Default Format Painter Makes Unwanted Format Changes

Hi Tim,

I have not heard of such an issue before. Which version do you use?

You didn't mention the formatting change that was made to the paragraph you
copied the format from.
Even better would be some reproducible steps to see the problem.

Does the change occur on copying, or on pasting (as your description
suggests)?

Regards,
Klaus

I've got a very long document with many heading levels. When I try to use
the format painter to transfer the style of one heading to another, I get
an
unwanted change in format. First, I click on the heading that has the
format
that I want to copy, and then click the format painter icon on the tool
bar.
Sor far, so good.

Next, I click on the heading that I want to recieve the format. It gets
the
new format. So far, so good. Unfortuantely, the first heading that had
the format being copied is mysteriously changed to a new format.
Not good. To prevent this from happending, I've turned off all of the
autocorrect and autoformat things I can find, but the probelm persists.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help!
