A new feature: weekly tech tip

17/11/2008 send to a friend
In another sign to mark Enterprise Week, we’re launching a new little feature on the site. We’ve got together with Bite Size Learning, the company that offers bite size chunks of online learning in all things IT, to bring you a small and weekly technology tip. In this first week it’s about the Format Painter.
Format Painter
Format Painter is possibly one of the most useful options in MS Office - worth its weight in gold.
The feature enables you to copy the formatting attributes of text e.g. font style, size, position and apply them to text somewhere else. A real time-saver.
Here’s how:
- Select the text whose formatting attributes you wish to copy
- Click on the Format Painter toolbar icon (a paint brush)
- Next select the text to which you would like to apply the same formatting to. This will only work once.
If you would like to apply the same formatting to more than one area of text simply double-click on the Format Painter toolbar icon and you can carry on applying the same formatting to different pieces of text as many times as you like until you click once on the Format Painter toolbar icon again
- To apply formatting to an entire paragraph click to the left of the paragraph
- You can also cancel the format painter by tapping the ESCAPE key
With this little tool, you can paint away ‘til your heart’s content!
