InDesign Middle Eastern CS4 copy/paste problem

Hey guys,
I usually work on the US version of InDesign CS4 on a Mac... But for a series of projects I need to do for Dubai, I am using the ME InDesign CS4 on PC.
Sigh.
Now, my problem is, when I copy/paste what our translator sent us from WordPad (I don't have Word installed on the PC side ) It is flipping my text around.
Now, I bought the ME version of InDesign to avoid this problem, as I knew it would be a problem with the US version... So what am I doing wrong? I was following this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/450951) and feel like I have the exact same problem that person had, all the way through to the end.
Can someone further help me out? I need to be able to use this... I have to send everything to press next week!! (eek!)
Thanks,
Jenn
FYI--I am trying to use Arabic.

First of all, you can (should) place the text. Why are you copy/pasting?
Make sure your text is set to use the World-Ready Composer. If the
document started its life in InDesign US, the default composer is
going to be the non-World-Ready one.

InDesign Middle Eastern (English interface) version

InDesign Middle Eastern - English interface version. Will it work for standard Western English as well? Will it work left-to-right as well as right to left? Will the resultant InDesign files be openable by another user with a standard Western English version of InDesign? Are there any other issues that I should be aware of, such as when generating PDFs or printing?

Will it work for standard Western English as well? Will it work left-to-right as well as right to left?
Yes.
The Middle Eastern version of InDesign is fully capable of producing "standard" English LTR layouts as well as ME RTL layouts.
Will the resultant InDesign files be openable by another user with a standard Western English version of InDesign?
Yes.
Since CS4, both the RTL and LTR layout of InDesign ME can be opened by the non-ME version (or the "standard Western English version" as you refer to it) since all the RTL functionallty set to the document by the ME version is supportted by the non-ME version.
Are there any other issues that I should be aware of, such as when generating PDFs or printing?
Nothing special I can think of.

InDesign Middle Eastern: Hebrew vowels under resh and dalet. Accents collide with vowels

I am using InDesign CS3 Middle Eastern. When importing Hebrew text from Microsoft Word formated with quality fonts such as SBL Hebrew, I have two problems:
1. Vowels under the letters resh and dalet do not appear under the vertical stroke of the letter but centered in the middle of the letter width. In Microsoft Word they appear in the right position, just under the vertical stroke of the consonants. See the image.
2. Accents (cantillation) appear in some cases on the vowels (mixed with the vowel); the OpenType features that make the vowel move to the right to allow enough space for the accent do not work. See the image.
Please, could anybody tell me, whether these problems have been solved in later versions of InDesign Middle Eastern?

If you are in fact using an OpenType font that supports advanced
diacritic placement and substitution, you can enable that by going to
the flyout menu of the control panel and finding the "diacritic
positioning" palette. There, in the dropdown, should be the option to
choose OpenType positioning.
I'm presuming this was available in CS3, but I can't actually remember
for sure.

Request for feature of Next Version of Indesign Middle Eastern Version

For Adobe Team,
Request for Feature of Next Version of Indesign Middle Eastern Version
About Character and Paragraph Style Sheet in Next Version of Adobe Indesign Middle Eastern Version
Make an option for Latin Font style and Unicode/arabic font style.
We have work in both language English and Arabic or Urdu with same document or same paragraph.
For Guidence see this image of InPage Urdu Programme.
Thanks
Safwan

Ooh, InPage! I'm so glad that I don't have to work in InPage anymore.
However, that feature that you're looking for was actually a good one. It won't do you any good to ask for it here, though; you want to go straight to WinSoft. They make the ME edition, not Adobe.
However: World Tools suite from in-tools.com has the feature "Apply Latin Character Style" which does what you want, more or less. The main paragraph style would be an Urdu RTL style, unlike your InPage example. Unfortunately, going in "the other direction" World Tools only has "apply Hebrew character style." It's still worth a look for you, I think.

Click 2 call and excel copy/paste problems

Recent posts from late May claim that the click to call issues were resolved in late may. Today is June 21/12 and I resolved the problem yesterday by un-installing the click to call program. Prior to that cut and copy requests were losing the marquee around copied cells and when target cells were right clicked the context menu did not include Insert Copied cells.
Some problems may have been addressed but the problem still exists. It's too bad because click to call was a good feature.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The problem was identified and fixed already in an update to the Click to Call toolbar in April: http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2012/04/skype_click_to_call_fix_for_of.html

Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern CS6

Hi
Where is the link to Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern CS6 Trial Download?
Thank you

There are a lot of easy scripting solutions.
You can type your hebrew forward and then select it and then run this script
app.selection[0].contents=app.selection[0].contents.split("").reverse().join("")
before
after
There are better ways of doing this but I'm scared Harb's will beat me up or even worse not answer my questions on the forum so you should go for In-Tools plug in.
It seems that one can get creative cloud in Israel now and if not it must be coming very soon as the adobe Israel site is full of it.
If you have a US, UK etc. address then you can for sure sucribe to it from Israel.

IWork(Keynote, pages and numbers) doesn't work well about the issue of copy & paste problem

I think so, too. the Keynote 6.5 is not working well on Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10.1).
In my case, I can't copy & paste from some program(particularly analysis program in my case) to Keynote.
So, when I check coping & pasting the graph or image and so on to Powerpoint and other programs (one of Office is such word and 3rd programs), It works well. However It doesn't work at Keynote, page and numbers.
Also, I tried to do the following process to solve this issue
======
Something is wrong with your installation of Keynote
Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using AppDelete.
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and      click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
====
It doesn't work! Anything doesn't change.
In conclusion, I didn't solve this yet!
Plz, solve this problem or fix it!.

