Using the Format Painter

This PowerPoint is part of our 60 second tips series

If you need to copy the format from one area of your document or spreadsheet to another, then using the Format Painter is the simplest way.

The Format Painter is on the Home ribbon.First, choose the format you want to copy by clicking that area of the document or spreadsheet. Then select the Format Painter.

Your cursor will change to this icon.

Drag the icon over the text you wish to change, then let go of your mouse button. If you double-click the Format Painter the painter will stay on until you press the escape key (Esc) on your keyboard or click the icon once more.

The Format Painter works on all parts of your documents including Heading Styles and Picture Borders.
