  Are you sure you can't do this.  Because if you tell FWP to match with
the wild card character, and also match style.  Select UpperCase in the style
dialog, then have it only "affect" the style for making changes.
  I haven't tried it yet, but I think if you'll play with the "Matching" menu
and the "Affect" menu in the "Find/Change" dialog you might be able to get
it to do what you want.
