What does "paint format" do? I see it in the toolbar while composing messages, but don't know what it does

 I see it in the toolbar while composing messages, but don’t know what it does.
I was hoping it would be  a way to do text highlighting… but doesn’t appear to be so.
I read other forum posts that highlighting enhancement is to come in a future release.

Hi Susan, “Paint Format” button is a standard Microsoft feature that can be found in a number of other applications just as well as in eM Client, more information about how to use this button can be found here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/use-format-painter-HP001168426.aspx

Essentially, you can copy formatting of a part of your text and apply this formatting on other part of your unformatted text.

Hope this helps,
Paul.

Thanks for the explanation.  I don’t see the “paintbrush” icon so I didn’t think it was working.
It does work though.

Hi Paul

I select the text with the style that I want and I select the Paintbrush icon but it does not activate, i.e. I cannot apply the style to other text.

I’m using the same method as I do in MS Word.
