Select and Change all Background Masks
« on: June 27, 2005, 04:10:43 PM »
To distinguish text from the images they are placed over, I like using background masks. . . however, I need to change the border offset factor for ALL of my text boxes at once.  I don't think there is a command to change the variable for background masks - perhaps there is a way to do this with a LISP.
