Duplicate Command for form controls or different behaviour for copy/paste
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:34:47 UTC
I have a form with a background image for positioning form controls. I have to put controls all over the page. I'm starting formating one TextBox with properties I like (flat, border color, font size...), then duplicating this everywhere. The rest is resizing. When duplicating I need a Duplicate button, since Copy/Paste is working bad in case of a page without paragraphs (everything is in the background image). Cannot manage to record a macro because de-select is not recorded. My commands to duplicate a TextBox: 1.select TextBox 2.press Ctrl-C 3.if I press Ctrl-V whithout deselecting first TextBox nothing happen !WRONG! 4.if I deselect TextBox by clicking anywhere in page there are 2 cases. If I am at the beginning of page it is ok, but if I'm down on the page, trying to insert a control there, my page scrolls up to the first paragraph. !WRONG! 5.press Ctrl-V and I get what I want, a duplicate of TextBox control. Please eliminate step 4, and leave object selected but allow Paste or ADD a new menu/shortcut for DUPLICATE object.
