I imported a Word document and would like to replace some of the styles that came with it with some that come with NWP. Is there a way I can search for the Word styles and replace them with the NWP styles? I couldn't find a way in the program nor in the manual so I think the answer is no, but I'm hoping there is some way to do it.
Thanks,
Ernest
Search and replace styles?
Re: Search and replace styles?
you can find "any" text with a specific style and replace to the same text ("found" ) with a different style (or attributes). This is done in the find and replace window. just put the wildcard "any" into the find window, apply to it the style you wish to find, and in the replace window put the match/found with its required attributes.

Hi, Ernest.
I’m not sure what you mean by styles. Are you calling styles a font attribute, like Italics or bold? Or are you referring to named styles, like Normal, Heading 1 and so on? Do you have a bunch of documents with a set of styles that need to be adapted. E.g. have you documents with a style called Normal with the following attributes: Helvetica, 12 points, regular, alignment flush, and you want to substitute Times for Helvetica? Many times, this is the case when fonts with slightly different names are involved.
You can do all of this and in different ways (all of which are more or less handy than Word’s). But, can you be more specific?
