Can't copy and paste in pages, from table to table??

As the title says...
I select multiple boxes on a table in pages, I copy the info then try and paste in another table, but it's not having it
I'm on a 2011 imac running the latest lion, but my pages is 08.
Is this because a) my pages is old b) the documents were created on an older intel computer and migrated over, so do I need to uprgrade  iWork?
You help would be most appreciated.

Harry,
We never know the experience level of the operator. I try to judge, but of course I am often wrong, in both directions. When you referred to "boxes", instead of "cells", in your first post, I didn't know if it was a language difference or an experience gap.
The only thing I can suggest at this point is that it's always a good idea to run some maintenance after an upgrade. I use OnyX here.
Good luck,
Jerry

  • I can't copy and paste in Pages

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro that I JUST got for Christmas.  I downloaded Pages shortly after.  However, all of a sudden I can't copy and paste between documents or even in the SAME document.  I tried command+c and command+v and when I do that the Edit section lights up like it recognizes what I'm doing but it won't show up when I paste it.  I also tried to do it by manually selecting copy and paste int he Edit section.  I don't understand!  Someone help me!

    Creating a new user account is not necessary linked to the physical existence of an other user. It's helpful when we want to work different ways. It's also useful to help to solve problems like yours.
    If an app behave wrongly in account A and behave flawlessly in account B, we know that we may limit the range of files in which something is wrong to the account ones.
    As you can't give us the info, we must guess.
    So guessing that the problem is in your account, I will say :
    Quit/Close Pages
    move Pages preferences file to the Desktop
    The file's path is :
    <startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
    CAUTION: to reach it under Lion, you must press the option key while triggering the Finder's menu [ Go ] to get the menu item "Library.
    Restart Pages
    If it behave well, the 'old' prefs file was corrupted.
    The odd behavior may be linked to a problem with fonts.
    Run : FontBook to scan your fonts to get rid of corrupted or conflicting fonts.
    Get the free maintenance tool MAINTENANCE from :
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php
    CAUTION : take care to download the version dedicated to your system.
    Run it with the settings displayed below:

    Copy and paste? What app are you using?
    When you tap on an image and select copy that usually copies the URL of the image.
    Save image copies the image to your Camera Roll.
    Most apps have an Insert choice that inserts an image from your Camera Roll into the document you are working on.
    But if you tell us which app you are using, we should be able to provide more exact info on how to get done what you want.

  • How can I copy and paste quoted emails from Apple Mail v4.5 into another application?

    Hi,
    Having just moved from Entourage to Apple Mail on an Exchange back-end, everything is running smoothly except for one thing - when I copy emails that include quotes from replies (i.e. those coloured vertical lines down the left of the message) and paste them into other applications (Word, TextEdit, etc.) these indentations are not preserved, and instead each line starts at the left margin. This makes following interleaved conversations in the pasted document very difficult. It's as though Mail allows me to copy the view onto the message, rather than the source of the message (I believe that Mail simply reinterprets the '>' quote indentations for presentation, but retains these in the stored message).
    How can I restore copying of quote indentation in Apple Mail for pasting in other documents?

    You will need Pages or a sjmilar word processing program for this, TextEdit doesn't appear to be capable. Using Pages:
    Open your message. From the 'View' Menu choose "Message>Raw Source'.
    Copy the body of the message.
    Paste into a Pages Word Processing blank template.
    Open Find, click 'Advanced'.
    Set 'Find' to '>' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to tab (select from the 'Insert' drop-down menu)
    Click 'Replace All'.
    Set 'Find' to '=20' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to a single space.
    Click 'Replace all'.
    Obviously this will lose the colours which identify the level of quotes but you will have the indentation.

    Thank you.  That helped in the first step.  I was able to copy text onto multiple pages.
    Now I can't get the pictures to copy.  How do I get my pictures to copy?

    Do you mean you want to retain the formatting from Pages, or retain formatting already applied in ID?

  • I can't copy and paste from Word to the Internet (Firefox or Chrome), but I can copy and paste from Internet to Word

    I suddenly can't copy and paste text from Word to the internet (Firefox or Chrome, email or other websites), but I can do the reverse. Any ideas? Copy and paste works between Word docs, and it works between internet sites (e.g., web page to email), just not from Word to the internet. Please help. I need to copy and paste my resume for an online job application.

    There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
    What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
    * Ctrl+v
    * right-click > Paste
    * Edit > Paste (from the menu)
    Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

  • I can not copy and paste from My E-Bay adds. Please help

    I need to copy and paste add's from and to E-Bay. Firefox wont let me and says I need to go into profile directory. then user.js. ect ect. I can not figure out how to gt to Profile directory, much less user.js Please help me do this. Diana

    Hi lori2616,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like there might be an issue with the clipboard, but I do not know exactly what might be preventing this. Did you make any recent changes to the Firefox configuration?
    If not please consider a Firefox Refresh. [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • How can I copy and paste a long page here without using email?

    How can I copy and paste a long page without using email?

    Thanks for replying. Actually I want to copy/paste a recipe from a website so I can keep the recipe. On p 39 it tells how to copy/paste, which I do a lot already, but it doesn't tell where to paste it so I can access or print it whenever I want. It's kind of a long recipe. Too long to type out. Any ideas for that?

    == i want to copy and past 58 links from my IE favorites into the bookmarks toolbar...not one at a time. where's the folder i can copy these too?

    Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
    You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

    I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.
