# 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

1. **Select** the page elements you want to copy (see *Selecting page elements* for details).
2. Click **Copy** on the **Home** menu.
3. 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

1. **Select** the page elements to copy.
2. Click **Copy** on the **Home** menu.
3. **Navigate** to another page using the navigation buttons in the **View** menu.
4. 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

1. **Select** the elements to copy.
2. Click **Copy** on the **Home** menu.
3. **Open** the target presentation (if not open yet), or click its tab to make it active.
4. **Navigate** to the target page using the **View** menu.
5. 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.

***

## Tip

* **Shortcut for copy/paste**:
  * **\[Ctrl] + C** to copy
  * **\[Ctrl] + V** to paste

* If you want to **copy an entire page** from one presentation to another, use the **Import Page Wizard**:
  * Click **Import Page** on the **Page** menu.
  * This will copy the whole page **including its properties**.
