I have some fields in my layouts that somehow were left at a default white color - while most of my others, I changed with the Fill Color (a Custom Color, I think) to the color of the background I created.

Here's the mystery: I now want to change the "straggler" fields to the Fill Color of the others. Seems simple - just right-click on a correctly colored field - determine the color and make the stranglers match. Well I've tried that - but I can't identify any of the standard colors as having the selection box around them and "Other Color..." isn't checked (and I clicked into it anyway - no Custom Colors listed.)

How can I get the "straggler" fields to match the Fill Color of the others?

Use the format painter tool.. you can copy attributes from one object to another this way.

:clap: :clap:

Reed - WOW !!

How in the world did I make it this far without finding that feature?!

You solved the problem in an instant.

Very Thankfully,

OK - So now I'm getting fussy: Any way to have the format painter cover multiple fields in one shot?

Thanks again - I'm still way ahead of the game now,

...click on the field you want the formatting to be copied from, click the copy format tool, then click and drag to select all the fields you want to apply formatting to....

Thanks aflgenx - that should really come in handy!
