Is there an OpenOffice macro to change italics into ASCII _underscores_?

I have some word documents I'd like to post to a mailing list, in ASCII text form.The problem is, these documents have a lot of italicized text in them. I don't want to have to go back through the entire story duplicating all my underlining work, so I'd like to change that back to ASCII in some automatic way following the standard convention of _underlining_ words that are meant to be italic, or *asterisking* those meant to be bold.Is there an OpenOffice plugin that will do this for me?

Try this one, I think you can search and replace using paragraph formatting with it: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/IannzFindReplace.sxw
