Cannot paste from "print screen" into document CS4

I have Photoshop CS4 and Windows 7 and cannot get a print screen copy to paste into a document. I have always been able to do this in the past, this is the first I have tried with CS4 and windows 7. It will paste into an email so I know the print screen button is functioning.
Does anyone how to resolve this. Thank you.

As per John's comment, I occasionally have this behavior on my laptop with XP-Pro and CS2. All will work fine for a dozen screen-caps, and then it ceases working. So far, I've never encountered this on my workstation. In general terms (things that might matter here), the only difference between the machines is that I have the 3 GB Switch on the workstation, but not on the laptop.
For me, Purging everything has no effect. Closing and re-launching PS clears it up though. I have had it re-occur in the second session, but not usually.
Both machines are very clean, regarding which programs and Processes are loaded at boot and running. What is left should not be sapping resources, but who knows? When this manifests itself, I often have PS and either PrPro, or PrElements, running, as those are often my sources for the screen-caps. In my case, maybe one, or the other, has some sort of memory leak. While editing, I have not observed such, and Task Manager does not show anything near extreme resource usage. Also, when I "cure" the issue by re-launching PS, I do not shut down the NLE programs.
Just some observations,
Hunt
BTW - many users on the Premiere fora also use, and recommend, SnagIt.

I cannot open a printer color profile document with a .icm extension in cs4?

I cannot open a printer color profile document with a .icm extension in cs4. please help?

You don't open them, you just have to put it in the correct folder which depends on what your operating system is.

Cannot paste from clipboard. Cannot read the available clipboard formats.

I cannot open a new or old pagemaker 6.5 document. The message comes up 'cannot paste from clipboard. Cannot read the available clipboard formats.
It will not let you do anything and I have to close by Alt. Ctrl. Delete.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Let me confirm what you're saying.
PM (windows?) loads up OK, but when you try to open an existing or create new publication, you get the error "'cannot paste from clipboard. Cannot read the available clipboard formats"?
!. PM6.5 can only be operated on a contemporary OS, like Win98SE or Win2K. Generally speaking, with later versions on Windows, it's a non-starter. If this is the case, and it's essential you open your PM files, download and install the trial version of PM7.
2. You probably have some corruption somewhere. You can try trashing all the configuration files (search using the string PM65*.cnf ) and re-loading PM65
3. If suggestion 2 fails, you need to remove and re-install PM65, but even this may not work. See 7.6 - Re-installing PageMaker of this linked PDF which was taken from the old AdobeForums FAQs. (Note the date of this FAQs and begin to realise how ancient PM65 is.)
4. Forget all the above, and move to InDesign.

Scanning multiple pages from print book into computer

How to scan multiple pages from print book into computer? Someone supplied a link to this question, but I got stuck at step 1: Where is "HP Director software"? In other directions, it says to open the "HP Scan window," but that option is not available to me when I follow the directions. I have an HP 2159m computer, HP Photosmart Plus all-in-one, Windows 7, and use Firefox, if that's any help.
TIA

I have a similar problem:
I am using an HP Officejet 6310xi via its TWAIN interface. Regardless of which application invokes TWAIN (whether Irfanview, Thumbs Plus, or something else), the scanner dialog closes after transferring each scanned image. To scan the next page requires re-starting the scanner, beginning with a whole new preview and re-entering all my scan settings. This is only an issue with the HP scanner, not with my Cannon CanoScan LIDE 100, Visioneer OneTouch 8920, or any other scanner, each of whose scanner dialogs stay open for scan after scan. Can anyone help me make the HP scanner dialog stay open for multiple pages?
Note: Based on a suggestion on another site I set my scan preferences to include "Prompt for Additional Scans from Glass" as follows, but it did not help.
I am experienced at scanning, but I find it extremely frustrating that the HP scan dialog closes, forgetting its settings, after each page.
If it helps others, I gladly share my article, "Freedom from Paper--At Last" here

Pasting from Microsoft Word into Adobe Illustrator...problem

Hello gang, I'm a professional comic book letterer and I recently decided to upgrade from using TextEdit to using Microsoft Word for all of my script copy pasting that I have to do.
In TextEdit when I copy a page from a comic script it will then paste into Adobe Illustrator beautifully. Retains line breaks and formatting really well (doesn't remember bolds or italics, but oh well). However, when I paste from the Word version of the same script, all the line breaks disapear, leaving me with a big square block of text, making it hard for me to easily find dialogue to use on the page.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Is this a known issue with Word? I can't seem to find anything about it on the net.
I'm using Word 11 for Mac version 14.2.1 I think it is and Adobe Illustrator CS3 for Mac.
Running Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro for what that's worth. Verion 10.6.8
thanks,
-- J

When I tried to place a 12 pages Word doc in Illustrator CS5, the same way told by John_Danek, I could see a small + sign on the bottom right corner of the text box. If you double click that text box, you can see page 2 of the doc. Similarly, you can view all the pages of your Word doc in Illie.
OR
If save your content in a PDF and then place the PDF in Illustrtaor. This will help you retain formatting as well as will allow you selecting page numbers of your document you want to place.

