Keep Your Text Styling when Copy and Pasting Object Style

Don't override your typography

Learn how to quickly copy and paste style for PowerPoint objects, like can with the formatting painter, without losing your text formatting. This saves you from having to go back and correct font weights, bullets, font sizes and other styling you may wish to keep.

For an even faster method, rather than duplicating the object, you can also copy the text before applying the new object style but my preference is to have the duplicate object to help doublecheck that all the text formatted correctly.

Steve Sheets, Associate Creative Director, Technical Director

Steve is a designer with high expectations for a final product but he tends to obsess over process too. He likes to know the many ways to get things done, the advantages of each and their oh so scary pitfalls. Perhaps that's why he has a Mac and a PC?

"Workflows are one of the few times in life where the best way tends to be the easy way, the trick is figuring out what's 'easy' for your specific situation."
