Select or click the text or object that you want to apply the formatting to.
If you want to apply the formatting to more than one selection, double-click the Clone Formatting icon . After you apply all the formatting, click the icon again.

In Calc, the Clone Formatting tool only copies formatting applied using the dialog or other equivalent methods. Therefore, any formatting applied directly to characters by selecting text inside a cell and then going to the dialog will not be copied using the Clone Formatting tool.
The paragraph formats are the formats applied to the whole paragraph. The character formats are those applied to a portion of the paragraph. For example, if you apply the bold format to a whole paragraph the bold format is a paragraph format. Then if you unbold a portion of this paragraph, the bold format is still a paragraph format but the portion you unbold has a "not bold" character format.
