Using the Format Painter

Using the Format Painter can save you a lot of time by copying character or paragraph formatting from one portion of text to another.
To use it, click in the paragraph (or word) that is formatted the way you want. Then click on the Format Painter icon on the left side of the Home tab Ribbon. Click on the word you want to copy the formatting to, or for multiple words, drag and select all the text. To keep the Format Painter enabled, double-click on the Format Painter icon, and copy the formatting as many times as you want. When you’ve finished, click the format painter icon once again to de-select it.
