Default copying format of selected text and pasting on existing text

Do I understand that you are trying to paste a format to other text and not
the text itself? For that you can use the format painter.

Hi Luc,
Thanks for your reply but i seem to be having some difficulty in
finding this copy+paste format button (i'm assuming that this is one
button?) in Windows Vista. When i select Paste Special, the options
provided relate to pasting the words that were copied (with or
without format). I must be missing something...
Cheers
Paul

Pazz,
You can use the copy+paste format button on the standard toolbar
(left of the undo button). Select the formatted text, double click
the button, paste the format on selected text repeat as many times
as you will, click on the button again to stop the process.
Or you could create a style in the format and styles task pane, and
apply that on selected text.

I'm struggling to work out how to copy a format of selected text in
Word 2007
and pasting the format (only) on existing text - all within a
table. The function is quite simple in Excel (ie. Paste Special)
but i've never been able to do it in Word and it's very time
consuming to do it individually if u
have a big table
Thanks
Paul
