copy /paste info in text box while keeping formatting????

[Kyosa]

Does anyone know if you can take text that's formatted in a text box, copy and paste it in another text box and maintain the original formatting (colors, fonts, underlining etc..)
Everytime i try to do this i loose the formattiong and it's pain to get it back. just curious if it's a possibility.

thanks,

it might work if you save it as *.rtf [sig][/sig]

If you're in PowerPoint, it's because of the Slide Master. Go to the menu bar and select View>Master>Slide Master. It'll display all the text boxes (titles, bullets, etc) on your slide. Change the fonts and such to what you want, and choose the Close button.

If it's another program like Word, I'm not sure about that. But you can get around it really easily. Since you're copying and pasting, return to the text box you copied from. Highlight the text, and click the Format Painter button (that's the paintbrush). Click and drag it across the words in the other text box, and your formatting will return. If you double-click the Format Painter button, it'll hold the formatting so that you can do more than one text box. Works great on lines and changing the color of text boxes, too.

Sorry, i should have pointed out that this is a text box in Excel '97. I thought about using the paintbrush however, whenever i enter the text box it greys out that option so i can't use it.

Anyway, thanks for the ideas!
