Hi,

I am designing a form with a considerable number of text boxes contained
within a layout table.  I would like to 'easily' change the attributes for
all of the text boxes at the same time.  For instance, I want them to all be
formatted as a decimal field with 2 decimal places.  

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this without having to
modify the properties for each text box one at a time.

Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Jesse.

Hi Jesse,
Yeah, I've moaned at MS about this one before during the beta testing of
IP 2007.  It's pants.
As far as I can tell thus far and in my conversations with many others, you
have to do it on a per item basis; eg: click each text box individually and
change it on it's own.
Some attributes(eg:shading) can be changed for a whole selection (use ctrl+click
to select), but not the formatting of the text. :-(
cheers
Bruce
