How to: Copy and Delete Form Controls

When designing or modifying a form, you may want to make a copy of a control that is already on the form. You can copy an existing control and paste the copy onto your form.

To copy a control

  1. Using the pointer, select a control.

  2. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

  3. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

  4. Use the pointer to reposition the control as needed.

If you create a control and then decide you don't need it, or don't want a control created by a wizard, you can remove the control.

To delete a control

  • Select the control and choose Cut from the Edit menu.
