I have a report to write which forms part of a contract agreement. In order to ensure the operators print out everything that is required, I need to be able to duplicate portions of it.

In order to control the size of each page and duplicate their existing document, I have added multiple details sections. Is there an easy way to duplicate an entire section?
If I 'Select All Objects' within the section, I don't get an option to Copy. At the moment, it looks like I will have to copy and paste piecemeal.

You should be able to select all objects->right click->copy and then paste them all into another section. Make sure that you position the fields based on the "anchor" field--the one which shows the little squares on its edges. If you manually select the fields, one by one, this would be the last field selected.

I eventually found out wont get a Copy option with Select All Objects, when you have items which are linked OLE objects. I have replaced them with text objects and it all works OK.

It would have been simpler had the OLE import added the whole document and not just page 1 of an 18 page document which is mainly text!!

Thanks.
