Select the text or object whose formatting you want to copy.
2. On the Standard Bar, click the Format Paintbrush icon. The cursor changes to a paint bucket. If you want to apply the formatting to more than one selection, double-click the Format Paintbrush icon. After you apply all the formatting, click the icon again. 3. Select or click the text or object that you want to apply the formatting to. To exclude paragraph formatting, hold down Ctrl when you click. To exclude character formatting, hold down Ctrl+Shift when you click. ======== end quote There's a lot more there in the help too. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
