Copying, Notes, and Points

I've recently been getting to grips with the business of copying stuff from one map to another, so as
to be able to make sub-maps, composites and the like.
In the course of this experimentation I've become only too familiar with the problems, mentioned in
numerous other threads, of copy to clipboard copying whole sheets rather than the selected entities, and
of paste pasting multiple copies into the target map rather than just one.
There's two things I've come to associate with this, though, that I've not noticed being mentioned elsewhere.
Maps that have had a lot of stuff pasted into them from other maps often have :
a) duplicate entries in the map Notes list
b) a pile of Points, typically 15 or 16, at 0,0
does anybody else see this, or is it just me?

Comments
For the multiple notes, I have seen that a couple of times myself, not sure why it happens. But it shouldn't affect anything, and if you don't like the duplicates, simply delete them (or, unless you plan to use the map notes to keep other non-template notes, simply ignore them.
I see my confusion arose because some templates hide the Template layer (and thus the points at 0,0)
while others don't
While checking that, I noticed that the duplicate Notes I quoted above are a quirk of the standard CC3
Overland template - you get them every time you use it
thanks again
