Duplicate textbox in powerpoint

Question

I see the "Duplicate" button only for the slides. How do I find it for the textbox? Inkscape, for instance, has such option to create the new object right at the same place as the source object. This is what I am asking for.

Solution

If you want to duplicate a textbox on a slide, just select it, then copy and paste. If you paste it into a different slide it will have the same properties as on the original (positioning, size, etc.); if you paste it back into the original slide it will be offset slightly so that it doesn't completely overlap the original. No duplicate button because this feature is covered by copy/paste.

This is a right answer for the question in the original edition but I want something more (see the edit).
