Copy Format

Hi everyone,
I just change from MS office to iWork and I encounter a problem. In MS word, there is a tool, a paintbrush thing, where u can highlight some text, remember its format ( font, size, color etc), and when u highlight another piece of text, it will automatically change to it.
Is there such a function in iWork, I tried to find, but I fail.
Thank you very much,
Kelv

Question already asked and responded.
A simple search in the existing threads with the clumsy keyword "paintbrush" returns the response.

  • Is it possible to copy formats and styles from one document to another?

    Is it possible to copy formats and styles from one document to another?
    Or use a commen styledocument as a masterdocument?

    Only by creating a template with what you want.
    Apple has removed the ability to import styles inPAges 5 along with almost 100 other features.

  • "Copy Format" Command

    Hi All - New InDesign User, CS4 on Win XP.
    In MS Word, I use the Format Painter tool - this copies the format of one piece of text to another. There doesn't seem to be a similar functionality in InDesign. I guess it would be called 'Copy Format' or something similar. Is there such a functonality available in this package anywhere? (If not I might put it into the WishList forum.)

    You might also want to try using styles. Styles can be defined from highlighted formatted text and applied to other text using a keyboard shortcut created as part of the style definition. That would be faster if you are going to re-use formatting more than once, and it has the advantage that you can re-define the style, and all the text you've styles will update instantly.

  • IPad/iPhone Copy Format not possible??

    Hi, I have noticed I cannot go in Advance/make an iPod/iPhone copy format for film I purchased... why?
    Is it a copyright issue??
    Tnxs cheers

    You are perfectly right. However the problem is that even if I have 2 versions (HD SD) I have only one selectable in iPad or iPhone synching and it is only the HD one. I have verified I have  2.6GB and a 1.2GB on the HD and THR option to select the one I want from iTunes to view. However only the HD one is automatically synched... Do you know how Incan sync only the SD one?

  • In InCopy, how can I paste from one InDesign table to another without also copying formatting?

    I'm attempting to paste information from one indesign document to another, but the styles are different. Pasting without formatting not working in a table. When I paste over, it retains the container style from the original table.
    I have "Text Only" selected from my Clipboard Handling preferences, so I'm not sure what else to do. I know I can hit escape to switch to the text selection instead of a container, but this only selects the text from one cell. I'd like to copy over the entire table, instead of copying cell by cell.
    How can I paste a table into another, without copying the formatting?

    Copy/Paste whole cells will always retain formatting.
    What you have to do is: Copy/Paste Without Formatting the text contents of the individual cell.
    You have to do that individually for each cell, if you want to copy over text of a whole table.
    A better approach would be to:
    1. Copy the whole table to Excel (or a different spread sheet application)
    2. Copy again from that
    3. Select one single cell and paste
    In that case "Text Only" should be selected from the Clipboard Handling Preferences.

  • "Referenced" Table Cells not copying formatting of the source table

    Hi-
    I have one sheet that has a rental inventory table that is quite large.  On another page, I have a "printable" version that has filtering applied to hide certain columns.
    What I did orginally was duplicate the table on the inventory page, cut it, then go to my printable sheet, and paste it.  I now have a duplicate version of the original.  Then I go and select all cells, hit delete and all the contents disappear leaving me with the correct formating.
    At this point I can type in cells and see that the formating is intact (certain cells are in Bold for example).
    I delete the test contents, then reference the first cell (a1) to the source table, then copy the references across that entire printable table.  Once I've done that, all of the contents of the source table now appear in the "printable" table. 
    The problem is, that once I reference the source table, the formatting goes away.  The data shows up correctly:  ie, =Equip List :: B2, but the specific cell formating is gone.
    What am i doing wrong here?
    Thanks
    Matt

    "I delete the test contents, then reference the first cell (a1) to the source table, then copy the references across that entire printable table."
    If you do this by selecting and Copying the first cell containing the formula, that "copy" includes the formatting of the copied cell. If you then Paste, the Paste includes that format setting. You could try Edit > Paste and Match format.
    If that doesn't work, you could try this:
    Enter, then fill the formula as you've done, then set the format of each cell or group of cells to include the attributes you want at that location.

  • Copying formatting from conditional formatting without the rules

    I tend to use a lot of conditional formatting in my spreadsheets. Unfortunately, this leads to two problems:
         1) I need more rules than are allowed (this seems to be related to the height of my screen... probably because the dialog box doesn't have a scrollbar)
         2) This really, really slows things down, especially when combined with cell references, and particularly when I'm trying to rearrange cells (as far as I can see Numbers has a tendency to freeze and/or blank out the table I'm working on)
    The easiest way I can see out of my predicament would be to somehow remove the conditional formatting rules while keeping the actual formatting... like copy-and-pasting values instead of the actual cells (with intact formulae). Is this possible? And if possible, how would I go about doing it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Up to 15 rules can be set for conditional formating of a cell.
    1)
    Considering that the usual purpose of conditional formatting is to flag 'unusual' values, and to make the 'condition' instantly visible and recognizable, that seems an over generous number. If a cell or group of cells on your table 'needs' more than 15 possible formats (the base format and 15 others based on rules), perhaps what's needed is a re-thinking of why that many are needed, and whether having that many formats adequately answers that 'why'.
    If you really do need that many, you can set then, even if your display height is filled with fewer than that. Additional rules may be inserted after any existing rule, not just the last one. note, though, that the conditions are evaluated in the order the rules are listed, from top to bottom, and the format is set by the first rule encountered whose condition is met.
    2)
    Not surprising. Numbers recalculates the entire table each time a value in the table is changed. That calculation includes through each list of conditional formatting rules until a match is found (or the end of the list is reached), and includes setting the new format for each affected cell.
    3)
    Not that I'm aware of. The base format of the cell may be copied (option-command-C) and pasted elsewhere (option-command-V), and that pair of operations will include any conditional format rules that had been set for the original cell.
    But conditional formatting is just that—a set of rules that applies a set of attributes to a cell when a specific condition is met. The applied format exists only when the condition is met, and can't be copied except by copying the rule—actually the whole set of rules for that cell—which puts you no further ahead.
    3a) You could, of course, change the base format of the cell to match the colour and style applied by the conditional rule, then clear the conditional format rules for that cell or set of cells. That would 'remove the rules while keeping the (applied) formatting', and would leave the formulas intact. seems to me a game not worth the candle, though.

