Formatting Text

Is there a quick way of copying all formatting from one piece of text to another?

Edited on Mon 3 Dec 2007, 11:22

RE: Formatting Text

Yes there is a quick way.

1) Highlight text that has the formatting attributes that you wish to copy to another piece of text.

2) Click on the Format Painter icon on the Formatting toolbar.

3) Select the text that you wish to apply the formatting to and the formatting attributes will be applied.

If you want to apply the formatting attributes to several pieces of text:

1) Double click on the Format Painter icon on the Formatting toolbar.

2) Select the text that you wish to apply the formatting to and the formatting attributes will be applied.

3) Repeat point 2) above as many times as required.

4) To turn off Format Painter, either press ESC or click the Format Painter icon once on toolbar.

Word tip:

Type Out a Table

Tables can be created by simply typing out a string of PLUS SIGNS (+) and MINUS SIGNS (-).

First start the row with a PLUS SIGN (+) and then type MINUS SIGN (-) until you have the column width you want. To add a new column type PLUS SIGN (+) again. When you're done type a final PLUS SIGN (+) and press ENTER.

Word turns your text into a table. To add more rows to your table, move to the last cell in the table and press TAB.

Ensure to turn on the AutoFormat feature in Word.
That is, on the Tools > AutoCorrect menu. Select the AutoFormat As You Type tab and select the Tables check box.
