Back in June I dusted off an oldie but a goodie: the "format painter". It told you how to copy the text formatting from one area of a document and apply it to another area using the Format Painter button (see tip_343.php) following which one of the tip subscribers emailed this wonderful keyboard shortcut. (Thanks, Maarten!)
Here's how:
As you may remember from one of the earlier tips: F4 repeats the last action you performed so to quickly apply the text format to another area, simply select the area and press F4.
By the way, I cannot get the format painter shortcut to work in Excel so you'll have to use your mouse or have another look at last week's tip and create a little macro. (See tip_351.php)
