Copy (Edit control bar or Ctrl+C)
Copy the selected object to the clipboard. The object remains in place in the document
(refer to Object Handling (on page 77)).
Paste (Edit control bar or Ctrl+V)

Or right click and choose PASTE.

Paste the clipboard contents into the selected document (refer to Object Handling (on
page 77)).

Sometimes, when you paste the contents of the clipboard into a document, it could be
inserted using several different formats. If this is the case the PASTE SPECIAL dialog box
will appear so you can choose a format. See Cut Copy and Paste (on page 77) in the
Object Handling (on page 75) chapter for more detail.
Paste unformatted text

Pastes any text on the clipboard into your document without any formatting.
Paste in place (Ctrl+Shift+V)

The same as Paste, except your object will be pasted in the exact same position from
which you copied it. This is useful for moving objects from one layer or page to another,
without changing its X/Y position

Paste format/attributes (Ctrl+Shift+A)

Preserves the format (e.g., font and font size) or style attributes (e.g., line and fill color) of
the pasted object.

Paste position
This option applies the position of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently selected
object, which moves to the exact same position as the copied object.

Paste size
This option applies the size of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently selected
object, which resizes around its center to the exact size of the copied object.
Paste size and position

As the name suggests, this option applies both the size and exact position of the object
on the clipboard, to the selected object.

Paste replacing selection
This is similar to PASTE POSITION, except that the copied object on the clipboard replaces
the currently selected object and retains the deleted item's position. The copied object is
pasted into the center position of the deleted object.
