: Changing InDesign Master Text Size After the Fact I am just wondering (if u dont mind helping me with a question)......if I create a master page, and then I edit the text in the actual page

I am just wondering (if u dont mind helping me with a question)......if I create a master page, and then I edit the text in the actual page (therefore overriding it), and then go back to the master page, and change the text size of that box, it doesnt change the text I changed.

Is there a way to do this? For instance I may want to change the text size or things in a template at a later date. If I apply the master to all the pages after, I would have to re-enter in all the data/content all over again.

Because I am creating a PDF of a company's brochure but the size of the product pages may need to be changed later. If I want to do this, all the data would need to be reentered. So I think there must be a way but I just started using it a few days ago.

Thanks a lot!

Set up Character Styles or Paragraph Styles to handle this. Then when you need to update the font/size/leading/spacing/etc., go to the appropriate Character or Paragraph style and make the changes. Everything in your document using that Character or Paragraph Style will then be updated with your changes (assuming you're not overriding them locally - i.e. styling the text via selection and changing character/paragraph properties on the selection instead of applying a Character or Paragraph style). Read through InDesign's User Guide for more details on how this works.
