What on earth is the Format Painter? I use Excel quite extensively (Excel 2000 at work and Excel XP at home) and I've nevewr heard of it. Just out of curiosity, I asked my sighted wife who also uses Excel a lot, and she's never heard of it either. Can you enlighten me? Take care...

Sometimes I need to use the format painter but I can't find it in the format menu. Is there a keyboard shortcut for it to use? I even use the root jaws to Pc but I can't locate it. I hope you can help me. Thanks. emdionisio Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
