Copy and paste (re-use) symbols with same text

Question:

I want to have the same text appear for a certain symbol (without having to add text to the symbol after each time I add the symbol to the schedule). How can I do this?

Answer:

You can add a symbol to the schedule, then add symbol text to it, then copy that symbol to another task row, or elsewhere on the same task row.

The newly placed symbol retains the text of the original symbol.

After adding the symbol to the schedule and adding the symbol text:

Click .
Hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard.
Click and drag the symbol to another line (or another location on the same line).
Release the mouse button.
Release the Ctrl key.
