Can't paste a paragraph into Dreamweaver code

Hi there,
Big thank you to whoever can help with this one...
I am trying to paste a paragraph of text I have copied from a website, "Lorem Ipsum" in fact, but when I paste it within paragraph tags - or code view general - Dw returns the data as one long line with no paragraph formatting!!
Bit of nightmare. I have tried pasting special - to include paragraph structure - but no luck fixing the issue.
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Josh

Does your Lorem ipsum contain paragraph tags?   If not, it's just plain text. 
Paste this into Code View:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.  Mauris vitae libero lacus, vel hendrerit nisi!  Maecenas quis velit nisl, volutpat viverra felis. Vestibulum luctus mauris sed sem dapibus luctus.  Pellentesque aliquet aliquet ligula, et sagittis justo auctor varius. Quisque varius scelerisque nunc eget rhoncus.  Aenean tristique enim ut ante dignissim. </p>
Paste this into Design View:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.  Mauris vitae libero lacus, vel hendrerit nisi!  Maecenas quis velit nisl, volutpat viverra felis. Vestibulum luctus mauris sed sem dapibus luctus.  Pellentesque aliquet aliquet ligula, et sagittis justo auctor varius. Quisque varius scelerisque nunc eget rhoncus.  Aenean tristique enim ut ante dignissim.

  • Dreamweaver Can I import muse pages into Dreamweaver and "up grade" them

    Dreamweaver Can I import muse pages into Dreamweaver and "up grade" them
    Muse is terrific for basic pages, but forms, and scripts require more capability
    Also is there anyone watching this who does freelance work on web design?

    Thanks Murray
    Yes I have looked at the Muse code and also looked at it in a plain html editor, (Been using Arachnophilia for about 15 years)
    and the code is a mess.
    You are dead right. I figured I would start with Muse to get some of the concepts sorted out, and that has worked, but I know I will need to use DW for my main site
    CanLaw has about 1500 pages all done in html with tables….
    time to play catch up
    Ton of work, but I have a masochistic bent anyway
    But in the long run life will be simpler if I make the effort now.

  • Dreamweaver CS3- can not paste from Word into Design mode window

    Have been away from DW for a while, and upon return having a
    bit of difficulty with paste function for text. I can select text
    in design mode/window; I can type in design mode, but I can not
    paste into design mode. I can only paste in code view or the code
    half of split view. Is there a setting/preference I have set wrong?
    Thx

  • Can I turn Frontpage webs into Dreamweaver ones?

    Hi all
    I've been designing a web on Frontpage 2002, but that
    program, although OKAY, is pretty lame. Is it at all possible to
    use the html from my Frontpage site, paste it into Dreamweaver (at
    which I am also a novice) and do fancy stuff with it using CSS? Are
    there any tutorials for this sort of thing?
    Thanks

    Before doing anything else, take a couple of weeks to
    gothrough the DW
    tutorials, and also to study HTML and CSS. The more you know
    about those,
    the easier your transition will be. DW expects alot more from
    you than FP
    did, and as a result, you may find it much more frustrating
    to have the raw
    reality of web development staring you in the face rather
    than the wizards
    of FP.
    > Is there a way to convert a Frontpage site into a
    > Dreamweaver site
    1. I'd define a Dreamweaver site that points to a location on
    your hard
    drive for the local site's root, and to the current FP site
    on the web as
    the remote site
    2. I'd use Dreamweaver (if your host supports FTP
    connections) to download
    the remote site to the root of the site you just defined on
    the hard drive.
    This will pick up all the pages *after* webbot action so that
    shared borders
    and all are already present in the page HTML. This will also
    pick up all of
    the server scripting. Note - in the event that you are not
    able to connect
    using FTP since some FP hosts block that protocol, you will
    have to use a
    third party 'site copier' like Black Widow, QuadSucker, or
    WebCopier, (or
    even the DW extension called SiteAssist from WebAssist) to
    connect and
    download using http protocols. Doing it this way will *not*
    retrieve any of
    your server-script code, if any (unless you have used the
    WebAssist
    extension).
    3. I'd create a DW template for the pages, that captures the
    "shared
    border"
    effect you had in FP.
    4. I'd copy and paste content from each FP pages to a new
    template child
    page and then save the new child page with an easily
    identifiable
    nomenclature that is distinct from what was used on the FP
    site (since you
    are saving the new child pages into the same local site as
    the FP pages).
    5. When the basic site is completed, I'd upload the new DW
    pages to some
    staging area/webspace, and by using the browser, I'd verify
    that the site
    (as it now exists remotely) is complete.
    6. Then I'd create a *new* DW site in a new location on the
    hard drive, and
    connect to and download all the files from the staging site.
    7. You can now delete the original FP site from your local
    system if you
    want.
    You now have a complete site (minus any of the FP extension
    server-side
    code) that has no FP footprint.
    If you have used any FP server extension functions on the
    original FP site
    (form processing, guestbooks, tables of contents, includes,
    etc.), you will
    have to recreate those functions in DW using 3rd party
    scripts, or scripts
    that you write yourself.

