Applying attributes to whole text stories
When you have the cursor in a simple or column text object, pressing "Esc" will select the whole text
object. You can then apply an attribute, say a color, and the whole text object is altered. This is often
quicker than performing "Select all" ("Ctrl + A").
With text areas this method only works if all text areas of the story are selected. You can do this in the
Selector Tool
clicking and "Shift + clicking" on the different text areas to select them. But this method is only possible if
the text areas are on a single page. If your text story flows over several pages and you want to change all
the text, then it's necessary to "Select all" ("Ctrl + A"), and then apply the required attributes.
