Harold Trammel Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 In Microsoft Word, it is possible to select all occurrences of a given format and then apply a new or different style. This is very helpful when importing text from different Word files that different formatting. I cannot find how to do this so I suspect this is a feature request. Thank you in advance.

Fixx Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Sounds like you would need function like "Replace Style". In InDesign this happens when you just delete a style; InDesign will ask what style will be used instead of the deleted one. Unfortunately Publisher does not work that way.

Yes it is. In the Find and Replace panel select a cog (top right) and you should be able to search for paragraph styles, character styles and replace them with new ones. It's quite powerful.
