How do you apply format painter to multiple shapes?

You can apply the format painter to multiple shapes most easily by grouping the shapes together and then using the format painter.

Here's how:

1. Select the shape with the desired formatting: Click on the shape whose formatting you want to copy.
2. Click the Format Painter: Locate the Format Painter button (usually represented by a paintbrush icon) on the ribbon (often in the Home tab).
3. Group the Shapes: Select all the shapes you wish to apply the formatting to. Right-click on the selected shapes and choose "Group" from the context menu. This creates a single grouped object.
4. Apply the Formatting: Click on the newly grouped shape. The formatting from your source shape will now be applied to all shapes within the group.
5. Ungroup (Optional): If you no longer want the shapes grouped, right-click on the group and select "Ungroup."

This method applies the formatting to each shape within the group simultaneously.
