>>If you want to change any property(ies) that several objects have in common to the same setting, you can do a multiple select (either select a block of objects or hold down Shift while you click on each one individually), and then view/adjust the properites.

Pages and pageframes both have a method called Setall that can change properties of all the controls or all of one class of controls that they contain during runtime, but I don't know of any way to do that in the form designer without just selecting them. If you really think that takes too long, maybe you could use a subclass that has the desired settings instead of changing them in each instance?
