Copying and pasting is not usually a good idea. Try using the "place" command to place your external files or documents into InDesign. Nevertheless, you should be able to copy text from Word or other programs with no problem. How are you doing it exactly? Try to do it not only with keyboard shortcuts, but using the actual "copy" and "paste" menus on both programs.

Cannot copy and paste from Firefox 3.5 into Dreamweaver

Cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail

I cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail. Neither from using the keyboard shortcuts, or using the Menu function. I can copy and paste from other applications into Mail- but for some reason, text copied from a Word document (both in .txt and .doc formats) will not paste into an open email. Anyone else have this issue? It's a new issue. I used to be able to do this easily.

I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

Does anyone know how to copy and paste from a pdf document?

I am trying to copy and paste from a pdf document to put on facebook, but I cannot highlight the text I want to copy.
Any suggestions???

It is a generated pdf doc. I can highlight the text, but as soon as I let go of the mouse button, the highlighting disappears. If I right-click the mouse, there is no copy/past option. Only a select, zoom and marque tool option.

I have tried to repair the install, that worked for a few days.
Tried uninstalling Office suite and then re-installing Office suite.
I reformatted the computer and did a fresh install of windows 7 and Office suite and today it started again.
I need to get a fix for this as soon as possible.

Hi,
As far as I know, if you have Skype installed in your computer, the clipboard will be influenced.

I cannot copy and paste from email to word processor in microsoft 7, not Office

why can I not copy and paste from Yahoo email into Microsoft 7 word processor. I don't have Office. I used to do this all the time using Control C to copy and Control V to paste but recently AT&T installed Firefox and I think that's when the trouble started

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 cannot copy and paste from Word 2007 into Firefox (gmail), and I cannot copy and paste from Firefox (URLs) into a word document.

Starting two days ago, I can no longer copy and paste between Firefox and Word 2007. I can copy within each program.

Copy and paste from a word document to calendar?

hello, I'm just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to store/view a word document on an iphone as well as be able to copy text from that doc & paste it to a calendar event? thanks!

Thanks for your reply!
im curious tho, i saw an instructional video about how to copy and paste on the iphone. it said to hold down on the begining of the text area you'd like to copy to "zoom" then tap the screen with a second finger. then repeat at the end of the text area. Was this incorrect? Also, you mentioned you can save via e-mail, the files i need to access are e-mailed to me as a .doc attachment weekly. if i simply saye the file in e-mail would i be able to view & access it at another time? The copy & paste thing isn't the end of the world, but being able to view these files is a feature i can't do without.
thank you again for your input!
That was either a hypothetical implementation from a fan or just a fake rumor.

Why do objects get bigger when I copy and paste from one Keynote document to another?

I have 2 keynote presentation files open. I select some objects on one slide, apple-C to copy, go over to a blank slide in another file, and apple-V to paste. The item(s) get pasted but are much bigger - they take up way more of the new slide than they did for the old one. What am I missing? Why can't I copy it with the same relative size it used to have?

Chances are that small file used to be a PowerPoint file - PowerPoint deals in inches instead of pixels (which blows my mind).
I would first convert the smaller file to a larger resolution - that should keep most of the scaling intact - and then copy and paste. In my opinion you'll probably have to re-polish your presentation once you've changed the resolution as some things will probably be a bit wonky.

Cannot copy and paste from a webpage, clipboard, etc. Ver. 7.0

This started in Version 6.0 and continues with 7.0 . I am running Mac OS 10.7 on a MacBook.
I often have to copy from a webpage and paste to email (Gmail, Sparrow, etc..) or a Word document. This function has become unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I have tried shutting down both Firefox only and then the whole computer and restarting and sometimes that works and sometimes not. I am able to copy from some webpages and others not at all. Sometimes I can copy some of a page but not all of it. Here is an example of a page I can copy only part of an article from: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2011/08/18/businessinsider-guyhaus-2011-8.DTL
(I can copy url's no problem btw.) On that page I can copy the headline and byeline, I can copy the article, but I cannot copt them together at once. Some pages not at all.

Cannot copy and paste from PDF Created with Distiller 9.0

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why I would be havingissues with copying/pasting from a PDF created w/ Distiller 9, as opposed to Distiller 8.x? I don't use Distiller myself, it just looks like this was what the creator of the document used. Is this a possible copyright protection that's been built in?

I can select text, but oddly enough it seems to automaitcally select random text - I can't select line to line. It randomly selects parts of all paragraphs at once. I'm very certain it's not an image.
I also checked to see if there were any security features that might be preventing copy/paste, and found none. I even compared it to an older edition of the document (which we can select text from perfectly), and none of the security features were any different. I would send this PDF to you, but I am in a heavily regulated work environment that doesn't allow for outgoing attachments or uploading.
If you have any other ideas, please let me know. If not, I really do appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Upgraded to Mavericks not my excel clipboard cannot be emptied and I cannot copy and paste from safari either.

I upgraded to Mavericks. Now when working in excel I cannot copy a cell to paste. When I try to copy an alert pops up saying 'Cannot empty clipboard'. I hit "OK' then I go to another screen, such as Safari, then excel on dock will bump then I have to keep going back to it to select "OK" again.
Also, I cannot copy on Safari, to paste an address on google earth, or paste anywhere else for that matter.
Anyone experiencing same issues?
I already checked my clipboard in finder and it is empty. Also, I tried right clicking to copy and still did not work that way.
Thanks. This is very frustrating because I need to use shortcuts and I work fast. I have business to tend to and need everything working. Excel keeps shutting down and restrting as well, very frustrating because I have to constantly save work and hope that it reopens with last edit.
ANY HELP is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
