Abstract
A method and system can format objects on a first page of an electronic document being created by applying the formatting from corresponding objects contained in a separate formatting source where these objects have been formatted using the existing tools of the application. In this way, when a page is created that has formatting information that is preferred by a user, subsequent pages can be created by referring to the page that has the preferred formatting information.
