Last Updated : Jul 11, 2013 |

About this task

You can copy a part, chapter, or other object in one publication and paste the object in another publication. But if you want to include the same chapter or part in another publication, the preferred method is to just add the chapter or part directly to the other publication.

Procedure

  1. In Publication Manager, open the publication from which you want to copy.
  2. In the publication tree, right-click the object to copy, and then click Copy. This can be an entire part, an entire chapter, or a link to another object.
  3. Open the publication to which you want to copy.
  4. Check out the map into which you want to paste the copied item.
  5. In the publication tree, right-click the desired location in the map.
  6. On the menu bar, click Edit > Paste Special.
  7. In the Paste Special dialog box, select Structure and baseline information and click OK.
