Cp5 - Pasting text from Notepad into a text box

I posted this message in the "Getting Started Forum" but there isn't a whole lot of activity in that forum.
Hopefully someone can help me because I have a lot of text to paste into a lesson.
This seems like such an elementary requirement and I am almost certain that I have done this before but...for some reason, copying text from Windows Notepad into a Captivate 5 text box just isn't working today.
Basically, the paste option is simply not available!
Yes, I can copy paste into other applications; Captivate is the only application that is blocking this Windows function.
If I insert a Text Entry Box, I am able to paste single lines of text (from Notepad) but obviously this isn't going to work as a text box.
Is this by design or has something gone haywire?
Question, how do I get pre-written text (i.e. from Notepad) into Captivate?
Thanks

Shawn,
I have had that happen to me too. I am always copying and pasting into my Captivate projects. But sometimes the paste option is just not available. What I have done, is to save everything and close the application and start it again. Seems there's a lot of little irritating things like that with Captivate, that's corrected with a restart. Hope this helps!

How to prevent SAP to copy a manually typed Item text from PO into Info rec

Hi SAP gurus
Could you guide me the configuration to prevent SAP to copy a manually typed Item text from PO into Info record PO text,
Thanks
Katta

Charlie,
I'm having trouble with copying text from Info Record to RFD.
When in Spro I put the fix indicator at <*> or <N>, the the system does what it should.
But when I put the fix indicator at < > blank, then no text is copied.
Is this normal behaviour ?

Outlook 2010 freezes when pasting text from email into filename

I use Microsoft Outlook 2010 (32-bit version), in a 64-bit computer (Dell laptop) using Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1. (I work in a company and can't change what version of the Outlook program I am using.) If I copy text out of an Outlook email,
and then go to save the email by printing it to a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat X Professional, and I try to paste the copied text into the file name I am typing for the email being saved/"printed", then Outlook freezes on me. I've
noted that I can copy text from other programs (such as WordPerfect X3 or Adobe PDF files), and successfully paste them into the file name without Outlook freezing. I can also copy text from an Outlook email, paste it as plain text into a WordPerfect
X3 document, and then copy that same text again out of the WordPerfect X document, and I am able to successfully paste the text into the file name of the email I want to save without Outlook freezing (i.e., moving the text out of Outlook and then back
again to Outlook somehow sanitized the text so it wouldn't freeze Outlook). Note that my office switched from Windows XP to Windows 7 a few weeks ago, and I also received a clean installation of Office at that time. This problem did not exist prior
to the change to Windows 7. Does anyone know what is causing the problem? Is there some setting I need to change in Outlook? (Maybe I had the Outlook setting correct in the old installation of Outlook, but the new Outlook installation wiped
out my prior settings, and the new default setting recently installed is creating the problem?)

Hi,
First please make sure your Office is up-to-date.
I suspect this may be related to some 3rd-party add-ins or the security software, first please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if 3rd-party add-ins are related:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem copying and pasting in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
Please also disable the anti-virus program temporarily to check if this makes a difference.

Pasting text from Word into Apex Textarea

Hi Folks,
I have a client that wanted to transform their Word forms (something like customer survey) into Apex screens.. every thing went great but they noticed that when they try to copy text from the Word forms into Apex textareas some characters will show as an up-side-down question mark. Some characters are the apostrophe , consecutive dots (...) and so on. I don't know what is the best way to handle that, I am thinking about writing a function that escapes those characters for a passed text and add up decoding to it every time users encounter a news bad character..but maybe somebody has a better idea...
Thanks,
Sam

