Copying Pages in Page Layouts

If you have already created and configured a page in a page layout and want to create a new page that shares some of the same settings, you can make a copy of it. After the new page is created (which is exactly like the original page, except for the page name), you can change any of the frame content or other settings as needed.

  2. In the local toolbar, click the down arrow next to the Page Properties button .
