I could do this in 2003, help says do it the same way in 2007 -- DOES NOT WORK!

I select the text box with the format I want to copy, click on the format
painter, then click on the text box I want to format ... and ... NOTHING.

So what am I doing worng?

Thanks.

Hi JR

The format painter works fine for me though I do seem to remember someone
reporting problems with particular settings not copying. How is your text
box formatted? For example, I just managed to use format painter to copy
font, font size, shape fill, shape outline, and a glow effect. Oh, and make
sure you have the whole shape selected when you use the format painter, not
just the text or the cursor flashing in the box.
