Default writing test questions

Hello
I am writing a text which has many multiple choice questions. When writing questions i paid no attention to formatting at all so far.... and many questions have different indents or font sizes etc... and now it is time to format.



Obviously I want to make all questions look the same format, but I can not one by one do it because there are hundreds of questions.

My goal is to select all questions at once and apply formatting, but a question is composed of two parts: question and answer choices. To format only question texts i must select question parts one by one going through hundreds of questinos. for answers it is the same. this is difficult. can i just select the whole question and answers and apply a formatting and apply that to alll questions so that i can select at once?

Here is an example question:

1) Which one is not an example of a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?


A) Answer 1

B) Answer 2

C) Answer 3

D) Answer 4




How can I select this question and answer and apply a formatting so that all other questions and answer will look the same?

A classic example for the use of styles as outlined in:

Understanding Styles in Microsoft Word;
How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly; or
Why use Microsoft Word’s built-in heading styles? by Shauna Kelly

For reference, I am attaching a file where a "Question" and "Answer" style was roughly created/formatted representing your outline. Unfortunately, as I see it, you will probably have to go back and apply such formatting to each question/answer.

Of course, others may offer a better solution.

Hope this helps...
