Copying Character Formatting

Often it is beneficial to copy character formatting from one place in your document to another. Word provides a shortcut for doing this:

1. Select the characters whose formatting you want to copy.
2. Click on the Format Painter tool.
3. Select the text you want formatted.

You can also copy the same format repeatedly by double clicking the Format Painter tool in step 2. You will then be able to apply the same formatting until you turn of format painting by clicking on the tool one more time.
