Using the paintbrush to apply formats

Once the appropriate cell format has been chosen, it can easily and quickly be applied to other cells using the paintbrush:

  1. Select the cell that contains the desired format.
  2. From the 'Rumah' tab of the Ribbon, click on the paintbrush button.
    Using the paintbrush
    • Click once to apply the format to a single new cell.
    • Click twice if you need to format a selection of cells.
    • The cursor will change shape to a broad white cross, with a small paintbrush symbol, indicating it is ready to use to apply formats.
  3. Click on the target cell.
    • If applying the format to a contiguous range of cells, click on the first cell, then hold down the shift key and then click on the last cell in the range. Alternatively, click on the cells individually. When all cells have been formatted, click the paintbrush symbol again to release the formatting.
