More fun with SSRS

One of the nice things about Visual Studio is that you can set a default font for the controls and then as you drag them onto the form, the font is applied.

But what happens when you later want to adjust the default font size for the entire page, for instance?
Changes to the default do not flow down to the existing controls (Hint to MS, this would be a awesome feature to add!)

To handle this, you can open the report and choose View > Code, then do a find/replace on the elements I am targeting.  Don't try to scroll down and find the elements, since they are not necessarily listed in any logical order.

Someone should write a mass re-formatting tool for SRS that uses regex to find certain nodes and alter the structure for the new version.
