Selecting all text for formatting

[Miles Hayler]

I was just wondering if anyone knows of an easy way to select all the text in
all text boxes in Publisher, so as the font can be formatted.

I've just drawn a diagram (network schematic) with some 70 or 80 text boxes,
and discovered that I need more space. I have tried hitting Ctrl-A but this
won't let me change any font settings, I've also tried using "Ctrl-Click" to
select only the text boxes and not the adjoining lines, also to no avail. The
closest I've managed si the format paster which also pastes the
borders/colours etc. of the text box itself. Publisher seems to want me to
select each text box in turn, then highlight the text within. There must be
an easier way? Surely?

Did you try the font schemes tools? (Format menu) Create a scheme of your own by
selecting Styles and Formatting or use a built in. You can select all the text
boxes and apply.

It still won't allow me to change the font style without the text within the
text boxes selected. I have tried applying the scheme to just one text box
and it still doesn't change it

Thanks
