Copying source formatting to target

Hello I'm becoming extremely frustrated with text formatting in the target segments,

I have a document which seems to be reasonably well formatted (typeface and text size) but target segments are highly variable. I don't want to have to copy the source to target segment every time and then delete it. Is it possible to just copy the formatting from source to target? There don't seem to be any tags in particular to copy over.

I've already seen a couple of posts giving quite extensive shortcuts but none seems to include the one I'm looking for.

Thanks, Mark

    You can easily and very quickly transfer formatting from source to target using the QuickPlace function (CTRL-comma or CTRL-click), but you need to do it individually for each tag/tag pair.

    It is not possible to copy the entire formatting because localisable formatting such as bold, underline, italic, footnotes, etc. may be in different places in the target segment than in the source segment, hence the need to transfer them one by one.

    If you want to be sure that you see all tags including the ones that are hidden by default, make all tags visible by clicking on "Toggle formatting display" in the "Option" section of the "view" ribbon.
