"I appreciated the instructor's (Jason) 
control in a trying environment. He was able to walk us through keeping the Hyper-V environment working for these labs. The instructor also brought real-world examples to each of the modules to explain many of the concepts."

Microsoft Office

You can significantly decrease the amount of time you spend formatting a document by using the Format Painter to copy formatting from one selection to another.
 
To use the Format Painter, first format your initial selection as desired. Then select the text containing the formatting you like, and click the Format Painter button located in the Clipboard group on the Home tab of the Ribbon bar. Now drag across the text you want to format.
 
To copy your chosen formatting to multiple selections, double-click the Format Painter button. This will keep the Format Painter active until you turn it off. To turn off the Format Painter, simply click the button again.
