Format Painter in Pages?

Question

Hello,
I'll assume that others may have asked this question already, but is there a feature that's similar to MS Word's Format Painter that allows you to copy the text and paragraph formatting to other parts of your document simply by 'copying' it from text in one part of your document to text in another part of your document.
Word has had this feature since at least 2000 or '97.

Answer 1

In Numbers, triggering the "Copy Style" button,
selecting an other piece of text
triggering the "Paste Style" button does exactly what it's supposed to achieve.
It doesn't in Pages so, from my point of view, there is a bug.
*Bug ID# 7989885*
Summary:
+In Pages, the Copy Style and Paste Style buttons seems to fail to do their job.+
+*Steps to Reproduce:*+
+Apply formatting attributes like font, size, bold, italic, color …+
+to a word+
+Select the word+
+trigger the Copy Style button.+
+Select an other word+
+trigger the Paste Style button.+
+*Expected Results:*+
+I assumed that, as this scheme does in Numbers, it would apply the attributes of the original word to the target one+
+*Actual Results:*+
+It changes nothing to the target word+
Regression:
+Copy two letters from the original word.+
+Paste just before (or just after) the piece of text whose attributes must be modified+
+Cut the piece of text+
+Put the cursor between the two styled letters+
+Paste and Match Style+
+Delete the two extraneous letters.+
