[Rwp] How to copy and paste time based selection?

Thanks, Juan,

Unfortunately, it's not working for me. Perhaps I changed some setings 
by misstake and my Reaper is not working as expected?

That's what I did:
1. Navigate to bar 2 using page up and page down.
2. Set start of time selection by pressing shift + alt + [
3. Navigate to bar 33 by pressing page up and page down.
4. Set here end of time selection by pressing control+alt+].
5. Select all tracks (output is: 7 tracks selected).
6. Control + c, copy (output: 7 tracks copied).
7. ESC key, remove time selection.
8. Again navigate to bar 32 and pressed control+v. (output: 7 tracks 
pasted... and, yea, it generates 7 more tracks).

In fact, if I try the same with only a track, reaper creates a copy of 
the track, not pastes my seleced area of items on the same track...

Any ideas? Or maybe I'd need to restore all setings...
