Is there a hotkey for Format Painter?
I use it all the time. A hotkey would be much easier than clicking on the
button.... |

Hi, Garry. Try this...I just tested it. Tools--Customize. Toolbars tab.
Click on the Format painter button and hit Modify. Change it from Default to Text Only, and put the & in front of the R instead of in front of the F. Now, you can use Alt+R to turn on the format painter. Escape to turn it off. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Garry" wrote in message ... I use it all the time.

Thanks Anne but that didn't work for me. It just highlighted the format
painter button when I pressed Alt+R. However it was still helpful because while modifying the button, it displayed it's secret hotkey combination! Ctrl+Shift+C !!! And, of course, Ctrl+Shift+V does the paint on the new selection. Thanks..... "Anne Troy" wrote: Hi, Garry. Try this...I just tested it. Tools--Customize. Toolbars tab.

Hi Garry,
There are two preassigned shortcut keys for the Format Painter. Ctrl+Shift+C copies the formatting. Ctrl+shift+v paints/pastes it. ========= "Garry" wrote in message ... I use it all the time.
