    Default Problem with FHMX: Text Attributes

    I was wondering if anyone could help me. I use Freehand MX and OSX.
    I usually import a lot of text into Freehand, Select All, and change
    the Text Attributes in the Inspector. When I do this in Freehand MX,
    the inspector does not give me an option to change the text attributes
    for all the text at once (I mainly use the text squeeze function).
    It only gives me an option to change other elements on my document,
    such as lines.

    I have to select each individual text box and squeeze the text. This
    is very frustrating and slow procedure with the new inspector. Is
    their anyway to select All text in a document and squeeze it by 90% at
    once?

    Thanks alot.

    Default Re: Problem with FHMX: Text Attributes

    Try just selecting all the text in the document (and nothing else) by
    using the Graphic Find/Replace. Goto the Select tab and choose Font,
    then leave it at Any. Set the search to Document.
