Format painter on 2 different pages

Hello,

 

I would like to copy the format of a graph using format painter and paste in on another graph in another page of my report. However, when moving from one page to another, the format painter selection is cancelled.

 

Is there any way to do this ?

 

Thanks,

 

Antoine

If you hold down CTRL and click the Format painter, you can select another sheet, and apply it to any visual you want. It's been a huge game changer for me since I discovered this trick.
