Format Painter Changes Style Format
I am using the format painter to apply bulleted styles to text in a document.
I click on a paragraph with a bulleted style (Bullet1, for example) and "paste" that style to another paragraph that I want to have the Bullet1 style. When I do the "paste" the paragraph that I "paste" the style to gets the correct format, but the Bullet1 style changes and every other paragraph that has the Bullet1 style changes as well. Simple example - The Bullet1 style has a left indent of 0.45". Click format painter and apply it to another paragraph. Now the Bullet1 style has a left indent of 0.75" This seems to be a new problem in Office/Word 2003. Never had these problems in Office/Word 2000 |

Never had these problems in Office/Word 2000 is there a reason you're not applying the style itself? You need to do this one, then you may use F4 (repeat). Working with the format painter has always seemed a bit a hit or miss for me, exactly because I'm never really sure which part of "formatting" (direct, character style/paragraph style based, etc.) it is transporting at the moment. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |
