Strange characters when copy/paste from Word

Hi,
I have in Word u2018hellou2019 and when I paste it in the Notes of IR and save it, it turns into 018hello 019 so the apostrophes transform into these strange characters.
I checked with Notepad, Excel and Wordpad and this issue does not occur, only for Word.
Do you know why this happens ?
It should be a Word/IE setting as this issue does not occur on a Terminal Server. Only on usersu2019
workstations.
Thank you

Hi Shiva,
Some styles for font of rich text aren't be kept when I copy the content from Word 2013 and paste into a wiki page from SharePoint 2010/2013(even SharePoint 2007 like this
post) site as same as yours, it looks like a limitation.
As a workaround, we can publish the Word content as a Blog article in SharePoint site, then copy the content from the blog page to the needed SharePoint page, it will keep the rich text content format, you can have a try.

Automatic downsizing of an image when copy-paste from .doc to .docx in word 2010?

Hello,
I was changing the headers of a series of word documents (some .doc, some .docx) and, in spite of inserting the image from a file in each one, i just copied and pasted the image from one to another after a first insertion.
My source image was a 300dpi rgb jpeg: i noticed that, when coping it from a .doc document to a .docx document the image automatically downsizes to 150dpi and becomes a png; Is there a reason for it? Is there something I am doing wrong? Where can I eventually
control that setting?
Many thanks!

Enable copy-paste from Word to PDF

Hi,
I was working in PDF, copy-pasting words from Microsoft Word that needed altering, when suddenly this function was disabled. I can still paste text from Word into a new text field in PDF, but not in a Sticky Note or in Text Editing. Also, I can't copy-paste anything from the PDF into Word anymore. However, I can still copy-paste things from PDF into PDF (same file, and from other files). Does anyone know what's going on? How can I enable the copy-paste function again?
Thank you.

Hi Deepak,
The problem was in Word not Adobe. After closing Word and opening again, I could copy-paste again.
Thanks.

Garbled text when copy-pasted from a pdf document in Preview

I have this PDF document which I created in NeoOffice. When I copy some text from it, then paste it somewhere (or just go to Finder>Edit>Show Clipboard) I see garbled text. Or, if I go into the search field within Preview and type a word which I know exists in the PDF, it doesn't find it. But if I copy-paste it from the PDF document window into the search field, the copied term appears garbled in the search field itself, but I do get search results.
This happens only with this particular document, which I myself produced. No password/encryption or anything weird; just a straightforward print job from within NeoOffice.
Any clues? Many thanks.

happens to me all the time in preview, copying something that I need to paste, like a URL. Quitting and relaunching usually solves it, but now that won't work on the text I am copying today.

Rolling credits - Copy/paste from Word - straight line

We create our rolling credits in Word, sometimes there are 100-200 student names. We create it in Word, centered, looking great and when we copy and paste it into the Text-rolling credits, it comes out as one line. We then have to manually place a return between names. Is there something I can do in Word, or somewhere that will make it so we don't have to do this tedious task.
Thanks so much in advance.

The only way I've ever been able to get text looking even close to the way I want it to look is to type it directly into the window in the text generators in Final Cut. Simple centered lines of text shouldn't be a problem - I'm curious as to why you do this in Word first instead of typing right into the generator.
I have had overall better success with text using Title 3D except that it's completely incompetent for 2-column centered text like you see in most scrolling credits.
w/r/t Word, try saving your document as plain text, then open it in Text Editor to do your copy/paste. (Or just use Text Editor in the first place.) I suspect the problem you are seeing is coming from Word's DOC format.

How Can I Maintain Layout when Copying/Pasting from Web to Pages?

Whenever I try to copy and paste from a webpage that lays out text appearing to be in two columns (such as at http://nfs.sparknotes.com/hamlet/page_2.epl) using Firefox or Safari into either Pages or Word 2004, I lose the page layout. Instead of placing the text left and right, it alternately places one line from the left above another from the right.
I try to Paste and Match Style but that doesn't help. Does anyone have a suggestion? Is it my browser settings? Word processor preferences? One of my students is able to do it properly using, ugh, a PC, so I know it's possible with one of those things.
Thanks.

