It was the ability to paste a bunch of precisely positioned guidelines from one master page to another that I was looking for.
I know it is the positioning you want, but for others it is worth noting that drag and drop copy also works between documents.
Drag and drop copy/move is powerful and quick, it works for objects, selected text and pictures, within pages, between pages, between documents and between OP and other applications, took ages to implement, and I suspect is rarely used.
It is however lumbered with a weird dependency on the shift key which controls if a move or copy takes place.
