Hi Scott, all,

Here is a basic add-on that works like the brush style under Word. It's called
Le pinceau. Two icons appear in the functions bar. The first copies all the
styles under the cursor and the second pastes the styles to the new position of
the cursor. Le Pinceau can be repeated as long as one wants until a new
selection occurs.
I'm not sure that this tool goes under documentation (we have add-ons under
documentation on fr-site), so feel free to redirect me. 
Best - Sophie
