The Format Painter in Microsoft Word is a very useful tool for mimicking the formatting of a word or phrase that already exists in the document.
This tool allows users to very quickly copy the spacing, font styles, colors, and more from one place to another.
In order to use the Format Painter, simply highlight the text that is formatted as desired.
Click the Format Painter icon in the Home menu.
Using a single click of the Format Painter will allow you to highlight one additional sentence or section of text and it will update to the desired style. By double-clicking the Format Painter, the copied style can be applied to multiple words or areas. To turn off the Format Painter after double clicking, you can simply click the icon again to turn it off.
The Format Painter not only works on text, but it also can work on certain types of drawings or graphics.
