To copy formatting from one object or piece of text and then apply elsewhere
The Format Painter is a highly efficient tool found in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Its purpose is to save time by allowing you to "copy" the look—such as font style, size, color, and borders—of a specific piece of text or an object and "paste" that exact same formatting onto another piece of text or object.
