Sorry to seek such prosaic help-- I need to make every entry in a FileMaker database a different font. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to select all. The actual select all button doesn’t do anything, and I can’t find anything in the help file. Any ideas?

Go to Layout view, right click in the field you want to change, and select Text Format. This will change the font off all entries made into that field.

No problem. I love FileMaker. I’m surprised more people don’t use it.
