Format Paintbrush

Greetings! One trick I love is using the format paintbrush. Let's say you have a paragraph (or simply a word) that is bulleted, indented, or formated in a special way--maybe you've played with bullets, fonts, etc. Now you want other paragraphs (or words) to look the same way.

First select the paragraph (or word or sentence) with the desired formatting. Then from the toolbar (you may have to use the little blue arrow at the far right to pull down more options), select the short, fat paintbrush icon. If you click it once, it will format just the next selection. (Then it turns itself off.) If you click it twice, you can make it "stick," and you can select several areas of new text, one after the other. When finished, click it again to "unstick" it. Have fun.
