Hi there,
In the older versions of Nisus/Pro, when I hit "select all" in a doc that had various fonts and/or font sizes, I could standardize everything to one font and font size. In the latest release, I have to select sections and change them individually to create a single font/font size for a doc. Is this just part of the new release? Or maybe a glitch on my end? Appreciate any feedback!

Re: Changing various fonts & font sizes to one in a doc
I wonder if you're not being confused by a change we made with how the palette steppers (up/down arrows) work. They now adjust all selected values individually, whether it's font size, paragraph spacing, etc.
For example, suppose you had selected a piece of text with two font sizes, one word of size 12pt, and another with a size of 20pt. If you click the up arrow once, you'd wind up with font sizes 13pt and 21pt respectively, not a uniform font size of 13pt.
If you want to enforce a consistent value across all selected text, you can do any one of the following:
1. Hold down the Command key when clicking the up/down arrows.
2. Change the font size by clicking into the text field and typing in a new font size using the keyboard.
3. Enforce the first selected existing font size uniformly by clicking into the text field and pressing the Enter (or Return) key.
I hope this is clear. Please let us know if you have any questions or this does not explain the behavior you observe.

Thank you so much! The "command" trick is what I wasn't aware of in this version. I'm totally set now. Thank you again!
