IWBNI it were possible to copy and paste a selected set of text blocks to the clipboard. As it is now, the menu item Edit>Copy is disabled when a set of text block handles is selected. The contents of a given text block may be copied by selecting the text of the text block.

This feature would be useful, for example when copying a title page from one document to another, or when creating a duplicate of a given text block.

This could be implemented by enabling the menu items Edit>Cut and Edit>Copy when a set of text block handles is selected. The menu item Edit>Paste could be enabled after a set of text blocks has been copied to the clipboard. When a set of text blocks is pasted into a document, the handles of the newly created text blocks could be selected to allow one to alter the position of the text blocks immediately.
