Another little feature - select and copying text

Another anoying piece of functionality is the way the cut and paste is handled.
If you're in a text converation for example and someone says can you send me so and so's number/email etc then fair enough you jump into contacts find the person and their information is then there for you to see. Why cant you just click on the info you want and copy the info? No you have to go into EDIT mode, then hold your finger on the item for the right bar to appear.
Ok, no worries here, however after clicking say select all the right bar then diasapears ! Why? Logic dictates you've selected the data for a reason. Allow the right hand bar to stay open unless you say otherwise.
First of all though, allow the select to take place with no need to edit the contact.
Yes you can add a .vcf - however people are dumb and dont know what to do with such a file and also you you need to know the persons info your sending is happy for you to send all contact info about them etc.
Small things to make the OS even better :-)

I don't understand.. Once highlight, just touch and copy the number on the right hand pop up.
It could be overall easier, yes.

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.

HT3529 how to select and copy text on iphone 4

How to select, copy and send part of a txt message.

So your saying you can only copy part of this text?

I have problem with selecting and Copying is some of the applications

I am using blackberry passport. I would like to know how to select text and copy text from pages of YouVersion Bible. When I was using blackberry bold 9790 it was simple but now I am using blackbery passport I have failed to know how to perform that task.

While the content of many books, including the Bible have no copyright, the effort that the developer has gone through to be able to present it in an app could be. Not saying it is, I have encountered apps where I think the developer in advertently turned off features such as resize or copy.

Search for mai in gmail and copy text

I am having hard time to copy text. Basically, I need to search for mail in gmail and copy text to be sent as text message or copy as note.
1 In ff and default browser, I can search for mail, but no select option
2 In Nokia messaging there is no option for even search.
When I swipe from left to right, whole scree is moving. Appreciate any help.

Check out the Scout, for searches in Contacts/ Conversations, etc....

For Copy-Pasting from Gmail, I am not aware of the technique of doing the same from a browser. The copy-paste function works well from a text-field to another text-field.
So, I just forward the Gmail message, so that the body of the text appears on a text-filed inside the browser......and then I copy-paste it................without really forwarding the message to anyone

How to select and search text in this document?

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/manageability/database/pdf/ow05/PS_S003_274003_1 06-1_FIN_v2.pdf
is a document I can read but cannot copy text from. I can't search for any text in it either. Is there a way to convert it to a PDF file I can select and search text in? What did the author do to make it "encrypted"? Thanks.
Yong Huang

I notice Google can convert it to plain text:
http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:e4rkLs8pPekJ:www.oracle.com/technology/products/manage ability/database/pdf/ow05/PS_S003_274003_106-1_FIN_v2.pdf+understanding+shared+pool&cd=1&h l=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
(If that long URL doesn't work, just search for "understanding shared pool" and click "View as HTML".)
For now I'll use that. Thanks everyone.
Also, my local desktop search program Copernic can also index keywords in the article.

Cant select and delete text messages

Since the latest ios7 update i can no longer select and delete text messages. I have to delete the entire conversation. Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?

Tap and hold on a text within a conversation. Tap "More" in the pop up menu. Select the messages you want to delete by tapping in the little circles at the left of the messages. Tap the trash can in the lower left of the screen.
Best of luck.

Not able to select and copy from adf table in IE and chrome if we enable row selection

Hi All,
We have an adf table and user wants to select and copy table cell values.
We enabled row selection on adf table. Ifrow selection is in place, IE and Chrome are not allowing user to select and copy data. But Firefox is allowing.
Do we have any solution to this? For our customer IE is the standard browser and they do test app on IE.

Problem selecting and copying items

I use my iPad Air to work on groups in the photo sharing site, flickr. Since installing IOS8 I am having extreme difficulty in selecting and copying awards. Selection is done by dragging through the html, and then clicking on a blue icon "COPY" Sometimes the code saves correctly, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it changes to code previously saved It is driving me nuts. Can anyone help.
I have tried restarting the iPad, but that didn't help.

Thanks Mark, but you answered what I already included within my question. I wrote "So it's that, or disabling the hyperlink, move the object normally, and putting the hyperlink on again"
With that, to "Uncheck the "Make hyperlinks active" you need to first select the object, and you end up back to the first and second problem I wrote.

Automator to select e-mail sender and copy text on excel

I need to use automator to select e-mail sender, extract specific text and append it on an excel sheet. is it possible?
I have OS Snow Leopard; Mail; a Master Excel 2011 file; several Output Excel 2011 files for the output
I want Automator to check daily if new mails, on a specific account, have been received that match the mail address with a given list of names and related mail address in the Master Excel.
If a new mail is present, Automator should: pick up specific text in the mail body; select and open the related Output Excel file (each output Excel file is saved with the name linked with the e-mail address in the Master Excel); append the text on the given worksheet in the Output Excel file; save the output file.
This should be done with all the received mails that match with the Master Excel file
Is it possible do this kind of thing with automator? may be with the support of VBA for some parts?
I would appreciate any suggestion or idea to resources to investigate

Can't Select or Copy Text or Data from Address Book Contact Card w/out Edit

Is it something I am doing wrong or did someone at Apple have the weird idea to make it impossible to select/copy text in a contact card in Address Book?
Can you drag/select/copy a URL in a contact card in Address Book, e.g. if you had to paste it into another program or even a different contact card? Thanks.

that would be the latter although i suspect it's a bug. it is now also impossible to select all in an address card to quickly copy and paste into a text document. you have to do it one field at a time and it doesn't seem to work with URL at all.
