copy group to substack?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Charles,

To be frank, I don't understand very well the problem.
But just a thought:
You could try to copy your group on the first card (or not) of your  
substack, and then place it (see the place command) onto the other  
cards where you need it.
Hope this can help...
