Can you copy a Zoom Region?

I'm working with a course where I would like to have "the same zoom" on multiple slides. I found how to change the zoom speed, but I don't find anything that tells me the zoom size and position.  I also don't seem to have functionality to copy and paste a zoom region from one slide to another.  Is there anyway, other than eye-balling it, to make identical zoom sizes on multiple slides?  The timing will be different, but I want the size and placement to match.

  • I would like to add my voice to the chorus here--I would love to be able to copy a zoom region to another slide layer, keeping it the same position & size as the original.

    I'm just guessing;  I suspect that they are thinking that we developers will duplicate the previous slide and then rehash the Zoom for the next slides. That's OK for new projects, but it can be tricky/fiddly to do when updating modules.

    Not Perfect - but one get-out-of-jail card is to just use the standard preset zoom size, that can be dragged to each of the four corners. This can easily be replicated on the later slides.

    However, this does not let Articulate off the hook. Come on guys, enough already!
