Copying, pasting, and replicating objects

Besides using the Windows Clipboard to copy and paste objects, you can

duplicate objects easily using drag-and-drop, and

replicate multiple copies of

any object in precise formations. You can also

transfer the formatting of one

object to another, with the option of selecting specific attributes to be

included when formatting is pasted.

To copy an object (or multiple selection) to the Windows Clipboard:

• Right-click the object and choose Copy from the submenu.

Select the object, click the

Copy button on the Standard toolbar,

press Ctrl+C, or choose Copy from the Edit menu.

If you're using another Windows application, you can usually copy and paste

objects via the Clipboard.
