What are you trying to achieve? give us a screenshot

Can you not duplicate the layer with the text on it and move it out of the compound

I see what you mean now, it will not let you pick out a group of nodes to copy and paste

First thing to mention is that in Affinity a Compound is a very specific type of object (a live Boolean) - I don't think you are dealing with a Compound in this sense.

I think you have a Curves object (some text which has been converted to curves), and you want to duplicate a letter, right?

You could…

  • Select the Curves object
  • Divide to break into all the separate letters
  • Group, so that the existing text remains intact.

Now you can Control + Click to select an individual letter and Copy Paste at will.

Note: For letters with holes (like the A and R) you will end up with 2 Curve objects (singular) - probably best to Subtract the holes to get a single Curves object (plural).

Note: i and j will have a separate dot, which you should probably Add to the body to get a single Curves object.

Hope that helps, as I can't think of a better method, other than finding the original font!
