    I'm a little confused about the multi-page tools.

    At the moment to copy a page to another page is a little unintuitive...

    • I copy the entire contents of the last page of my document.
    • I click the page tool.
    • I click, add new page
    • I click "move before previous". This moves all the content form the 2nd last page to the new last page I just created.
    • I do a paste-in-place. This pastes into the 2nd page the contents back
    • I now have the last 2 pages of the document have identical content.

    I have used this method to make my project, but now I want to copy something from, say, page 2, and past it into the last page, but have it paste in the exact same place relative to the page.

    How would I do this?

    After copy or cut, I'd select the desired page using the navigation in the status bar, thenΒ Β Edit>Paste... on Page.

    Before pasting, you need to move focus to the destination page by selecting or moving a shape.
