Copy and move project items
This topic explains how to copy and move project items. You might want to copy project items for a variety of reasons—for example, you might make a copy of a query and then change the query criteria slightly. If you are organizing your project, you might need to move items into a new folder.
What do you want to do?
Copy a project item
To copy a project item, select the item you want to copy and then do one of the following:
-
Use the Copy and Paste commands—on the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Copy (⌘+C), then select the new folder location and then click Paste (⌘+V).
-
'Drag and drop' to make a copy of a project item in another folder—find the item you want to copy, and then find the folder you want to copy it to. Drag the item to the folder, pressing the ⌘key when you drop the item.
NOTE You can convert certain types of project items by copying them into a different system folder. For example,.if you copy a document and paste it into the Memos folder, it is converted into a memo.
