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.

Why can't I paste formatted text into Firefox?

Very simple question. When I try to paste rich text into text field in Firefox (text with hyperlinks added, bolded etc.), Firefox strips all of that out.
Case in point: I added a link to a piece of text in Evernote for Mac. Copied it. Went to Tumblr, pasted it in... the link is removed. This is retained in Chrome, Opera and Safari.

How do I copy, paste Word document into Adobe Reader PDF?

A client is not using Microsoft Word, but typing text for my edits into Adobe PDF. Too many edits, too cumbersome for me. After converting PDF to Word, I edit using various ink colors. How can I copy, cut, paste edited WORD document into her PDF? Other than by using "paper clip" or "attachment" features?

Thanks, graffiti...So, can't copy, paste Word document into PDF?
What is the "full version" of Adobe vs my Adobe Reader? Adobe Acrobat?
I do have a cloud, but doesn't help with my editing problem.

When a paste copied text into InDesign Illustrator but without the trace?

When a paste copied text into InDesign Illustrator but without the trace?
It seems incredible to do a composition in Illustrator and copy-paste to make InDesign and draw all the text.
I'm using CS4 but I see in the help that CS5 is the same.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I know that I can copy the text with the text tool. Although I would like to copy / paste from Illustrator to InDesign for editing if you need without having to play through two programs.
Thanks for everything!

The Web-Based Email plugin has crashed. I get this message when trying to paste simple text into an email document. I have updated plugins and have run out of options. If I use another browser I have no problem. Please advise.

UPDATE
Compiling from command line I found out that the class definition for oracle.oats.scripting.modules.basic.api.IteratingVUserScript is missing. Do you know what .jar file contains this class?
Thanks.

Can no longer past formatted text into Mail in iOS 5...

With iOS 4.x on my iPad, I was able to past in rich, formatted text from other apps. So I could compose an email with colored text, different fonts/sizes, bulleted lists, etc. in another app and past it into Mail. It would keep all of it's formatting.
With the upgrade to iOS 5, this no longer works. Everything I paste into Mail has no formatting. I saw this first on my iPad 2 but I just tried on my iPhone 4S and the result was the same.
Even if I receive colored text in an email, I can't copy it from one place in the email to another and keep the color format.
Is there some new setting that is disabled that stops me from doing this? Is anybody else seeing this problem?
Thank you,
Roman

I am using indesign CS2 and i'm trying to import a Word document into a new chapter for a book i'm laying out. it's about 30 pages, but there are at least 80 foot notes. i'm able to get about 1/2 of the document with the footnotes to flow correctly, then EVERYTHING disappears. the only way i've been able to get the remaining text to appear is by adding characters to the text. i'll hit "vvvvvvvvvvvv" a bunch of times and "magically" a little chunk of text and it's footnotes appears. then the ole disappearing act happens. so i do it again. i'm able to get all the text to appear finally, but when i delete the "vvvvvvvvvv" from the places i inserted them, the text disappears again. i have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it. any ideas?
thanks so much,
travis

Is there any way to paste formatted text into muse, and have it stay formatted?

Greetings,
I have a client who sends material to me with intricate formatting (italics and bold only) for posting on the website. Is there any way to avoid losing that formatting when I paste it into Muse? If not, I have several hours of work to format everything all over again, every time he sends an update? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lori

Hello Muse Community,
Ok, so I have figured out how to do this. For those of us who have a large amount of formatted text to paste on a website, but don't want to have to take the time to format every individual word or line, the solution is to embed the following html code:
<iframe src="filename.html" width="600" height="300" scrolling="yes"></iframe>
and replace "filename.html" with a the name of a plain html document created from some other software where you can paste formatted text. Muse will pick up the html document as an included file in a window with a scrollbar. It's actually pretty slick.
Best wishes,
Lori

Problems with pasting arabic text into indesign

HI,
I am trying to cut and paste arabic text from Word 2007 to indesign ( ENGLISH) CS4
this is the text from word
This is the text when i paste it into indesign
They look completely different!
No clue why
I have installed the arabic keyboard onto the computer
I have installed the arabic font from adobe
I have installed the script to switch text from left to right --right to left (I found that script here
http://indesignsecrets.com/free-script-for-hebrew-or-arabic-text-in-regular-version-of-ind esign.php)
but I am getting the same problem
any suggestions!!
thanks

Pre-CS4 I would either change the glyph order and the individual glyphs by hand -- for *extremely* short string only --, or simply print the original file (which is usually Word) to a PDF and place that as an image.
Jongware's method is the best easy way to achieve this (placing the PDF file, I mean - manually hunting for medial glyphs is something I'd only suggest for those who have some demonstrated familiarity with the script in question). If your client insists that you not use a placed PDF for complex-script languages ("The Arabic is a picture, and I can't change the color of the text! Please send me something editable.") and you have no ME tools, you can open up that PDF, save out an EPS file, and in the "Settings" button in Acrobat you can find the "convert all fonts to outlines," save, open up the EPS in AI, copy the handily outlined AR text, and paste that into InDesign. It doesn't work perfectly, but it will do in a pinch.

How do I copy and paste Chinese text into InDesign CC?

I am having difficulty copying and pasting pre-translated Chinese text into InDesign.
Many of the characters are coming up as boxes in the majority of Chinese fonts offered in CC.
马修斯旅游大巴租赁公司
爱尔兰和英国之旅
translates as
Font used above is Apple LiSung
I have tried to import via Apple Text Edit and format stripped the text.

That's happening because you have Simplified Chinese text, and are attempting to use a Traditional Chinese font.
Ellis suggests a well-made Adobe font with Trad support. If you pull down your font dropdown and scroll towards the end, you'll find fonts split into categories according to language support. The one with Apple LiSung is the Simplified category, and the one with Adobe Fangsong is the Trad category. Pick any font from that category - but know that the style of font you pick in Chinese means as much as the style of font you pick in English, and if you don't know what the conventions are, you may well choose one not entirely suited to your audience. (One of my translators likened the Chinese font choices of monolingual Anglo designers to "seeing the body text of my How To Use Your Health Care Benefits brochure laid out in Rosewood.")

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.

Kerning removed when pasting word document into indd.

I am trying to paste a set of tables into indd. I converted the PDF to a DOC using Acrobat Pro, and it looks and behaves fine in Word. But when I paste it into place all of the kerning is removed. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

Hmmm, well I've reproduced it.
Can't explain it.
But I reproduced it. It's not a matter of "kerning" but rather the exclusion of the regular space character.
I tried converting table to text (in Word), then converting it back to a table before placing, and the spaces were preserved, but aside from all the space characters having a "custom tracking" value applied, the round-trip conversion resulted in a mangled layout anyway, so it was really only good for experimental purposes in the end.
In my standard workflows, I rarely if ever Place text-based content, and it's likely because scenarios like this were involved in the evolution of my habits. Word tables and InDesign tables have very little in common, and I would probably bring in plain text and reconstruct the table(s) in InDesign, if this was my project, without having even tried to Place. Actually, I've had better luck (copy/paste) with Excel to InDesign tables.

How can I turn dropped text into .txt instead of .textClipping files?

I like the idea of being able to select text, drag it and drop it, and have the finder save it as a file. But I don't like the .textClipping files that it creates by default. Is there a preference or a .plist flag I can set somewhere to tell it to just use good old plain text instead?

Nope. That's the way it is. However, you can select the clipping, open it, select all, and paste it into a TextEdit or other text editing program.

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.
