GeoffW Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I expect that changing the font size in a paragraph style definition would change all paragraphs tagged with that style throughout the document. That does not appear to be the case! Publisher 1.7.0.292 Mac This is so basic that I guess it is me that just doesn't know which button to push. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

That is how it works for me with the one caveat: The font size can be over-ridden by a Character Style. The [No Style] style isn't actually a style and as such cannot be changed en masse.

That does not appear to be the case! It should work as you expect. Can you provide a sample .afpub file that shows it working otherwise? If so, perhaps we can point out something you did to cause that, or help determine that there's a bug. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did, you will need to reset such text to use the style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffW Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Thanks, everyone for your feedback. I attached a couple of screenshots to try and illustrate my confusion. I seem to remember InDesign had the + after a style name and you just option clicked to update the text. Looks like Publisher has more options and it is not intuitive how they all interrelate. I will read the help section again very slowly - I'm sure this will be another one of those - it's easy once you know how to do it features.

GeoffW Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm still finding the switch from Adobe a bit of a challenge, sure it will get easier as I figure out Affinities little quirks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
