Line width question; Freehand MX

Question

Is it possible to change the line width of all lines in a
document?
I go to Edit > Select > All In Document.
I go to the Properties box and on the Object tab I try to
click Stroke.---, but it is not active.
Thanks for the help.

First, let's get the terminology straight. Strokes (not
lines) can be
applied to paths.
Find & Replace Stroke Width will only replace stroke
widths on objects that
are already stroked. It won't add strokes to non-stroked
objects.
A Hairline stroke is 0.25 pt. wide. If you selected Hairline
as the low end
of the selection range, then strokes smaller than 0.25 pt.
will not be
affected.
Compared with FH9, FHMX adds group-level attributes, so to
stroke every
object at the path level, you will need to Select All and
then Subselect
until you have reached the path level. I have set up a custom
keyboard
shortcut for Edit>Select>Subselect. That allows me to
drill down below group
level.
FH users also need to be aware that groups that have been
scaled after
'Transform as Unit' (TAU) is applied will scale the strokes
according to the
subsequent transformations. If you have unwittingly applied
TAU to groups
you may not see the changes you expect from Find &
Replace Stroke width. I
have unchecked the preference "Groups Transform as Unit by
Default' and use
the Transform as Unit checkbox in the object panel only when
required.