Other than taking a picture of it (a "screenshot") and pasting it into Pages as an image, you cannot. What you see in a browser has very little to do with what the source actually looks like -- the source is just text with the intended display instructions imbedded. That's why the text lines viewed in a narrow browser window will break differently than when viewed in a wide browser window. When you copy from the browser window, you'll likely get the text string without any of the formatting html tags.

Slightly distorted aspect-ratio (and missing alpha channel) when copy/paste from Photoshop

Maybe this is an old topic (but I didn't find anything on google or this forum):
When I copy images from Photoshop to Flash, the aspect ratio of the bitmap gets distorted. A 728x90 Bitmap becomes 727.6x90 (and so on...). The dpi is set on exactly 72 on both programs. Is there any way to JUST get a 1:1 pixel copy? (except using another program like Irfanview as a "man-in-the-middle")
Although I selected "32 bit color w/alpha" in the clipboard settings of Flash, the alpha channel seems to get discarded when copying from Photoshop. Shouldn't it at least work with Photoshop? I mean, it's an Adobe product after all and maybe the most commonly used together with Flash.
Would just be nice if a copy-paste between PS and FL was an easier thing.
I know there can also be a pixel-aspect somewhere (like used for video productions and wide-screen), but I didn't find settings for that anywhere.
I still use Flash Professional CS5.0

I'm on windows7 with CS5.5 and transparency and size are copied over just fine. You answered what would be my first question, 72dpi. How about the image mode. Are you using RGB 8bit?
I've had lots of issues with the OS not handling transparency very well also, such right-click on an image on a website that you know is a PNG and has transparency, then paste it into photoshop, the transparency isn't saved.
The route that always works (but is a PITA) is of course to save it as a PNG with transparency and just import it.

Muse 2014.2 crashing when I paste from Word

Then it keeps asking me "Why are we using paste?"
Which is strange. Muse isn't copying over those awful Word styles, is it? Doesn't seem to be.
I've been having some MS Office crashing issues. Now I'm getting them with Adobe Muse as well. Any ideas?

In fact, it's doing it again and I caught the whole error for you. I decided to move the Word document text to Notepad because I was tired of Word crashing. I've been copy/pasting and turning text into italic and bold where needed, as well as adding links. And I'm crashing regularly now. Adobe doesn't exit, but the only thing I can copy/paste is the error message below, unless I close out and come back in again.
Error
Adobe Muse CC has encountered an error and will now exit. Please report the last few actions you took leading up to this error to the Adobe Muse CC team.
Expected to be able to paste page items. Why are we calling paste?
OK

Prohibited characters when copying text from Adobe InDesign onto SAP

Sap 4.7 Mac gui 7.10 rev3
Text is written on a MAC in Adobe InDesign
Text is then Pasted into the outbound delivery through transaction VL02N
When entering the text against the outbound delviery the characters get changed and the following error message appears
Appl area 00
Message number 195
error message appears saying the input field contains prohibited
characters
These prohibited characters get changed to #
for eaxample
"Please leave with neighbour"
goes to
#Please leave with neighbour#
Any ideas how i can stop this happening?

That is an interesting idea but is still really a lot of unnecessary mucking around when GoLive 9 should do all this automatically with no fuss at all. I have been using GL since its early PageMill days and never had this problem before.
I understand what you mean by using a blank page - I might give it a try.
I found CS2 was getting slower and slower on my PowerPC. I now have an Intel iMac. Sometimes I would go to open a GL file and I could make a cup of tea waiting for it to open (admittedly it was a large file with lots of table cells and photos). Now I can open the same file in a few seconds using GL9. I looked up the Adobe support for 10.5 and it was listed as having issues which wouldn't be resolved. Photoshop Elements 4 was listed the same yet I had had no problems with it. A friend had huge problems with InDesign when he changed to 10.5. I guess it varies from computer to computer.
Only yesterday my GL9 refused to open and thanks to these forums, we found out that yesterday's Opera browser update was the culprit. Having had such quick success using these forums I thought I would give this annoying copying problem a try and see if there was some setting I could change or something I could do to correct the fault.

