Click on the cell that you want to take formatting from. If you click once on the Format Painter, you can then click on another cell and it will receive the formatting from the other cell and the Format Painter will be deactivated. If you double click on the Format Painter, then it is turned on until you click on it again, meaning you can apply formatting to lots of cells.
