Getting Started with Word Animation Tutorial 114: Using Format brushes

The Format Painter is located on the Formatting toolbar, which is fairly well recognized as a "brush". With its "brush" format, you can quickly apply the formatting of a specified paragraph or text to other paragraphs or text so that we don't suffer from duplicate settings.

Copy text Format

1. Select the text you want to refer to in the format.

2. Click the Format Painter button on the Formatting toolbar, at which point the mouse pointer appears as "I" escribed a brush pattern.

3. Press and hold the left key (that is, drag and choose) the text to apply the new format.

Second, copy paragraph format

1. Select the entire paragraph in which you want to refer to the format (you may not include the last paragraph mark), or position the insertion point within this paragraph, or select only the paragraph mark at the end of the paragraph.

2. Click the Format Painter button on the Formatting toolbar.

3. Click in the paragraph that applies the paragraph format, and if you want to copy both paragraph and text formatting, you can drag the entire paragraph (excluding the last paragraph mark).

Tips:

1. Click the Format Painter button, and once you use it, the button will automatically bounce, you cannot continue using it, or you can double-click the Format Painter button if you want to use it more than once. To stop using, press the ESC key on your keyboard, or click the Format Painter button again. Perform other commands or actions, such as copy, or you can automatically stop using the Format Painter.

2. Key combinations in copy format: Ctrl+shift+c, Ctrl+shift+v. And Ctrl+shift+v also has a feature that, as long as you have copied a format, you can use this shortcut repeatedly to apply this format to other paragraphs or text, not affected by other operations in between, until a new format is copied.

3. Using the above methods, you can format replication between different Word documents.

The animation of the specific operation process is as follows:
