How to customise shortcut for format painter

Hello everyone!

I want to customize shortcut for Format Painter (that you use to copy only format and than appy on newly selected text).

 

I go to Word Options - Customise - Customize,

and there I must find the name for Copying format and pasting format ( so I could apply shortcuts: Ctrl Shift C and Ctrl Shif V).

 

What are the names of these commands??

I see a command called   FormatCopy,

but no command for FormatPaste!!

 

Thank you for help!

The commands are called CopyFormat and PasteFormat, respectively.

May I ask why you can't use the built-in shortcuts?
