Format Paintbrush in Office

Asked by Jim Hall

The icon for Format Paintbrush in Office is a mystery to me.

There are no listing in Office Help that explain its function, and I have tried to do something, anything, with it, but have had no luck so far.

What is the funcftion of Office Format Paintbrush and how do I use it?

From the OpenOffice help file, while in OpenOffice.org you can press the F1 key for help, or goto the menu item Help>OpenOffice.org Help

Copying Formatting With the Format Paintbrush
You can use the Format Paintbrush tool to copy formatting from a text selection or object and apply the formatting to another text selection or object.
1.Select the text or object whose formatting you want to copy.
2.On the Standard Bar, click the Format Paintbrush icon.
The cursor changes to a paint bucket.

If you want to apply the formatting to more than one selection, double-click the Format Paintbrush icon . After you apply all the formatting, click the icon again.

3.Select or click the text or object that you want to apply the formatting to.

To exclude paragraph formatting, hold down Ctrl when you click. To exclude character formatting, hold down Ctrl+Shift when you click.

Best Regards,
