Off course I know to change the size of text that use some sort of font using Find/Replace. I also know how to replace one typeface for another using Find Font. What I'd like to know is whether there is any way to change the size of font (or any other property) of some sort of typeface and that change would affect paragraph and character styles;

    1. Select the Paragraph Style in the Paragraph Styles Panel.
    2. Then select Style Options from the panel's Options menu.
    3. You can then change any property in the style, including the font size or other property.
    4. Do the same for Character Styles in the Character Styles Panel.

    As mentioned, it's vital to work in InDesign with Paragraph and Character Styles – Object Styles are also very useful.

    Before changing a style, check if it is based on another one.

    Having your style tree dependencies in a good, logical order is a valuable timesaver, and can prevent errors such as forgetting to adjust one.

    Thank for your answer. You are totally right. The trouble is I didn't care about creating such dependencies when I created the styles. Now is too late. Creating dependencies now would be as hard to do as what I intend to do.
