I know I can add a module to multiple pages that already exisit but if I change the content of one of the modules it reflects that change on all the pages where the module is displayed. Is it possible to add multiple instances of the same module but then alter the text within that module on different pages so it's different from one page to the next?
What I'm trying to achieve is to add a Text/HTML module titled "Page Contact" which has a specific container and has the content "This page is maintained by:" onto every page on my site allowing me to then add a name to reflect the person responsible for the page so one page might say "This page is maintained by James Wakefield" and another "This page is maintained by A N Other". I know I can do it if I recreate each page by Copying a correct page and copying the modules from that page, but the pages already exist and have content on them.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received

You would have to simply copy the item, and not set it as a "Reference'.

Doesn't that only work when I'm creating new pages? I've already created my whole site - the inclusion of the additional module was an afterthought. I know I can copy pages and therefore modules as "new" "copy" or "reference" but i don't know how i can just add a reference copy of one module.
