What is the Format Painter?

Those who prefer to do simple Word documents might not be the heaviest Style users. If you'd like to reuse styles you're already created in a document, the Format Painter is an excellent tool. In order to apply a paragraph style from one paragraph to another one: first put the cursor somewhere in the styled paragraph, then click the Format Painter (Ctrl + Shift + C).

Click the paragraph where you'd like to apply the style. If you'd like to apply the style to multiple paragraphs, just double-click the Formet Painter. Then click in every subsequent paragraph in order to apply this same style.
