Jon says:
 However, Frame has something most other Mac products lack:
character style sheets... There have been far more times when I wanted to
change all of my highlighted Bold words to highlighted Italic or something
else... It is extremely difficult in MS Word to do this (you can do it one
word at a time or use Search and Replace but that is a real pain)...

(Neither I nore Jon are jOn of Nisus, but this is another "Try Nisus"
blurb.  But the disclaimer is that I have no relation with Nisus except
as a satisfied customer...)

In Nisus it is extremely easy to do a replace-all command that simply
changes the bold-italic-helvetica to plain-times-12pt.  If in Word,
Search and Replace to do that is a pain, then indeed "Try Nisus."
Also, if, as Jon suggests, it is a question of changing stuff in
style "highlight" from one shape to another, that is even easier in
Nisus than the replace-all.
