Copying and pasting styles

You can copy the style of a section of text and apply the style to other text. Only the style of the selected text changes; the selected word or phrase remains the same.

To copy and paste a style:

  1. Select the text whose style you want to copy.

  2. Choose Format > Font > Copy Style.

  3. Select the text you want to restyle.

  4. Choose Format > Font > Paste Style.

You can also make copied text match the style of the text in the place where you paste it. Select and copy the text, and then choose Edit > “Paste and Match Style.” The pasted text loses its original style and takes on the style of surrounding text.
