Need several text box templates

Hi,
Am making a catalog over 80 pages. I love this program.
My concern is with text boxes.
I have a general text box template that is used for each new page. Works fine.
But within that page is another text box or several that is filled in with
color for emphasis. Not used on all pages but is a "subcategory" text box.
Used as needed.
I need to change the color and realize there is no way to make an
acros-the-board-change. Or is there?
So the first question is:
1) Can I change the format (fill-in) text boxes that are inside a text box
all at once?
2) Can I make a template for a subcategory of text boxes that.
In other words can i have a textbox template#1, textbox template #2, etc?
Thanks!
Regards,

If you have used a color scheme, you can change the colors all at once. Read the
section in the help. It is not too late to do it with this publication...

In addition to Mary's reply, you can also add preformatted text boxes to
your Design Gallery Object dialog under the My Objects tab.
