  • I'am trying to copy pictures from Print Shop to send as a e-mail, not an attachment but putting the picture in the actual e-mail. The lettering from the Print Shop document will copy and paste but the picture will not. How do I get it in the email?

    I create a document in Print Shop Delux download pictures from that program to make a flyer. I'am trying to send the flyer to someone and they do not want it as an attachment so I'd like to send it in the body of the e-mail. They lettering on the flyer copy and paste but the picture will not copy and paste. How do I get the picture to copy and paste in the body of the e-mail. I can't copy and paste the whole document because in did a insert text box for the picture.

    Click the image , hold your mouse button, drag it and bring it to Firefox window from task bar below and release it into the body of your e-mail.Works on Gmail, Yahoomail , Hotmail....May not work on other e-mail service providers.

  • When composing an e-mail in Hotmail, if I copy and paste a URL, it is not clickable like it would be in IE

    When copying and pasting a link, it is not clickable (see below)
    http://www.google.com/

    Just above the text area that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).<br />

  • Cut/copy and paste on the iPad I get extra text

    When I cut/copy and paste on the iPad I get extra text symbols like "%". Is there a way to just copy the text without the extra stuff? If I copy from Safari and paste into an email I have to go and erase all the extra text.

    the % is usually caused by spaces. It's an HTML 'glitch' in that, in the brain and logic of HTML, there should never be a space, so when it sees them it inserts % to fill that void that it's logic says isn't there.
    I'm not sure if there is a work around beyond maybe pasting it first into a text document, then from there into your e-mail and see if that makes the symbols go away.

  • How can I copy text from a PDF document in bb pbk?

    I've tried to copy a text from a PDF document but adobe reader doesn't give me that option. How can I do it? or there is a better reader for PDF that allows to copy, make bookmarks, to highlights?

    If the PDF is not an IMAGE, you can using a free program called PDF-XChange Viewer from Tracker Software. If the PDF was done as an image then you will not be able to select the text.

  • Copy and Paste InDesigne gives inserted graphic, not object!? Bug or "feature"?

    When I copy and paste any object in Indesign (Vectorgraphics, Rectangle, Textarea, everything) it isn't pasted as another object, it's paster as an inserted Graphic. I use Creative Cloud, updating automatically. Is this a new "feature" or a bug? Copying and pasting an Object -> i want an object again (editable and with the same color etc) and not an inserted graphic. Can I change any settings for that or something? never had this problem before!
    I would really appreciate your help as it's really uncomfortable in the workflow even though i could understand it would increase performance and reduce data volume.

    I have problem like this with indesign cs6 and windows 7, when i copy and paste frames it paste as there is graphic inside with a content grabner, my work around is from windows start>all program >go to indesign and run as administrator. Hope this may help.

  • Copy and paste of an element does not seem to work in the web page design??

    I have tried to copy and paste of an element BUT it does not seem to work in the web page design??

    Hi;
    The copy and paste keyboard commands in the app are controlled by Flash Player, sometimes there are issues with a browser/OS combination, make sure that Flash Player is up to date and if that doesn't help try another web browser.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Is It Possible To Select And Copy Text From A PDF Document ?

    Occasionally I would like to copy and paste text from .pdf documents.
    I have not found any way of doing it - is it impossible ?
    If it can be done - how ?
    Ian.

    Well, first off, if the problem pdf was made from a web page, then the text on that web page probably wasn't built as html text. But that's not your problem. As for the pdf itself, you have a couple options, although neither of them are as good as being able to copy/paste the real text.
    1) Use a screengrab (Cmd-Shft-4) of the text you want. This will create a .png file on your desktop of the area you selected. You may be able to insert this into Appleworks, although by nature it will still be a lo-res image, which won't print that great. May still be better than what you got originally. If you can't insert the .png, you can open it in Preview and save it in another format.
    2) If available, you could open the problem pdf in Illustrator or Photoshop, see if that works better. Some pdfs, depending on where they originate, can be text-editable when opened in Illustrator (although the fonts used must be installed on your Mac to show up correctly).
    Finally, if you like, you could email me the pdf or URL and I could take a look at it to see what I can do to help.

  • P6 v7 Copy and Paste Project - Activity Codes are not applied

    When copying a project and pasting it, when the new project is opened the activity codes are not being assigned to each activity. When pasting, all copy options, wbs options and activity copy options are selected. The activity codes exist in the new project when the Activity Code menu is selected from the Enterprise drop down box. However they are not being assigned to the activities as they were in the initial project.

    Thank you for your response,
    At the project level the default Security Profile is Project Manager, so i suppose this would be the level i am on. All of the privileges are turned on.
    I am not sure if i was clear enough above, but i am able to add codes at the project level. My issue is that we added hundreds or more codes at the global level and were then instructured to move them to the project level. Rather than rebuilding everything I used Cut and Paste to move them to the project level. Since doing this, adding codes to new activities as well as modifying the codes mentioned above has become problematic.
    At first it seemed to work, but I think that even though they are represented in the project level, they are still considered global codes. When adding columns, the codes are still represented under a heading named Activity Codes - Global, rather than Activity Codes - Project. everywhere else they are shown as global.
    Anymore advice?
    Thank you!

  • How can I erase text from a PDF?

    how to erase text from a pdf

    Hi iggybuskus2,
    If you want to edit text in a PDF, you'll need to use Acrobat. You can download a free trial of Acrobat from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html, if you'd like to give it a try.

