Can no longer copy and paste from MS apps

Could be a nightmare a-brewin'.
As webmaster for a transit company, I'm responsible for
updating the schedules for our 50+ bus routes three times a year on
piercetransit.org. So I opened one up today in Dreamweaver 8 and
launched our brand new version of Excel Mac 2008 to copy and paste
schedule times into a web page. And it didn't work!
Up til now, Excel has been an irreplaceable tool for
converting data from our weird, 70's-era bus scheduling software
[Hastus] into something Dreamweaver can understand. But no matter
how much I fiddle with options under Copy and Paste preferences,
today I got nothing -- literally. It's as if there's nothing
whatsoever on the clipboard. Earlier, I'd noticed the same problem
with our new version of Word, but since I rarely paste anything
into Dreamweaver from Word, I was only mildly irked by it. Given
the thousands of bus arrival and departure times on our site,
however, the inability to insert data from Excel into DMW would be
a disaster!
Am I just missing something, or is this some kind of "How
dare you use anything other than one of OUR products?"
gotcha from Evilco?

This has been an issue with Office 2008 for Mac even with the
CS3 version of Dreamweaver. I believe the only workaround is to do
a paste special as text only but you will lose formatting this way.
You can do a search on this forum also for other suggestions
because I didn't follow the old topics before because I didn't
upgrade till recently, but there might be some other tricks around
here.

  • (v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

    I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

    To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
    Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

  • Can no longer copy and paste from browser into illustrator - get placeholder that says "QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture"

    We upgraded our iMacs to Yosemite and lost functionality on Illustrator CS4.  We can save a picture to the desktop and then drag or 'place' the image to the Illustrator document, but if we drag directly from the browser or cut/copy/paste, we get a placeholder stating 'QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture'.  .png, .psd, and .tiff files give a missing plugin error.

    Illustrator CS4 and Yosemite aren't fully compatible. Some folks might have succeeded in getting it to run, but most have not.

  • How can I copy 8,000 titles of music from my pc to the new updated ITunes. I can no longer copy and paste them

    I am trying to copy many titles of music from my pc to the latest I Tunes. I can no longer copy and paste them like I used to be able to do. I need serious help here. Any thoughts or resolutions? Frustrated

    See also Repair iTunes Security Permissions and apply the suggested steps to the iTunes folder and the source media folder.
    I may be reading too much into things, but is your media stored in a bunch of folders where each folder represents a playlist? If so my script ImportFolderStructure might be useful to you...

  • Can no longer copy and past jpg and gifs into InDesign from c:\user\doc\pics

    Here is the error message we get when doing a copy and past from the hard drive to InDesign.
    Error Message from InDesign:
    Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing...
    First, do I need to add a plug-in to be able to copy and past jpgs and gifs?
    Second, we have always used clip organizer with no problem. Ability to copy and paste jpg & gif suddenly stopped. We get a box but no image ont the page. Have already tried dumping temp internet files through internet explorer. Have already un & re installed InDesign and repaired and fixed everything I could think of.
    Third, we can use the place command to place jpgs but can not place gifs.
    William (Helping Mrs. White)

    It sounds as if Mrs White needs to search visually for graphics and then place them. She can either set Windows Explorer
    to thumbnail view and drag a graphic on to an InDesign page - this will in effect be placing the graphic, not copying
    and pasting, and is the right way to go. Or she can use File > Place, and set the view in the Explorer window that she
    selects from in the Place command to a thumbnail view to see the graphics.
    GIFs can be placed. They are not a recommended format, but if you are placing clip art then you may have no option.
    So, in answer to your original question, no, you don't need a plug-in to place JPEGs and GIFs. But note that is place,
    not copy and paste.

  • Why can't I copy and paste from google seach history with firefox 4

    When I try and copy and paste from Google drop down search box nothing happens. Only happen with Firefox 4. I tried to roll back to 3.6 but every time i reboot it puts 4 back

  • Can no longer copy and paste data from CD to disk

    For the last little while, I can no longer copy (right-click > Copy "DATA CD") and paste (right-click > Paste Item) a data CD to a drive.
    i keep getting the error "This operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
    This is whether I attempt to copy to system drive (Desktop) or volumes which have their permissions ignored.
    Thanks,

    Never mind. Apparently there was something going wrong with the Finder. I ran Onyx, and things are back to normal now. I was concerned because I actually saw similar but not identical behavior on two Leopard machines. Running Onyx on the 2nd one now.

  • Can no longer copy and paste with new version. Articles you provided did not help.

    When I try to copy and paste in firefox it says I can't do it any longer. It's a security issue, and the "learn more" tab gives some abstruse directions about completely closing firefox, and then getting back in without opening it to a place I can't find.
    Could you please tell me how to re-enable these necessary functions in an understandable way?

    Is this only on one website? some websites disable copy and pasting for various reasons.
    If this happens on every website, have you tried to start Firefox up in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]? It may be an extension causing the problem.
    Also, go ahead and update to Firefox 11, since it does have several bug fixes (I don't recall anything related to copy and paste, but give it a go [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] )
    Or, you may have some sort of virus which is interfering with your copy and paste. Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]

  • Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

    Hi,
    I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
    Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
    Thanks,
    AM

    Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

  • Using windows7..I can not longer copy and paste, cut and paste. what happened?

    Using windows 7, on a Compaq Presario, for a time now, I am not able to cut and paste, or copy and paste. Used to work by right click, highlite copy, got to word page and paste. I cannot get right click to bring this box up. What is happening?

    I can't either. It is helpful when needing a link to send to a classmate via email. I also can't copy address bar because the complete adress no longer shows. I like XP. My Vista does better. This is a major problem when doing large papers 4 class. I use Son of Citation. You have to be able to copy paste. I have enough class work to do I don't need more...

  • Why can't I copy and paste from Illustrator to Flash?

    I have this silly but frustrating problem. I've drawn a
    series of objects in Illustrator and have copied and pasted many of
    them into separate frames in Flash and all of a sudden they won't
    paste. There are 3 objects I'm trying to paste onto each frame and
    2 of them will paste, but 1 won't. I don't have anything locked and
    I have no clipping masks in Illustrator. They will copy and paste
    in Illustrator. I've tried copy and pasting them separately, I've
    tried opening a new Flash document and pasting, I've tried
    restarting my computer. Does this sound like just another freak
    thing or does anyone have any ideas? Is there some keyboard
    shortcut I might have bumped in Flash to change some hidden
    setting...? But then why is it just 1 of the 3 objects that won't
    paste?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I think I tried all the options and none worked. Even so, the clipboard options say "Clipboard on Quit". That sounds like it has nothing to do with between active programs.
    I'm able to paste from CS5 TO CC though.

  • Can no longer copy and paste filenames from the finder to other Apps?

    Did Leopard remove the ability to copy a file or folder name in the finder, and then paste that into a text editor?
    I have a need to copy file and folder names from the finder, then paste those names into BBEdit. I've been doing this for years. Now with Leopard, I can copy the file or folder names, and even see them in the clipboard of the Finder. But when I try to paste them into BBEdit, TextEdit, Word, Pages... nothing happens. And Paste is grayed out in the target application. As if I had never copied the item in the first place.
    Can anyone else copy filenames in the finder? Or do I have a system-specific problem?

    Never mind. Apparently there was something going wrong with the Finder. I ran Onyx, and things are back to normal now. I was concerned because I actually saw similar but not identical behavior on two Leopard machines. Running Onyx on the 2nd one now.
