I don't know what was the solution proposed, but when I had to do 
the same global change in my dissertation (like changing every 
subscript 2 pt in 9 pt into a subscript 3 pt in 10 pt), I saved my 
file in RTF (Rich Text Format). Then I opened it with a text-editor 
with grep facilities (like Qued/M or MPW), performed a global change 
of the coding of the subscript/font size format (I don't remember 
how it is coded, but it is easy to figure it), and then re-opened it 
with Word, et voila.

I hope it helps.
