Lluís Posted August 12, 2021 Posted August 12, 2021 I've seen isn't possible to copy/paste styles with the same name on different documents. Publisher makes new styles. The reason to do that is, imagine that I have 5 calendar variants and I want to update year. I do it manually on 1 model and I would like to be able to copy/paste all updated data into anothers ones but keeping its own text styles. I can do it on Indesign, I just have to make sure each document has the same text style names and then only the data will be copied, each document will retain its own styles. It's a shame it doesn't work in Publisher!😪 A possible intermediate solution for Publisher would be to make it possible to copy (substitute) a text style into another one. I don't know if you understand me! PaoloT 1 Quote

You can do something like that now, using Find and Replace, which lets you find text with a specific text style and change it to a different one.

Thank you walt.farrell. It's not perfect but finally worked. Unfortunately Find and Replace doesn't recognize Character Styles inside Paragraph Styles easely. I've tried many combinations and nothing works, but finally I found a somewhat far-fetched solution. Create a base Paragraph Style. Create a Character Styles for every different text type. And then is necessary apply "Find & Replace" first for the Paragraph Styles and finally apply a base Paragraph Style to a whole text but from the Text Styles studio. Is not as easy as the copy paste (same-name-styles) method. Anyway I hope that Serif adds this function in a future release.🤞 walt.farrell and Wosven 2 Quote
gw_westdale Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 I would really like a Paste Special option that is almost the inverse of Paste Serif Persona - called something like "Paste update matching stylenames"' My problem is not as hard as LLuis but this would also help him if it handled para and alpha styles. I want to paste a couple of last year's very effective passages of text from political fliers across to new documents. This month / year, we are going to make our headings a little bolder and perhaps a different font so we have tweaked the standard style sheet If Heading 1, Heading 2 , Heading 3, content , content 1st para ..... etc were to be used by the incoming text with those style names, I wouldn't have to hunt for Heading 1 1 and half a dozen others, it would just happen. It would also avoid my workaround which is to post as plain text and update all the different styles 😞 Quote Win 11 PCs 64bit Envy and Envy tablet + Filter Forge Retired computer systems tester doing graphics for charities and politics etc.
