Hi Jerry,
You can use these keys, if you are trying to avoic the mouse. Copy a cell
with the color/shading you want - Ctrl + C.
Select the cells to receive the format.
Press Alt+E, S, T, Enter.

OR
Choose Tools, Customize.
On the Commands tab, choose the category Edit. On the right, under Commands,
scroll until you see Paste Formatting. Drag this icon to a toolbar, and then
close the Customize dialog box. This will provide one=button click to paste
format to selected cells.

Cheers,
Annie
