I need a bit of help with characters and paragraphs style

[Guest]

Hello there, i am new in this forum and i do know that if i would search 10+ hours throughout all the posts, i would find the answer to this very basic question, but, as expected, i am in a big hurry to fix my problem, so i kindly ask a compassionate fellow to point out at least where to read about my problem ...

So, i know to work with Paragraph Style, i edit a book and i have a basic text (with a specific name) so i can make changes that apply all over. So i did, but wherever i had previously italics or bold THEY STAY THE SAME FONT as in my previous choice!!! And i wish to learn to change those too - meaning i still want them bold, or italics, but in the new format, which is a different font! Is it a way to do this faster then browsing the text (400 pages) every line?

Thank you for helping,

i really need some hopes here

Hi Mona…

Could you do a find/change by searching for the paragraph style and then the character attributes (bold, italic, bold+italic)? And then change those to the specific character style that you have already setup. Make sure that the "Find what" and "Change to" fields are empty.
