If you place the insertion point in a paragraph or select full paragraphs, text boxes, or shapes, existing paragraph or character styles are replaced with what you paste. Select other text where you want to apply the style, or place the insertion point in text, then choose Format > Paste Style. That includes any paragraph style, character style, and style overrides applied to that text.Ĭhoose Format > Copy Style (from the Format menu at the top of your screen).

Everything that you would see if you were to begin typing at the insertion point is copied. Place the insertion point in the text with the style you want to copy. Select carefully-if the first character in your selection is a white space, the text where you paste the style is replaced by white space. The style of the first character in the text selection is what’s copied. Select the text with the style you want to copy. You can copy just the style of selected text and apply that style to other text.
