* Excel and Word: A fast way to copy formatting or styles to multiple parts of a document or worksheet: Click on the word or number whose formatting you want to duplicate, click twice on the Format Painter#, which looks like a paintbrush, then just click on any numbers or text you want similarly formatted. But don't forget to disengage it by pressing Esc# or it will continue to reformat everything you click on. For a one-time copy, click once on the Format Painter#.
