Stefan, what I meant was to change the formatting after the document has already been largely done (it was by a previous author). For e.g.

- Test 1
> Test 2
- Test 3
> Test 4

I'm trying to bold all paragraphs with the ">" bullet. They have not been marked with a character style at the point of creation. I've tried to define a character style for all the ">" bullets at once (Define new bullet> Font> Bold), but the bold formatting only applies to, for e.g. only Test 2 instead of Test 2 & 4. On the other hand, changing the list indent does work for all the paragraphs with the same bullet symbol automatically.

It would be indeed so so much easier if I could find all ">" and mark them with a style.

Thanks,
Jay
