to a new cell?


YES!

a. Select the cell you wish to copy the colour from.

b. Go to the paint pot and change the colour of the cell you want to copy, you can change it to any colour.

c. At the very top of the window is the curved blue arrow which undoes the last thing you did. Click on this to revert to the cell back to the colour you want to copy.

d. This colour is now in short term memory. Go to the paint pot again, click on the arrow beside it and select 'more colours'. The colour you want to copy is now showing as current. Select 'OK' to add it to the short term paint chart.

d. You can now use the chart to copy your colour to other cells.
