If you're referring to use of the Format Painter button, Yes, you can.
Select the formatted object, click the button then click the shape to be
formatted. If there are more than 1 object to be reformatted double-click
the Format Painter, then click each of the other objects - you'll need to
click the button again when done to turn the Format Painter off (or execute
some other action). Not *all* attributes are transferred this way - size,
for example won't be changed.
