Replace Formatting

[Lucia]

I have the Word "Menu" in many Topics, and I want it to be bold in all of them. Is there a way I can automatically format it so it will be bold in all of the Topics in my Project?

Thank you very much.

Search and replace, select "Search in Source Code", select "Whole Project",
search for Menu
Replace with <B>Menu</B>

You might want to replace one at a time rather than the replace all, in case Menu is in a bookmark or style tag etc

Or you could create a span class or a generic class that has font-weight set to bold, and use Greg's process except instead of <B>Menu</B> it would be <span class="menuHilite">Menu</span> (for example). The benefit of using a class is that if you later decide you want Menu to display in a blue font instead of being bolded, you simply change the style of the span class instead of doing another find-and-replace to change from <b>...</b> to something else.

I'd go with this. I created character style for menu items, even though all it is is a bold formatting applied. At least when you want to change the colour of the font or do something else in future with it, you can with very little effort.

Thank you very much.

I'm happy everybody is always so kind around the Forums
