I edited large document using Outline View and split content to level 1
(heading), 2 (paragraph) and text.

Then when to change each paragraph's font to heading 3, but there is way to
much paragraphs to do it manually.

When i collapse document to show only heading and paragraphs (level 2) and
then sellecing them and changing font to heading 3 all text that is within
them changes to heading 3 as well.

How can i sellect multiples paragraphs (level 2) that are collapsed and
contain text and leave text within them unsellected or how else i can
achieve what i want?

Hi John,

After you select the text, use "Find/Replace" to replace "Format Paragraph Outline level: 2" with "Format Style: Heading 3".

Thanks Klaus, but it It does not work, it replaces all subtext too e.g. if
Level 2 text has level 3, level 4 and "text" level in it it changes all of
it to Level 2 Heading 3 style..

Selecting a collapsed heading in Outline view also selects the subordinate
text; that is by design.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why can't you just perform the find &
replace in Print Layout view, without selecting any text first?

You right it works like this, thanks. I am just new to this advanced
features and did not figured out that i must use print view, were trying in
outline view at first.

But here comes another problem when i select in Find and Replace window
Format Style and select in Replace Style window "Heading 2" it does not
replace font style and size it just changes it to Level 2, although there is
"Heading 2 Char" preset that does work.
Can i add new preset to that window or make old one "Heading 2" set style as
well somehow or i have to set font style and size settings additionally
manually each time i use find and replace again?

Word preserves manually applied font formatting (not paragraph formatting) when you replace with a paragraph style.
To get rid of that manual font formatting, you can search for "Heading 2" and replace with the "Default Paragraph Font".

"Heading 2 Char" is a character style that can be applied on top of some other paragraph style to make the text look like "Heading 2".
Word (2002/2003) creates it automatically when you try to apply the paragraph style to part of a paragraph.
Usually, it hides the "Char" part of the name -- which can be very confusing: You think you've applied "Heading 2" when you've just applied a character style that looks like "Heading 2".
I would avoid it, or even delete it (... search if it's applied somewhere first).

Regards,
Klaus

Klaus did reply with an explanation of what character styles are and a
suggestion that you may be incorrectly selecting the paragraph before
applying the style.
