Default Text box fill

Are 'Phreddy' & 'Boomer' one in the same?

Either way I see no indication of anyone looking to hurt either of you
You may not have had success with macropod's F4 suggestion because it must
be done immediately after an action - and only repeats that action. If you
had gone on to do something else F4 (which calls the EditRedoOrRepeat
command) would not pertain to the formatting action.

IOW, if you select an object & reformat it using the Format Object dialog
you can select the next one & press F4 to format it with all the same
effects (because all changes made in the dialog are applied as a single
action). However, if you use the toolbar to change several effects F4 will
only apply the last *one* of those to the newly selected object. By the same
token you can use F4 to just about any action.

Thanks to all for the replies. Please don't hurt me. 'I had been doing a
lot all day and I was using Document Imaging. Not Word. Everything was
very informative. I learned a lot and will use this info on other
documents that I work with in Word.
Thank you again

I will remember this "In Line With Text" option. Thanks but may be this is
not concerned with Boomer.

Good thought, but even that won't do any good if the objects are In Line
with Text - the list will be blank.

Here I have one more good technique. In the Drawing Toolbar, here is a
button
called "Toolbar Options" used to Add / Remove button from the toolbar
(down
arrow shape), click this Button - chose Add / Remove Buttons - click
Drawings
- in the list select "Select Multiple Objects". A new button will be
added to
your drawing toolbar. Click this button and a list of all drawing
objects
available in your page will be listed. Select as you desire.

Hope this information help everyone, let us know!

Holding shift nd clicking on additional boxes doesn't work. Am having

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.

Cheers

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
2003.
