Re: [libreoffice-users] How to copy a frame with its text and sub-frame contents?

Ok.  I had two problems.

1) I somehow got two copies of the file open simultaneously. When I tried to select the frame for 
copying, copy was not an option.

Once I sorted that out,
2) when I selected what I thought was the main frame (and, indeed, I had), when I tried to paste 
into the second frame, I saw offset copies of the two subframes, but nothing of the main frame with 
its background images and its text.

I finally discovered that I had copied everything, but that the main frame had been copied in 
place, right over the top of the original, while the subframes had been offset.  When I selected 
again, back over the main frame, and moved the selection, my copy moved.  Even better, when I 
dropped the dragged copy in the new frame, the sub-frame were magically restored to their correct 
relative positions in the main frame.
