Copying, duplicating, and deleting tab controls
You can copy, duplicate, or delete tab controls and all the objects in a tab control.
Note  If you select and copy locked objects, the copies will be unlocked. For more on selecting objects in a layout, see Selecting objects.
To copy, paste, duplicate, or delete a tab control:
1.
In Layout mode, select the tab control.
2.
 
Copy (or cut) a tab control, then paste it onto the same or another layout, or into another database file
Choose Edit menu > Copy (or Cut). Click with the arrow pointer where you want the tab control centered, then choose Edit menu > Paste Layout Object(s) (Windows) or Edit menu > Paste (Mac OS).
Or, hold down the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Mac OS), drag the pointer to a new location, and release the mouse.

Notes
 •
 •
Any tab control you cut or copy stays on the Clipboard until the next time you choose Cut or Copy (in FileMaker Pro or another application), restart, or turn off your computer.
 •
Use the Duplicate command to create a series of identical tab controls. After choosing Edit menu > Duplicate, drag the new tab control to the position you want without deselecting it. Choose Duplicate again: the new copy appears in the same position relative to the first copy as the first copy is to the original object.
