There didn't seem to be any way to do something that basic and you're adding a "format painter."<br /><br />This is the second time that I've worked with Google Spreadsheet and swore never to use it again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361978922206497470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-77426646296605061892010-06-24T18:30:05.566-07:002010-06-24T18:30:05.566-07:00That format painter belongs to the ugly typewriter...That format painter belongs to the ugly typewriter model of typesetting MS Office has.

Speaking of menus, please let us customize the tool bar (icons). Every menu option should be available to place on the toolbar (and have a keyboard shortcut). This would alleviate digging into menus/sub-menus for frequently used functions.quenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-81441001716222020502010-06-23T04:20:02.968-07:002010-06-23T04:20:02.968-07:00good infogood infoossanhttp://takeinstantmoney.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-44276380292445511122010-06-23T01:24:43.949-07:002010-06-23T01:24:43.949-07:00Regarding the Microsoft example...

I'm pretty sure in MS it's ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v (very helpful as I believe it's the only way to copy/paste formatting without using the mouse at all).Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148146785844410890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-22255019345683246452010-06-22T15:44:03.067-07:002010-06-22T15:44:03.067-07:00What still blows my mind about all this is how I c...What still blows my mind about all this is how I can get the format painter now (even though it hasn't been formally announced) but not the new sharing functionality, along with the new Docs by default (announced like a week ago).
