The following tools are available in the Application Toolbar:
Select All
...
Clicking the Select All tool selects all the objects (tables, labels, fields, Separators, etc) contained in the body/grid Form Builder allowing movement of the selected items to a different location.
To move the fields, click in on one of the outlined objects; while holding the left mouse button down, drag the fields to the desired position in the body/grid and drop the fields by releasing the mouse button. Note the entire selection was moved to the right in the Form Builder body/grid.
...
After moving the fields to the desired location, simply click in the body/grid or click the Clear Selection icon in the grid to de-select the objects, as shown below.
...

to paste the copied object(s).
...
After clicking the icon the selected object is copied
Copied and placed underneath the original object (in this example the Free Text field is copied).
Click on the original object and drag it to the desired location in the Form Builder body/grid. For this example, the new Free Text Field is placed in the grid below the field as shown in the following figure.
...
After the field is dragged and placed in another location in the body/grid, note the Text Properties. The Field Name is SPFORM_STREETFIELD_1 which is the original name for the field. When the second new field above is created and selected, notice the Field Name field name would be FORM_FIELD_2 as shown in the following figure.
...
The copied field will dynamically copy the Field Name and place an incremented extension of “_1” on the copied field. Since the field already contained the extension “_1” when the field was copied, the system incremented the extension by “1” and it became “_2”. If the same field is copied multiple times, the copied Field Names will contain incremented extensions of _1, _2, etc. on the copied fields. This allows Form Designers to create fields quickly. However,
Remember after copying fields, Form Designers still need to remember to add new Field Names and Labels and then create the relationships between the Field Label and the Form Field.
For this example, the Label “Street Address 2” is added to the body/grid Form Builder and the Reporting Label is changed to reflect the field as shown in the following figures.
...

However, if there are fields with conditional actions the conditional actions will not copy to the new or existing form and must be re-written.
