How to use the format painter

The format painter allows you to copy easily the formatting (font size, color, effect etc.) from one piece of text to another. It can be a big time saver.

The steps for using it:
1. Select the formatted text (or you can just right click it, to bring the mini toolbar).
2. Click the format painter button.
3. Select ("paint") the destination text to be formatted.

If you wish to use the format painter repeatedly (eg. applying the selected format again and again to more pieces of text), double click the format painter button (instead of a regular single click). This will keep the painter button pressed, until releasing it by clicking it once again).
