Default How do I use the Format Painter button ?

FWIW, I find Copy Format (Ctrl+Shift+C) and Paste Format (Ctrl+Shift+V) more
useful, not least because the copied format remains available for pasting
indefinitely (until you copy a different format), allowing you to perform
other operations in between formatting.

I have never had any luck using the format painter in Word (2000). The
Painter works well in Excel, but (for instance) if I format a cell in a
table a certain way (colour, centred, bold say) select the cell, click the
painter, and then click a new cell - nothing..... no format copying,
nothing.

Am I missing something ?

Regards

Rob Lepper
