For details see >help >https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Copying_Attributes_With_the_Format_Paintbrush Thank you. Apparently there has been a change between the previous version and 4.1.3.2. In the past it applied all formatting; now it applies only character formatting unless you hold down Ctrl. I'm not sure I like this change, because I only ever use it to apply paragraph formatting and now I have to remember to hold down Ctrl. It's probably a good thing to separate character formatting from paragraph formatting, but paragraph formatting is the far more common use of format paintbrush, so that should have been the default, not character formatting. Oh well. At least I know it's not a bug. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
