Selecting Multiple Components in OrCAD Capture

Hi,

If I have, as example, 4 or 5 (or more) components on different schematic pages, how does one first FIND selected parts, then have one place to edited their properties.  This is very useful if you are tasked with updating some existing schematic design and with existing reference designators, but those parts are now different in value and need their database updated.  I know if you are on one page, you can do the usual hold the cntrl key while selecting different components, then right clicking the mouse to get to the properties page...great!  However, when those components are only different pages and not clearly in eyesight on the computer screen, this becomes problematic.  Also, the parts Browser is not much more helpful as the entries are in the a direction (left-to-right entries) which is not easy to edit like the edit property window is for multiple components.

How does one get the same effect as a single page mutiple component selection with components using the strl key and mouse selection on different pages with the same editing as available with the properties editing window?  BTW, this is for SPB 17.20.058.
