General Software Discussion / Re: Is it possible to search for rogue font types in a Word document?
« on: July 13, 2007, 01:26 PM »
Just had a look at Word 2k+3 and it's a whole lot easier :)
(My company uses 2K so I mostly stick with that as I'm easily confused :-[ )
Of course, if you didn't use styles in the first place, you'll have a whole heap of them to go through :)
Oh, and the Check Formatting Consistency tool is rubbish ;)

- Choose Format, Styles and Formatting
- In the panel that appears (usually on the right) there's a Show dropdown
- Select Formatting In Use
- Where text of a particular style has had its format changed, the style will be called e.g. Body Text + Times New Roman or Body Text + 12 point to indicate the changes.
- Right click the rogue style and you can select all instances of it
- That means you can apply a correct style immediately to everything
- You can also delete a style + whatever and it'll automatically format the text using the base style
