Copy Formatting

You can save yourself some time by copying the formatting to other parts of the document using the format painter. Let's see how.

1. In Design View or Layout View, select the text that you want to copy the formatting from.
2. Click the Home tab.
3. Click the Format Painter button.

   The cursor changes to a paintbrush.

4. Click and drag the format paintbrush across the text you want to apply the formatting to.
   

Access applies the copied formatting to the text you selected.