Numbers: Copy/Paste from multiple tables into 1 single Table?

I would appreciate some guidance in creating a copy/paste script from multiple numbers tables into a different single table within the same numbers document.
The columns in the source table are in different positions to the destination table.
So for example, i would want to copy…
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell A3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell B2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell B3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell C2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell C3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell E2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell D3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell F2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell E3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell G2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell G3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell I2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell J3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell H2
and repeat the copy/paste on subsequent rows of each table until there is an empty row in Sheet 1 Table 1 (or if this is difficult, say set the repeat to a max of 30 rows).
The script would then need to move on to Sheet 1 Table 2, and do the same copying to Sheet 2 Table Z (from where the previous copy/paste finished in Table Z).
Repeat process would finalise with Sheet 1 Table 6.
The Paste part would need to be pasting values, as the cells in the source tables do contain some formulas.
At the moment this is all done manually and does take some to to undertake.
If anyone can help, i would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Colin

Interceptor,
are you trying to aggregate data from severl tables into a single table? If so you whould be able to do this without a script. The function indirect() will allow you to construct the proper formula, which you may fill over (in the same row) to the appropriate cells, then fill down.
Here is a small example:
There are three data tables ("Table 1", "Table 2", and "Table 3"). And a summary "Table Z"
In table Z make the first row a header (as shown):
Use column A to enter the Sheet name and colomn B to enter the table name.
In row 1 (the header), enter the cells you want to get
in cell C2 type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=INDIRECT($A2&"::"&$B2&"::"&C$1)
now select cell C2, copy now select cell C2 thru H2, paste
now select the cells C2 thu H2, hover the corsor over the bottom edge of the selection, and drag the yellow cirlc down as needed to fill the formula down.
Update the sheet and table names as needed for each row

Can I copy and paste from OS X into X11?

I want to copy text from an OS X app (Firefox, say) and paste it into an app running under X11? Is this possible?

Thanks Bill
I just came across this thread. I did not know about the option-click method.
Curiously, the standard method works when pasting from X11 into an Apple app. The only thing different is one has to use the right mouse button to copy text in the X11 window, but then when pasting into TextEdit the usual cmd-v works fine.
Anyway, you have answered a question I did not even get a chance to ask because someone beat me to it.

Can copy but cannot PASTE from an AW 6 DB

I have a DB I've used for years. Originally created, I think, in Clarisworks 2.
It isn't too large: 500 items, and maybe 12 fields.
Recently, I have developed this problem which occurs on my G3 (sys 9) and my G5 (sys 10.4)....I've tried the same DB on both computers, and same problem...which is...
At times I need and want to select about 100 items (sorted), copy them (I "select all" then "copy") then I try to paste in a simple AW document ("control V"), or even into a Mail document, and once I click PASTE the application (AW) locks up. (I don't have any cut/copy/paste problems in any other appl)
However, I can copy and paste 5-10 items. But more than that, the application AW locks up. Or, in the case of Mail, Mail quits.
This is a recent problem
Ideas?
JON

If you're using the Control key, it won't work. You need to use the Command/⌘ key as a modifier for copy, paste, etc.
But, I don't think that's the problem, since you can copy & paste small amounts. It could be corrupt preferences that deleting the AppleWorks preferences might help. It's more likely a problem with that database, though. Databases are more prone to corruption than other AppleWorks file types. One trick that often works in removing minor corruption is to save the database as AppleWorks 5 & then re-open that file in AppleWorks 6. You do not need to have AppleWorks 5 to do this.

Cannot paste from windows (notepad) to X client

We bring up an X application GUI from Tarantella SGD and would like to copy the text from windows (notepad or excel) and paste it to the X application but paste doesn't work.
C&P works fine between xterm/dtterm and X application. But, it does not work between windows application and our X application.
Any ideas. Thank you very much.

Check to see if copy and paste is disabled on your windows terminal server's RDP-Properties.
Also, can you copy and paste from a remote Windows application session into a local application?

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.

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?

