Is it possible to copy elements within a page?

I am trying to create a sort of table. It will have two columns and unlimited rows. The first column will contain some images and the second one will contain some text, sometimes just a line or two and sometimes a whole long paragraph.
Then, before the next row I would like to add a horizontal line as a sort of separator.
I am having no problems with how to do this, but it is a very long-winded process of creating a multi column element, dragging in a picture element and a paragraph element and populatng them both, then adding a horizontal line element.

It would be so much easier if I could copy and paste reach row of elements down to the end of the list each time and then amend the text and images!

You would have to do custom CSS and abandon drag and drop methods. You should probably read up on HTML and CSS. Once you have figured this out you can copy and paste and it will be much faster.

Thank you for taking the time to respond Mofny.

I do know how to read and edit HTML, in fact I used to do a lot of background editing of HTML in the early days when I used to use Microsoft Frontpage (OMG how old do I feel now!!!!).
So, is it possible to start a Weebly page off in the weebly editor, then drop in to edit the background HTML, then view the page through the wysiwig weebly editor? (And of course then be able to amend it again and again as desired?)
Thanks for any advice or pointers you can give me.

Hi Catherine,

I have a lot of pages on my site with a similar format, and here’s what I do:

In the “Pages” tab, where all your pages are listed, there’s a button to the right you can choose that says “Copy Page.” So click on the page that has most of the elements and links you want for the new page, then click on “Copy Page.” The new version of the page will have an identical name, and appear at the bottom of your list of pages. I was so relieved when I discovered this feature–it saved a lot of time trying to re-do each page from scratch!