  • Automatically copy format to new slide

    HI all,
    I'm new with Keynote and I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, but I certainly can't seem to find it. I'm putting together a boring, bulleted presentation and have adjusted the master slide to the format I want. Changed font, size, bullet indentation, etc. However when I add a new slide, none of the format from the prior slide is copied to the new slide, it reverts to the original master slide format.
    Is there any way to not have to redo the formating for each slide? I tried to save as a Theme, but that didn't seem to work.
    Thanks for helping!
    Steve

    duplicate a master slide and rename
    make  changes to the slide as required
    save as a new theme
    when creating a new presentation, from the tool bar;   select the new custom theme,  then select the new custom master  slide

  • RMAN Backup Copy format

    Hi,
    am using following rman block to take incremental backup copy for recover.
    run{
    allocate channel c1 type disk format 'd:\copy\%f';
    BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 FOR RECOVER OF COPY WITH TAG 'full_backup' DATABASE ;
    It creates backup under D:|COPY directory but the name of backup copy is file# of datafile. How can I take backup copy which has same name as actual data file i.e. users01.dbf?
    Thanks
    SAQ

    With an FRA defined (via DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE and DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST), the command is simply
    backup incremental level 1 for recover of copy tag 'MY_TAG' database
    A FORMAT specifier is not required.

  • Copy formatted text from Pages into Mac Mail loses formatting

    Hi,
    I have a document template I use in Pages that eventually gets copied into an email for sending (rather than attached, it's the actual email body).
    Issue is, when I copy from Pages into Mac Mail, the formatting is horrible.
    The closest I have to a workaround, though still not 100% (just way better) is to Export the Pages file to Word format, open the document in Word, copy the text there and paste it into Mac Mail.
    It can't be this awkward, can it?
    Thanks!

    Couple of options:
    Use command shift 4 and draw around the table with the mouse curser ~ a png picture of your table will be on your desktop ~ use attach in mail and tick send windows friendly attachments too.
    You could also save Numbers as pdf ( Under the print option) and attach that instead.
    No doubt there are other ways.

  • Copy Formatted Searches From Sales Order To AR Invoice

    I have a series of formatted searches attched to the Sales Order.  Is there a way to copy these to another document program like the AR Invoice without having to manually assigning them to each individual field.
    Thanks,
    Tom Arnold - ECS

    Thomas,
    I don't think Copy Express is the tool for this.  Copy express is mainly used to company Configuration, User Settings, PLD, etc from one company DB to another.
    To copy FMS from one document type to another is a manual effort.  You need to manually open the document and link the FMS.
    Also make sure that the if the FMS has form refereces they should be Dynamic.  What I mean is...If you are referencing the CardCode on the Sales Order...you SQL code should not have syntax  $\[ORDR.CardCode]...This will only work on the Sales Order.
    You need to make it generic....$\[$4.0.0]..this way it will refer to the Card Code when added to any marketing document.

  • Backup copy format

    Hi
    On 10gr2, i use the rman command :
    backup as copy database;
    The format for datafiles is : o1_mf_"t"_"u"_.dbf
    "t" seems to be the tablespace name.
    But the tablespace name is always truncated (8 caracters), is there a way to have the full tablespace name ?
    Maybe with use of the FORMAT command ?
    Thanks for answer.

    You seem to be using the default OMF format. If you want to specify your own format, %N can be used to specify the tablespace name.

  • Copying Formatted Data

    Are there any methods that can read a text file that contains tabs, carriage returns, etc. Then writes it out identically to an output file? I need something that can copy the exact formatting doing read and then write.

    Thanks. Looking around I found PrintStream and PrintWriter. Would these work by any chance?

  • Copying format of email addresses

    Dear all,
    This is a very minor issue, but it's a bit annoying nonetheless. It seems that with Snow Leopard, the format that you get when copying a contact's address (for example from the "To:" field of a new email you're composing) and pasting it somewhere has changed from the raw address (i.e. "[email protected]") to the full address info (i.e. "Tim Metz <[email protected]>").
    Is there any way to switch this back as I use this quite a lot and 99% of the time I need just the address and not the brackets, full name, etc.
    Thanks and regards,
    Tim Metz

    Thanks for the answer. It's pretty strange though cause I use that a lot and I'm quite sure it wasn't like that before Snow Leopard.
    And I know it's a very small thing, but I use it a lot to share contacts with people, send invitations on social networks and other online stuff, etc. and usually in those things it's best to just have the raw email address without all the extra info (the naming in my address book is not necessarily what I would like to share with other people
    Anyway, very minor stuff, in dutch we call my behavior "ant f*cking"