Moving from Corel Ventura into InDesign CS4 - prints dark

My company has been using Corel Ventura for years, up to version 10.   We are now switching in InDesign CS4, but everything is printing dark. We use it to publish black & white manuals, including some photos & vector art.
Ventura had an essentially unmanaged color workflow - everything was set to generic - i.e. - "Generic RGB" & "Generic CMYK"
In Indesign, currently we are using "North American General Purpose 2". The files are printed to a postscript file in InDesign.   Then made into a PDF via Distiller. The settings for the PS file & Distiller we are using came from LightingSource.com.
I was assuming that the problem came up in the creation of the PS file - under Color Handling - it is set to "Let InDesign Determine Colors". So I took the other option & used "Let PS printer determine colors"   The pages print lighter now, but they are actually too light. I'm not sure what to try next, given that any direct alteration of the printer setup is out of the question.
Any help would be great!!!
Lighting Source Settings - http://lightningsource.com/ops/files/premedia/PSsettingsINDcs4_PC_int.pdf

Not knowing more, this is a possible solution if you have Photoshop:
1. In Photoshop with no documents open: Edit Color Settings. By CMYK, Custom CMYK. Black Generation "Maximum"
2. Hit OK, but NOT to the whole Color Settings dialog, just the Custom CMYK dialog. Again in the CMYK pull down, "Save CMYK" Put the profile in your Color Sync folder where InDesign will recognize it. After you save it CANCEL. You don't really want to alter your Photoshop color settings, you just want to create the Max Black Generation profile
3. In InDesign. Create a top most layer on master page. Create a white box to fill the whole page. Set Blend Mode to "Color" Lock the layer.
4. Change the transparency blend space to RGB (Under Edit)
5. Assign the new Max Black CMYK profile to the ID document (Edit: Assign Profile)
6. Check with Separations Preview, you should have K channel only
7. Export PDF/X1a. By Output: Destination: "Document CMYK." You must flatten transparency when you output PDF, and X-1a will do this. The PDF result will be black and white, K channel only. Verify in Acrobat.
This process converts an all color InDesign document to K only CMYK. Dot Gain will be standard 20% but can be changed in step 1 when you create the custom CMYK.
Any grayscale images placed should not be affected by this workflow.
This process is the closest thing I know of to grayscale color management in InDesign.

Hi Nicholas,
To post a picture on our threads you can either attach the image or use a url to a picture. If you already have the url to the image you want to post, please just look at the image below on how to link that image on the post. If you need to attach the image to the thread first, you will need to post first and then, after posting, right-click on the image and select copy link location to get the link to where the image is stored. Then you need to edit your post by going to Options » Edit Message and add the image by using the image button. This is shown below.
In addition, did you post on the Signal Conditioning board because you had a question regarding signal conditioning?
Regards,

Copy in Hub (email password) cannot paste password I copied into a web page

None of any seemingly pertinent subjects had any answers to assist. I need to (as in 9810, copy anything, anywhere and paste anywhere. Ridiculous amt of time searching thru Forum and finding nothing similar to my need. Please, I can figure out how to paste (except in Documents) but strange I need a password link from email, copied and how can I log ito a website IF I cannot copy AND paste into site so I can login to that site.
Appreciate the new hub but not if I can't perform basics as in 9810. Deb

Highlight the text you want to copy. Depending on your OS version you should get a small menu that shows options for cut/copy/paste/ select, etc. If you don't, highlight the text, and hit the more key at the bottom and select Copy.
Then in the field you want to paste, touch and hold and you should get a pop up menu with a paste option. If you don't get the option, put the cursor in the field, hit the more button at the bottom, and then select paste.
That said, there are some fields where copy/paste doesn't work. If you're in an HTML email and the text is actually part of a picture you won't be able to copy it.

WILL NOT COPY FROM FLAT SCREEN OR DOCUMENT FEEDER ERROR" ORIGINAL MISFEED"

THIS HP 7525 HAS STOP COPYING FROM BOTH THE FLAT SCREEN AND AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER. HAS ERROR "ORIGINAL MISFEED" BUT THERE IS NO PAPER IN THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER" ANY SUGGESTION TO FIX THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECATED. THANK YOU

The Install disk has version 10.4 on it. I have also tried booting from my OS 10.5 disk but with no avail.
However, here is an update on my plight.
Apple tech says that after hearing the symptoms, he thinks that one of the processors is shot. Being that my particular model of G5 (dual 2.7 processors) is a liquid cooled machine, it's possible that some sort of leak has formed and has either taken out a processor or has caused a processor to overheat. He says that this model of G5 has been known to do that. In this case, nothing will boot which makes me think that my original system drive may actually be okay. I'm taking it in for the tech to look at it and just be sure that's the problem. However, if it is a dead processor, the part alone would run $799 plus labor to install it. Frankly, that's just too much for me to pay to keep this old G5. I'd rather put that money towards a new or reconditioned Mac Pro 8 core or quad core machine.
I've owned several Mac computers in the past and perhaps this is the frustration talking but it seems that no matter how diligent you are in maintaining your Macintosh, these machines only seem to last about 5 years before something majorly wrong happens (mother board, processor, etc). Can I expect this same, limited time frame from a new Mac Pro? I mean, am I just being paranoid?
