Default How to apply existing paragraph format to a different paragraph

In prior versions of Word I could select a paragraph, then click the little
paintbrush icon, then select another paragraph and the format of the first
paragraph would be applied to the newly selected one. I can't figure out how
to do that in the 2007 version. Can we do that now?

You can use Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V to copy and paste formats.

The format painter icon is on the Home tab - in the Clipboard group at the
left.
