\nformat you wish to replicate.<\/p>\n

6. You’ll see that the text has changed after picking any text where you wish to apply the copied format, but the pointer still preserves the small paintbrush next to the arrow, indicating that you may keep selecting more texts to apply the format.<\/p>\n

7. When you’re finished, press Esc or click Format Painter.<\/p>\n
