Copy / Paste units?

Is there a way to copy and paste existing units without having to create new ones and keep putting in the waypoints , formation size , orders , skills everytime you want to create a new unit?

The way it is now is very inefficient and time consuming.

You can select units with ALT-LMB and drawing a rectangle around them and then rightclick and "Save to file". Then you can load it from file as many times as needed. ALT-RMB and draw a rectangle around them to deselect (or CTRL-LMB?)

Often it is easier to open the mission .mis file in Notepad, copy and paste needed text lines several times and change unit number and one of waypoint coordinates a bit.

I believe that you can just copy and paste the lines and the game automatically changes the coordinates and unit numbers for you. Haven't had much time to toy with it though.

Before we had cut and paste, dipping into the .mis files was the way to go, but that can be very time consuming.

And yes ctrl+rmb unselects a group of units.

And you are correct aswell squirrel.
