New field with Field Style matching current fields

I am a relatively new user and am using FM Pro 9. How do I add a field to a layout and have it automatically look the same as the other fields, ie... color fill, text color, text size, text format, borders, border color , border thickness....

It seems you should be able to right-click on a field and copy it's recipe for all it's style features then click on a new field or group of fields and apply that recipe. Am I missing something? I can't stand reformatting additional fields to match the current ones.

Thanks.

Use the format text tool. It looks like a paint brush. Click the field to copy the format of, then click the paint brush and then click to field to paste the formatting on.

For many fields, click the field to copy then control click the paintbrush then click multiple fields or select them while this tool is activated.

Or, with nothing selected, set the text size, font style, color, etc and it will become the default for any future field.

Thanks detatango! I read you can double click it, too. Then click multiple fields.
