Cant copy text and paste into google search box

i like to copy text an paste instead of repeatedly typing and the paste function in the right click menu is greyed out. cant paste

SUPPLEMENT TO MY PREVIOUS POST
The copy and paste into dialog boxes works just fine.  I suspect that my earlier problem was due to not being familiar with the new computer's keyboard.  I am used to the CTRL key being located at the bottom left of the keyboard.  The new keyboard has the Fn key in that position.  I must have pressed Fn instead of CTRL.  The old habits die hard.  I feel like for not noticing this earlier.

  • COPY AND PASTE INTO WIN7 DIALOG BOX

    Hi,
    I am new to Win7 and Lenovo Technologies.  I am not sure if this post belongs here or if my problem has to do with Lenovo password management, which I have not yet set up on my new ThinkPad W700. 
    I am unable to copy information from a text file and paste it into a Win 7 dialog box.  I am in a process of loading software from my old machine into the new one.  I have all relevant information on keys, etc., in text files within my installed software archive.  Manual retyping is a pain!  The copy and paste function works just fine outside of the dialogue boxes. 
    Can someone advise me what I need to do in order to allow the pasting of information into the dialogue boxes possible?
    Solved!

  • Copying photo and pasting into different project

    this should be an easy one, yet i can't figure it out. i simply want to copy a photo in one project and paste the copy into another project. i don't want to move the photo.

    Just hold down the option key while dragging from one project folder to another - this will copy it, make sure you have the actual project folder as the drop target.
    Realize you rarely need to copy anything to make it show up somewhere - if you create an album anywhere you can chuck images into the album from anywhere else and they will not be copied but just displayed together.

  • Copy & Paste into Google Maps no longer works after 4.2 update

    Anyone else seem to be getting this problem? Copy and paste into Google maps was extremely useful. Now this doesn't seem to work for me after updating to 4.2.

    1. Copy something into the clipboard (doesn't matter what it is)
    2. Open Google maps
    3. Try to paste into the search bar. You don't get the paste option.
    4. Try to type something into the search bar then attempt to copy what you just typed. No options appear to copy what was just typed in.
    This used to work prior to the 4.2 update. Very useful when receiving incomplete addresses via text message or from a web page.

  • How can I copy and paste from Google "Keep"? Whenever i try, the copied text doesn't get copied on the Firefox clipboard, it copies to my 'default' clipboard.

    I can't get the Firefox clipboard to appear when i try to copy from Google Keep. Please help, thanks.

    Hi again LvScience:
    (jsoulless40's advice (thanks js40!) of trying the desktop site in Firefox when using the Keep web app is fine but i think you are using the Keep App right, not the web app version right?)
    Thanks for the device info: "Android OS is 4.1.2 on a Samsung Rugby Pro". I don't have that tablet but I do have two android samsung tablets running 4.x
    I should have asked before:
    '''What exact steps where you following when you copied and pasted into a "newly opened document"'''
    My steps were (on my Samsung Tab S 10 running 4.4.2):
    # in Firefox selected and then copied some text
    # switched to Google's Keep app
    # '''successfully pasted the text in Keep into the "Add quick note", also tapped on the new note icon and pasted the text into a new note'''

  • Why can I not copy text from a file and paste into "File Name" when saving?

    I thought I used to do this but I cannot copy a string of text from within AI (CS5, CS6 or CC) then "save as" and paste into the "file name" field. Why would this be?
    This proceedure works fine in Photoshop.
    Mac OSX 10.7.5.

    I am copying the characters not the object. Something seems to have changed at the system level. I can paste the text to other applications (Skype, Word, etc.) but not the "Save" dialog. I have been pasting the text to a Skype message window and re-copying. Then it will paste into the save dialog. Weird.
    I see you are on 10.6.8. Maybe it's a system difference.

  • How do I copy text and objects from pages to and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email

    Anyone know how I copy text and objects from pages and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email, thanks

    You can't expect Mail to support all the objects of Pages which can include anything up to charts generated from spreadsheet tables.
    Even if Mail was a superset of Pages, what would the recipients who don't have either Mail or Pages, make of it?

  • Can't copy text or images from webpages and paste into word documents or notepad

    Today suddenly I cannot copy text or images from webpages (I tried many different ones) and paste into my word 2010 document or notepad. What can I do to get this ability back. Yesterday it worked fine. It does not appear to be a problem with word or notepad so I have to assume it is a problem with Firefox

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Cs4 copy and paste into word

    Hi
    Can someone please tell me how to copy a picture with no background in cs4 and paste into word again without the background

    Huh! Shows how little I know about Word these days.
    I found you can even do a text wrap around an object in a PNG file.

  • Copy and paste into dialog boxes

    Copy and paste into dialog boxes
    Greetings:
    This is a cross post, so sorry about that, but I had originally replied to a previous post,
    before I realized it was probably the wrong forum
    for my question.
    Copying from a document to a dialog box field doesn't work anymore; How do I fix it?
    We have the problem since upgrading to Tiger.
    Our Mac users, during their workflow, paste a filename
    from a document into the 'save as' field (when printing to a .ps file).
    This no longer works. UNLESS they control click in the 'save as' field.
    Then they can select 'paste' with the mouse. Why is this happening? and how can we fix it? (so they can just 'command C' then 'command V' as they used to).
    We have repaired permissions, cleared user caches,
    tossed finder prefs, logged in as another user,
    all to no avail.
    Thanks in advance!
    z

    Matt,
    Thanks for your response.
    I agree that something else is capturing the shortcut, as
    all shortcuts are unavailable in the pulldown menus at that point where we used to be able to 'Command V' paste into the text field. We're not using Quick Keys, and the
    Full keyboard access setings are default for OS 10.4.
    I did experiement with turning of some of the modifier F key selections in the Keyboard system prefs but none made
    any change for this issue. For now our work around will be to control click in the text field and select 'paste'.
    Seems odd that the contextual menu is available for that field but a 'command V' or command control V doesn't work.
    Not a huge deal, more of an irritant, but I'll keep on the hunt! Thanks again!

  • I cannot copy from any website opened in FIrefox and paste into Word since using Windows 7, Office 7.

    it sure would be nice if Firefox had technical help that customers could call for help.
