<warning id="par_id1001629997571404">In Calc, the Clone Formatting tool only copies formatting applied using the <menuitem>Format - Cells</menuitem> dialog or other equivalent methods. Therefore, any formatting applied directly to characters by selecting text inside a cell and then going to the <menuitem>Format - Character</menuitem> dialog will not be copied using the Clone Formatting tool.</warning>
<paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_idN10672" role="paragraph">The <emph>paragraph</emph> formats are the formats applied to the whole paragraph. The <emph>character</emph> formats are those applied to a portion of the paragraph. For example, if you apply the bold format to a whole paragraph the bold format is a <emph>paragraph</emph> format. Then if you unbold a portion of this paragraph, the bold format is still a <emph>paragraph</emph> format but the portion you unbold has a "not bold" <emph>character</emph> format.</paragraph>
