Copying portion of file grom 21.09.2006 14:02:01 How do I make 30 copies of a portion of a file? I have a document with a large table in it. I want to open another document and end up with 30 of the same table in the new document. Copy and paste does it one at a time. Is there a better way?

Is there a better way? Of course. After you've pasted two copies into the new document, select both, copy, and paste at the end. You now have four copies. Select all four, copy, and paste to make eight. After two more cycles of this you'll have 32 copies, and you can delete the last two. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Re: Copying portion of file "CyberTaz" <typegeneraltaz1ATcomcastdotnet> 21.09.2006 16:22:11 Another approach... once you copy, you *don't* have to copy again - just click the Paste button (or Ctrl+V) 30 times. There isn't, however, a "Paste 30 times" command, and FWIW, my *guess* as to why is that having 30 copies of the same thing in a single document isn't a need that arises with any degreee of frequency . -- HTH |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "grom" <grom[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8F7A8561-B404-4B69-B90C-1C9443A69ED4[ at ]microsoft.com...
