Unfortunately, the background fill default settings apply only to
autoshapes, not to textboxes. You can use the format painter to format
all the textboxes pretty quickly, though. Just format one, select it,
then double-click the paintbrush. Click on textboxes you want to "paint"
with that format. Click the paintbrush again to deactivate the tool.
