Hello. Is it possible to change the fonts of all footnotes in one go?

I have a couple of hundred footnotes in an 80,000-word document in Times Roman and wish to change it to Arial.

I am using Word 2007.

Thanks.

    Yes. Assuming the notes were created in the standard way, they will be in the Footnote Text style; modifying that style will modify them all at one go.

    The easiest way to do this:

    1. Right-click in a footnote paragraph and choose Style...
    2. In the Style dialog, Footnote Text should be selected. Click Modify...
    3. In the Modify Style dialog, change the font from TNR to Arial (you may want to modify the font size as well, since Arial tends to look larger than TNR).
    4. Click OK to close the Modify Style dialog and Apply to close the Style dialog.
    5. All your footnotes should have updated automatically.
