Place a group on all cards

I have a stack with 1000 cards. When I created the stack, I grouped a number of fields and labels, set the "Shared Group" and "Behave like a background" checkboxes to true and then replicated the cards. Those fields and labels appeared on all the new cards. So far, so good. However, I realized I needed a set of buttons on all the cards (same set of functionality). How do I do this? I can't seem to select the "Place" command (it's disabled). Am I just missing the command in a menu somewhere? Do I need to script this in some manner? (Place group "PrevNext" on every card of this stack, etc.?)
Thanks,
Barry

Well, I fooled around a bit and came up with a button script that apparently did the job:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
repeat with i = 1 to the number of cards
if there is a group "PrevNext" on card i then
-- do nothing
else
place group "PrevNext" onto card i
end if
put "Card "& i -- Just so I see progress while it's working
end repeat
end mouseUp
I guess I thought there'd be one menu item that would just accomplish this but I always am looking for the
do what I mean button.

Hi Barry,
no automatism or menu item in the IDE for this, your script is the way to go!
