For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Word, click here: Duplicating Drawing Objects.
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.

ctrl+d duplicates the selected drawing object without placing it in the clipboard. You can then move the duplicated object to where you want.
