    Hi Erman, The links is from Insiders and informs that Format Painter WILL be introduced for iPad. There is no date so I had/have no idea when it will be introduced: Format Painter is coming to PowerPoint and Word for iPad (microsoft365.com)

    Hi Erman

    I'm AnnaThomas and I'd happily help you with your question. In this Forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

    You can use the Format Painter tool to copy the formatting from one paragraph and apply it to another. Here’s how:

    Select the text or paragraph that has the formatting you want to copy. Click on the Format Painter button in the Clipboard group on the Home tab of the ribbon. The cursor will change to a paintbrush icon. Click and drag the paintbrush cursor over the text or paragraph you want to apply the formatting to. The formatting will be applied as you drag the cursor.

    If you want to apply the formatting to multiple paragraphs, double-click on the Format Painter button instead of clicking it once. This will keep the Format Painter tool active until you press the Esc key or click on the Format Painter button again.

    I hope this helps ;-), let me know if this is contrary to what you need, I would still be helpful to answer more of your questions.

    Best Regards,

    AnnaThomas
