Adding text from Microsift Word to a slideshow1

In previous slideshows, I have typed a title on Word, printed it out, taped it on a wall and then photographed it with my digitel camera and downloaded the picture to my slideshow. Is there any way to go directly from Word to iPhoto and the slideshow? It would be much neater and more professional. Thanx for any help you can give me.

Gary,
Assuming you are using the full Microsoft Office suite, you could use Powerpoint to make your title slides. It allows you to save slides as JPEG files which can then be imported into iPhoto and used the same as any other image file.
Hope this helped!

  • ID CS4 slow after pasting text from MS Word

    Each time I paste text from a Word document into my ID CS4 document, ID begins to run very slowly. I can't even type properly. Has anyone else seen this?
    I have fixed this problem by copying all the text and pasting in the a new document (I thought the document was possibly corrupted). This fixed the problem, but it has happened multiple times now. Much of my information comes from engineers' word documents, so this is not convenient.

    The best I can tell, it is related to the cross references, and that it happened after pasting was coincedental. It could have been that pasting made a cross referenced section move to another page, so it was trying to update.
    The cross references are a little buggy:
    EVERY time I create a cross ref from the cross ref menu (in the cross ref window), ID CS4 (with all patches) crashes. If I create them from the Text menu (at the top), it doesn't crash.
    If you have a large number of cross refs in a doc, it becomes slow.
    When slowness occurs, I have found that updating the cross refs and then resolving all errors in the cross ref window usually clears it up.

  • Automatically copy only the unicode-Text from a Word-Document into FM8

    In my daily work I often have the problem to copy and paste text from a  Word-Document or other documents into my FrameMaker documents.
    The common way is to copy it in Word and "Special Paste" it in FrameMaker 8 as unicode. But this is not as confortable as to shortly hit Ctrl-v on the keyboard.
    I would like to have a new menuitem to special paste only the unicode text from the clipbopard. Is there a way to make such a makro and to put it in the menubar with a Key-Trigger?
    I read something like that in http://www.rzg.mpg.de/from_external/Frame6_Handbuch/Setting_up_FrameMaker.pdf (german), but I actually don't know what to chage for my case.

    Rather than create a new menu item (possible, I gather, but fiddly) I would recommendchanging the default “paste” behaviour.
    In the MAKER.INI file there is a line beginning
    ClipboardFormatsPriorities=
    Change this to put UNICODE TEXT as the first item.
    Ctrl-v will then paste Unicode text by default. You can still access the other options, should you need to, by using Paste Special.

  • Pasting text from Microsoft Word

    I am working in InDesign on a Windows XP computer. When I paste text from Microsoft Word into InDesign the text loses its formatting such as italics and bold. Is there any way to maintain that formatting? I am supplied with this text by a client and I have so much formatting to do that the projects take me longer than necessary.

    ... and don't forget to run this set of macros in Word BEFORE you do copy/paste ;)

  • Importing text from large Word document ID freeze

    I'm converting a large Word document to PDF via InDesign and when I import the text from the Word doc, ID always freezes.
    I want to preserve the styles and formatting in the text but unfortunately the freeze occurs at the beginning where the Placing Microsoft Office Word 2007 document progress bar shows either "Processing character attributes..." or "Processing table attributes..."
    My problem is that it is such a large document with lots of italics, bolds and styles that I would like to take over to InDesign in order to speed up the design process.

    RTF will be fine and will retain all the Bold and Italic and other styles. RTF stands for RICH TEXT FORMAT and I think it's better than the standard .doc saved from Word; for importing to InDesign.
    Try these steps.
    In Word:
    File>Save As
    Choose RTF (that way you are not overwriting the original file)
    In InDesign:
    Start a new document - completely blank - don't worry about page size (A4 will do) and don't worry about margins (standard margins will do)
    Use File>Place and import the RTF file you just saved
    If that imports ok - then select all the text
    File>Export and choose RTF (rich text format)
    Now use that new RTF to import to your layout
    (there is no need to worry about images, you should reimport all  images that are in Word through File>Place; if you have any images in  your Word document. Make sure you use the same source file as when you  placed into Word)
    The reasons for the steps above is because there is a lot of unnecessary styles made with Word - and importing to InDesign and a fresh Export to RTF makes a cleaner file to use with InDesign.

  • HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

    HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

    Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page.  Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page.  Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

  • How do I cut and paste text from a Word doc to my yahoo email?

    I am suddenly unable to cut and paste from a Word document into the body of my yahoo email. I never had this problem before, but recently trying to paste my resume into the site 4entertainmentjobs.com, I ran into trouble. I followed your instructions and found my profile folder, but there was no user.js file in there. I created one in text edit and replaced mozilla.org with 4entertainmentjobs.com, but it still didn't work. Today I tried to go back and put Mozilla back in, but I still cannot get it to work. Then I downloaded your add-on "allow clipboard". That did not work either.

    Hi Sara.  Tanks for responding.  If I cannot figure this out (I  was up

  • Pasting text from a word program while retaining the same italics formatting?

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a way to be able to copy text from another program (Microsoft Word) and then, using the Text tool in Photoshop (CS6), paste that text, but where it retains the correct italics formatting I had in the other program--and not as an image of text (Ctrl+P), in which the formatting is present, as a flat image, but rather as an actual unrasterized and editable Text layer. For example, the sentence “I told you..” where 'told' is italics, simply pastes into Photoshop as "I told you.." without the original formatting. Is there a way to get Photoshop to recognize formatting from pastes without my having to manually re-apply the formatting myself? This would be a hassle over a long period of time. If necesary I would be willing to use a plug-in that allows for this sort of recognition.
    Thanks!

    InDesign does correctly accept Word's formatting with 2 important considerations.
    In the InDesign preferences, Clipboard Handling needs to be set up to paste "All Information (Index Markers, Swatches, Styles, etc)
    In Word you can't use formatting like faux Bold or faux Italic in place of using a font that has an actual Bold or Italic font style.
    InDesign only allows for using fonts that have a Bold or Italic font style and no longer allows for faux styles like MS Word or older type layout applications like PageMaker or Quark (clicking a B or I button)
    You can copy the Text Block in InDesign (the arrow tool - not the text tool) and paste this into Photoshop as a Vector Smart Object.
    You can then use a layer style on this Vector Smart Object layer.
    But all this really just a sideshow. If you are copying a small amount of text, it shouldn't take long to reformat in PS.
    If you are doing a large amount of text or small amounts many, many times you should do as Willi Adelberger says and place the images in InDesign. You can place or paste text for MS Word in InDesign  (and adjust or edit it if you want)
    In InDesign you can color the text, apply special effects like drop shadows, embossing, etc.
    Can you tell us the amount of text you deal with, how often you need to do this, and what (if anything) do you want to do to the text after you get it into PS?
    I think everyone would agree with Willi's statement: "Personally I would avoid to make text objects in Photoshop if not specific raster-image effects or combinations are needed."

  • Very slow copying text from microsoft word

    Any idea why copying text from word (office 2004) should be v slow? Copying same text in OS9 no problem (am currently copying text from client supplied documents into other applications ie. Quark, so having to go to another machine running previous OS + apps. seems a bit 'unnecessary'!)
    PowerBook G4 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Use the smart paste (Ctrl + Shift v) and select plain text only. Otherwise, you're pulling in Word's formatting when you do a regular paste.

  • Select a text from a word/pdf document for tagging.

    Hi,
    After an overwhelming response for my [first thread|Thumbnail creation during Image Upload; , I am hoping that my second post will have a solution.
    I am currently working on a knowledge management tool using ABAP WD. The requirement is to open the existing documents and select some text and tag/categorize it.  I also found out that using flash islands, it is possible to get the selected text from textField and pass it back to the ABAP WD binded variable.
    Is there a way to display word/pdf file and perform the text tagging in WD ? using office integration ? Kind help would be greatly appreciated.

    Never mind--I figured it out.

