p10n Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I changed the font of some text fields in the master (the whole field, not inside the field). My document has already 16 pages, all referring to this master, but the copy text was already inserted. Now I changed the font in the master, and thought that the font change will affect all layout pages (at least those where I did not explicitly change the font within the text field). But this did not work. If I re-apply the master, all my copy text in the 16 pages is set back to the text of the master! Am I missing something?

walt.farrell Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 You should probably be setting up your text frames on the Master page using a Paragraph Text Style, not simply by specifying the font name. Then you could change the definition of that Text Style and all the text with that style would change. At this point, I think I would: Create a new document. Select the text from the existing document, copy it, and paste it into the new document. Reapply the Master Page to your document pages in the existing document. Delete the text in the existing document, and then select/copy/paste the text back into it from the new document. Serif plans to make some improvements to the process of reapplying Master Pages, but I don't think they've said what those improvements will be. p10n 1 Quote -- 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...
p10n Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 This sounds reasonable! I really should look into text styles. They seemed a bit weird to me (from what I knew from Designer, compared to the clearness of Corel Draw), so I had postponed dealing with them Thanks! walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
