Title: [SOLVED] Text box won't copy and paste
Post by: PelesDaughter on April 06, 2026, 04:46:34 PM
Hi everyone,

I am designing a document to print and need it to have the same text box on the top half as the bottom. However, despite that I have done this dozens of times before in other documents, it is not working. I have tried control-c/control-v, and going through the menu to select Copy and Paste manually. Nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any support. :'(

I figured out what was going on. For some reason, many empty text boxes and at least one text box with my desired text had been superimposed on top of the original box. This was different than I had experienced in the past because I had always pasted onto a new page, not the same page. Problem solved.