  • How to copy Chinese text from MS Word to Indesign CS5.5

    Hello, I am a beginner and wanted to simply copy Chinese characters from MS WOrd to indesign CS 5.5. But it showed up in indesign as a bunch of squares. ANyone knows how to do it right? Thanks

    Joel Cherney wrote:
    If you cannot find any of these, the InDesign installation disk comes with a bunch of free high quality fonts, courtesy of Adobe.
    Use those.
    The chances are quite small that you will offend your Chinese readership by setting text in an overtly Japanese font like Mincho or Kozuka - but the chance is a non-zero chance. All the right glyphs are there, of course (thank you Unihan), but typographic standards differ between the two languages, and there's no sense in taking the risk.
    Ah -- apologies! Wait, let me check my ID ... I got
    * Apple LiGothic, Apple LiSung (installed by default on OS X)
    * BiauKai (umm, don't know)
    * Adobe Fan Heiti
    * STHeiti
    * LiHei Pro
    * LiSong Pro
    * Adobe Ming Std
    * Adobe Fangsong Std
    * GB18030Bitmap (exactly what it says: a bitmap font, and you can use it in InDesign! A bad idea...)
    * Hei
    * Heiti SC
    * Adobe Heiti Std
    * Hiragino Sans GB
    * Kai
    * Adobe Kaiti Std
    * Adobe Song Std
    .. and yet even more. If you are working on Windows, you get a couple of "MS Xxx" fonts as well, and in that case you are definitely better off with Adobe's set.
    I must admit I only see the difference because Japanese fonts usually do not include a "full" set of glyphs (at least, not the "usual" 3,000 to 10,000). Joel, care to point out some tell-tale glyph forms?

  • How can I add the text from a Word document to an existing PDF that is my letterhead?

    I have a business letterhead created to a PDF file.  I'd like to add text from letters to this letterhead but do not know how.  Please help.

    Hi tatestar1,
    You would either need to use Acrobat to edit your letterhead PDF, or add the text in whatever application you used to create the letterhead in the first place, and then re-create the PDF. If you have the source file, then the latter may be easier.
    Best,

  • Importing text from Microsoft Word documents

    Can anyone offer recommendations or tips on the Import feature?  I am considering use of import for a vast amount of content from Microsoft Word documents.  I am using DW CS3 and I have heard good and bad about the import feature.  I would like to try to make it work for me and to make sure I'm using it correctly.  Many thanks! Ms. Gill

    I hate to say this, but don't do that.
    Ms. Web Editor (may I call you Web?), I regularly input stuff my clients send me from Microsoft Word. I never attempt an HTML conversion from Microsoft. It's just too dirty.
    Instead, what I do is I copy paragraphs into Dreamweaver's Code View window, putting a <p> and a </p> before and after them.
    If there are headings and sub headings in Word, I simply make them into lines without HTML, then press [Command]-1 or [Command]-2 to make those lines into <h1> or <h2> tags.
    I never try to export from Word. Microsoft does not know how to create clean HTML and CSS. It is always a losing proposition to trust that they do.

  • Is there a way to exclude title, heading and bibliography text from the word count in pages?

    I've just got the newest version of pages.
    The word count includes everything, from titles to endnotes - including the numbers in my sub-headings.
    I used to use open office where you could select a style i.e. 'body tex't, and get a word count that didn't include every single word in a document.
    Is there a way of doing something similar, or reseting the word count to only 'body text' so I know exactly how long my essays are?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, no version of Pages has this fine-grained control over document components and their word count, so the answer is no, regarding user changeable settings.
    Programmatically, I just told AppleScript to count the words of body text in a currently opened Pages v5.2 document. The count matched the Pages word count for the document. So, no solution there either.

  • Uneven text from MS Word 2007 using Acrobat 9

    I'm using Acrobat 9 to create PDF files from files prepared with MS Word 2007.
    This was all working well on my old XP PC. But now that I am working with Windows 7 on a new PC, I am getting a problem. The text in the PDF file is noticeably uneven compared with the text in the original Word file -- some letters are bunched together and others have relatively large spaces between them.
    I have tried choosing 'High Quality Print' as an option in A9 but it makes no difference.
    Any advice will be very welcome.
    Gerry

    OK, I thought I had solved the problem but now the problem has come back.
    Using PDF Maker, I am trying to set the preferences to embed all the fonts: Under Advanced settings, I have a tick in Embedded fonts and I have unticked Subset fonts. I have also set the compatibility from 6.0 to 8.0.
    The trouble is that, although I am saving these settings in the joboptions file, they keep going back to what they were.
    Please could you tell me what I should set and how to make sure they don't keep going back to old settings?
    Many thanks.
