Multiple item format painter Jul 26, 2013 By Kate Hoelscher I thought I saw Tom Kuhlman using format painter to paint the format on multiple items at once. I can't figure out how or find it in the forums. It seems so simple--anyone? Thanks and happy Friday!
Rebecca Fleisch Cordeiro over 10 years ago07/26/13 at 6:31 am (UTC) Hi Kate, Do you mean he double-clicked on the format painter before selecting each targeted item? That is, If you single click the painter and then click a targeted item, you need to go back and click the format painter again and then the next item. But if you double-click the format painter you can select multiple consecutive items and "paint them." Not sure if that's quite what you're looking for but figured I'd throw it out there!
