You probably are unable to multiple-select because the Text Boxes are set to
In Line with Text. You can only select multiple objects if they are in the
Drawing Layer - Some type of Text Wrapping applied.

Use the F4 technique suggested in macropod's second post (immediately after
formatting one) or select a formatted object then dbl-clk the Format Painter
Button & click the others one by one.

Holding shift nd clicking on additional boxes doesn't work. Am having to do
each on individually. Is there a setting somewhere for this?

Hi Boomer,

Select each of the text boxes (eg select the first, hold down the Shift key
& select the second, and so on), then use Format|Text Box|Colors and Lines
to apply the required color.

How do I change the color of the fill in an existing text box? I have
added
several comments on a TIFF image and now want to make this change without
redoing everything. If it is possible, can it be done globally? Am using
Word
