Default Find and Replace Line Spacing


I changed the font from Simplified Arabic to Arial, The line spacing of simplified Arabic was 1.5. but the new changed Arial line spacing is looking very shriked. When I change to 3.0 it looks same as simplified Arabic document line spacing (.Eg: 1.5).

So I need to find all line spacing and replace to double. For Example if the linespacing is 1.5 then it should replace to 3.0.
IF the line spacing is 2.5 then it should replace to 5.0.

Please help Thanks

The simple method is to use styles and either change to a different style or modify the existing style.

I do not think that you can do this with a replace. I would need a macro.

Find/Replace cannot change paragraph formats. If your document has employed Styles correctly, your desired outcome can be achieve by no more than changing the relevant Style definitions.
