Apply Formatting in Word 2010
In this chapter, we will discuss how to copy and apply formatting in Word 2010. If you already have a well formatted portion of text and you want to apply similar formatting to another portion of text, then Microsoft Word provides a feature to copy and apply a format from one portion of text to another portion of text. This is very useful and a time saving operation.
Copy and Apply of text formatting works for various text attributes; for example, text fonts, text colors, margins, headings, etc.
Copy and Apply Text Formatting
The following steps will help you understand how to copy and apply text formatting from one portion of text in your document to another portion of text in your document.
Step 1 − Select the portion of text containing the formatting that you want to copy. I have selected a text which has bold and underpned font as shown below.
Step 2 − cpck the Home tab and cpck the Format Painter button to copy the format of the selected text. As soon as you cpck the format painter button, the mouse pointer changes to a paint brush when you move the mouse over your document.
Step 3 − Now you are ready to apply the copied text format to any of the selected text. So select a text using mouse where you want to apply the copied text format. While selecting a portion of text, you have to make sure that your mouse pointer is still in paint brush shape. After selecting the text, just release the right-cpck button of the mouse and you will see that newly selected text is changed to the format used for the original selection. You can cpck anywhere outside the selection to continue working on your document for further editing.
Copy and Apply Text Formatting multiple times
Step 1 − If you are intended to apply formatting at multiple places, then you will have to double-cpck the Format Painter button while copying the text format. Later on, you just keep selecting the text where you want to apply the text formatting.
Step 2 − When you are done with applying formatting at all the places, cpck Format Painter to come out of the format applying operation.
