Bunches of images!

[Parable Bible Bookstore]

When lasering a clock today, as we were trying to move the clip art that we added, (while holding down the shift key so that it would stay lined up), instead of moving the clip art, it just copied it and pasted it where we wanted to move it. So, we ended up with multiple images in almost the same spot on the piece. What made it do this? Is it because we used the shift key instead of ctrl? We haven't had this happen before. Thanks!

You're absolutely correct, holding the shift key while moving makes a copy. Holding the control while moving key locks to vertical/horizontal movement. Holding the shift key while resizing causes the resize operation to be done relative to the center. Holding the control key while resizing causes the resize operation to be done in integer multiples (larger only, so 2x, 3x, 4x). You can hold both the shift and control keys at the same time if you want both functions applied (an aligned copy if done while moving or exactly 2x, 3x, etc. enlarged from the middle while resizing).
