How do I copy design elements from one form into another?

Hello,

I have created multiple forms inside my Access document.

Created Forms

I would like all of them to have this little navigational menu that I have designed (so far it's in only one of my forms). So, I would like to copy this menu into the other forms.

Elements I'd like to copy

However, when I select the elements that makeup my menu, the “Copy” option becomes grayed out and I can’t copy my elements.

The "Copy" option is disabled

How do I copy design elements from one form into another?

 

Thank You for the help.

    put those object into a "new" form. next, make the "new" form, a subform for all your forms.

    You must have option to copy objects. Are you on layout view. Please open the form in design view, then try to select and copy.
