Selecting all headers across sections

I've got a 600 page document divided into ~40 sections. A few of them are incorrectly in Times New Roman font. Is there any way to select all headers to change the font, or do I have to check each section's header individually?


I have the same issue with page numbers. In some sections, they have the wrong font.


Thanks!

It would seem that you haven't use the same style for all of headers or used a style at all. Click in one of the correct headers & then use the style pane to redefine the header & footer style from the selection. That should change all of the headers & footers to that font & size. On a quick test, I created a document with two sections & set the second section to not use previous headers & footers. All that did was allow me to enter different content, but when I changed the header & footer style in one section, it changed in both.

You can set an Fkey for the Styles, so set one for Headers and then just mouse through your document clicking on the headers to apply it.


You can command click select to get multiple non-contiguous paragraphs and then apply the style, one of the nicer things about Pages. I reduce the view to as small as I can whilst still being able to distinguish the text. Then I grab as much as I can in one go and style it. You only need a bit of the text not all of it. Double clicking on a word is usually fastest.


To force the style onto paragraphs that may have variable styling and resist the named style, double click on the Style in the Styles Drawer with the text selected.
