Rubber plant - how to propagate

[*SueW* 10]

My rubber plant is almost thirty years old and still in fine fettle. However I've had to prune it on many occasions to stop it taking over. As a result it is now a peculiar shape. How easy is it to propagate one or two of my healthy shoots and how do I go about it? Also would I be able to put the tree outside for the summer once all chance of frost has gone? Many thanks to anyone who takes the trouble to reply.

See this site - seems you can use a couple of techniques (never tried it myself though).
