I am trying to copy the states and format from one button to numerous others in a project. When I use the format painter it copies all the formatting (color, font, etc.) of the button, but not the states. Is there something else I need to do to copy the button states?
Thanks Phil. I thought I was doing that, but may not have been. Was trying it again and it was now working. One other quick question. If I have changed states on the original button (deleted some and created custom states), should it also apply those to the buttons I click with the format painter? I had deleted some unused states on the original button and noticed when I format painted the new buttons the new buttons still kept those unused states.

Make sure you have clicked on the object rather than the objects contents (this will bring across the text format only), otherwise is should just work

Thanks Phil. I thought i was going nuts.
I come back to this post almost every time I try to copy states.
