There used to be a text format (.fmt) of Forms modules that you could do mass updates on but in the later versions I don't think saving as .fmt is available. Oracle may also reserve the right not to support you if you fiddle around with the files.

You may not be able to reduce the time and people needed this time, but prepare for the next time and make the changes using visual attributes/property classes subclassed from a library form or object library.
