Open the editor and select the library then select the component you want to copy Change to your own library (best to save your mods to a sep. lib as the standard libs can get overwritten during upgrades)
Change the Value Field in the component and then save. Remember to save to file as well as to memory. That will copy the part. Not finding the part after prob means that you saved to memory and not to file.
