Working with Page Elements
Copying page elements
Page elements can be copied within the same page, 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.
To Copy Page Elements to Another Page in the Same Presentation
- Select the page elements to copy.
- Click Copy on the Home menu.
- Navigate to another page using the navigation buttons in the View menu.
- Click Paste on the Home menu.
- The elements will be pasted at the same position as the originals.
To Copy Page Elements to Another Presentation
- Select the elements to copy.
- Click Copy on the Home menu.
- Open the target presentation (if not open yet), or click its tab to make it active.
- Navigate to the target page using the View menu.
- Click Paste on the 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.
- To paste elements at a specific position:
- Right-click on the target position on the page.
- Select Paste from the context menu — elements will be pasted there if space allows.
