Hi Suzanne,
Cindy, do you have any information on or impression of whether there is a
difference between copying/pasting and using Duplicate?
No, I've never encountered anyone with the corruption problem who's said
they used "Duplicate". I think that command is so well hidden that most
people never discover it. (I know I forget it's there.)
The problem you describe with the multiple graphics is one I've encountered
personally, any number of times. You paste, think nothing has happened, try
again... And that can, indeed, damage the document at some point (even
without the "known problem" of adding text to an AutoShape). I think it
might have something to do with all the anchors sitting in the exact same
place.
