o In the Find & Replace dialogue, click More Options.
o With the cursor in the "Replace with" box, click Format and then 
click Italic under Typeface on the Font tab.  (You don't need to 
select a Font or Size.)

Is that what you are doing?  The format attribute of the "Replace 
with" text appears to be remembered; did you perhaps for some reason 
click No Format and cancel your italics the day before yesterday?

I trust this helps.
