Tips

• Test your changes on a single slide before applying them presentation-wide
• Save your presentation before making bulk changes
• Monitor the RESULT counter to see how many objects will be affected
• Start with broader search criteria and narrow down if needed
• Add frequently used search criteria to "favorite criteria" for quick access
• When selecting a grouped object, choose whether to use the highlighted shape or select a different element
• Your change properties can be different from your search properties
