Hi phanib4u
Not trying to be disagreeable here, and I may have a different understanding of what Format Painter does exactly, so here goes. I'm gonna say it "sorta" does. Here's how.
Take some text and apply some manual formatting to it. Perhaps changing the font to something wild and crazy and adjusting the spacing. Now, select the text and click inside the area of the toolbar where your styles are listed. Here's where it gets cool. You can either type a brand new style name in this area or choose an existing style. Once you perform either action, poof! You should be greeted with a dialog asking what you wish to do. Particularly if you selected a different style. RoboHelp HTML will want to know whether you wish to update the style you selected with the new manual formatting, or if you wish to simply re-apply the existing style formatting to your selected text.
Please bear in mind that I'm in no way any form of Word power user. I tend to avoid it if I can at all. But what I outlined above is how Word would work with Format Painter. At least in my mind, that's how I would imagine it would work. If anyone needs to set me straight on my understanding of the feature, I would appreciate hearing about it!
Cheers... Rick
