 Hello everyone, this is Ahmed Dan of AhmedDan.com. If this is your first time here, thank you for your support. On this channel, I'm always trying new and different ideas. If this is something you're interested in, visit again for more. If you're only interested in tutorial videos, there are more links in the description box below. When you write and edit in a web processor like Microsoft Word, you may need to copy formatting from a text, sentence, or a full section or paragraph to another part of the document. In this video today, I'll show you how you can easily copy and apply formatting in your Word document. So basically, I'm going to show you three separate ways how to do that. The first two methods are comparatively easier and the problem with the first two is that you cannot save them for later use. For example, if you are just copying and pasting and if you close your Word doc or even if you are done formatting once, then you will not be able to do that again. So you have to just repeat the whole process. But the third method is just let you save what you're formatting or your formatting style and then you can just reply it again and again whenever you're opening your Word doc. So the first one I'm going to talk about is the format painter or brush. So I have pulled up an article from my Egypt travel journals and actually I'm publishing my Egypt travel articles on my website Amitdan.com, which you can check out later and also have Egypt travel videos on my channel as well. So let's use this article to show you the first method, which is going to be the format painter or brush. So what I'll do, I'll just copy or I'll just highlight this part and change the formatting a little bit. So for example, I'll just make it italic and then I'll just change the text style, which is going to be, let's say Bill Empty and that should do the job. So now let's say you like what you see right here, this section. And now you'd like to move this formatting to other part of your document or anywhere else. So for example, you'd like to move this right here. So the first thing you have to do, you have to just put your cursor anywhere within this section or within these words or you can just even highlight it. But let's say you're just putting your cursor right here, which you can see right now. And then you're going to go to the paint brush or format painter, which is going to be located on the home ribbon. Basically it's just the tab which has home name attached to it. And you're just going to click on it. So if you just, you know, click on it, then now you can see that, you know, your cursor has changed to a brush icon. So what it means that now you can just copy or format. So let's say I'm going to just highlight a little bit here up to this part. And if I remove my click or let it go, then you can see right here that, you know, it changed the formatting and it's just representing from here. And as you can see that, you know, the formatting is gone from the cursor. So you cannot like, you know, just copy and do it again. So if you want to copy this or do it again, then you have to just go here and, you know, do it again. But let's say you want to format different parts of the document. So what you can do, you can just, you know, again, let's put your cursor here. And now instead of clicking one time on the paintbrush, we can click twice. So let's click one, two. Now we click twice. And now you can see that, you know, I have the paintbrush and I'm going to just, you know, change formatting right here. And I'm going to change formatting again right here. And you can see that, you know, now this time it's not letting me go the, go out the formatting, it's just there. And still see you have the paintbrush icon attached to your cursor. So that means that you can keep going and going. So if you want to stop that, then you can just click on the formatting again, or you can just like, you know, press this Cape button. So let's just press this Cape button. And you can see that it's gone right now. So that's, you know, the method where you can use your paintbrush or format painter to format your document. Now let's say you don't want to use the paintbrush or the format painter. So you want to use a keyboard shortcut. So instead of, you know, using the paintbrush, you can just put your cursor on the section from which you'd like to copy the format and do control shift and see. So control shift and see. So although you cannot see any paintbrush now, but it has the formatting now. So I'm going to just, you know, highlight this part. And I'm going to just, you know, again, do control shift and fee. So control shift and fee. And you can see that, you know, the formatting has changed at this time. Now let's move to the third method, which is going to be save format as a style for later use. So for this part, we have the capability to save our formatting. And then we can just, you know, use it later whenever we are, you know, using Microsoft Word until we cancel that. So in order to do that, what you're going to do, so you will just, you know, again, put your cursor on the section from where you would like to copy the formatting. And then what you can do, you can just, you know, right click. And then you can see that, you know, here you're getting that option styles. So click on it. And then you can create a style. So basically you're just naming your style. So you can just say test one. And then if you save it, so now basically your style has been saved. And this is going to be showing up right here. You can see that, you know, it's right here is test. So now if you just, you know, copy or sorry, if you highlight any part of the document and then just click here, then you can see that, you know, it's changing the formatting. So just click and changing the formatting. And you can do like, you know, as many times as you want. So you have to just highlight and click. And it's going to stay there until you cancel that. And if you'd like to cancel it or delete it, let's say that test one formatting, then just right click on it. And then you can remove from style gallery. But before I do that, I'd just like to show that you can even update here, like in a modify, or you can change it to another selection. Or you can even add it to your quick toolbar or quick access toolbar. But let's just want to remove it. So just hit remove. And then it's going to be gone. So these are the three methods you can copy and paste or just copy format styling for Microsoft Word document. Thank you for watching this video. There'll be more videos coming up. So I'll see you shortly.
