Change multiple text layers at the same time

[Rich_Carroll@adobeforums.com]

I can't find the shortcut to change multiple text layers at the same time.
Let's say I have 10 layers that all use Arial 14pt, how do I change them all to Arial 12pt quickly?
I thought there was a keyboard command, but I can't find it.

Check the rest of the "Photoshop Lounge Resource Repository" threads while you're at it.

Good info lives there.

Link all text layers. Hold down the shift key then click on the Text tool and make changes. They should reflect in all the linked Text layers.

Oh, hey...good one, Linda!

Thanks for the info, but I wasn't able for the life of me to make this work. Turns out that you have to make the edit on the character pallette, not the toolbar in order for it to effect the other linked layers.
Once I did that it was fine.
Can someone confirm this behavior, and post this as a bug? Although we purchased several thousand seats, Adobe still wants us to pay a incident fee to report any problems or bugs.

Linda's method works for me in CS -- but you MUST hold down the Shift key.
And it works whether you use the Options bar or the Character palette.
