Copy Row or Column

To make a copy of a row or column, use the duplicate options. Depending on your requirements, you can create a copy that:

  • Reuses the text, so that the original and duplicate contain exactly the same para element. If you edit the para element, the changes will affect the original and the duplicate.

  • Copies the text, so that the original and duplicate contain the same words, but they have unique IDs. You can edit the text in the duplicate and it will not affect the text in the original. Similarly, you can edit the original text and it will not affect the duplicate.
