Word: Make style changes to similarly formatted noncontiguous text
Want to change the format of 10 different chapter headings scattered throughout
your document? Instead of searching through the document and finding each one to
change individually, use Word's “Select Text With Similar Formatting” to select
and change all at once. For example, to change all chapter headings to a blue
font color, follow these steps:
Right-click the first chapter heading text.
Select "Styles" and then "Select Text With Similar Formatting" from the shortcut
menu -- all items with the same formatting will now be selected.
On the Formatting toolbar, click the Font Color drop-down list and select blue.
