Stuart, > You have been applying Paragraph Styles to the content of the book, right? > If so, trivial--just edit the Paragraph style and change the font.
As it happens, no, but that's because the whole manuscript is an import from Davkawriter (running in Wine) which doesn't do styles. However, the book is mainly in English, but with some headings and lines in Hebrew. There are a lot of single words or phrases of Hebrew within an otherwise entirely English paragraph. That's why the equivalent of: g/FRankRuel/s//SBL Hebrew/ would be so useful. > If not, you can select the entire document. Remove ALL direct formatting. > Then work back through applying some mix of styles to the manuscript. That would still mean visiting and changing every piece of Hebrew text, which is what I have been doing. > Alternatively, you can open the ODF Archive with a Zip program. Then > open with an XML or simple text editor to review the Styles.xml and the > Content.xml--identify the changes needed. Yes, I guessed it might come down to that. Is it safe? Does the Content.xml file have a checksum or something like that stored somewhere else to guarantee the integrity of the text? > trial and error approach to get it reformatted. A trade-off between doing the conversions by hand, but knowing that I have got them all as I go through the pages, and hoping that I have understood the XML well enough to catch everything but then having to do a detailed check.

Another four manuscripts to process from this source before actually getting to start something new.
