Sorry, had to break for a while, other family stuff required attention.
Okay, to aid my understanding...
A test document has one page only, non of the frames in that page are
linked, the page contains obviously text, it also contains a lot of
diagrams, lines and arrows each in their own frame.
I do an Edit-Select All, then Ctrl-C.
I go to the new document page and do Ctrl-V.
I do not get a complete copy of my page transferred to the new doc page, I
just get text, no diagrams or the arrows and lines.
To do it the way you suggest (Well here anyway) I need to do that in two
operations, one to copy the text to the new doc then a second go to copy
just the graphics, this comes with the problem of setting in some guide
frames so that the graphics go exactly where they should on the new page.
So you cannot copy a mixture of text and graphics in one go... Well if you
can, I'd be really interested in the technique as I can't get it to happen
here.
