changing font throughout a document


Recommended Posts

Yes, click somewhere in the text, then on the main menu bar choose Select and then Select All, then choose the font that you want.

However, I just tried it, and it works, but I set up a test using Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic in Arial and changed the font to Times New Roman and just got all Regular.

That may be a feature or a bug. Hopefully it is a bug and will be fixed.

Oh, I am having a bit of a problem here, I am used to PagePlus having the facility to add a new page with a text frame just the same as on the first page and then one can click on an arrow and the text just flows into the next page.

So I am in a pickle. Can anyone help please before the pickle get thicker and sets!

How about Find & Replace? Find = Regular Expression (click on cog) and type in . <- the dot as regular expression for any character.

Replace with = Format (click on cog) and select the new font. Select only the font, no font weight.

Unfortunately I cannot search for a specific font with Format, just gives me empty results. A bug?

Workaround: If the to-be-replaced font has the same font weight as the original it works as described. To clarify: The font weights have to be literally the same. Bold with Bold works, Regular Bold with Bold does not work.

If you have a page with an existing Text Frame, and you insert text into it, and the text overflows, then you can shift-click on the red link triangle and Publisher will create new pages (based on the same Master Pages) and a new Text Frame with the same characteristics and reflow the text into it.

Yes, Finding based on a font family is currently broken.
