Capture - Copy and paste does not generate new refdes

$

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a schematic and I would like to copy one page of parts and paste it on another.  When I do this some parts aren't assigned a new refdes.  Instead I get something like 'U?'.  Even telling Capture to annotate that page doesn't give it a refdes.  Oddly enough some parts can be copied and pasted and get a new refdes.  I've gone into the presences and set 'Automatically reference placed parts' and 'Design level(Only PCB designs)'. 

I inherited this design from another engineer and I notice something odd when I go into the part properties.  I get the normal stuff but then there is an extra bar of information below that that is highlighted in yellow.  I don't know what this means but I notice that the refdes for one is U? and the other is U11.  Maybe this has something to do with it?  Thank  you for any suggestions!

Thanks,

Dylan