This is a double posting, please only post in one discussion at a time.
Keynote 6.5 is stable and reliable under Yosemite for most users.
As with all new operating systems and applications, a small number of users find a few problems.
Copy and pasting text from and into Keynote from all the applications I have, work perfectly: the applications include; Safari, Mail, Word, PowerPoint, excel, Pages, Numbers, iMovie, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator.
If you want to place graphics into Keynote, use one of the following methods:
Insert > Coose
click the media button on an image placehoder
click the media button on the tool bar
drag and drop from a Finder window
Copy and pasting images into Keynote is not supported

Copy & Paste problem stops working

I've been experiencing an unusual issue with the copy and paste function on my MacBook Pro. The copy & paste function appears to work fine after I've restarted the computer, but after a short period (can be hours or days) the copy & paste function stops working. Instead of copying the highlighted section (usually I'm copying text) when I go to paste the text, all I appear to get is one space. As I use this feature countless time in the run of a day (copying from mail, Daylite, NeoOffice, Text Edit...)this is turning out to be very annoying.
I have recently re-installed "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11Intel.dmg" to see if that made any difference, and everything seemed to be working great for about 5 days, then the same issue started again. If I shut down and re-start my Mac, it seems to offer a temporary solution to the issue.
I have not tried re-installing the operating system.
Thanks in advance.

Amazingly, I found this looking for a fix for the exact same problem. Mine started today, though it could have been yesterday as I don't remember using copy or paste yesterday.
The one change I have made in the last 48 hours is that I installed the MS Office SP 1 update that just came out. I know it was working right after that update because I was using copy/paste in Word.
The other difference I've found is that a restart doesn't seem to fix mine. I just restarted and still no copy/paste - just a single space instead. And you're right, it doesn't matter what you copy, it always pastes just a single space.
I've tried CMDC/CMDV and the menu items to the same effect.
I hope someone has an answer.

Copy & paste problem in photoshot CC

Hello,
we have a problem whit photoshop cc and Yosemite system.
The function copy & paste does not work more.
If I try to copy text from pdf(whit editable text) or Preview (with editable text), in a fist moment it copy it, but when i try to copy in photoshop, the program take the command but a few second later it makes to see the message " the appunti are empty or not valid"
Help me please, not is possible that the Adobe have this bug or non solve it
For my work it is very problem
thank a lot
Giambo

Now you're describing a more specific problem with interfacing between Photoshop and Illustrator. I do not have Illustrator or even Acrobat. You could use my way and use Acrobat Reader. If the PDF is not locked it can copy text to the clipboard and that text can be pasted into Photoshop CC 2014 text tool as my append showed.
As I wrote I don't have Illustrator perhaps there are ways to copy layers between it and Photoshop like Photoshop can duplicate layers from one document into an other document. Maybe drag and drop layers between Illustrator and Photoshop. I use a PC so I don't know what bugs there may be in Mac OS versions. Or how they may effect Adobe applications versions.. There are usually more then one way to do things in Photoshop.

Dear Bonelia,
http://forums.adobe.com/people/boneliaI would like to inform you that This error is caused by one of, or some combination of, the following three system settings
   1. incorrect clock time.
   2. incorrect date.
   3. incorrect time zone.
When you download an PDF or epub, the Adobe activation records timestamp information from the Adobe activation server. This information is stored inside the book. When you attempt to open the book, this information is compared to your current system information. If your system has an incorrect time/date/time zone, then the activation server disallows the request and you cannot read the book.
Solution ) Carefully check the machine's system time, date, and time zone they should be correct according to your location.
I hope this will help you.

Copy/ Paste Problems...

I can't copy/ paste...when I use shortcuts or use edit/copy it acts like it works but when I look at the clipboard it is blank.
If that wasn't frustrating enough...I am not able to drag any files. I can't move anything on my desktop or within any folders.
I have no idea what I did!
Does anyone have any helpful hints?
Thank you!

Do you use time machine?
If you do then perform a repair of your OSX system. This should ensure that all system files are correct, sometimes on HDD files can get lost or broken. You may need to reinstall the system all together. If this doesn't work then thats me out of ideas sorry.
PS even if you don't use time machine then you can perform a back up of essential files on removable media if needed. Time machine is just easy.

IMovie Going Crazy-- Copy/Paste Problems

When I am trying to copy/paste pictures and transitions from one project to another, iMovie is copying a totally DIFFERENT picture multiple times into my existing project. Also, when I try to create a new project and paste, it doesn't paste anything.
Any help is appreciated.

You can copy and paste video clips from project to project, but I don't think you can paste audio tracks or photos or titles.
If you want to make another version of your project, I suggest that you go to the Project Library View and select your project. Then click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a new name.
The Duplicate should by and exact copy. You can modify from there.

Hi,
When we right-click a word that is marked with red or blue underline, it will pop up the suggested corrections context menu. It can give you other options, such as adding the word to your custom dictionary depending on the Microsoft Office program that you
are using.
If you want to copy such words, you can use Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V to achieve the goal. Or, we can right-click the word and then select
Ignore All or Add to Dictionary, and then you can copy the word by right-clicking it.

Copy paste problems with iphone 4s 8.1 upgrade

I want to copy a few words or lines from Safari (a webpage) to a text message or email, but ever since I upgraded to 8.1 on Monday (three days ago), only an old copy (a url I copied on Sunday) will paste.

Hi Diane ..
Tap Settings > Safari then tap to Clear History and Website Data
Then reset the device.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then open Safari and try to copy / paste.
