      With some experimentation, I did the following:
When typing the I:, M:, and F:, I italicized them. In terms of 
keystrokes this is
1) Control+I followed by I: followed by  Control+I.
2) Control+I followed by M: followed by  Control+I.
3) Control+I followed by F: followed by  Control+I.
     Then when I did the find and replace, the replacement to the style 
of what I searched for. This is what I think you were looking for.
