Can items from a list be copied and pasted into a new Pages Table?

In iWork Pages, I have a list of 50's & 60's recording artists and their songs, (which is about 40 pages long) from my '45 rpm record collection for my Jukebox.
Is there any way to copy and paste the artists' names, and their songs into a Pages Table, so that I can sort the artists' names into an alphabetical list?
If there is a way, it would save me a ton of work of typing each name into a Table one at a time.
Thank you,
Jim

Recently, I have had documents of lists that I had wanted to put into a Table afterwards, but there was no way that I could do it.... which brought me to my question to the Forum.....
I had made the artists' listing & songs of about 40 pages, about 7 years ago when I had a PC, and it was done in MS Word, and I haven't worked on it since then. 
Being a veritable Newbie at the time, I had put the artists' name in one column, and the song title in another.  When I had to insert a new artist and song, I would "Add Row Below" and then type the info in.
Little did I realize at the time that I had created a Table, without knowing it (I told you that I was a Newbie).
So when I started to work on those files this morning for the first time in a number of years, I wondered how could I put all the info from that Word document into a Table in Pages.
Then I could sort Ascending, instead of "Add Row Below" to squeeze the new name in when I wanted to add another artist. 
Then I realized after posting the question on this Forum, that it ALREADY WAS in Table form. 
I looked into the help section of Pages and found that I could sort the names in the Inspector Box in the Table Tab.
So, sorry to say I didn't discover a new technique of copying a list and then pasting the info into a new Table in one shot......
Sincerely sorry for the false alarm...
Jim

  • I am copying and pasting into a new, Pages document (from the word processing menu), and I paste in text that is longer than one page, it doesn't continue onto the next page.  I can't see the end. How do I get it to show everything I paste in?

    I want to copy an extensive amount of text from a web page into a Pages word processing document, but it seems to chop it up into text boxes, some of which aren't long enough to show all of the lines of text.  I can't get hold of a bottom edge of the boxes to drag them to make them longer.  I tried several times starting over with a new, blank page (and I made sure to choose from the Word Processing part of the dropdown menu, since I read about a similar problem that said not to use the layout menu.  It keeps doing the same thing.  What do I have to do to get long text pasted to multiple pages, instead of it trying to be all on one page?
      In the long run, what I want is to create this as an ePub book.  Is there a better way to go about this?

    Hi Ellen,
    Copying from web pages can include some weird formatting. Instead of Paste, use Paste and Match Style (Edit Menu).

  • Selecting objects in a layer to copy and paste into a new doc?

    How can I select all objects in a layer and copy and paste the objects into a new document? We are having issues with the copy and paste method. Is this because it uses the operating systems clipboard?

    the sample I mentioned describes how to duplicate all selected objects in a document, using
    var docSelected = app.activeDocument.selection;
    it is usually not advice to use the selection for this kind of stuff, to work with ALL pageItems in a document use
    var allPageItems = app.activeDocument.pageItems;
    now if you only want to copy items in a layer you can use either the index number (for instance, top layer index = 0) or the name of the layer (for instance "Layer1"), use this, you don't have to select them
    var topLayerPageItems = app.activeDocument.layers[0].pageItems;
    or using the layer name
    var Layer1PageItems = app.activeDocument.layers['Layer1"].pageItems;

  • Copying and pasting into a new size "canvas" in Aperture

    Hi, I'm just trying out Aperture for the first time, and have a photo of 4 separate images. I'd like to end up with just 2 of them, together in the same file. Of course in Photoshop I'd copy & paste, increase the canvas size, or use crop, and voila. I'm quite puzzled as to how I could do this in Aperture, although maybe this is more a program like Lightroom and can't do this kind of thing.

    This is not a feature of Aperture - nor Lightroom, if I recall correctly - both of which are apps for managing and post processing. That's a job for an editor like Photoshop.

  • Can't copy from an ebay image/photo and paste into Photoshop CS4.....but Opera can?

    Can't copy from an ebay image/photo and paste into Photoshop CS4.....but Opera can?
    Problem is not win 7 or WinXP as your competitor "Opera" can do this.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • I can not find out how to copy and paste firefox does not allow it

    Firefox does not allow me to highlight html documents when on line and then copy and paste
    When I left click to highlight it just moves a ghost copy of the whole document away from where you begin.
    I can not find out how to copy and paste firefox does not allow it

    What is your Operating System?
    How do you highlight the HTML document and copy the selected text to the clipboard?
    Can you attach a screenshot?

    Hi,
    The form that you create via FormsCentral can be embedded in your Muse site (in Muse you can select Object/Insert HTML and then paste the embed code that you get via FormsCentral by clicking "Distribute" Tab / Embed button.)
    See http://forums.adobe.com/message/5252743#5252743 on how to get the embed code via FormsCentral.

