This menu item allows you to decide how Calamus will copy frames, and whether multiple copies should be made. When you click on the entry, the following dialog box will appear:
Here you can tell Calamus to make basically only physical copies
or only virtual copies of frames; alternatively you can instruct
Calamus to display a dialog box each time you make a copy, giving you
the choice between physical and virtual copies; or you can select
Retain copy status
, which instructs Calamus to make physical
copies of physical frames and virtual copies of virtual frames. The
concept of physical and virtual copies is explained in the Frame
module function group section Tools
.
To make multiple copies of a single frame, enter the desired
number of copies in the No. of copies
field. If you do not want
the copies to lie directly on top of each other, you should use the
next fields to instruct Calamus how far it should offset each copy. A
positive or negative value for Horiz. offset
will place the
copy to the right or left, respectively, of the original frame. A
positive or negative value for Vert. offset
will place the copy
below or above, respectively, of the original frame. Values in both
fields will offset the copy diagonally. To change the unit of measure
in the spacing fields, see Page module, Set units of
measurement
.
