Hi
I am new to OpenOffice.org.
In Impress the Format Paintbrush is not being activated when selecting
the text sample that should serve as a formatting model. In Write it
works fine! What might be going wrong here?
I am running OpenOffice.org v2.0.2 under XP.

That is because text in Impress is handled differently than in Writer.
But you are going to have to be much clearer in explaining what you are
doing.
First, some information about the text you are wanting to change the
style of: Is the text in a text box you created? Is it in a text box that
contained the phrase "Click to add an outline" before you added the text?
Second, some information about the text you are wanting to select as
your style. Is it in a text box which contained the phrase "Click to add
an outline" before you added the text?
There differences in how you use styles in Writer and Impress. That is
because Impress puts some restrictions upon how styles can be used.

As I am coming from (surprise) powerpoint I would have expected
paintbrush to be ubiquitous. Anyway, in the specific case both, the
model style to be copied and the text on which to apply it, are in the
same text box of type "Click to add an outline" and, as I said, the
paintbrush is not activated at all, i.e. its colour stays brownish.
