Finding and Changing font
How does one use Find and Replace in Word 2007 to find a particular font,
then change the font and the size in a section of a document with more than one font, including fonts for headings and text? |

Finding and Changing font
Open the Replace dialog (Ctrl+H) and press on the MORE.. button. With the
cursor in the FIND box, click on Format (at the bottom of the dialog) and select Font and chose the font parameters you want to replace. Then go to the replace box and do the same but selecting the font parameters you want to use. That will do what you want. However, this is not best practice. What you should do is to have different styles setup. Then you would find one style and replace with the other style. That minimises all the direct formatting and keeps the document to minimum size and complexity and makes for far easier future editing. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Don Bouchard" wrote in message ...

But how does one establish a style in a document with various headings,
downloaded from another person who did not establish a style in the document? Thank you. |Don "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Open the Replace dialog (Ctrl+H) and press on the MORE.. button.

Finding and Changing font
If the received document was all formatted using direct formatting, then it
become a bit of a chore and unless it is a long, important document, then I would not consider changing it. However, if it is a document that is going to be around for some time - perhaps used as a template for other documents - it should be formatted correctly, which may mean removing all the direct formatting and then applying styles throughout. This isn't as daunting as it sounds because you can remove all direct formatting by selecting the whole document (Ctrl+A) and applying Ctrl+Q (Reset Para) and Ctl+Spacebar (ResetChar). Then go through applying correct styles. Terry "Don Bouchard" wrote in message ...
