How do I apply component style to existing text?

Hi Tom11,
Thanks for reaching out to the community!
If I understand well, if you want the style of a specific component, I would recommend you just to create the instance of this component directly, but I may miss something, please clarify if I am wrong. 🙂

As a second workaround, if your aim is just to copy a text style, I’d recommend you first create your text styles, then apply your text styles to your components.
