Can anyone help????

I have a building with 5 levels very similar in detail. So the general slab sections will be typical between the floors. Can you detail the sections on the first floor and then copy the section marks to the other floors?????

So far I cannot seem to be able to do this without the detailed section spaning all floors (which is not what I am chasing).

 Any ideas

You won't be able to copy section marks to other levels, but you can place sections without recreating the view.

Click on the section tool, in the options bar select "Reference Other Vew". Select your view out of the menu and it will link to that view without creating a section of its own.

This may be simple but it SUCKS.  On a multi-level project the details will be drawn from the lowest level framing and then all of the other levels will use the same details.  These bubbles need to be copied to the other level views.  As it stands, I need to recreate each bubble.  On my current project that translates to at least 25 bubbles that I have to manually create, place and reference for each and very level.  This is probably the most error prone operation I have found in Revit.  It is taking me at least 4 hours per floor and than it all needs to be manually checked to make sure that the references are correct.   This does not fit into the parametric mantra that Autodesk likes to brag about and definitely needs to be changed.

Actually once you have made a set of the referenced callouts, they can be Copy/Paste Aligned to the other views. You can create your original callouts and then got to your next level, recreate those callouts as reference callouts, select all reference callouts you want to copy and click Edit-->Copy to clipboard. You can then open each view you need the callouts in and click Edit-->Paste Aligned-->Same place and it will place all the callouts in the same location they were on the original view.
