Can I Copy Properties from one field to another

I have a form that I created using the wizard and a Word document as input.
 
So most of the fields have properties in the font and paragraph palettes that I want to change to a single value, i.e. I want a particular property in the paragraph palette to be the same for all the fields.
 
Is there a way to copy some or all of properties from one field to another? Ideally I would like to select which properties I want to copy, though if I have to copy them all, then that would be workable.
 
As it is now I have to go through and change 1 hundred or more fields to have the font and paragraph properties I want.

Hi dglarson,

I don't have LiveCycle Designer running right now, but I'm pretty sure it works the same as Acrobat does for selecting multiple fields. If you select a field and then hold down the Control (Ctrl) key while selecting other fields you can then change the properties of all selected fields at once from the Properties dialog.
This is not exactly copying properties of one field to another- it's setting the properties of a bunch of fields at once, but I think that may suit your need.
