Word - Format Painter

Have you ever applied formatting to text, got everything looking just how you want it and then needed to apply it to other text?

The Format Painter will become your best friend in situations like this. This feature will copy all formatting that has been applied to the selected text and apply it to any other text in your document – really useful if you’ve applied a lot of different formatting and can’t remember what you did.
 

Select the text that has the formatting you want to use. You don’t have to select all the text either – one word will be enough. The only time you would need to select an entire line or paragraph is when you’ve applied numbering or specific paragraph formatting.

Click the Format Painter icon on the Home ribbon.  

Select the text that you want to copy the formatting to.

Format Painter can also be used in Excel and Outlook and to copy formatting from one Word or Excel document to another.
