Drop caps"make them bolded

[Theo331728749dq2]

How can I find all drop caps in a document and make them bolded?

If it was an applied paragraph style I could do it, but I did this before I had figured out paragraph styles and had thus applied the drop caps one at a time manually.

As you've already noted you should have used styles. Now? Try Find/Change and use the formatting options to find the drop caps. I would also recommend creating a character style for them so you can change them to that. That will give you the ability to fine tune everything with the style.

Thanks. Is there a way to apply the new paragraph and character style to all text but exclude the chapter headings?

When I apply the new style it also applies it to my chapter headings ie Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc.

Add the paragraph style you want to change to the find field.
