Create multiple button instances

Next you create more instances of the button symbol.

1. Select the button in the workspace if it isn't already selected.
2. Select Edit > Clone.

   A new instance of the button appears on top of the original button.

3. Hold down Shift while pressing the Right Arrow key repeatedly to move the new instance to the right.

   Holding down the Shift key moves the instance in 10-pixel increments. If necessary, use the arrow keys alone to move the selection one pixel at a time.

   Position the instance to the immediate right of the original instance, but not overlapping, as shown in the following illustration:

   
   
   

4. Clone two more instances of the button, and position each to the right of the previous instance.

   
   
   

   As a shortcut, you can press Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) while dragging the selected instance with the pointer to make a copy of it. After positioning the new instance to the immediate right of the previous instance, select Edit > Repeat Duplicate to automatically create and place another copy of the instance.
