Drag-A-Copy


If you need to create a large number of the same object on the same flipchart page, try the Drag-to-Copy feature the is available from the ctrl-click (right-click) menu. Here's what you do: Select an object on your flipchart page and control-click (ctrl) on it. Select Edit/Drag a Copy. Now when you move your mouse over it, it changes to the Drag-A-Copy cursor (A green circle with a plus sign in it). Every time you click and drag the object you will create a new copy of the image.
This is great for counting exercises or lessons that require many "refrigerator magnet" letters to construct words.
(Thanks to Cindy Henard for reminding me of this tip)