  • Mobile Learning! How can I integrate jquizme plugin into Dreamweaver phonegap jquery mobile platform

    Im a student working on a mlearn project. Im initially familiar with Basic Dreamweaver. I dont know however how to go about integrating jquizme plugin (an opensource elearn evaluation package) into Dreamweaver CS5.5
    jquizme URL = http://code.google.com/p/jquizme
    All helps are welcomed.

    @idesdema: Have a look at this tutorial: http://www.codeforest.net/jquery-mobile-advanced-tutorial-rss-reader-app
    It includes a demo as well as a download link to the source files.
    Also, if you want to take it a step further, you can create & manage a 'local database' without having to access anything remotely - basically handling everything at the client's end.
    There's a tutorial for that here: http://the-jquerymobile-tutorial.org/jquery-mobile-tutorial-CH22.php
    Good luck.

  • In vsn 6.0.2 how can I paste a link into the body of a Yahoo e-mail and have the pasted result appear as a link?

    o/s Windows XP Home
    vsn of Firefox 6.0.2
    Step 1) open firefox
    Step 2) copy link from address bar into clipboard
    Step 3) compose message in Yahoo
    Step 4) paste contents of clipboard into body of the e-mail
    result: the pasted value does NOT become a hyperlink
    <on same pc, with same contents in clipboard>
    Step 5) open IE
    Step 6) compose message in Yahoo
    Step 7) paste contents of clipboard into body of the e-mail
    result: the pasted value becomes a hyperlink ... the fact that the link becomes a hyperlink in the IE browser makes me think that there may be something in the Firefox browser that is controlling whether the pasted value becomes a link.
    I'm not sure, but I believe the update to firefox 6.0.2 was with the past few days.
    I'm not sure, but I do not believe the symptoms from steps 1 - 4 were present a few days ago
    Questions:
    1) could this feature have been introduced in 6.0.2?
    2) I would prefer it if the pasted value would become a
    hyperlink when working in firefox; what steps do I need to take to make this happen?
    Thank you

    Now Tony, I know you can't hear my tone on a forum post but I was not complaining, simply stating facts . This change brought several people in my office to a grinding halt in a long established workflow that is really rather simple (and I thought was already assumed from the original post above ):
    1) Select a set of records in FileMaker Pro 12 and export only their e-mail addresses as a CSV file.
    2) Open that CSV file in Excel.
    3) Copy the column of e-mail address.
    4) paste into the appropriate recipient field in Mail.
    5) Send
    If I were to complain it would be about Apple's typically opaque approach to updates. There is no granular explanation of why changes were made or even "what" changes were made.
    Complaining is futile since Apple is Apple and is unlikely to change, but sometimes it is cathartic to "shout into the void" .
    I had thought about doing something with a formula in Excel and your suggestion was simple and helpful. Again, however, it is only a workaround for a long established helpful behavior that Apple has inexplicably broken/removed in Mavericks Mail.
    I, and the other posters here, would love to have the capability back rather than have to add previously unneeded steps to our workflows.
    Ultimately we may add scripting steps to the FileMaker side to export the address lists with commas inserted already if Apple ends up having permanently removed this feature.

  • Downloaded jpg pictures - can't paste cut images into jpg's

    I've downloaded some low resolution jpg's from the Web and intended to do some image cuts from photos I took - and to paste those cut images into the low res downloaded pictures.  Using Elements 9, I can cut and paste from photo to photo if they are pcitures I took on my camera just find - just can't seem to cut and paste into the downloaded low res images.  Cutting from a self took photo and pasting into the low res jpg does create a layer, but it shows up blank.  I even took one the jpg's I downlaoded from the Web and scanned it so it might take off any protection that may be comng down with the downloaded jpg.  Nothing seems to work.  Thoughts?

  • Can't paste Word text into DW

    I do not use MSWord, but I have run into this
    problem with other third-party software on my Mac. I have always
    been able to overcome it by using the COPY command in the program's
    MENU bar, rather than CONTROL-clicking. Perhaps it will work for
    you when using MSWord.

  • How can I paste an image into a text/title box?

    Hi,
    I am putting together a 'memories' video using the 'Photo Album' theme in iMovie 11. What I want to do is insert some titles along the way (photo album type), have text above (no problem) with a still image in the box below. However, when I try to drop the image on the title box (on the timeline) it plays about 1-2 seconds of the still before it merges into the titles frame. I want it to merge/play instantly. It doesn't seem to matter whether I place the image directly on top of the title, before it or after. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    John

    No-one eh? Guess I'll keep searching. Thanks for looking.

  • Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

    I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
    Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
    Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
    I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Cory K.

    Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
    There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
    Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
    Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
    I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
    CF_UNICODETEXT
    CF_TEXT
    CF-OEMTEXT
    CF_LOCALE
    If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
    Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
    Custom Format: HTML Format
    Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
    Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
    Custom Format: Rich Text Format
    Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
    Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
    If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
    To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
    Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
    Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
    Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
    Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
    The Code View workaround:
    Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
    If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
    So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

  • Can't copy and paste between Photoshop and Dreamweaver

    The recommended way to import assets from a Photoshop PSD files since Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 is to use the Extract panel.
    In older versions of Photoshop and Dreamweaver (CS3 and above), you can copy a selection or layer from a PSD in Photoshop directly into Dreamweaver (you need both Photoshop and Dreamweaver installed on the same computer). This launches the Image Preview dialog box for you to optimize and save an image ready for the Web.
    If you can't copy from Photoshop into Dreamweaver, make sure that the Export Clipboard check box is selected in the Photoshop General Preferences panel.
    Many thanks to Bob Levine for providing this useful tip.

    It sounds like you need to trash your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences
    And it shouldn't throw that message, but also check to be sure that Paste Remembers Layers isn't checked in the Layers panel flyout menu or you'll never get anything to paste from one layer to another.

  • Cannot paste text into Dreamweaver after the fancy new version changes

    After the latest update I can no longer paste text into dreamweaver.  I'm sure it's because of some corrupted file but don't know where to find and make that correction.
    Thanks Adobe, really appreciate it.

    Well I can't paste any text into any DW document, file, blank, page name, nothing
    The paste command does not work in DW
    I have deleted corrupted cache
    I have tried Restore Preferences
    Nothing allows me to paste text in any format from any file format period.

  • In InCopy, how can I paste from one InDesign table to another without also copying formatting?

    I'm attempting to paste information from one indesign document to another, but the styles are different. Pasting without formatting not working in a table. When I paste over, it retains the container style from the original table.
    I have "Text Only" selected from my Clipboard Handling preferences, so I'm not sure what else to do. I know I can hit escape to switch to the text selection instead of a container, but this only selects the text from one cell. I'd like to copy over the entire table, instead of copying cell by cell.
    How can I paste a table into another, without copying the formatting?

    Copy/Paste whole cells will always retain formatting.
    What you have to do is: Copy/Paste Without Formatting the text contents of the individual cell.
    You have to do that individually for each cell, if you want to copy over text of a whole table.
    A better approach would be to:
    1. Copy the whole table to Excel (or a different spread sheet application)
    2. Copy again from that
    3. Select one single cell and paste
    In that case "Text Only" should be selected from the Clipboard Handling Preferences.
