    Keyboard shortcut for double clicking on the "format painter" icon

    Hi all,
    Hoping this is a quick fix. I've searched for an answer to this on the site and others but to no avail. It's not a big issue but I was wondering is there a key board shortcut for double clicking the "format painter" icon in Excel?

    I know Alt+HFP gets is the keyboard shortcut for clicking once on the icon but I'd like to know if there is one to double click it?

    Appreciate if anyone knows the answer to this.

    thanks in advance.

    Cathal

    I'd prefer this..

    - Copy
    - Paste special -- formats

    F4 to repeat on other ranges
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!

    Just do copy using Ctrl+C and while pasting just paste the FORMAT alone by pressing Alt+E+S+T.
