How do I apply the same formatting without naming a ruler?

[martin]

An easy way to copy the format of one section of text to another is to copy and paste rulers from the ruler margin. <OL><LI>Click the ruler icon on the horizontal button bar to show the ruler icons.</li> <LI>Click the ruler that appears next to the section of text whose format you </li> want to copy, then choose Copy from the Edit menu.</LI> <LI>Move the insertion point to the first line of the section of text you want to copy the format to, and choose Paste.</LI></OL>
