  1. Repeat step 11 to change the font size of the FirstName label to 8 points.


You have now made changes to three controls on this form.

You have applied character formatting to the CustomerID label and text box control, and to
the FirstName label.

These different ways of selecting a control and changing its properties provide some
flexibility and convenience, but it would be a tedious way to make changes to several
controls in a form. The next two steps provide a faster method.


  1. In the upper-left corner of the dotted frame surrounding all the controls on the
    form, click the Select All button.
    All the controls within the dotted frame are now surrounded by thick orange
    borders to indicate that they are selected. In the Property Sheet, the selection
    type is Multiple selection, and the box below is blank. Only the Format settings
    that are the same for all the selected controls are displayed. Because the changes
    you made in the previous steps are not shared by all the selected controls, the
    Font Size and Font Weight settings are now blank.
