Tech Tip – Format Painter

If you’re preparing a Word document in Windows 10 and you like the look of the formatting in one section and you’d like a quick and easy way to apply the same formatting to other sections, try using ‘Format Painter’.

You can find Format Painter on the top left of the screen – a paintbrush symbol. To use it :

– Highlight a paragraph in your document which has the formatting you like.

– Click on the Format Painter symbol.

– Click in the document next to the section you’d like to change to that formatting (you’ll see the paintbrush symbol appear) and highlight the new section.

– The formatting you like will automatically be applied.
