When copying format to multiple text blocks with format painter, double
clicking the icon in the menu bar simply will NOT hold. I turns OFF
immediate after formating once.

I am on Office 2007. Try as I might, double clicking on the format painter
does not lock it in to format multiple times and I have to re-click the brush
after each use.

Just checked and it works ok here, but:

- I've applied SP1. Do you have that yet?

- I'm clicking the format painter on the Home tab. It may behave differently if
you've added it to the quick access toolbar.
