Problems copying and pasting multiple slides from one captivate to another.

I have been able to copy and paste several slides into
another captivate and suddenly this has stopped working. I am using
the ctrl key to select multiple slides (a set of 3) and the using
the Edit drop-down to select copy slide. Then, I click on the other
captivate and click paste slides. It is only bringing 1 slide, the
first one, and not the 2nd and 3rd... any ideas. I've had another
set of eyes look over my shoulder... and we're both scratching our
heads.
Also, for some reason the text entry boxes are being copied,
but the failure caption associated with it does not come along. It
also copied the button but lost the association with the text entry
box. WTH?

This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
solve this glitch in my experience.
Good Luck

How do I copy and paste vector art from one layer to another, keeping all of its attributes?

When I copy a vector shape from one layer to another, the shape picks up the color attributes of an existing shape in the second layer (or sometimes only the outline of the shape appears). What to I do to avoid this from happening (I just just want to paste the shape in its original form and color)?

OK - I guess this is a little more difficult than I imagined...
Merge Layers rasterizes all the vector shapes - I want all the shapes to stay as vectors in the second (pasted) layer.
Merge Shapes changes the color of the copied vector shape - I don't want to change the color
Shape Layer via Copy [Ctrl] +[J] copies the layer containing the vector shape, but doesn't paste it into the second layer
Any other ideas? Or, is it possible that PhotoShop doesn't support varied colored vector shapes on the same layer? I am coming from an InDesign background, and there was no issue having many different (colored) vector objects on the same layer.

Problems copying and pasting a head from one photo onto a body of another photo

I used the magnetic lasso tool in PSE8 to trace around the head
and then copied it from the edit menu. Opened the new photo with the
body I wanted and pasted the head into the photo. Instead of just the head, a
white margin was around the head and it covered up part
of the shoulders on the body and background of the picture.
How do I just copy the head without the added white margin around it? My last
PSE version was 3 so 8 is a big jump for me.

Hi,
Select the head via any ool and create a layer via copy from right click.
Now open the destination image and drag this layer to that image and move around it using the move tool. It works fine on me. If this doesnot fix the issue, please let me know the exact steps.

some people have reported issues trying this with content not being found etc...
On a sidenote: I am pretty sure that in some of those cases what actually happened was that people opened Logic immediately after installing or copying content, and then expecting Logic to find this, but the Spotlight index (which EXS24 and NI's Kontakt use to find samples) was probably still busy updating.
This can take a few minutes up to half an hour or more (e.g. after installing big sample ibraries).
A pulsating dot inside the magnifying glass Spotlight symbol, on the top right corner of the screen, indicates that the Spotlight Index is being rebuilt or updated. Other indications are active MDS and/or MDWorker processes; those can be seen in Activity Monitor.
(these processes are usually open, the CPU % is what matters)

Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

The same cuts that I have in this clip that i performed with the blade tool, I want to duplicate, copye, paste and apply to another clip. I want the cuts to mimic and be an exact same. I wish i could highlight the clip, click copy and then highlight the other clip and then click paste and the cuts apply.

Copy and paste multiple texts from Word to Indesign

Hello!!
I would like to simplify multiple operations where I need to copy multiple text boxes from a Word doc into multiple boxes in Indesign, and be able to specify the exact location of each box in the Indesign doc. For example, I would like to take 7 text boxes from a Word doc and copy them separately into 7 boxes in the Indesign doc, rather than have to go back and forth into the Word doc. 7 times and pasting each text box one by one.
See the screenshots
Thank you in advance,
Enrico

That looks a lot like case for Data Merge. It won´t give you any tools for copy/pasting multiple textboxes but with little work, you could make a template where you could drop multiple Items like you have in your screenshot. It won´t work with docs, but if you can convert your stuff to excel, then it would be quite nice solution for you.

Move (or copy or cut and paste) entire sheet from one document to another.

I have several sheets I want to move from one document to another and retain all formatting and spacing, etc.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

On the left of the screen is the list of sheets and tables and charts. Select the sheet. Copy. Paste into the same area (i.e., in the area where the sheets are listed) of the new document.

Is there anyway to copy a selection of slides from one project to another and keep the linkage?

Hi all,
I've created a 'template' type project, with a selection of slides all containing styles of lessons. Some of these lessons are set up in a way that they use several slides, linked to one another in one way (or several ways). The linkage is conatined with selectable objects on each slide (e.g. clicking this object will jump the user to the 5th slide)
Basically, the linkage is important to the set up. But when i take these slides from the template project and create a new project with them, the linkage all disappears and defaults to 'go to next slide', thus screwing up the setup of the lesson.
I tried to create the template as a means of saving time of design with the upcoming creation, becuase these will be used over and over again. I could manually link up each slide again every time i bring them into a new project, but before accepting that I thought it worth asking anybody if they know how to copy in a sequence of slides and have them keep their linkage?
Thanks in advance,
Rich.

So effectively there is no workaround?
Shame there isn't an import item in Captivate dedicated to inter-Captivate projects.
The only thing I can think of is to work over the top of the 'template' project, keep the slides needed for the lesson i'm owrking on, delete the rest, then rename/save as something new.

