Which tool is used to copy text formatting in PowerPoint?

The Format Painter is the tool used in PowerPoint for copying text formatting. This feature enables users to duplicate formatting attributes such as font type, size, color, boldness, italics, underline, and other style elements from one piece of text to another. It works by allowing users to select the formatted text they wish to replicate and then apply that format to other selected text with just a click.

When using the Format Painter, you simply highlight the text with the desired formatting, click the Format Painter icon in the toolbar, and then click on the text where you want to apply the copied formatting. This streamlined process saves time, especially when working on presentations that require a consistent visual style throughout.

The other options do not accurately reflect the specific function available in PowerPoint. For instance, there is no tool named the Text Format Copier or Style Transfer Tool in PowerPoint, and while copy and paste functionality exists, it does not specifically focus on formatting alone—copying text itself does not automatically carry over the formatting, unless using the Format Painter.