We had the same problem. If you can't update the character set, which is usually a big deal, then you can always use javascript to change the textfield or text area before the user clicks save. We have onchange events on all of our items to catch when an item saves and sets a flag to do an autosave when the click somewhere else in the application. You could use a similar function to translate the characters on the browser before they hit the database.
If you're going to be searching on this data, you probably don't want to store the special characters anyway. They will have to type in the characters to search and some of the MS characters can be misleading and cause them to not find what they're looking for.
The array configured_values is a string array where the first index is the bad character and the second index is the value to replace it with
function madeChange(e)
{ document.getElementById('P0_MADE_CHANGE').value='TRUE';
     if(e)
          var string = e.value;
     //If it is a text-area or a text-field
       if(isNaN(string))
     { var aux;
          for(i=0; i<(configured_values.length)-2;i=i+2)
          aux= eval('/' + String.fromCharCode(configured_values) + '/' + 'g');
string=string.replace(aux,configured_values[i+1]);
     e.value=string;

How to create, place, format and paste the clipboard contents into a text frame

I am new to scripting and need help. I have an existing Indesign document. I need to be able to create a text frame on my current page, the width of my margins with the top of the text frame at the top margin and 1" in height, then format it to be 1-column, and then paste the clipboard contents into it and tag the text with a particular paragraph style. I am using Indesign CS4 on a mac, if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help.

May this will help you. It will create an anchored object with a text what you desired, with object style. You should create an object style before with the x and y co ordinates. You can choose either para style or character style.
var the_document = app.documents.item(0);
// Create a list of paragraph styles
var list_of_paragraph_styles = the_document.paragraphStyles.everyItem().name;
// Create a list of character styles
var list_of_character_styles = the_document.characterStyles.everyItem().name;
// Create a list of object styles
var list_of_object_styles = the_document.objectStyles.everyItem().name;
// Make dialog box for selecting the styles

with(the_dialog.dialogColumns.add()){
with(dialogRows.add()){

Importing text from word into indesign3

I am importing text from a word document that has lots of footnotes in it into an indesign3 file - I need to keep some of the formatting from the word document i.e italics and tabs however I need to be able to edit and reposition the 'word' footnotes within indesign - I don't seem to be able to do this without turning off the footnotes editing completely before importing? Is there a way around this?

Word is wordprocessor. iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
Copy/pasting formatted text always has unexpected results.
To overcome that, save your Word document as a html file.
Open it in a browser and then copy/paste the text.
iWeb will retain the formatting.
And Lion is an operating system. Just like a Mercedes is a car. Neither has anything to do with your problem.

Exporting Editable text from Freehand into Photoshop?

Anybody out there know how to do this? I use Freehand MX and would like to bring my text "live" into Photoshop to edit there if need be. I use Photoshop CS2.

Use 'Copy Special' and Paste.
1. Insert FreeHand text tool in text block and drag to highlight the text.
2. Edit>Special>Copy Special>Unformatted Text.
3. In Photoshop, with text tool, drag to draw a new text box.
4. Paste. Text will take on currently active Photoshop attributes of font, size, color, etc.
I don't know of a way to get editable formatted text from FH to Photoshop. However, if you have Illustrator CS4, open the FH file there. Highlight the text and copy. In Photoshop, paste into a new text box. Font, color, and perhaps some other formatting will be preserved. I haven't used text with tabs, kerning or other text formatting attributes.

Copy formatted text from Pages into Mac Mail loses formatting

Hi,
I have a document template I use in Pages that eventually gets copied into an email for sending (rather than attached, it's the actual email body).
Issue is, when I copy from Pages into Mac Mail, the formatting is horrible.
The closest I have to a workaround, though still not 100% (just way better) is to Export the Pages file to Word format, open the document in Word, copy the text there and paste it into Mac Mail.
It can't be this awkward, can it?
Thanks!

Couple of options:
Use command shift 4 and draw around the table with the mouse curser ~ a png picture of your table will be on your desktop ~ use attach in mail and tick send windows friendly attachments too.
You could also save Numbers as pdf ( Under the print option) and attach that instead.
No doubt there are other ways.
Best

Copying text from internet into Appleworks

Hello!
So, I would like to copy some exact text, same colors and fonts, from a web page on Firefox into Appleworks. When I paste the selection into a word processing document, the text comes up, but it pastes in Lucinda Grande text and with black ink. Why is this? Is there a way that I can paste the exact colors and font into a document? I looked through the Help Viewer pages, but I couldn't find anything on this topic.
Thank you!
-Kat Forster

In addition to Niel's excellent suggestions, have you tried another web browser? I think this could be a limitation of FireFox. I just copied & pasted text from a page (my home page) from both FireFox & Safari. Text from FireFox changed to Lucida Grande in all black text, text from Safari pasted as Times with underlined blue text for the links, just as they are on the page. I used this page because I know that the page has the text as a default serif font.

Auotmating Text from Word into InDesign

Here is my situation: I am the graphic artist and layout person for the company that I work for. We produce layouts that have a pretty consistent format. Each layout has definite text sections. These text sections are written by the research editor and put into a single word document. I then have to copy and past the various text sections into the layout in InDesign.
I know that if my Research Editors worked in InCopy it would elminate the need for me to copy and paste the text from word doc into the the layout document. The problem is that one of the editors is a contract worker that is outside the office.
I was wondering if there was some way to set up a template in word. The idea would be that once the document is finished it could be imported into InDesign in a way that it would automatically populate the the text sections in the layout.

Well you know what I mean, by copy and paste. I place the text in first to preserve the formatting.
This seems backwards, to me. Is the "formatting" in the Word document based on styles? If it is, you can map your InDesign styles to your Word styles on import. If it's not, then I find it much faster to change the formatting into styles immediately upon import.
If you're not using any defined styles at all in your InDesign document, then yeah, I guess that copying and pasting is faster and a better way to preserve the manually applied formatting in Word. But why do that, when using well-defined styles in ID can be significantly faster?

Copying text from carrier into PO

I have set up the following process. I linked the standard partner role CR carrier to the vendor master and the purchase order to make carrier determination possible.
Meaning in my vendor master I added a carrier, meaning when I create a PO for that vendor the carrier will be assigned. Now I have a text on carrier level "shipping instructions" which I would like to see on my PO. But when I create my PO and I check the header text "shipping instruction", the text from the vendor is copied and not the one from the carrier.
When I check customizing I can define all kind of copying rules but I'm not able to refer or set up a copy ole based on partner roles.
Is there a way doing this without enhancement?
Thanks
Walter Goris

Thanks for your prompt answer, but the problem is that the carrier text is stored at carrier level which is only assigned with a partner role to the vendor. Creating another text on vendor level isn't a solution as I can have more than 1 carrier for a vendor. During PO creation the correct carrier will be selected from the partner role. at that moment the text from the carrier should be taken over.
Example: vendor A has carrier X and carrier Y. Carrier X has a text X and carrier Y has a text Y.
When I create a PO for vendor A when I save the system will bring me a pop-up to choose between carrier X & T. When I select X, the text X should appear on my PO but in my current set up I get the text from vendor A.
You see a solution for that
Thanks

How to read header text from VF03 into smartfrom

Hi all,
i want to print header text from vf03 in smartforms
bye

Hi,
Tcode VF03 enter Billing Doc no -
>goto header-----> select header texts
When you get the values Textname, text id, textobject to the smartform.
call the FM read_text in the programing lines to get the long text in the internal table. Another way to retrieve the long text is to use INCLUDE but for your requirement is better to uses READ_TEXT function module.
Once you get the data in the internal table.
Create table and loop the long text internal table. Now in the table when create a text node, keep a condition on the text node in the conditions column that when sy-tabix = 3. Which means you are skipping two lines (Administrative data).
Procedure:
1. Right click > create-> programming lines.
2. In the Input parameters pass TEXT NAME, TEXT ID, Text Object and Interanal table(itab) and In output paramaeters the Internal table (itab).
3. call function Read_text and pass the values.
4. create a table for Itab.
5. create a text node.
6. Keep a condition on the text node sy-tabix = 3 in the condition tab of the text node.
7. &itab-line&
