How to make effective use of this tool
RE: Format Painter
Hello Heather
Thank you for your question.
The Format Painter is a 'copy and paste' for formatting.
So for example if you have formatted a cell containing a number to have decimal places, a pounds sign and have added borders to the cell and you want another cell or cells containing numbers to look the same, you can use the format painter to copy the formats from one cell to others.
I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:Turn Function tooltips on and offExcel 2002 (XP) and Excel 2003 have the Function tooltips facility. When you type in a function name followed by a bracket, for example, =IF(, a yellow box appears beside the function name and lists the function's arguments. This is very useful when you can't quite remember the order of a function's arguments or what the arguments actually are! |
