Format painter
I am trying to use format painter to copy text and shading of cells in a
table and apply this same shading (text is the same) to other cells. It does not seem to work. I select the cell w/ shading, click on the format painter, then select the cell(s) that I want to shade. Nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. |

As far as I know, the Format Painter can only be used with text formatting
and, to a certain extent, with graphics. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "nkb" wrote in message ...

But, when I looked at the MS tutorial, the Format Painter changed a row from
no shading to color shading and a different font. Hmmm...

Stefan, after watching it again, it appears that it won't copy shading from
one cell to another in a table. It was only a heading w/ a top and bottom border w/ shading that was copied w/ the format painter. And cells in Excel. Sorry for my confusion.

Format painter
Thanks so much, Stefan. It seems logical that if they can program the format
painter to copy shading in Excel and in a heading w/ border, that it should be able to copy shading in a table cell, too, right? Oh well. What do I know? You've been so helpful - are you reachable via email or just through the MS community question "bank?" Thanks again!

... Thanks so much, Stefan. You are welcome. It seems logical that if they can program the format painter to copy shading in Excel and in a heading w/ border, that it should be able to copy shading in a table cell, too, right? Logic isn't necessarily a factor in word processing. :-) Oh well. What do I know? You've been so helpful - are you reachable via email or just through the MS community question "bank?" Thanks again! I don't regularly answer private emails on Word, if that's what you are asking. I wouldn't have time to do that. Occasionally, though, I may offer to take a look at a possibly corrupt file. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote: I was just about to reply, "The example from Word is not a table, just paragraph formatting." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "nkb" wrote in message ...
