Okay we’re in module 3 where we’re talking about character formatting and we’re all the way down on section 5 where I want to talk to you real quick about the Format Painter.
Format Painter is going to be one of your best friends in any program that you work in because it’s going to allow you to copy the formatting, not the text or the numbers. So let me show you how this works.

When we were in section 4 we had gone through and talked about some of the character formatting options and we actually played with our title a little bit. If I wanted to actually make Who We Are look just like my title as far as the formatting I don’t really remember everything I picked. I might could go through and try to replicate it but it’s much easier just to copy the formatting from the title to our subtitle. So let me show you how that’s going to work.
I’m going to select the title and I’m going to use this button here that says Format Painter. And notice when I do that that now my mouse has a little paintbrush attached to it. So be careful where you click because where you click that’s where it’s going to copy it to. So all I’m going to do is get out in the left and I’m going to select Who We Are and you’ll see a copy of the format exactly. Isn’t that cool?

Now I’d like to do the same thing with Buying a Home, Selling a Home because those are little subtopics as well. I’m going to go back and select Who We Are. I’m going to turn on the Format Painter and I’m going to click on Buying a Home. Now here’s the thing. Did you notice that it’s now turned off? Once I pasted my formatting in then I have to go through and go through the whole process again. Here’s a little trick that will help you out. So I’m going to scroll down a little bit. When you’re first turning on the Format Painter double click it and that way it will stay on until you turn it off. See? And all you’d have to do to turn it off is either hit Escape on your keyboard or you can go back and click on Format Painter.

You’re going to love Format Painter. Just remember that it’s there and the double clicking is going to make it stay on until you turn it off.

Let’s go ahead and head over to section 6 and talk a little bit about working with numbers.
