Linking all text layers is misleading because YOU DO NOT NEED TO LINK ALL LAYERS for this to work. Of course, it doesn't hurt to do this, but it will be easier to Shift+Click on each text layer which you would like to change. Of course you must have the "Auto Select Layer" box in the top toolbar checked while you are in drag mode. 2. Where the hek is the signup for this place? Is this invite only or something? I would like to register a UN and PW but I couldn't find the function in this site if I was held at gunpoint. Any help would be appreciated. -Jonno I have 2 things to say:

As long as you are running PS CS4 and you have set the current tool to the text tool, the colors and other properties panel is active. It is not necessary to link the layers anymore.

Ctrl-click the next ones, or Shift-click the last one --- not the thumbnail, but the layer name. This will highlight all of these layers. Now you can change the Type attributes in the Type Tool Options bar at the top. Adding a Layer Style is not too much more difficult: Fix the Layer Style for one of the layers just as you want it. Right-click the layer name in the Layers palette. Choose Copy Layer Style. Highlight all of the other Type layers, by Ctrl-clicking each of them. Right-click one of these now selected layers and choose Paste Layer Style. Tada! This should do it for you quickly and painlessly. Have fun! Always me, Janee No one else has your vision.

I'm assuming you hold shift while clicking the checkmark to accept the text changes on the option bar? doesn’t seem to work in CS3 when the linked text layers are in different groups… grrr! unless someone else has an idea how to do it?

I use it when converting Fireworks files to Photoshop. Sometimes Fireworks converts typeface to Myriad for some reason. This was a great help, thanks!