Desperate for help! indd crashing when copying/pasting from illustrator

i have cs2; updated programs for indesign and illustrator; on my new imac
i have a bunch of small graphics -- logos, and line drawings -- that i need to place into indd.
they have been scanned and traced in illustrator.
i have copied and then pasted them into indd. HOWEVER INDD crashes immediately over and over. i've tried copying and pasting them from ai into indd into blank documents -- once again crash.
I NEED TO GET THIS PROJECT DONE! yikes.
what can i do to prevent crashes???
AND -- big question -- if i save them in ai. and place them into indd -- i have white boxes around each graphic which I DO NOT WANT. that's why i was copying and pasting to begin with. Are there ways to save graphics and place them into indd without these white boxes around them. I'm open to other formats -- and not embedding -- but need to get rid of the box.
at one point i got a message saying memory was full. now it all just crashes.
please help anyone and everyone. i'll be indebted to you!

ok; i am able to get the objects to show up without the white box when doing this!!!!!
THANK you for that suggestion!!!!!!
but what about copying and pasting?? isn't that supposed to work between indesign/illustrator????

Very STRANGE problem when importing/converting from Word

I've been trying to convert a form created in Word XP to PDF. When I use the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button or when I try to import the document into Adobe Designer, every line of the form, whether text box or form field, is overlaid with a copy of the screen banner (for example, the current banner as I type this is the Firefox logo followed by "Adobe Forums - Add Discussion - Mozilla Firefox"). I can't grab the banner image to delete it. At best, the image is barely translucent, so I can almost read the text that should be visible. At worst, the banner is so dark it completely obscures the other text.
Right now, the form is completely unusable. It also can't be opened again, once it's closed. The Acrobat Pro 7 error message says that's either because it's not a supported file type (it's a PDF now) or because it's "damaged."
Any ideas how I can either get rid of these images or keep them from showing up?

It's not about "like" or "not like", it's about following
common code of conduct of
this forum specified by the posting guidelines, to which by
the way you agreed upon
singing up in here.
Secondly, regardless your personal feeling on the topic, it
simply works against you
whether you like it or not. Regular forum participants will
ignore bumped posts,
bottom line just to prove that pushing your way while others
wait nicely in the queue
is plain rude. All posts are equally impotent and equally

Pasting from Word ridiculously slow

Hi I wonder if anyone has had this problem:
When I paste from Word (Word 2004 for Mac) to ID 5 it takes a ridiculously long time--maybe a full mintue for 10 lines or so.
I am a book designer and going back and forth from Word to ID all day long--this is driving me crazy (it only started in the past month or so).
I often PLACE (which is also very slow, but it makes more sense since it brings in the formatting) but sometimes I need to PASTE short bits of text and it is excruciating!
Anyone else have this trouble? Know how to fix it?
Any suggestions, much appreciated.

Thanks for responding, Gail. Yes, I am copying and pasting properly. I had no problem whatsoever pasting Word into Mail until I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion.
As far as the other question goes, I will put off taking a lot of time trying to get through to Microsoft Word for as a long as I can!

Just tested. No problem with cut & paste here from Word to Mail. Using Office 2011 (14.3.2) which opens all my old word files. You could try Pager or OpenOffice to try to open your old .docs if you wish, but I would try uninstalling and reinstalling MS Office first. Should not be acting like this, and have never had a copatability problem.

Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? - OS 10.6.3

Hi,
New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names." It was not answered and is quoted here:
---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off. Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or -> drag and drop picture clipping.
Opening Image File in CS5
Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.
