Edit multiple shape sheets at once?

[Duckpuddle]

I've got a bunch of shapes on a Visio 2007 page.  The are all very similar rectangles but each is a different size.   I can open up each shape's shapesheet and set the width and height to be a common value.  But this is tedious with the 10s of shapes that I'm dealing with.


Is there any way that I can select multiple shapes and update a shared property to the same value?  I thinking of the technique that is available in MS Access form design to update the properties of selected controls

Thanks bunches.

Your special example requires only to switch the size & position window on. There you can set the width, height and position of one or several shapes at once. Same for colour, line weight, etc. and even custom properties.
But the properties that are only visible in the shape sheet can't. You'd need to code.

That's magic!

I just found the pan and zoom window this week, and now you have showed me the light regarding the size and shape window.

What a nice Friday afternoon discovery.  Thanks!
