Subject: global text box changes in Excel
I've downloaded a 12-month-on-1-page 2006 calendar into Excel.  Each
individual date is its own text box.  I would like to increase the size of
the font for every text box.  Is there a way to do it globally or do I have
to change each text box individually?

Try a macro like the following

Sub IncreaseFont()
Dim OLEObj As OLEObject
For Each OLEObj In Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects
    With OLEObj
        If TypeOf .Object Is MSForms.TextBox Then
            .Object.Font.Size = 16 ' whatever font size you want
        End If
    End With
Next OLEObj
End Sub

Most of the Calendars from the Template Gallery have the day numbers
inside
individual Text Boxes.

You can manually select these one by one and change the font size or
use a macro to cycle through each box.

For the 2006 12 month per page calendar this code will work.

Sub Change_Font()
    Columns("B:H").Select
    ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Select
     For Each TextBox In Selection
     With TextBox.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=2).Font
        .Name = "Comic Sans MS"
        .FontStyle = "Regular"
        .Size = 14
        .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
        End With
    Next
    Range("E3").Select
End Sub
