  3. Hold down SHIFT and select each additional text box you want to copy or move.
  4. On the Standard toolbar, click Copy Button image or Cut Button image.
  5. Click where you want to copy or move the text boxes.

Note  To copy or move some text from a story without copying the text box, select the text you want, and then copy or cut it. Do not select the text box.
