Copy pages or queries from several reports to a new report

I need to create a report that will have several pages. Some of the information required is contained in existing reports. Is it possible to copy pages and/or individual queries from one report to another? Just trying to save myself some time  ;)

Yes, copy your queries 1st, then the pages.

If I may suggest an alternative to the page/report objects copying, you may want to look into using Layout Component References in your new reports, based on the pages/objects in your existing reports.  This will allow you to maintain these objects in one place and the references will proliferate those changes to all the reports.   **Note: You will still need to copy the queries.

Thanks for answer. Have just tried it. Didn't figure it was as simple as copy and paste. Doh!
