Using Fill Format mode
This method is quite useful when you need to apply the same style to
many scattered cells.
1) Open the Styles and Formatting window and select the style you
want to apply.
2) Click the Fill Format mode icon . The mouse pointer changes
to this icon.
3) Position the moving icon on the cell to be styled and click the
mouse button.
4) To quit Fill Format mode, click the Fill Format mode icon again
or close the Styles and Formatting window.
Caution
When this mode is active, a right-click anywhere in the
document undoes the last Fill Format action. Be careful not to
accidentally right-click and thus undo actions you want to
keep.
Using the Apply Style list
You can also add an Apply Style drop-down list to the Formatting
toolbar and select a style from the list to apply it to the selected cells:
1) Click the down-arrow at the right-hand end of the Formatting
toolbar. On the drop-down menu, click Visible Buttons.
