automatic reset of font size in field "comments"?

Is there a way to automatically (i.e. "edit metadata") reset / change / increase the font size within the field "comments" for a number of pres-selected ebooks?

I have various older ebooks with different comment font size and would like to reset and then increase the font size so that all have the same font size.

By the way - calibre is a really great tool !!

Not in bulk but you can use the remove formatting button above the comments text in the edit metadata dialog to remove all formatting easily. So you would need to open the edit metadata dialog, select all text, click remove formatting and then click next repeatedly for every book.

Thank you kovid for the extremly fast reply.

Yes, I did exactly that when I first tried to change the comment font size for a number of books.

I am sorry for not being clear enough: I was actually looking for some "bulk change" in order to limit the number of clicks

You might be able to do something with search and replace, if the books have very similar markup in their comments, but you'd need to know how to use regular expressions for that.
