Tip: If you click the Format Painter button, the text format of the format brush record can only be copied once, which is not conducive to multiple copies of the same format.

Step 2nd, move the mouse pointer to the Word document text area, and the mouse pointer changes to a brush shape. Press and hold the left mouse button to select the text that you want to format, the text that is being brushed will be applied to the copied format. Release the left mouse button and drag the other text again to achieve multiple copies of the same format, as shown in Figure 2010092912.
