Duplicating Drawing Objects
Summary: Need to duplicate a drawing object? It's easy to do if you use the same editing techniques you are already familiar with. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)The objects you create using the Drawing toolbar are made up of two types of objects—text and graphics. Many times you will have a need to duplicate an object in your drawing. You do this by using the Clipboard.
All you need to do is select the object (or objects) you wish to duplicate and then copy them to the Clipboard. This is most easily done by just pressing Ctrl+C. Paste the objects back into your drawing (Ctrl+V) and then move them to the desired position.
