Copying text formatting

• This feature allows you to pick up the formatting that has been applied to one portion of text and apply that formatting to another portion of text.

• Click within the paragraph relating to ‘Copying text formatting’.  Click on the Format Painter icon (displayed on the Home tab within the Clipboard section).
  
            
  
  You will notice that the shape of your mouse pointer has changed.
  

• Move the mouse pointer to the start of a different paragraph within the document and while pressing the mouse key down drag to the end of that paragraph and then release the mouse button.  The formatting contained within the original paragraph is now copied to the second paragraph.  The mouse pointer now displays its original shape.
  
  TIP: If you double click over a paragraph that you want to copy text formatting from, then the mouse pointer changes shape until you press the Esc key.  This means that you can copy formatting to more than one portion of text at a time.
