Created attachment 84326 [details] The file to test the paragraph format coping. I tried Libreoffice 4.1.1-rc1, the Format Paint Brush can copy the Font Format, but it can not copy the Paragraph Format. You can download attachment PaintBrush-paragraph.odt to test this problem with Libreoffice 4.1.1-rc1. Thank you~
Behaviour of format paintbrush has changed since 4.0: by default only character formatting is copied, to include paragraph formatting hold down Ctrl when you select the text (or Ctrl+Shift for copying only paragraph formatting). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 59029 ***
Stanislav Horacek: Thanks for your explaining, now I know it's a new feature. :)