  • Copying and pasting filters - WHY don't keyframes copy and paste?

    A couple of months ago I posted about an issue I'd found with FCP (I'm using 4.5/OS 10.3.9 now, but I think I've had this problem since back on my old G4 system using 2.02/OS 9.2.2). Simply, when "Pasting Attributes", and selecting "filters", the filters thusly pasted do not - I repeat, do not - contain keyframes.
    I received a bunch of pooh-poohs from the cognescenti, basically telling me I was crazy and that on THEIR systems pasting filters worked great. However, I've just tried to paste filters a second way, and gotten the same result. When I open the filters tab in the Viewer, and copy/paste the filter, the filter pastes fine...but with no keyframes.
    I've tried placing the playhead at the first frame of the segment, on each keyframe in the effect, and at the last keyframe. The filter pastes with the initial (i.e., first keyframe) settings intact, but contains no keyframes.
    Obviously, the workaround is to drag the filter into the Browser and drag it back onto the segment. No problem doing that...however, I just wanted to let all you doubting Thomases know that yes, Houston, there IS a problem.
    However, upon researching this subject in the Apple Discussion board (thank god for tabbed browsing!), I notice that this is accepted behavior in FCP - several respondants noted that filters paste while keyframes don't. Why, then, paste the initial filter attributes from a copied filter? If yer not gonna paste the entire filter with keyframes, why not just paste the basic settings from the filter menu?
    Also, let me note this: AVID lets you paste keyframes...(OK, OK, so its filter/efx setup is totally klugey compared to FCP...hey, I want FCP to have it ALL!)

    Cognoscenti? You mean the elitists? Man, those guys are such jerks.
    If I'd been reading the thread I'd have said, "You can't paste keyframes on filters. Hasn't worked since v3.5. Stupid programming change. You must use paste attributes, replace content."
    This is not a workaround, it's the paradigm. I usually do this: painstakingly set up effects, filters, motion and other attributes in a clip that sort of stands by itself. Select and duplicate or paste this master clip somewhere convenient so I have a copy of it. Go back to browser to find the next clip to which I wish to apply this same collection of mods, load it into the viewer, or not, and copy. Select the master clip, paste attributes, content only.
    Also, let me note this: AVID lets you paste keyframes...< </div>
    Oh, you're one of THOSE! So does After Effects but neither of those apps were designed for Apple. What's an Avid?

  • Is there a way to copy and paste a glossary, for use in a text that would be separately published by unit?

    I just submitted my first textbook, and it only covers the first quarter of my course.  I'm planning on submitting the others as I finish them.  One problem that I think I will encounter, is that if I create each quarter as a separate iBooks publication, I won't have the continuity of the glossary throughout each publication. Another option is to simply add to the first quarter publication, using the same iBooks Author file, and publish the text as the 1st and 2nd quarters, then the 1st through 3rd quarters, then the 1st through 4th quarters, removing the earlier versions as I publish a newer version.  (Why not just finish it, and publish it once?  Because I'm currently teaching the course, and I want to make the material available as soon as possible--also, it's a course on computer programming, which is a subject that rapidly changes.)  I've seen other iBook publications by the unit, and that has inspired me to consider publishing my text in four smaller installments, one for each quarter of a year-long, 2 semester course.  But that brings me back to the problem of having one continuous glossary that would function in all four publications.
    Any and all ideas are welcome!  Thanks!

    You're right, but I'm a little under the gun with my employer to get something out there, asap, and I unfortunately have a full time job that doesn't allow me to commit a block of time to finish the text in one shot.

  • I can't copy and paste on my mac, can't also drag files.

    any ideas how to fix this?

    When you used Safari reset it clears alot of accumulated data stuff. Perhaps you can do some maintenance proceedures which can help. Here is a link to a tip sheet by user d s store explaining how to do some of these things.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    Some to consider would be:
    2: PRAM reset
    7. Hold Shift key boot for "Safe Mode"
    11: Disk Utility > Repair Permissions
    12: OnyX cache cleaning
    If you want to try to delete the Safari prefs then this would be the way.
    13: Corrupt Preferences files
    Just be sure to export the bookmarks ( under the Safari file menu) so that you can import them if needed after trashing the Safari prefs

  • How can i edit text on a pdf document on acrobat i professional

    can anyone please help me, I've got acrobat 8 professional and i'm trying to edit text, can i do it and how can I do it?

    You wrote: I have tried creating the background image as a pdf . . .
    The whole thing is already a PDF.
    What application are you using to try and make changes?
    Are you now using InDesign to recreate the gift voucher?
    Or are you opening the Photoshop PDF and trying to resize the live text layers?
    There shouldn't be any issue with making 120 pt text. I just created a 250 pt text layer in PS as a test.
    Have you enlarged the text box? If the text box isn't that big. making the text larger make cause it to overset and no longer be visible.
    Grab the corner of the text box and drag it to enlarge it.
    If things aren't working correctly, it would be faster to recreate the gift voucher in InDesign.
    You mentioned having the background image, just add the text are you are ready to print.
    After rereading your last post it is unclear who will be adding the text for the money amount.
    Are you adding this yourself before printing, or are you hoping to give a PDF to the client where he can add/change the money amount?
    Things like this need to be mentioned upfront.
