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.
NOW you find that you should have used Styles!
Why is it always after the event?

I do have styles through the rest of the document, But I neglected the headers and footers...*smacks head*
So is there no way to do it post facto, except manually, and restlying them as I go?
I would think you can do it once for each section if my earlier suggestion of just defining the style for one header/footer doesn't work.
Yeah, unfortunately I wasn't even using the default header/footer style.
However, I realised that styling the headers will solve an unrelated problem. I wasn't sure how to handle left and right side headers when I wasn't yet sure of the final page count.
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.

You can set how left and right Headers are handled in the Layout Inspector.
I was thinking Headings above, but you say it was Headers and Footers you neglected to style. That's only a bit of work as you only have to style them for each section, not every page.
