somnolentsurfer Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 In Affinity Publisher, is there any way to select all instances of a text style? Or any other way to find anywhere a style is used within a document? A load of my styles have somehow got duplicated, and I need to work out which are safe to delete.

walt.farrell Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Possibly this would help? But to directly answer your question, Find and Replace will let you search for Text Styles. Choose the gear icon associated with the Find field to supply formatting options, then choose the character or paragraph style to search for. (If you don't see the full list, try opening the Text Styles panel first.)

I'd been right clicking on the styles looking for an option to select all so I'd found the delete option, but I'm reluctant to use that. I'm working with a document template and, while I might not have used all the styles in it now, I should have used most of them by the time I'm done. Doing this has prompted another question I've been wondering about for a while, but I guess that's better in it's own thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
