and replace it with a different character style. My sense is that the
best you can do if you want to modify character style X that's been
applied is:
1. Create a new style Y that you want to use to replace X.
2. Manually go through your document looking for places where
characters have had style X applied. Change the text to the default,
then apply style Y.
3. Delete style X and hope you didn't miss anything in step 2.
Am I overlooking a better approach?
you can search and replace styles in the Find & Replace dialog. Click
More Options, then check Search for Styles checkbox.
To add a style that changes text color to Red,
1. Press F11 for Styles & Formatting window
2. Click the Character Styles icon
3. Right-click the Default style and choose New
4. Enter "Red" or something as a name
5. Go to Font Effects tab and select red color.
6. Click OK.
7. See the new Red style in the list.
8. Select the text that should be painted with the Red style.
9. Double-click the Red entry in Styles & Formatting window.
Looks difficult at first sight, but once you get it it is really easy.
