I need to replace a font in my document w/Arial, and I don't know the easiest way to go about it.

For some reason I assumed there was a simple "Find & Replace" method, like in InDesign or Quark, but I can't seem to find it.

Any suggestions?

Use the Paragraph Designer to make the change at the tag level by specifying Arial instead of whatever is in use.

If you have a number of tags, you can select them all in the document and then use a global command in the Para Designer to apply the new font to all selected tags.

If you have a book, once you've got a chapter set up, import the updated formats too all chapters by selecting them in the book file and Importing Formats to them with the edited chapter as your source.

Thanks! Yeah, I've done this on each Paragraph Style, but it looks like there are some leftover chunks of text that either weren't styled or are haven't updated, because when I run an index of font references it's still picking up instances the old font.

Maybe you forgot to set all unused format options to "as is"?

Another reason could be how you specified the replacement format. You can either apply a new direct formatting, or apply a certain character tag (using Edit > Copy Special to capture the replacement character tag from the current selection, and the 'Paste' option in the Find/Change dialog).
