Sorry, I can't follow your question. What are you trying to achieve? Why are you using copy and paste so much in your scripts? It is fairly rare that this is needed.

Has someone given you a tagged document and you have to reorganize it?

What are you trying to end up with?

Have you studied the relationships (particularly what can be the parent of what and what collections a particular object has as a collection property)? I know this is hard to discern from the scripting reference, but it is the key to everything. Draw a picture showing what belongs to what and it will be a lot clearer working out how to do things.
