I notice that if I draw a box around an item then control c, control v, that first copy is offset as expected. &nbsp;clicking on a shape then control c control v. gets me a duplicate right over the item, which is different than 'before'.

that is bizarre, does ctrl+d function and offset the shape properly?<br />
perhaps it may be best to re-install visio if it is just one computer

a reboot solved it. &nbsp;Thanks for the control D shortcut. &nbsp;didn't know about that and even before the reboot, control d worked as it should and saved a step : )

Not sure what, if anything, I did, but now when I want to make a 2nd shape, I'll click on it like before, press control c then control V and the copy will be right on top of the 1st. &nbsp;Then if I press control V again, the 2nd copy is slightly offset. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
It used to be that the 1st copy would be offset a little also. &nbsp;That's what I want to get back - any copy will be slightly offset.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
