Copy text attributes from one text block to another text block

[kanihoncho]

Is there a way to copy text attributes from one text block to another text block with out having to set up character and paragraph styles?

I know the comparison of Adobe products can't be avoided . . .  I can select a block of text and then select the eyedropper tool and click on another block of text and all its attributes will be transferred - size, font, color, etc. If I have eight blocks of individual words (using Designer) and I finally get the text attributes the way I want them, can I quickly transfer those attributes to the other text blocks

I am an old school analog-to-digital typographer/designer that designs on the fly. I don't preset all my text parameters at the beginning because I am constantly changing things. Once I am happy with the design then I go in and format the entire document. With InDesign I have the ability to highlight text and create a style from it with a right-click command.

Adobe has really screwed up their main product line - Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Used them recently on a job and they are SO BLOATED and operationally confusing nowadays. I do like AP and AD but feel Publisher is the biggest one of the three that falls short

Thanks.

Does Edit > Copy to select the initial formatted text block followed by Edit > Paste Style to apply the formatting to your other text blocks give you what you need?

I don't think that works for text attributes (font, leading, kerning, etc.).

You can do that in the Affinity applications, too, except instead of using a right-click you use one of the icons at the bottom-left of the Text Styles panel, where you should find a +P, +A, and +S for creating Paragraph, Character, and Group Text Styles from the currently selected text.

As far as I can tell it works for everything font related, size, colour, leading, tracking, horizontal scale, vertical scale, baseline shift etc.,  everything apart from kerning but that's a good thing as kerning is character pair specific meaning if it did accommodate kerning you would potentially end up with a bit of a mess when pasting to alternative text using different character pairs...
