replace a period with larger font instead of having to change every single one on my own

I am trying to replace a size 12 period to a larger size period and I don't want to go in a select them all idividually and was wondering if there was any way that I could look up periods in my document and then replace them with a different size all at one time!?

I think you can use Find … to do this.


Select a single period and change it to the size you want. With it still selected,

Create a new Character Style from the selection (when I tested it I named the style Bigdot)

In the Find & Replace window, enter a period in both the Find and the Replace fields.

Under Find leave the Style set to Any (unless you want to restrict the search to, for example, just the Body style text or something like that)

Under Replace, set the style to your new Character style.

Click Replace All.
