I am trying to work out if it is possible to have a document, say A4, split up in to quarters that all duplicate onto one another or that mirror from one quadrant. Basically, I would like to have a very small menu printed 4 times on an A4 paper but do not want to copy past and align, but just work in one area. Is this at all possible? Does anyone have any ideas to simplify this work?
Thanks!

Yes, I do the same thing very often. I have written this feature request a couple of times
A very old image editor, "Canvas" which was bought and abandoned by Deneba, had the capability to create a "Master" image that allowed for making "Clones" of the "Master".
The "Clones" could be moved anywhere or aligned as needed. But any changes made to the "Master" were applied to each "Clone". Plus you had the ability to specify any "Clone" to become disassociated from the "Master" - that is no longer affected by changes to the "Master."
For example, in PixPro usage, you could create a complex multilayer group and define that group as the "Master". And as you do now, you could create five "Clones", or copies, and move them around, align as you like - BUT now you have the ability to fix typographical or image errors in each "Clone" by making the desired changes to the "Master" - it was so sweet.
Canvas also allowed selecting any shaped area, like PixPro's select tool, to copy some part of an image - and be turned into a "Master" for duplication as Clones" everywhere. I would LOVE to have that capability in PixPro. I think I'll look for my old feature request an attempt to revive it.
