Format Painter in Flare 2018
Hello! I'm fairly new to using Madcap Flare 2018 and although this may be listed somewhere in this forum, I was wondering if Format Painter (or something like that) is an option in Flare 2018. Thank you!

Re: Format Painter in Flare 2018
Welcome to the forums! 
AFAIK, Flare does not have a Format Painter command.
Flare does have a Repeat Last Action command (F8). That might get you part of the way to where you want to go.
Flare also supports macros, so if you could record a series of actions by which you are formatting, you can then save that as a macro that you run on demand.
A word of caution: If you are formatting things by using inline formatting, STOP. When one uses inline formatting, one invariably ends up with content that looks great in one kind of output and lousy in another, not to mention content that you'll need to reformat by hand if you ever change your mind about something. To the greatest extent possible, format your content by applying styles from the project's stylesheet.
