When pasting text properties, you have two options:
- Highlight a specific text string to select it, then paste the properties directly onto the selected text.
- Place your cursor within a text string and paste. Figma will automatically apply the properties to the surrounding text that shares the same property as the cursor's location, without needing to highlight any text.
