hello,
I've frequently stumbled upon this problem so may as well seek some
advice.
I have a large document I work on this time of year. the default font
size is 11pt but now I want to change it to 10.5pt - gonna make it
into a booklet.
simply altering the 'default' setting does not automatically
modify the font size through the document. I don't want to 'select
all' since there are other font sizes bound to a couple of 'styles'
I'm using.
how do I change a setting and have it 'propagate' automagically
through the document? or is that not possible?
maybe copy and paste into a suitable template?

The easiest way is to use the Navigator (F5 key).
I get a little 'window' with rather obscure icons. what you describe
however I get with F11. maybe I configured things differently in this
regard.
must it be 'F5'?
Change the dropdowb at Navigator bottom to "Applied Styles". Press
first icon from left to select Paragraph styles and modify each of
the text styles by right clicking on the style and choosing Modify
from the popup to 10.5 pt (usually Text Body and Default). If you
have other body styles you will have to modify these as well.
assuming my 'F11' is your 'F5', doing this is precisely what doesn't
work. (sorry I was unclear.)
the document was begun with a certain 'default' of my devising, 11pt
font-size, first line indentation, etc.
suppose I invoke 'F11' etc and change the font to 'negreta'; Lo! all
the text is dark!
change font-size? nada.
If you have applied direct formatting instead of using styles
properly this will not work.
maybe I have inadvertently but passing strange it works with one kind
of font formatting but not the other.

Dreams are free, but there's a small charge for alterations.
