Copy and paste attributes

If I understand your question correctly, then Yes, there is a very easy way to copy the attributes from one object (or text sample) to another:

In the Toolbar at the top of our Editing Window, there should be two icons: Copy Style and Paste Style. If you don't see them, then you need to go to the View Menu and select Customize Toolbar; here you can select and drag these (and any other tools you want to add) into your Toolbar.

Once you have these tools available, all you need to do is select any object, click the Copy tool to capture the style (attributes) and then when you select another object, click the Paste tool to apply them. This also works, as mentioned above, with text.

Good luck.

There are a number of available tools that are useful, some more than others, and some to some more than to others ... At least they are there and can be used to customize the toolbar as desired.

I'm glad I was able to help you find yours.

Good luck.

You may also be interested in the keyboard shortcuts ... Option-Cmd-C for copying the style an Option-Cmd-v for pasting it. Similarly, if you do a Cmd-C for copying text and you want it pasted with the existing style of the 'paste point' then you'll do a Shift-Option-Cmd-v. I use this a lot. Hope this helps.