  • COPY AND PASTE INTO WIN7 DIALOG BOX

    Hi,
    I am new to Win7 and Lenovo Technologies.  I am not sure if this post belongs here or if my problem has to do with Lenovo password management, which I have not yet set up on my new ThinkPad W700. 
    I am unable to copy information from a text file and paste it into a Win 7 dialog box.  I am in a process of loading software from my old machine into the new one.  I have all relevant information on keys, etc., in text files within my installed software archive.  Manual retyping is a pain!  The copy and paste function works just fine outside of the dialogue boxes. 
    Can someone advise me what I need to do in order to allow the pasting of information into the dialogue boxes possible?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    SUPPLEMENT TO MY PREVIOUS POST
    The copy and paste into dialog boxes works just fine.  I suspect that my earlier problem was due to not being familiar with the new computer's keyboard.  I am used to the CTRL key being located at the bottom left of the keyboard.  The new keyboard has the Fn key in that position.  I must have pressed Fn instead of CTRL.  The old habits die hard.  I feel like for not noticing this earlier.

  • Copy and paste into dialog boxes

    Copy and paste into dialog boxes
    Greetings:
    This is a cross post, so sorry about that, but I had originally replied to a previous post,
    before I realized it was probably the wrong forum
    for my question.
    Copying from a document to a dialog box field doesn't work anymore; How do I fix it?
    We have the problem since upgrading to Tiger.
    Our Mac users, during their workflow, paste a filename
    from a document into the 'save as' field (when printing to a .ps file).
    This no longer works. UNLESS they control click in the 'save as' field.
    Then they can select 'paste' with the mouse. Why is this happening? and how can we fix it? (so they can just 'command C' then 'command V' as they used to).
    We have repaired permissions, cleared user caches,
    tossed finder prefs, logged in as another user,
    all to no avail.
    Thanks in advance!

    Matt,
    Thanks for your response.
    I agree that something else is capturing the shortcut, as
    all shortcuts are unavailable in the pulldown menus at that point where we used to be able to 'Command V' paste into the text field. We're not using Quick Keys, and the
    Full keyboard access setings are default for OS 10.4.
    I did experiement with turning of some of the modifier F key selections in the Keyboard system prefs but none made
    any change for this issue. For now our work around will be to control click in the text field and select 'paste'.
    Seems odd that the contextual menu is available for that field but a 'command V' or command control V doesn't work.
    Not a huge deal, more of an irritant, but I'll keep on the hunt! Thanks again!

  • Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    I actually found under  EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

  • With PS 7  create new  Place two objects on the new file  then you may cut copy and paste Cs2  create new  place two object on the new file Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

    With PS 7
    create new
    Place two objects on the new file
    then you may cut copy and paste
    Cs2
    create new
    place two object on the new file
    Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

    If your using File>Place then photoshop cs2 creates what's known as Smart Objects, which photoshop 7 didn't have.
    In photoshop cs2 you can rasterize the smart objects and that should make the Cut function available.
    Select both placed layers, right click on the area to the right of the tumbnail and select Rasterize Layers.
    If in photoshop cs2 you to Help>Photoshop Help and look under Layers>Smart Objects, that should give you a good overview of what smart objects are.

  • Can't Copy and Paste into Illustrator CS3 from Firefox 3!

    I read these things all the time, but first time posting, so you KNOW this problem is annoying me.
    I could always copy and paste from Firefox 2 into Illustrator CS2/CS3. However, once I upgraded to Firefox 3 I no longer can! I get the annoying "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I can't believe more people aren't complaining more about this. Save your time posting about "Illustrator is a vector program, and Photoshop is pixel based," I know I have been able to do it before so that is not the issue. Any light that could be shed on the situation would be great! Thanks in advance.

    I found that FF3 originally renamed .jpegs to the JFIF format when draging and dropping to the desktop, and it was not until March when the code was finalized that that you could drag and drop to your desktop without the conversion. You get around the illustrator CS3 problem a number of ways...drap and drop to the desktop and then to illustrator CS3, Drap and drop to photoshop CS3 and then to Illustrator CS3 or save as to the desk top, or use an older version of Firefox. I am currently tyring to determine if the JFIF renaming issue is what is preventing the direct drag and drop to Illustrator, and if there is a fix for issue. Any help out there or ideas would be helpful.

  • I want to translate some items but i cannot copy and paste into safari

    i want to translate some items, but i cannot copy and paste from my clipboard into translator page using safari .
    no, control-c just clunks a no-can-do warning

    Thank you Carolyn, but I need to compare and contrast with Google, Microsoft and Babylon to sort out what is being said ... along with my own limited understanding of the language and topic ...
    I have found that if I copy text it is in my clipboard with firefox, but I must paste from the firefox edit menu - not command v -
    Unfortunately, I can find no workaround for Safari.
    Thanks again Carolyn.

  • Copy-and-paste into Snow Leopard's Mail from Parallels 5.0 doesn't work

    After upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard, my Parallels 3.0 application no longer worked. Since I had an invitation to beta test Parallels 5.0, I took advantage of that opportunity.
    Since then, there has been a problem "copy-and-pasting" from an Internet Explorer window into an Apple Mail document. Parallels has a new feature that copies text with formatting. What ends up getting pasted into Mail is the text plus about 6 inches of blank space below it. It seems like the text is married to a large graphic element.
    Further hints: There's a black "X" in the circle at the upper left of it, and the text+blank_space block has its own vertical and horizontal scroll bars within the Mail document window.
    If anyone can suggest a solution, I would be very grateful. If I can send a screen shot of what I'm describing.

    OK, then since this isn't related to the OP's issue, I'd suggest you start a new topic in the Quicktime for Mac forum (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
    Regards.
