[Framers] Best Method, Word 2013 to Frame 2019.

[Shmuel Wolfson]

If everything is tagged as Normal, you can do a find/replace in Word to 
find specific character formats, such as a specific font size, a certain 
font, or bold, and replace with a specific style. Word's Find/Replace is 
very good. To do this, leave the Find box blank.
