Copy Format

Zaphod Beebledoc · April 6th, 2014, 04:15 PM

It would be useful to have a Copy Format button, much like the one that Office and Open Office use.

I've got a few Articles that I want to bold and increase the size of some of the snippets to make them into section headings.

I've done a quick search of the forum, and can't see anything.

You mean something like this:

You have a piece of text with just the right settings (size, colour, boldness).
You select a tool and right-click on the text.
You move the tool to some text elsewhere and left-click.
The first formatting is now applied to the text clicked on.

That would indeed be a nice feature.

I use it with Office from time to time and it's a very handy feature to have when needed. There's already been a time or two when I wished that I had it in RW.

Paragraph styles would be my preferred way of handling these. In word I have shortcuts set up to quickly choose the correct style for each paragraph.

That would be useful as well!
