How do I use format painter to copy format from document to anoth.

[Ellen]

I used to be able to use the format painter to copy formatting from one Word
doc to another, but for some reason I can't do it anymore. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I don't know of any reason why it would stop working...but you might
want to give Help > Detect and Repair a shot.

If that doesn't work...make sure your temp folder is clear and maybe
try resetting your normal.dot to normal.old. See the articles below
for details.
