If you already have a well formatted portion of text and you want to apply similar formatting to another portion of text, then Microsoft Word provides a feature to copy and apply a format from one portion of text to another portion of text. That would solve most people’s problems, even though it wouldn’t keep all the text formatting you can set in these programs.In this chapter, we will discuss how to copy and apply formatting in Word 2010.

We often have to lay out all our text in Photoshop (along with the graphics), and then, later in the process, copy all text in InDesign for the final layout.
