select all fields in a form
I'm using a form with fields, and what i'm wanting to do is be able to select
all of the fields at once to change font or size, without changing the whole document. I've learned here about the format painter, but still a lot of fields to click on, it'd be much easier to be able to select all the fields at once, JUST the fields. thanks a bunch! Alan |

Alan No, you can't do that. What you can do, though, is define a character style and apply it to all the fields. To change the size or other font formatting, you modify the definition of the style, and all the places that have the style will change immediately. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
