How to change font of all styles at once

Post by moosavy »

Hi
I'm using Mellel for writing in Persian. Default font of Mellel is not suitable for me. I want to change the font of styles. But at this time I don't know how to change all of them at once. Now, I have to change the character styles one by one. Is there any way to change all of character styles at once.
Also I need to change paragraph direction for all paragraph styles. I want to do it for all of them at once, is there a way?
Thanks

Regarding font in all styles: If you are using styles and not styling the text ad-hoc then you will have to go the styles one-by-one and change the font. Otherwise you can simply select the whole text and apply the font you wish to use.
Tip: If you go and change the styles one-by-one then you can do it more efficiently by editing the style set in the style set window, choose Styles->Edit Style Sets..., double click the first style, modify it and then click the >> button to move to the next style (Mellel will ask you if to save changes to the style, say yes)
Regarding paragraph direction: The direction is not part of the style, it is applied just to the text. To make the entire document go right-to-left, select the whole text and apply right to left. Also note that there is a general direction (called "binding direction") for the document (effecting things like the default direction for certain elements, right and left pages and more). If your document is mainly right-to-left, make sure to set the binding direction to right to left. Do this by choosing File->Document Setup and choosing "Right to left" in the binding direction popup.

So there is not any feature like “theme” to manage font for all body and heading styles?

The font is defined in the style and you can override it in the text, the style doesn't inherit any attributes from other styles or from a theme.
