It would be helpful in programming If we can use copy and paste in app inventor. It is very troublesome to re-enter each item. Is there any quicker way?

Hi Lam - can you be more specific about what you would like to copy and paste?

for example, I made 4 tables with 2 columns and 12 rows. That means there are totally 96 contents, Each time I have to set the width and height of each content. Can I set one content, width = 100 pixels and height = 100 pixels. Then I copy it and paste it to the table.

Hi
Wow - that is a mighty big table!
Certainly, being able to duplicate components would be very good - MIT have in fact experimented, so it should find it's way into a future release.
Are you sure that table layout, and all those buttons, is the best solution? I think you may have a claim to a World Record for number of buttons used but your App might not be very responsive, or ergonomic.

See this sample for how to use the Any blocks
and the component blocks to spread common attributes
across lists of components ...
