Copy and Paste Attributes for Text Transform

Hi, I'm trying to create a straightforward 'growing text' animation for my video captions.

 

I've upgraded captions to graphics. Then within the Text Transform Effect, I've had to manually centre the anchor point from (0.0 and 0.0) to (440.0 and 288.0), so the text grows from the centre point of origin.
Then I then added keyframes to Transform Scale from 0 - 100 for the first 5 frames, so the text grows at the beginning of the graphic. This creates the exact look that I want.

But, I want to be able to apply the same effect to all the other caption graphics.
However, Copy and Paste Attributes does not include Text Effects, so I've been having to manually apply this to every caption graphic.

Am I missing something? Is there a simple way to apply this effect to all at once?

Here my suggestion:
Select the graphic in the timeline, in the lower left corner of the Program Monitor click on the wireframe button to see the Transform controls in the Program Monitor. Position the Anchor Point this way instead (This is the same as doing it via the Effect Controls via Vector Motion or in the Properties panel via Transform). Then generate your Scale keyframes, also for Vector Motion/Transform for the entire graphic, not the layer.

Once you set this up for one graphic, use the Paste Attributes dialog to paste your Anchor Point and Scale values onto the other graphics.

Rather than keyframing the text layer's Transform settings, go to the Effects panel and add the Transform effect. Animate, then copy/paste it to other graphics.

Copy/paste the keyframes.
