This is pretty straightforward:

I have two crosstabs. I want one to look like the other.

I right click on the first crosstab, choose 'Copy Format' and then right click on the second crosstab and choose 'Paste Format'.

It pastes the size and font, that's it. No border attributes, no background colours.

Why on earth would it only paste some of the copied format?

I've not used the Copy Format much. However, it may simply be a limitation of that functionality for copying the format of an entire crosstab.
You can file a bug/enhancement request for that functionality.

As a workaround, if you are going to be using that format frequently, I would recommend creating a custom style. Then you can just apply that style to each crosstab that is created.

Yes, the custom format is what I went for which is undoubtedly more powerful. But I think I might raise a bug for the format painter, as it's simply not doing it's job...

By all means, please file a bug report and include as much detail as possible with a sample report based on Classic Models, if possible.