Copy and paste? What app are you using?
When you tap on an image and select copy that usually copies the URL of the image.
Save image copies the image to your Camera Roll.
Most apps have an Insert choice that inserts an image from your Camera Roll into the document you are working on.
But if you tell us which app you are using, we should be able to provide more exact info on how to get done what you want.

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

CS4 problems copying and pasting masked items

The problem: Copying and pasting a placed image combined with other Illustrator art with multiple gausian blurs that have been masked/grouped. Placed image type does not matter. PDF, JPG, TIFF, etc placed in Illustrator CS4 (or 3). Some images are complex and others are not.
What happens: After copying and pasting, the masked (grouped) image breaks apart into separate components that are no longer masked/grouped. Happens with different files with different images on different computers. WIth or without text in document. Sometimes image pastes correctly but most times it does not.
Hardware/OS: 3 separate iMacs (20" and two 23") all with intel chips but different processing speeds. All running latest and most updated version of Leopard. All with 4 MB Ram and more than a 100 GB of free hard drive space.
Software: Illustrator CS4 (latest update) and CS3 on one of the 23" iMacs.
Solutions tried so far: Ran Onyx, repaired permissions, scripts, cleaned caches, zapped PRAM and on one iMac, ran Disk Warrior. Tried in Safe boot mode and tired with a new user account. Created new files with new images and tried old files. Tried opening files from the server and from the desktop. Threw out illustrator prefs and emptied trash.
Thought it may have to do with font conflicts but some files don't have fonts. Turned off font management programs (Suitcase on one iMac, Font Explorer Pro on others, all updated to latest version) and restarted so only system fonts loaded. No luck. Turned on fonts used in various documents, still no luck.
Thought it may have to do with memory issues after copying masked items. Sometimes the copied image would paste correctly and then the next time I pasted it, it would not. Before pasting a second time I would copy a small item (to clear the memory) and then paste it and then recopy the masked item and paste that. Still no luck.
Checked activity monitor but nothing looks to be a memory hog or out of place. Happens on all three iMacs and while the OS and Illustrator are common to all three, Fonts and font management tools are not. No weird plug-ins or third party extensions installed. Plus it happened in safe boot mode so all extraneous fonts and such should have been deactivated.
Curiously, if I drag copy the masked item using the option key, the masked item copies fine. I know this can be used as a work-around but I would like to resolve this as sometimes the designers need/want to use command-c/command-v.
Not sure what else to try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

Copy and paste multiple text layers DW CC

I searched around and couldn't find a good solution to an issue I am having. I am solid with DW but by no means brilliant, so hopefully this doesn't come across as completely ignorant. Basically, I have a 400 plus page website that I have to do updates on often.. the way the client wanted it designed makes it problematic for updates regardless of my informing him that doing it differently could save us both a lot of problems, but at the same time, the site is actually perfect for what it is due to how it was done and no templating based site out there can do what it does so I am stuck with it for now. Each of the 400 plus pages has 6 individual text layers that had to be laid out according to the individual photo on each page, very specialized. My question is, is there a way to copy and paste multiple layers in DW. Small updates are fine, but larger updates are a nightmare due to the text issue and page numbers, and believe me, I have been up and down and around about how to make it easier.. but, that said, if I could copy all six layers at once and paste all six in the new document, life would be a lot easier on this project. I also tried linking the layers and sending them, but that doesn't seem to work for some reason.
Any thoughts guys?
Thanks much for your time.

Thanks Jon, I will give that a try at some point, I am more on the designer end of things but I could manage to find the layers and give that a shot. I would love to show you the site, but the owner is very security conscious and only allows certain parties to see the site. I don't have any knowledge of background driven sites as web design is more of an extra thing when a client just really wants me involved. I am fine with the repetitive work.. if what you suggest works, it breaks my job down by 6 times and that would actually be a huge relief. Though I am over paid and hourly and the client has plenty of money, I just stop enjoying what I am doing with it after a bit to the point that I don't want to do it anymore regardless of the money. I have thought of subcontracting someone with more experience in the arena that could make it database driven like you are saying, but, it is just such a monster that getting someone else involved (especially with a client that keeps it so close) will be more work than it is worth. Fortunately, I think there will only be another update or two and then it will be finished as a collection. The site houses a world renowned textile collection half photo half info about the pieces.. my method thus far has been to keep the photos laid out in Lightroom, where I output the monster site in one of the simple flash sites and then add the text in DW.. I take the new photos and html and connect them to the new site and front thumbnail pages with my original which I have kept adding to over the years. To a degree it is decently quick and efficient, but when he drops or buys more than 10 pieces, and then needs to change photos, thumbs, and add text to anywhere but the last few pages, it can get into headacheland. With a major change, it would be faster for me to just reoutput the whole photo based flash site from LR and then copy and paste all six layers on each photo.. but as you know, that has been my issue thus far and what I get for only having my toes into a program.
Thanks for your reply..

I am trying to copy and paste a story from a blog. I can only view the first page on the Pages app. How do I see the rest of the pages?

Thank you. That helped in the first step. I was able to copy text onto multiple pages.
Now I can't get the pictures to copy. How do I get my pictures to copy?
Also once the blog page is on pages, how do i make changes to it?
This my story and the page I am trying to copy.
