You can use you the menu item attrib/typeface to change the font, and/or
size etc without changing other attributes such as color, etc (though you
can't do the "scale the font relative")... granted, I just discovered
attrib/typeface about 3 weeks ago after using BB for years!

Subject: Document attributes



Does anyone ever have the need to change a single attribute
throught a document?

I frequently do. For example to increase the type size from
10 point to 12 point. But what I really want is to increase
the point size by 2 points so that if some stretch of text is
already at 12 point I want that to go to 14 point etc.

Another case is when I want to change from variable width
to fixed width type but I wish to retain all the other
attribute values as they were: Color, bold, underscore, etc.

Selecting all of the text in a document and setting it to
courier or 12 point does not do what I want since the other attributes
get changed to uniform values throughout the document.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to change only 1 attribute
at a time?
