The Format Painter takes the formatting from one piece of text or item and pastes it onto something else you select. This is handy when you have a combination of formats on something and want to apply them to another item, without having to do them individually.

To use it:

  1. Put the cursor in the text you want to copy the format of.
  2. Click on the Format Painter icon on the Formatting Toolbar.
  3. Click into or select the text that you want to copy the formatting to.
