How to I select all the text in an Affinity Publisher document on multiple pages?

[Simz]

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to select all the text in my document on multiple different pages. I can do one page by doing Ctrl A but I cannot seem to select the entire document. Even when I select the pages I cannot seem to change the font on all of them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @Simz.

You can only select all the content of a set of linked text frames. If you have some text frames that are not linked (or are not part of the samed linked set of frames) then you'll need to select their text separately in a different operation.

Your best approach for changing fonts is to use Text Styles, and then you can simply change the font for that Text Style, and all the text with that style changes automatically.

If you haven't used Text Styles, and you have text frames that are not linked together, and you really do want to change all the text, then you could try Find and Replace. From the menu, Text > Find.... Then click the gear cog for the Find field, then click Format. Make sure that Regular Expression is set:

Put .* in the find box.

Then click the gear cog next to the "Replace with" field, and click Format. That will bring up the Choose Format dialog, where you can specify the replacement font:

Another simpler option is to select all your text frames and click on your Paragraph Text style to apply it on all the text.

This way, if you need some text frames to have a Header text style, it's easy: do it with this style after selecting those frames.
