Hmm, interesting problem. Libre Office has one special feature. For the
paragraph formatting to be copied, the entire paragraph (or a fragment of the
previous and next paragraph of the same formatting) must be selected. To select
a paragraph, you can use the combination Ctrl + Up, Ctrl + Down, Ctrl + Shift +
Down. I want to warn you that this way of working with documents (thoughtless
use of manual formatting) usually leads to very disastrous consequences in
terms of subsequent formatting changes. A much more practical way is to mark up
the document with styles, without using manual formatting. Then, to change the
entire document, you just need to reconfigure a few of the used styles properly
(or apply a set of styles from another document / template). I also recommend
that you look on YouTube for videos in which the authors show how to fix a
similar problem because of what it can arise. I found a couple of dozen videos
on this topic there and most of them had about 29 thousand views! I am sure
this is because their authors used the services of https://soclikes.com/ in
order to wind up views.
