The Format Painter button in OpenOffice allows users to quickly copy formatting from one part of a document and apply it to another. By selecting the text with the desired formatting and clicking the Format Painter, users can then click on the target text to transfer the formatting styles, such as font, color, and paragraph alignment. This tool enhances efficiency by eliminating the need to manually adjust formatting for multiple sections of text.
No. It only copies the formatting. It does not copy content.
After you paste your text into the new cell, before you click away from it there should be a small picture of a clipboard that pops up next to the pasted text. When you click on that it will give you the different formatting options.
In many word processing applications, the "Format Painter" button can be used to copy and paste paragraph formats. This tool allows users to select a formatted paragraph, click the Format Painter, and then apply the same formatting to another paragraph. Typically, the Format Painter icon looks like a paintbrush. Users can double-click the Format Painter to apply the formatting to multiple paragraphs consecutively.
The Format Painter. You can also use Paste Special and choose just to paste the formatting.
You may be referring to the format painter button, which has a little paintbrush on it. What it does is take the formatting from one cell or a set of cells, and applies it to other cells. So if you do something like put a number into a cell, bold it, colour the cell red, format the number to 2 decimal places and change the font size, that cell will have that formatting. To do the same for other cells may take some time. So what you can do is first select that cell and click on the format painter button. Then you would select a range of cells that you want to apply that formatting to. It will immediately format all the cells to be the same as the original one. It won't change any numbers or formulas in those cells, just change the formatting. So it is painting the formatting of one cell onto other cells.

The button that you can use to apply multiple formatting style to selected cell is called format painter (the icon is a little brush on the "standard" toolbar). The way it works is as follows: 1/ select an area of the spreadsheet that already have the formatting that you want to use. 2/ click on the format painter button on the standard toolbar. 3/ select the area of the spreadsheet where you want to copy the formatting. That's all. Note that if you want to apply the same formatting in several places, you can double click on the format painter button in step 2/ instead of a single click. Then you can do step 3/ several times. When you are finished, click again on the format painter button to deactivate it.
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.
Clicking the Format Painter once allows you to copy the formatting of a single item and then apply it to another item. After applying, the Format Painter deactivates. Clicking it twice, however, enables you to apply the same formatting to multiple items consecutively without needing to re-click the Format Painter each time. This is useful for quickly formatting several elements in a document or spreadsheet.
Formatting destroys all data.
To copy the format of a cell in Excel without copying the contents, you can use the "Format Painter" tool. Select the cell with the desired format, click on the "Format Painter" button in the toolbar, and then click on the cell where you want to apply the format. This will copy the formatting without changing the contents of the cell.
