fontFace, fontStyle, and fontSize

Here is a recent email from a customer: Is there a code you know of…. to use in the Command Window that would change the text of a field to:

font = ms sans serif, font style = bold, size = 14.

I am have to change several fields (not all) to this and looking for a faster method than highlighting and clicking on all the info to change.

Here is my response:

Good idea. Easiest is to select the field in question and use this script in the Command Window:

fontFace of selection = "ms sans serif"; fontStyle of selection = "bold"; fontSize of selection = 14

If you don’t see the results, the text itself may have a different font applied. In that case, you can use this script:

fontFace of text of selection = "ms sans serif"; fontStyle of text of selection = "bold"; fontSize of text of selection = 14
