Hi Graham,
Thanks for that idea... unfortunately it still didnt work.
I'm wondering if it's got something to do with me copying the text format
within a cell of a table (text is 4 lines deep, with different bold/non-bold
type and paragraph spacings) and applying it to a text within another cell of
the table. When i applied the format painter it changed the format of all
text to being bold and the same character spacing. Both the copied text and
the text whose format is being altered are 4 lines deep. All my cells in the
table are 4 lines deep and will be requiring the same format and just seeing
if there is an easy way to save tedious formating time
Maybe i'm asking something that just cant be done
Regards
Paul

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
