All Smart Shapes Selection in a document

Hi! I would like to know if there is any method to select all the smart shapes in the whole document. I cannot find it! CTRL A just makes a selection of the page but not of the entire document. I just want to flip all the slurs in a document in one clic and I cannot find how to select them all!

Could you help me? Is there any way?
I'm using Finale 2010

THANKS!!

If you select any of the SmartShape tools, a selection box appears at all of them. Then, CTRL+A will select them all.

Have you tried to make the selection in scroll view ?

Thank you both, but it doesn't work. CTRL A makes a selection only of what I can see on my screen, either in Page View or in Scroll View! Any other idea?

Back out the view until you can see more. If it's a huge piece, you might have to do this in sections. That's for your protection, so you don't accidentally change something you didn't intend to change, because it's hidden.

Thanks a lot Miker, I already did it this way, but it's a little frustrating. It could be nice when you could select every smart shape and apply changes from the Change menu.
