Anything similar to FormatPainter?
Hi, I do not have much experience with Framemaker and would like to know if there is a feature similar to Format Painter in MS Word, basically to copy the character/paragraph format of one entity to another.

Re: Anything similar to FormatPainter?
Nidhi, The quick and simple answer is that the function you are looking for can be found in the Edit menu: Edit Copy Special Paragraph Format Edit Copy Special Character Format The longer answer, IMO, depends on what you're doing with the function. Are you propagating named formats from the catalogue or are you propagating formatting overrides? If propagating formatting overrides, you simply shouldn't be. If you intent is to have consistent formatting, the definitions belong in the Paragraph and Character Catalogues as named formats. Then, there is no need to use Copy Special. Just use the catalogues, the formatting bar, or F9 to apply formats in your documents. Personally, I use the Copy Special mostly when changing paragraphs from one named format to another using the Find dialog set to Find Paragraph Tag and replace set to By Pasting. But, I will use it to propagate new named paragraph formats. Character formatting should NEVER be propagated using Copy Special as the formatting from the insertion point is copied and not just the character tag formatting. Eric L.
