What is the purpose of the Format Painter tool in PowerPoint?

Explanation

The Format Painter in PowerPoint allows you to copy the formatting attributes from text, shapes, or other objects and apply them elsewhere within your presentation. It is especially useful for maintaining consistent styles without manually adjusting each element. To use it, select the formatted item, click the Format Painter on the Home tab, then click or drag over the target items to apply the copied formatting. Note that Format Painter only transfers visual styles, not the underlying content.
