Hi all,
I was a bit behind with mail, but picked this one up.

The wizard created the document, but all of the text was in Times New

so I thought, heck just do "Edit|Select All| and change all of the fonts
to Arial 8 or 10 point. As it turns out, each label is a separate
*frame* and "Select All" only selects the text in the first frame (as
would be expected in a frame). Therefore you can't just simply Select
All and change the fonts in the other labels, or have the change ripple
through the other labels as in the Mail Merge macro... you have to
change each frame individually.
Perhaps you should just change the styles. Much easier than hard formatting.
BTW: Hitting CTRL-A twice will select the whole document.
Ciao,

Yes, I've figured out how to select the whole document (all frames on
the page). So next I go into the character styles and create a new
style: Label. Set that font as (example) Arial 8 point. How do I go
about changing the text in *all of the frames* to that style at once as
I do in tables?
A suggestion that I didn't see:
When creating new labels (File|New|Labels),
on the third tab (options) there's the checkbox 'synchonize contents'.
When that is checked on creating the labels, there will be a little
toolbar active in the label document: 'Synchonize labels'.
How to use:
Change somthing in the first label (frame),
hit the button, and all labels are adapted.
Something you have to know, indeed.
I do not know why I not should check the checkbox 'synchonize contents'.
AFAIK, the toolbar doesn't do any harm, when not used. So one could
wonder: why not make the function 'Synchonize labels' avaiable by
default / always?
