1. If I cast exchange of words targeting a creature with soulbond that is bonded with a creature my opponent controls and a token with with no text box that I control, what would be the result?
2. Refering to question one: If I cast exchange of words targeting the bonded creature, in the above example instead, and a token with no text box that I control, what would be the result?
3. I activate a transform ability on creature A, hold priority and cast exchange of words targeting creature B that also has a transform ability and creature A, what would be the end result?
4. Refering to question three: Could I transform creature B by activating creature A's text box which is now on creature B?
Card tags fixed. Rather than just brackets, you need to type [c] to the left and [/c] to the right of the card name, or you can select the card name and then click the button representing a single Magic card in the toolbar, which will generate the tags for you. Thank you!

Exchange of words doesn't interact with gained abilities.
1. If a creature loses the soulbond ability for any reason. This doesn't effect its paired status. Further, a creature gaining the ability soulbond does not immediately pair it with another creature.
2. Being soulbonded doesn't significanntly interact with Exchange of Words. It has no effect on a creature's paired status.
3. Exchange of words looks like a static ability that is constantly updating. But it isn't. When it resolves it copies the two creatures' text boxes and overwrites their existing text box. So obtaining a new or different text box via transforming has no effect as they are overwritten by the copies made by exchange of words.
4. Yes, but as mentioned it won't have much of an effect. The card transforms but retains the copied text box. Other changes still occur.
1. If the creature with soul bond gives an ability when bonded to another creature, they both lose the ability once text box is swapped?
2. Will the token have the ability from the bond?
3 and 4. Is the transformed side changed by exchange of words or is it only the front side?

1. Depends on specifics. Typically yes but I haven't looked at all soulbound abilities.
2. No, misread ealier Edited
3 & 4 The side that is showing is the result of Exchange of Words. Regardless of its transform state. You can flip back and forth and the text box will stay whatever was given by Exchange of Words.
