Data graphic - formatting text

[RobG]

I have created a number of data graphics with a certain font and
weight but now I want to change the font and weight for all of them.
Each data graphic is inside a shape, so I thought I could just select
all the shapes and life would be fine, but it isn't. I can change the
format of the shapes all I like and nothing changes for data graphic
displayed text.

I have to individually select each text field in each data graphic
(which requires 3 or 4 clicks, sometimes 5) and change them. Doing
that for several hundred text fields on each of 5 drawings is somewhat
tiresome.

That is clearly not a practical solution. Is there any way to change
the formatting of text in data graphics in bulk? I have tried the
data graphic palette but it has zero options for modifying the
formatting of text.

Thanks David, I'll give it a go. Hopefully I an also create a data
graphic with more than one data item on a line (why the hell do MS
force them to be on different lines?)
