Duplicating Menus

Does anybody know of a way to duplicate a hand made menu and then "insert page"?
It is rather difficult to copy, paste, then place the objects EXACTLY where they were on the previous menu page(source). This causes the objects to 'jump' when navigating from page to page if you don't get it JUST right...
Thank you in advance!

Actually it is pretty easy to place objects where you want them. For easier results eye eyeballing it, enable the grid system. Then use the controls at the bottom to place objects EXACTLY where you want them. You have to drag and drop at least one object first. Then you can type in X Y values. It would be nice if it was more automated, but for now, it isn't.

You need to click show transform bar from View on the MEnu Bar first.

PS... your object "jump" if you enable snap to grid. You can disable that.

BillyBoy,
thanks for the timely response! I have used the grids for placement, I only need to adjust their initial positions to precisely match my 'title safe' parameters. but since I'm in a time crunch, i was hoping for a quick duplicating method, a la DVDWS.
And that is about the nicest comment I will make for that app. Thanks again!
