Copying and pasting objects

You can copy and paste objects such as texts, textboxes, tables, images and slides, within the same file or between different presentation files. You can also copy and paste the background color of textboxes, tables and placeholders within the same file or between different presentation files.

Procedure

  1. Click any of the selected objects.
  2. Press Ctrl+C to copy.
  3. Move the cursor to the slide that you want.
  4. Press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Note:
    • You cannot copy and paste a placeholder that includes only default text but no content between different presentation files.
    • When you copy and paste objects, it is best to use keyboard shortcuts because copy actions on the right-click menu might be prevented by the browser's security settings.
    • When you copy and paste objects (textbox/placeholder/table) between different presentation files, Docs will keep the horizontal and vertical alignment.
