Tip 2. The Eye-droppers (a.k.a. Sucker-upper tool)
(PowerPoint 2000)

Do you ever wish you could grab all of the properties (color, line thickness, font, etc.) of one object and given them to another? You can!

PowerPoint is equipped with 2 eye-dropper commands, "Pick Up Object Style" & "Apply to Defaults". Both of these can be located in the customize commands window, under the "Format" category.

To use these commands drag them to your toolbar of choice. Select an object by clicking on it (i.e a text box with a drop shadow, background color, specific font, font color, font size, border, etc). Then click on the "Pick Up Object Style" eye-dropper command. Nothing visible will happen, however all of the info has been grabbed. Now if you have another object (i.e. text box) that needs to look the same, select it and then click once on the "Apply to Defaults" eyedropper command. All of the information gathered from the first will now be applied to the second and stored in the command until you either click on the "Pick Up Object Style" eye-dropper command or quit out of PowerPoint.
