Can one copy a text layer's content to the clipboard?

I have searched for this but have been unsuccessful in doing so...I want to be able to either;
   a: copy the contents of a text layer to the clipboard so that when saving a file I can simply paste and save or...
   b: save a file by the contents in a text layer.
My sole purpose is to make it so I don't have to type the name of a document that is created through data sets. What I have seen so far is that through scripting one cannot copy these things to the clipboard. Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you and I hope that I have been thorough enough.

You should be able to set up the data set so that the contents of the layer is the data set name. Then you can use File-Export-Data Sets as Files and have it save the files with the data set name.

  • Copy a text layer to another image in the same location

    I am trying to find a way to copy a text layer in one image to another image of the same size so that the text layer is in the exact same location.
    Basically I have two images for a rollover button for a website. What is the easiest way to copy a text layer to the other image so that it will be in the exact same location to create the rollover effect?
    Thanks!
    Nick

    Right click on the layer, Duplicate Layer, set destination to the other image file in the dropdown.

    There are still many CDs around that are designed to make it difficult to rip, especially those from the Warner Brothers group.
    Some that will not rip on a Windows machine will do OK on a Mac.  If you have access to a Mac try it there, and bring the resulting MP3s back to your Windows machine on a flash drive so you can add them to your iTunes library.

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

    I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3?  Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste...  It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes.  Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
    Seriously, am I missing something?  I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create.  So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
    Thoughts? Solutions?
    I am running 3.4.3 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.3

  • Can't copy Analysis Text in Premiere Pro

    Hello,
    I can't copy the Analysis Text in Premiere Pro. I had no problem analyzing the text. When I right-click and select "Copy All", it only copies the word I highlighted. I don't get the Copy All option when I right-click an empty space within the Analysis Text window.
    Please help!

    Hmm. It's working for me. In the Metadata panel, only one word is highlighted after hitting Copy All, but when I go paste into Word, the full content is pasted.
    I'm on CC7.2.1 on OSX10.8.5

  • How can I copy my text messages from a conversation to my computer

    How can I copy, text messages from one persons' conversation with me, from my Iphone to my computer for photo copying

    Your text messages are part of the backup of your phone, but to copy them to the computer and be able to read them, you need to use a 3rd party software on the computer. TouchCopy from wide angle software is a good program. I have used it in the past, and it will do much more than just text messages. Depending on the amount of content you have, they have a free version that has limited access.
