I'm a little uncertain how you're trying to do this. Are you using a script? In the upcoming release of 1.5.0, there are commands to separately copy and paste objects, which means you can copy, go to another page, then paste a copy. I agree that trying to do complex things by editing the XML is not the way to go. Greg
