FInd and replace with formating

HI Shadedlight,

Haven't you asked this question (or a very similar one) before?

It has certainly come up recently, and memory (which can be faulty at times) attaches your name to it.

Be that as it may, the answer now is the same as it was then—Find/Replace in Numbers works with content, and does not deal with Format/style.

If you think this is an essential feature (or one that would be useful to a large portion of Numbers users), use Provide Numbers Feedback, found in the Numbers menu, to make a Feature Enhancement request directly to Apple.

Here, you're talking with users of the software, not the developers or development leaders.

Scripts can search for font name and size, though not for underlining. They could probably do the job here, though it isn't clear exactly what you are trying to do.

However, scripts take time to write and (based on other threads) it's not clear that you find them helpful.

Hi MwP

"No need to find a replace if you're changing every single cell's contents to a specific font size."

Not really what Shadedlight is trying to do:

"I want to be able to change each of those words in each cell to font size 18."

My reading is that those words are headings, and that there are other words in the cell that are to be left as is, with normal weight type.

This might be possible with an assist from Applescript. The script itself could prove difficult to write.

No need to find a replace if you're changing every single cell's contents to a specific font size. Just select all the cells and change the font size.

Breakdown:

Select one cell in your table. Then hold Command+A to select all.

Then,

Go to Format --> Text --> Choose 18 as your font size.

Hi Shadedlight,

Asking earlier isn't an issue. I was just curious, not annoyed.
