Suppose that I want the font to be 18 points instead of 16 points; must I change each affected selection individually?

No. You can select one block of text and move the mouse over the Selected Text area. Click image from book that appears and click Select All Text With Similar Formatting. Make the font change, and Word changes all selected text. Also see the section “Apply Formatting Using Styles.”
