copying from a template

I have an event ticket download with eight tickets, after I type the first
ticket how do I copy to the additional tickets. I cannot drag over the 1st
ticket to copy and cannot click and drag to another ticket. Nothing seems to
work. Thanks

What 'event ticket download'? What application are you trying to use
the template in?

Are you referring to the Event Ticket template on microsoft.com?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010185571033.aspx

If you are then I suspect the creator intended for you to type each
one. The 'look pretty' but since they used bunch of text boxes to
create the 'tickets' there really is no good way to easily modify one
ticket and copy/paste to the others. (A good template would have used
Bookmarks for each text box and REF fields for the other tickets. That
way you could change one and simply update the fields for the others.)

You need to either select the text in each text box and copy/paste to
the other text boxes, just type the information 8 times, attempt to
remove all of the duplicate tickets, group all objects on the first
ticket, and copy/paste the first ticket to create the duplicates.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
