I've observed that pressing CTRL + A doesn't apply formatting to text boxes, even when changing text color or size for the whole document.
You can manually select all text boxes using the selection tool or keyboard shortcuts without needing a macro.

they moved it again. if you highlight the cells or the whole table, right-click and choose table properties. there’s a "cell" tab followed by an "options" button. clicking that reveals the wrap text option.

good news is, selecting it once keeps it active for every new table you create. you can also use the autofit right-click feature if you want to set specific cell sizes or other adjustments. however, wrap text remains enabled as long as you turn it on.

text boxes are actually handled like images and need to be formatted separately. I don’t know if there’s a way to change them all at once.
i rely on tables a lot, which can be adjusted as needed.
i’m pretty sure you won’t find a straightforward solution for what you’re trying to do.

You are allowed to adjust the format using templates, then alter the styles of headers and the content as needed.

Do you have a similar feature for wrapping content around tables, such as text boxes?

Text can be formatted into tables using the right-click menu options. Auto-sizing and even distribution of rows and columns are also available.

There is just one Wrap Text checkbox available to toggle on or off. The table top cannot be positioned behind or in front of text, and with text boxes there are various wrap options such as Square, Tight, Through, Top, Bottom, Behind Text, and In Front of Text.

that is accurate. it isn't meant for that purpose because it isn't a "picture" type item. you might need to work with text boxes instead, or look up a suitable plug-in that can handle it properly.
