Copying and pasting formatting

One way to format a control is to copy and paste the formatting. After you have formatted a control in a particular way, you can copy that formatting to other controls of the same type. You cannot copy formatting between objects of different types. For example, you cannot paste a rectangle's formatting onto a text field, because the two types do not have the same formatting settings.

You cannot copy formatting between two Grid/Graph containers. You can create an Autostyle and apply it to multiple Grid/Graphs to apply the same formatting to all of them. For steps to create and use Autostyles, see Formatting using predefined formats (Autostyles).

To copy and paste formatting

1. In MicroStrategy Web, open the document in Design or Editable Mode.

2. Select the control with the desired formatting and click the Copy icon on the Standard toolbar.

3. Select the control(s) to copy the formatting to.

   The selected controls must be the same type as the control that you copied the formatting from.

4. Right-click the selected control(s) and choose Paste Format
