Hi,
I have a stack with many cards. Now field 1 of card 1 has to become a background object of all cards.
My problem is: how to do?
If I change the property of a group to act as a background, it is automatically copied in new card as a backgroud.
On the contrary copying background on new cards doesn't work.

Hi Max,

simply GROUP your single field and PLACE that new group onto every card you need.
Or am I missing something?

Also be aware that the fld property "Shared Text" with control wether the text in the fld is the same in all of the groups. Also note the Klaus specifically said place the group on each cd. Place is under the Object menu > Place Group. It's also a good practice to name your groups when doing this.

What everyone said.

But if you have many cards, you will want to write a short handler that loops through each card, placing the group as it goes.

Wow, PLACE should be in right click menu, I didn't find it.
Thank you all

Max

I too wish someone would give me a list of native words that I both should know and need to know. But these generally come when I am in a situation like yours. That is the power of this forum; somebody will know.
