Summary

When it comes to working with the objects you've placed on a page, InDesign provides several timesaving features. You can create a single copy of any object using the Copy and Paste commands (Edit menu), using the Duplicate command (Edit menu), or by Option+dragging or Alt+dragging a clone of the original. The Step and Repeat command (Edit menu) lets you create multiple copies of objects and position the copies relative to the originals . The Paste in Place command will paste an object at the same X and Y coordinates as the original object.

The Align pane (Window ‚ Align or Shift+F7) lets you align multiple objects and control the amount of space between them, while vertical and horizontal ruler guides and snap-to-grid features help you accurately position and align items.
