BUG: Can't cut and paste custom text boxes

So this is really annoying.
- Create a text box.
- Set a custom text color, font and size
- Postion correctly.
Now I want to copy the text box to another page to maintain my text style. I can copy, but when I paste nothing happens.
Meaning I have to format each and every text box I create manually. Any work arounds?
I must say I do find the book editing tools in Aperture eccentric to say the least. No multi-select, no align/distribute etc. - I hope for some better page layout tools in the future. They don't have to be complex - just the basics.

Eccentric? Yup, my feelings exactly. Copy and paste in Aperture's layout tool is hit and miss - and as far as I know it's the only Mac app that behaves in this way, which is very strange indeed.
I just tried a workaround by saving the page with custom text as a new page master: it doesn't work!
Aperture only saves where the text box is located but all text formating reverts back to the theme's default... There's also no way to save custom text styles.
What will work is duplicating the page that contains the styled text box you'd like to keep. But then you need to change all the rest of the layout around it manually, which may take even longer.
It's nice to have a layout tool in Aperture. But considering what Apple has at its disposal, the implementation is extremely frustrating...

  • I can't cut and paste and the mac doesn't see me as the admin

    Okay so here are my current frustrations and issues:
    1. I can't cut and paste anything! Not from emails, not in documents, nothing.
    2. I went to make changes in the utilities and when I started, under my name, it said admin and now it says standard and the computer won't allow me to make changes. I try to enter my name and password and the computer says I am not the admin.
    3. I can't delete the "test" user and "guest" user because apparantly there is no admin.
    I have rebooted using the install disk and I was able to change the passwords but I still can't get in as the admin.
    Is there a way to override this before I a) pull out all of my hair, my husbands hair and the hair belonging to my cat and/or b) before I throw the machine out the window and then have another frustration that the unit is not working?! 

    First back up all your data, if you haven't done so already.
    Boot in safe mode (shift key down at startup) and check to see whether the clipboard now works. If it does, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and try again.
    Next, boot in single-user mode by restarting the computer and holding down the Command and S keys at the chime, until you see white text on a black background. Wait for the text to stop scrolling, then follow the instructions on the screen, which will tell you run the fsck and mount commands. Be very, very careful to type the commands correctly. After you enter the mount command, please enter this:
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    Then this:
    exit
    The Mac will now boot up as if for the first time. Go through the setup procedure to create a new admin account with the same name and password as the old one.

  • Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

    The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
    This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
    The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
    I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

    Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

  • Can I cut and paste directions obtained via maps into a word doc or something so I can see them if I can't connect to the internet

    Can I cut and paste directions form maps into a word doc - or save it somewhere on my iPad so I can access it when I can't access the Internet?

    Take a screen short.
    Simultaneously press the Sleep and Home button. You will notice an on-screen flash. If you have sound enabled, you will hear a camera click.
    The screen shot is stored in Camera Roll.

    Great tip Stephen!!
    I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
    Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

  • Can i cut and paste a gb track?

    can i cut and paste a gb track? i'm recording a one on one interview. i will export to itunes and burn a cd. but i was told cd will not exceed 80 minutes. if interview goes longer than 80 minutes, can i cut and paste from one track to burn two cds? i have gb2.

    To make sure you have the terms correct, you can't get a "track" you can cut/copy/paste "regions" within a track. So yes, you can do what you want.

  • Can not cut and paste in 10.5.5 in on user profile but other users fine

    Hi, all,
    We have an 24" iMac running 10.5.5 (with all latest updates). Pretty simple machine, nothing fancy on it, just simple machine. One of the 5 users on it can not cut and paste, but other users can just fine. I can not find anything much on this. Any & all advice is most appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Jason Sjobeck
    www.sjobeck.com

