If not one key….. what is the quickest way I can do this?

And yes it is always Arial… always size 11….and always a specific colour.

The icing on the cake would be if a command could be added to the Quick Acess toolbar to do this…. but I am guessing this would be more likely for a ‘wishlist’ for a future version of Word.

Best Wishes,

Replacing selected text with a style works well but I usually find I missed a bit.

If you want to fix existing documents do one of two things;
a. Ignore 2013 default search bar it's horrendous
b. Type Ctrl-H to get Search & Replace.

This Option lets you replace a specific Font , Color, Size with another
1. Click In the Find What Box
a. Click More
b. Click Format and Select Font
c. Select the font you want to change, and if it's coloured , and size
d. Click in Replace With and Repeat above to new Font , size & Color
e. Replace All or Replace Selectively

This Option lets you replace one style with another. It isn't as fine grained as the above but can be refined with extra criteria in the Find What section

1. . Click In the Find What Box
a. Click More
b. Click Format and Select Style
c. Select the Style you want to replace
d Click in Replace With and Repeat above to new Style
e. Replace All or Replace Selectively
