• To specify the vertical placement of copies relative to the original item, enter a value in
the Vertical Offset field. A negative value places copies above the original; a positive value
places copies below it.
• To rotate each duplicated item, specify the rotation value for each item in degrees in the
Angle field. For example, if you enter 10, the first duplicated item will be rotated 10 degrees
from the original item; the second duplicated item will be rotated 20 degrees from the
original item; and so on. The rotation is counterclockwise from the original item.
• To specify the thickness of either the final duplicated frame (for a picture box or text box),
or the final duplicated line (for a text path or line), enter a point value in the End
Frame/Line Width or End Line Width field.
• When duplicating a box or a line, enter a value from 0% to 100% in the End Box Shade
or End Line Shade field to specify the background color shade in the final duplicated box
or the line color shade of the final duplicated text path or line.
• When duplicating a box that has a blended background, the End Box Shade 2 field is
enabled. Enter a value from 0% to 100% in the End Box Shade 2 field to specify the second
background shade for the blend in the final duplicated box.
• To specify the scale of the final duplicated picture box, text box, text path, or line, enter
a value from 1% to 1000% in the End Item Scale or End Line Scale field.
• To skew a duplicated box, enter a value from 75° to –75° in the End Item Skew field to
specify the skew or slant of the final duplicated box.
• To scale the contents of a picture box, text box, or text path scaled to fit the duplicate
boxes, check Scale Contents.
• To specify the point around which rotation or scaling will take place for the item, choose
an option from the Rotate & Scale Relative To drop-down menu. Note that Selected
Point is available as a choice in the Rotate & Scale Relative To drop-down menu only
when a point on a Bezier item is selected.
