Writing the same text into all selected objects

Question

example; I want to select five hundred square objects and put the letter "A" into each of them in a single operation. Is there a short way to do this?

I found a script that may work for you.

I created a symbol then drew a bunch of rectangles. I selected the rectangles then ran the script. It replaced each rectangle with an instance of the symbol.