    I very much appreciate the suggestion, I do, and please do not take this the wrong way, thank you again for taking the time to try to help me, but ..... I am not going to take a bazooka to this ant hill on this specific issue for this user.
    We're talking about hours & ours of work, maybe more, to find out why cut-n-paste (ie: Apple+C and Apple-V) do not work & that ought to be findable & correctable as a single issue with a single action.
    If it is not, then I guess that is another issue isnt it, and I'll be taking that up with the manufacturer.
    I continue to look for the "right"(tm) solution.
    +note to "discussions site webmaster": why would this form as the poster for the OS & model & details of their post again (ie: when theyre replying here, to someone else, as I am here). Do we think that those items have changed in the last hour since the first post? Not only does it ask again, youre required to answer them again since they dont "remember" the poster's first answers, since it would confuse everyone to not answer, since the defaults are incorrect (ie: the defaults arent even the latest stable software versions).+

  • Safari Can't Cut and Paste Pics

    Hi All
    I can not cut and paste pics to Delphi forums. Others have the same problem, Some have tried Firefox but no luck.
    Seems that you can only do it with Internet Explorer. Icckk
    Anybody know how to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    HI,
    One possibility. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    At the bottom of that pane select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the Safari Menu Bar click Develop / User Agent / Internet Explorer. Try 8, 7, or 6.
    No guantee but it's worth a try.
    The next time you relaunch Safari it will default to Safari 5.

  • How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

    How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

    You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

  • How can  I cut-and-paste more than 256 charecters here?

    How can I cut-and-paste a question here from a Notepad file?

  • I can use cut and paste in Rich Text Editors for all web site hosts but one. I have tried the solution you provided, but it doesn't work. Any ideas? the website that rejects cut and paste is Network Solutions

    I really hoped you would fix the security policy issue in release 4. I have to close Firefox and use IE9 to maintain a website I built with Network Solutions and I'd much rather not have to endure the slowness of IE. I also have websites with Wix and WEBS and have no problems at all using cut and paste with them.

    Did you have it connected to the library mac when it froze? If so, why? I would be hesitant to hook my ipod to a unprotected public computer since it may be infested with viruses or have unknown hardware problems.
    In any case, if you can get it to an Apple store they can probably help you with it, it sounds like it needs replacing.
    A certain percentage of any complex product will turn out to be defective and will have to be returned, it sounds like you were unlucky enough to get one. Looking over the forums here it may seem like the ipod is plagued with bugs, but don't forget that there are millions who never have a problem and so have no reason to pipe up here. Personally I think Apple deserves a thumbs up for continuing to host these forums in spite of how they may cast a negative light on thier products to the casual observer.

  • Can you cut and paste multiple lines of text in adobe forms?

    Hi -
    I am working on cutting and pasting large amounts of information into adobe forms. When I presently cut and paste from Excel, it puts all of the data in one line rather than in separate choices in a multiple choice selection.
    Is there a way to separate out this data so that from the excel sheet, each piece of data is separated into a different possible selection?
    Thanks,
    Laura M

    That's not the way of transferring data from Excel to a PDF form. You should format the data in two rows, the first being the field names and the second being their values, and then import it via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data...

  • Cut and paste from text field not working in early access JRE 1.90-ea-b38

    I noticed that cut and paste no longer works with JRE 1.9 on Windows 7 professional. Anyone else having that problem?
    I haven't posted a bug reports since the Sun days, is there still a place to post bugs?

    Which advice didn't I follow?1) How to write a simple SSCCE.
    Again why do you have a custom TableModel? It is not required for the SSCCE and in fact is not required for your real program.
    Why is KeyListener code included. It has notthing to do with your question.
    2) I also suggested you add the mouse listener to the text area. Well, the text area is defined in the popup dialog, not the editor in my original SSCCE. So why have you made the code so complex by defining a second text area?
    I did look at your sample program (the table with pop-up menu appearing on right-click) That was only a wild guess because you didn't respond the second time when I asked you why the mouse listener wasn't added to the text area.

    Hello.  In 2012 you answered a query about the following problem:
    "I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet."
    This problem started with me this morning and it does not happen when I open a test account.  The thread stops after you asked if it occurs in the test account, did you ever find a solution to this issue?  I am using mac mail 3.6 on system 10.5.8.
    I hope you receive this, I have never posted in one of these forums.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave
