Cannot paste text

I am having trouble with Pages 5.2 (1860) as it operates with Mavericks. In a word processing document I need to insert multiples copies of the same customary piece of text at intervals throughout the document.
With the older Pages this was easy. I just created another WP document, entered my text and saved it to a folder. Then when I needed it, I chose Menu - Insert, opened the folder, pressed Choose, selected the document and pressed Open. The text then appeared in my original document at the insertion point.
This doesn’t work with the Pages update. The file is there in the folder OK, but it’s ghosted and can’t be opened.
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas, anyone?

Makes a change fruhulda, to the billboard lettering and ALL CAPS some like to throw at us!

  • Cannot paste text into a text layer in Photoshop

    Since a couple of days ago I cannot paste text into a photoshop text layer from any other source, like safari, word etc.
    I get an "popup error"-window in swedish (my language) saying something like "Could not complete the paste text command because the clipboard data was invalid or missing."
    Anyone having the same issue? Or maybe a fix on the problem? Of course i've tried restarting photoshop and also the computer. Running Mac OS X Yosemite and the latest Photoshop CC 2014.

    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.

  • Cannot paste text from CS3 to Word or Notepad.

    Cannot paste text from Photoshop CS3 to Word or Notepad or anything else. CAN paste from Word and Notepad TO Photoshop CS3. CAN paste within Photoshop CS3.
    (I HAVE applied the clipboard registry fix mentioned elsewhere.)

    There is a setting in the General Preferences you need to have checked to enable "Export to Clipboard". Do you have this entry checked? After you set this, you may have to re-start PS3 to activate the new setting.

  • Cannot paste text from other application into a signed applet in JRE1.4.1

    I have a signed applet. I just upgrade the JRE from 1.4.0 to JRE 1.4.1 (applet has been recompiled with JDK1.4.1). Then I tried to copy-paste text into a JTextArea from another application like Notepad. It doesn�t work. I can only copy-paste text from the applet itself. But this does work when I use JRE 1.40, 1.3.x.
    Thank you for any help.

    Thank you, Viravan.

    The link is a test applet. It has two JTextFields and a JButton. You can copy-paste text between the two JTextFields with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. But you cannot copy-paste text between the applet and other application such as Notepad, MS Word. It seems that the applet don?t have enough permissions. But it does be signed. I also put a button on the applet and you can use it to browse your local files. That indicates the applet signed well. Fail to copy-paste between signed applet and other application only happen when using JRE 1.4.1. If you use JRE 1.4.0 or 1.3, it works fine.
    The following if the test applet code:
    package test;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.applet.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class PasteTest extends JApplet {
    boolean isStandalone = false;
    JTextField txt1 = new JTextField();
    JTextField txt2 = new JTextField();
    JButton btnOpen = new JButton();
    public PasteTest() {
    public void init() {
    try {
    jbInit();
    catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    private void jbInit() throws Exception {
    this.setSize(new Dimension(400,300));
    btnOpen.setText("Select File");
    btnOpen.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    btnSelectFile_actionPerformed(e);
    txt1.setText("Test");
    this.getContentPane().add(txt1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    this.getContentPane().add(txt2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    this.getContentPane().add(btnOpen, BorderLayout.EAST);
    void btnSelectFile_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser("c:\\");
    int state = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
    File f = chooser.getSelectedFile();
    if(state == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION){
    return;
    else{
    txt1.setText(f.getAbsolutePath());
    Thanks again

  • 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.

  • Cannot paste text into After Effects CS4

    Hi there,
    I've searched all over and I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious; but how do you copy and paste text from one program into an active text box in AE CS4?
    I'm adding credits to a video and I need to put down some copyright info - and I want to copy and paste all the details so I don't need to type it all.
    But I can work around that - I can just type it. However, I want to copy the © symbol in - and this is what happens.
    I open character map, search for "copy" and select this "©" and click on copy, jump into ae, go into an active text box with cursor blinking, and Cntr+V for paste and boom! - there I have a whole phrase jump in - which was whatever I last copied from AE text box -- NOT what I just copied from character map.
    But then I come over here to the forums and without copying that symbol again, I just hit paste and it pastes it right in here.
    It acts the same way with other text, from browser, from photoshop (active text box - copy selected text).
    I would assume there's a way to copy and paste, but what am I missing?

    Allow me to be slightly embarrassed - you must be exactly right. This morning I went back and tried again, and it worked perfectly!
    Still makes me wonder why it didn't work yesterday - I restarted Adobe but didn't restart the computer like I did over night.
    My system:
    Windows 7 Pro (64-bit)
    Intel i7 X980 3.33GHz
    750 GB system drive
    2TB Media drive
    12 GB Memory
    GeForce GTX 470
    Running Adobe Production Premium CS4
    AE version 9.0.3.8
    Font used: Adobe Caslon Pro
    Copied from character map with font: Adobe Caslon Pro
    Everything in English (US)
    I had a project in AE that was 80 seconds long, no external video footage but all built in AE at 1280 X 720, 30 fps
    I'm guessing some background process maybe messed the clipboard up? Anyway, it works now and I guess it was a one-time occurence. If I can ever recreate this repeatedly - I'll be back here!
    thanks!

