Multisim's Spreadsheet View is a great tool to set/change various parameters for multiple components at once.
This is what you need to do in order to assign the same footprint to multiple/all resistors:
- Open Spreadsheet View (menu view > Spreadsheet View)
- Select the Components tab
- Click on the column header RefDes and click on Sort Ascending (A->Z)
- Select all resistors (click on the first resistor press Shift and click on the last resistor in the column)
- Scroll to the right an click in any of the select rows in the column Footprint
- The Select Footprint dialog appears.
- The footprint you select will be assigned to all selected resistors
- Resistors will turn from black (virtual) to blue (real) in your schematic
