Microsoft PowerPoint: Duplicate Duplicate
You may have the copy and paste function down to a science, so it’s time to learn something new. If you do a lot of copying and pasting in PowerPoint, try the Duplicate feature. Duplicate can be used to duplicate text boxes or images on a slide, or slides in Slide Sorter view.
- Select the object or slide to copy.
- Press [Ctrl] [D] OR go to the Edit menu and select Duplicate.
The item will be copied and pasted. Do this several times for several copies. Duplicate slides will be inserted following the original. If you are duplicating objects on a slide, they will be cascading overlaps.
If you would like multiple duplicated objects on a slide to be set at a specific interval apart, first duplicate the object and then move the duplicate to the appropriate location. Every subsequent time you duplicate, it will be at the desired interval from the previous duplicate.
