Changing styles in word

[NNNNN]

The following macro will change the font name and size for all styles (not so sure about ALL)

>>
For x = 1 To ActiveDocument.Styles.Count
With ActiveDocument.Styles
If .Item(x).InUse = True Then
With ActiveDocument.Styles(.Item(x).NameLocal).Font
.Size = 12
.Name = "Times New Roman"
End With
End If
End With
Next
<<

HOWEVER

I have documents where the style id ‘Normal + 10pt’ which I need to change

Whilst the code happily changes the Normal to Times New Roman and the size to 12
It does nothing with the ‘Normal +10pt’

Haw can I fix this please

So many possibilities! As you want to change the whole document you could try:

[blue]ActiveDocument.Content.Font.Reset[/blue]

but that might change too much - if so it gets more involved.

Enjoy,
Tony

As Tony mentions, so many possibilities. Using his Reset may work for you, but if it does not then you may have to try something, as he puts it, more involved.

If you have things like 'Normal + 10pt', that that is BAD.

1. a good Word document never uses Normal, at all.

2. a good Word document never uses a manually modified Normal (as 'Normal + 10pt' is).

3. a good Word document uses explicit, and only explicit, Styles. That is how Word is designed to be used.

"It does nothing with the 'Normal +10pt' "

No, it won't. Why? Because you are actioning (correctly) Styles with:

With ActiveDocument.Styles

and Normal + 10pt is NOT a real Style. It is not part of ActiveDocument.Styles.

Say you can see Normal + 10pt in the Style dropdown. If you try to change something TO that "style" by code, it will fail.

Selection.Style = "Normal + 10pt"

Run-time error '5834'

Item with specified name does not exist.

Because it does NOT exist in the Styles collection.
