In Word from OFFICE 2013:
Select all or part of a line, click format painter, selecting all or part of second line. Only part of the attributes are applied.



This doesn't happen all the time, but often enough for it to be annoying. If I repeat this a second time, the remainder of the attributes are applied.

I don't know the cause, so I can't give instructions for replicating the problem from scratch. I do know that it isn't because the part selected has "mixed" attributes, preventing a specific attribute from being applied.

I have attached a simple file that recreates the problem.
Select a character from line one, click format painter, select a character from line 2. The FONT will not be applied. Instead, you get CALIBRI.
