I can't find a way to change text to, say, red background or blue
font or bold & italic. That would be nice ...
Once you have made any such changes, go back and find them all again
using Find & Replace (with a different search, of course) and Find
All; this selects all the text you want to affect. You can now
easily change font, font effects, highlighting, and so on. It takes
only one operation to change any number of occurrences as long as you
use Find All.
The only oddity appears to be background colour, where you must use
Format | Character... | Background instead of the Background Color
button in the Formatting toolbar, since that changes the paragraph
rather than character property - so it affects the whole paragraph(s)
rather than just the selection.
I trust this helps.
