Thanks.  I've already found that useful.

Yes, the expression tool is fine in most contexts, but it's for page
attached text that I would like easier copying, retaining layout.  For
example, having the same two-line, centre-justified title on the title
page and above the first page of notation, as a centred header, but in a
different font size, requires that I copy the text into a block that is
left justified and positioned relative to the left margin, and then set
both justification and frame attributes a second time.  An alternative,
which might be less work in some situations, would be display the same
block on both pages, change the magnification of the title page with the
resize tool and change its margins to position the text.
