change font size total document with one command


Recommended Posts

I don't think it's possible, but ask the question here just to be sure:
I have created a document (AP 2), where the font choice and size are a bit disappointing when reading on an iPad. Now I would like to change the font size.

Is there a way to change the font size in the entire document (80 pages) with one command? So: Dax Regular 12 pt should become Dax Regular 13 pt

(Would save a lot of work!)

AP 2 version 2.0.4

Don't believe everything you think

  1. If you used a Text Style, just update the Text Style and all the text will change.
  2. If not, and if by AP 2 you mean Publisher 2 (not Photo, which is what AP means) you can click in a Text frame and Ctrl-A and select all the text in all the linked Text Frames. Then make your change in the Context Toolbar.
  3. If you didn't used linked Text Frames, or if you have other text that you don't want to change, and you're using Publisher 2, you can use Find and Replace to locate all the text with that font and font size, and change the characteristics. The gear icons for Search and for Replace will let you do that.

Or select all Text Frames (select in Layers panel, or menu Select, Select Objects) and change font size.

what is the abbreviation for Publisher? APU???

Nah. An APU is a term used by bush pilots for equipment used to heat aircraft engines in extreme cold environments. Other styles of APUs provide power to an aircraft when it's on the ground and certain systems may need power. It's also used for starting jet engines. Although, I suppose we could piggyback and use it for Publisher. APub works better for me. Your mileage may vary.

Edited to add that I once got caught out in -50 in Northern Canada. I used a propane lantern placed inside the closed clamshell doors of a Hughes 500 to warm the engine sufficient that I could get a start. I had twin nicad batteries that I kept inside the cabin (that's cabin as in trapper's cabin), so they weren't a problem. I've worked in Africa, too, but providing heat wasn't a problem there.

Either APu or APub can be used. Likewise, either AP or APh can be used as an abbreviation for Affinity Photo.
