    How to change all the text boxes at the same time

    Hi

    I have been sent a Word Document, created in Word 365, that has five pages with ten text boxes
    on each page, each has solid fill colour and identical text in the body of the text box.

    Unfortunately the text and colour are incorrect and I need to change them, but each will be the
    same changed text.

    Is there a way to do that to all the boxes at the same time.

    This will be done with Office 365, which I have not used before.

    I appreciate any advice.

    Thanks

    Daniel

    Unless the fill colour is the same, the changes will have to be made one at a time; otherwise you could select all the textboxes (select one, then hold down the Shift key while selecting the others) and change their colours together.
