INTRODUCTION
If you have taken the time to format your text just so, you might want to apply those same formatting options to other text. Instead of repeating each step in the format process on the new text, use the Format Painter button.
TIP
Removing Text Formatting
To quickly remove any text formatting, select the text you want to return to its default settings; then open the Edit menu and select Clear, Formats.
