The Format Brush can be used to transfer table formatting (borders, shading, etc.) between table portions or separate tables. This can be done in 3 simple steps:
1. Select the table portion whose formatting you want to replicate: single or multiple cells, single or multiple rows, even the whole table.
2. Click the "Format Brush" button on the "Font" toolbar:
3. Use the mouse to select the target cell(s), row(s), or table to which you want to apply the source formatting.
Press the Esc key, or click the "Format Brush" button on the "Font" toolbar again, when you have finished transferring table formatting.
