to another page
in the same presentation, or
to another presentation
.
To Copy Page Elements Within the Same Page
Select
the page elements you want to copy (see
Selecting page elements
for details).
Click
Copy
on the
Home
menu.
Click
Paste
on the
Home
menu.
The pasted elements will appear
below the original elements
, as long as there is enough space left.
Note:
If all selected elements are connected to a data provider and share the same
Row
property:
When pasted, the
Row
property will automatically
increment by 1
.
However,
repeated pasting
will not keep incrementing (e.g., not 2, 3, etc.).
To achieve consecutive rows, you must repeat
both Copy and Paste
for each step.

the page elements to copy.
Click
Copy
on the
Home
menu.
Navigate
to another page using the navigation buttons in the
View
menu.
Click

on the
Home
menu.
The elements will be pasted at the
same position
as the originals.
To Copy Page Elements to Another Presentation

Home
menu.
Open
the target presentation (if not open yet), or click its tab to make it active.

View
menu.

Home
menu.
The elements will be inserted at the
same position
as in the source presentation.
If any element is connected to a
data provider
, that data provider will
also be copied
to the new presentation (if it’s not already there).
Remarks
Pasted elements will
only
be placed at the chosen position if they
fit within the page boundaries
.
If they do not fit, the system will
auto-adjust
the position to ensure all elements are within the page.

specific position

Right-click
on the target position on the page.

Paste
from the context menu — elements will be pasted there if space allows.
