I have a document with more than a hundred pages, full of definition paragraphs:
ABC: 142543748
DFR: 54484
DTHJ: 7648dh877
DGHH: 7484g6
Initially I made every definition bold (ie: "ABC: 142543748..."), but then restyled the document, which overrode all the bold definitions, and saved it without "versions" enabled.
What do I do from here? Manually changing everything would be ridiculous.
A simple macro should work
Dim oPara As Paragraph
For Each oPara In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
If oPara.Range.Words(2).Characters(1) = ":" Then
oPara.Range.Words(1).Font.Bold = True
End If
Next oPara

or you could use a wildcard search and replace - http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm
