Can't copy text or images from webpages and paste into word documents or notepad

Today suddenly I cannot copy text or images from webpages (I tried many different ones) and paste into my word 2010 document or notepad. What can I do to get this ability back. Yesterday it worked fine. It does not appear to be a problem with word or notepad so I have to assume it is a problem with Firefox

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Problems when i copy text from Pdf and paste on Word

    In Pdf documente the text is in perfect conditions, but, when i copy the text and paste in WORD document the character change into random crazy character like: "()*"*&!(!*"(!"(!)"( )*"()!*("!&("@*")(!*@"!*@(
    how i fix this??

    I have the same problem when copying the PDF into a Word file. I tried Save as RTF doc. and it is still just symbols.
    It could be a font problem, because it has some weird Gill Sans and Futura fonts. I am sending a picture as an example.
    The option of exporting as Tiff and then applying OCR is interesting but still is kind of slow when i have a 100 pages document. If the fonts is the problem is there any way i could select the whole text and apply it a known font like Arial?
    Thanks for any info!
    Cheers,
    Sebastian

    With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy.   With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy.  Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
    Eureka!!!   Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy.  Hurray!!!

    Am unable to insert table and graphs into word document in labwindow/CVI? can any one help me ?

    Are you using the Word Report Generation instrument? You can find it in toolslib\activex\word\wordreport.fp under the CVI directory.
    The instrument comes with a sample project that shows how to include table and graphs in a Word document: see samples\activex\word\wordrpt.cws in the samples foder of your CVI installation.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • Copy from safari and paste somewhere words is hard to use

    I want ot copy a art clip from safari and then paste it somewhere  I have word but it is very hard to use   I have numbers and the art clip can not be sized
    so where can I paste the art clip and be able to put in text and size, color, text, etc  then print

    Insert a Shape into Numbers first (from the drop down Shapes menu in the top of Numbers).
    Then drag the image from Safari into the Shape you have created (not into a cell in Numbers).
    You can then resize the shape and if you click on the shape you can adjust the mask which will control how much of the image you can see.

  • Why after a recent systems update, I can't copy text from the internet (every web page) and paste into word?

    MacBook Pro Community,
    I need help. After a recent systems update this week, I can not longer copy and paste text from the internet. I have never had this problem before. I have searched through systems preference and google'ed it. Please help!!
    Thank you!

    A book is a lot of work and in the end needs to not only be openable, printable, but also be laid out with facing pages amongst other numerous desirable features.
    None of which suggest Pages 5 to me.
    If you want to persist in Pages 5.5 you will have to laboriously cut and paste the content into one file and hope that will still be usable when you are finished.
    Or you could export to Pages '09 or pdf format and assemble it there.

  • How can I copy text as-is from the address bar?

    Hi there,
    I use numerous username/password combinations to log onto an ftp site in the following form:
    ftp://fairlyShortUsername:[email protected]
    E.g. ftp://moduleFour:[email protected]
    Using this method allows me to log straight in because username and password are stored right inside the url.
    Due to their convenience, it is useful to be able to pass these links around to others.
    If I start typing the username (e.g. 'moduleF'...) in the address bar, the complete URL appears in the autocomplete suggestions and I can use the down arrow to display it in the address bar and copy it to the clipboard.
    However, when I paste what I copied (taking the above example), I just get ftp://ftp.site.com. This is no use to anyone without the information that has been stripped out.
    I'm not concerned with security (understandably, given that I'm using urls with plain text passwords).
    I'm sure firefox is just trying to be 'helpful', but is there any way I can copy the exact text displayed at the time I press Ctrl + C, without firefox interfering? At the moment, I have to look up the username and password and paste them into a url template every time, which given the number of times I've done it, has already taken up more time of my life than it's taken me to write this question, which is why I'm asking.
    *** NOTE: Changing the value of browser.urlbar.trimURLs and browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled has *not* allowed me to fix this. ***

    Okay, I think one of these add-ons is just what you need.
    Go to the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''' {web link}
    (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/my-copyfixer My CopyFixer ]''' {web link}
    Use Ctrl+C when nothing selected to copy page title and url in
    various format (template base).
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-tab-urls/ Send Tab URLs]''' {web link}
    Send a list of browser tab URLs to email, Web mail, or the clipboard

  • Way to copy text only from Adobe and paste into Apple Pages?

    I tried upgrading to Adobe ExportPDF and exporting to Word in hope that it would translated OK to Apple Pages.  It did not, but I don't think it was because it had problems converting from Word to Pages. My guess is that it's because most of the text was wrapped around images.  I know this because on the text that was NOT wrapped around image, I was able to paste it, though it was not a smooth convert in the sense that some fonts were substituted, certain characters were smooshed together and the spacing was uneven.  That part was a conversion issue; however it is still more preferable than having to retype all the text.
    Unless I can come up with another alternative this is what I will be forced to do on many, many PDF's that I need to convert (or successfully paste) into text-only documents.
    It's weird because back in the day, I recall being able to simply highlight text that I wanted in a PDF document and then paste that text into a Pages document.  Then it all changed and Adobe doesn't seem to allow you be able to do that.
    Can anyone come up with a workaround for this problem?  I don't have hours upon hours to convert all my PDF writing work into text only docs (to put on my online portfolio to make it easier for clients, etc., to read).
    Any help with this problem would be most appreciated. 

    I don't know what "Apple Pages" are, but since you talk about ExportPDF, I will move your post to the appropriate forum.

  • I have to paste/special/text when copying from Firefox and pasting in Word or Excel

    When copying data from a table on IE, I just have to paste (ctrl-v), and the data is pasted into appropriate separate cells.
    In Firefox, I have to "paste special" and click "text" to separate the fields. Otherwise, all the data is pasted into a single cell or in the case of Word, one paragraph.
    Is there a setting that can be designated to allow paste as in IE or as within Word or Excel?

    The [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1852/ Dafizilla Table2Clipboard] extension should help with this.