  • Cannot paste text from Safari as PLAIN TEXT

    Safari 2.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.4.9.
    Text copied from some web pages like
    http://www.eloquentsw.com/livedictionary.html
    cannot be pasted as plain unformated text. For instance, into Eudora Headings (which should paste it as plain text) or using Shift Command V to paste (which should paste it as plain text).
    But if I copy such text, paste in a web form like this and then copy from here, then it pastes as plain text.
    No problem using other browsers like Firefox. The issue only arises with Safari.
    Any idea? Thanks.

    You might be stuck, then, unless someone else knows a keyboard shortcut that does what you want.
    My workaround for problems like this has always been to paste into a plain text editor (like BBEdit or TextWrangler), then copy and re-paste into the target document. Yes, it's a workaround, but it does work.

  • Problem: xclip - cannot paste text into Firefox

    1. I put text from clipboard into a file called "temporary.tmp":
    xclip -o -selection clipboard > temporary.tmp
    2. I do certain manipulations on the file.
    3. I want to get the file back to clipboard:
    xclip -i -selection clipboard < temporary.tmp
    Problem: Putting the clipboard's contents into temporary.tmp works, and all the manipulations are successful. However, the "Paste" button in Firefox is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?

    For Firefox forms neither "Paste" from the menu or middle click seem to work, while elsewhere it is possible to paste the text with middle click. I assume there is something wrong with my approach to the problem. I will define what I want to accomplish. Maybe someone has got a better idea. I am rather newbie-sh with Linux scripting at this point.
    Goal
    1. Select text # The text is in a web site form in Firefox
    2. Press a keyboard shortcut
    3. The text is replaced with something else
    My solution, which obviously didn't quite work
    1. Select text
    2.1. Cut text
    2.2. Press a keyboard shortcut to execute a script, which will put selection into a file &
    2.3. Modify the file &
    2.4. Put the modified file to clipboard < FAIL
    3. Paste the text

  • I cannot paste text into my Hotmail account that I've copied elsewhere, using the mouse. This is only happening on Firefox.

    I added the suggested extention, AllowClipboard Helper, but perhaps it wasn't meant for that. I'd hate to give up Firefox, but it's making me nuts.

  • Users can't paste text into region

    My users are able to access regions and add text, but they
    cannot paste text from anything other than a .pdf. The formatting
    is an issue with this method, however, and some of the users are
    very limited in their experience. I am wondering if this is because
    of my template setup or if it is an issue with the server? Here is
    my template. Let me know if anything pops out as weird...

    Got it. I guess I should have validated my code before

  • I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook.

    I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook. I opened Safari and tapped/held the text I wanted to copy, but nothing happened. I have tried everything, and I am getting frustrated.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

  • Cannot paste formatted text.

    I am using ID CS 3 on a Macbook Pro, running OS 10.6.2.
    My problem is that I have text formatted italic and bold from Text Edit but I cannot paste the formatted text (or import it) into ID without losing all formatting. I went to this Discussion Forum and looked there first and the only fix I am finding is to make sure that preferences allow me to paste formatted text. In my ID preferences it is selected that when pasting text from the clipboard that all styles will be retained but this is not what happens. I can copy and paste the formatted text in TextEdit and can also create formatted text within ID and copy and paste that as well. But I cannot do this between the two programs.
    Any suggestions?

    What I am trying to place is an rtf text.
    What I have done since posting this issue:
    1. Restarted ID several time, restarted computer.
    2. Logged in on another account, bypassing all logon items.
    3. Disabled all added plugins, leaving just the Adobe and required plugins.
    4. Started with a fresh ID document.
    None of this has solved the problem, I simply CANNOT paste in formatted text.
    Other suggestions?

  • Preview - Cannot copy and paste text from pdf

    Hi there ...
    I usually have no problem copying and pasting text from a pdf using Preview ...
    However .. I recently received a pdf ... and there is no way it will highlight the text to copy ...
    The older pdf's are not affected ...
    I did a get info on the pdf ... it's not locked ... and it was made by Adobe In Design CS2
    I tried opening it with Adobe Reader 9 ...... but still no luck
    IN my search .. I noticed one other person had the same problem ... but he didn't get any responses..
    Thanks for any info ....

    If it's behind something else then you can open it in Illustrator and select the specific object you want. If it's rasterized then no.
    If this is a document you can share with the world then I'm sure we could tell you what specifically is going on if you posted it here.
