Hi
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the fonts in multiple
documents all at the same time please? (with out opening them)
thanks
Without opening them? Maybe David Copperfield could do it... <g>
If the documents already exist, you'd need a batch macro to change the
fonts.
See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm -- or ask in one of
the Word VBA newsgroups.
It would be better to iterate through the styles and change the font there,
rather than to change the font with Find/Replace.
If it's something you want to do for future documents, there's a document
setting in "Tools > Teplates and Add-Ins" that causes the document to fetch
its styles from the attached template, every time you open it.
If that's checked, you only need to change the template, and the fonts in
all documents attached to it will update automatically the next time you
work with them.
Updating numbered styles is a bit buggy/problematic though, at least it was
so in the past. So I wouldn't change numbering in the template.
