Copying and Pasting Distributions

  To copy and paste a distribution within Favorites or another user-defined category or from one category to another:

1. In the Distribution Gallery, click a category in the Category pane.

2. Click a distribution in the Distribution pane.

3. Choose Edit, then Copy or right-click and choose Copy from the menu.

4. Click Favorites or another user-defined category in the Category pane.

5. Choose Edit, then Paste or right-click and choose Paste from the menu.

   The distribution is pasted into the selected category. If another distribution in that category had the same name, the new distribution is displayed with the next larger number at the end. For example, if the category already had Normal1, a new normal distribution would be named Normal2.

6. To rename the copied distribution, click its name and wait a moment. The name is highlighted for editing.

7. Type the new name and press Enter.

8. Modify the new distribution as needed.

   Note:

   To easily copy a distribution from one category to another, select the category with the distribution to copy. Then, drag the distribution into the closed category folder where you want to copy it. When you select that category, the copied distribution is displayed and you can rename it or modify it as described in the next section. However, the distribution you copied remains in its original folder, unchanged.
