Captivate 7 Widget Copy/Pasting Text Creates Double Text

I'm using Captivate 7 on a Mac OS X.9 machine and every time we use a Insert>Interaction and have to paste text from either a Word doc or plain text document the text double pastes into the Interaction Widget. This causes issues because its difficult to edit text in the small widget area. Also, once pasted the Widget removes all the paragraph spacing.

We understand not to copy text from Word which is why we copy it from Word, paste it into a plain text document to remove all formatting, then paste it into the Interaction. It still pastes in double. This has happened in the following types and it is only a MAC issue. We can replicate it on two Macs in the office but not on any Windows machines.
We do use Full Screen but its still small and I have a very large screen.
Accordian, Tabs, Process Circle, Timeline, Circle Matrix, Pyramid (both), Glossary. These are the ones we have used/tested.

  • Copy/paste a cluster of text boxes to a new document. They all paste rotated 90°.

    The orientation of both documents is identical - 11x17, landscape.
    I have tried rotating the source document before copying. I've tried rotating the target document before and after copying. I've played with the printer settings, page setup, orientation, the works. I've tried chatting with customer support, and they never respond. I've searched the web and all the fora I can find, and everything has come up poor.
    This is driving me mad. It makes the whole concept of copy/paste useless. Existing forum answers and a deep web search have come up poor. Any hope before I slit my throat? Thanks in Advance.

  • Why can't I copy, paste or save as text?

    I use a Mac v. 10.6.7 and Adobe reader v. 9.4.4. In my job, I get sent a variety of documents in Adobe. Sometimes I can copy and paste text and sometimes I can't. What is the secret that will allow me to quickly and reliably copy and paste text from an Adobe document to a Word document? And I've tried saving Adobe documents as text and never, not once, has the document been saved as text. The new Adobe file always is just blank. Thank you for your help.

    For the most part yes.
    There are some idiosyncrasies with using OCR so unless you are creating the scans themselves and can control how they are being created, you may run across some that don't work easily.
    I would suggest installing the trial version of Acrobat. It's good for 30 days and by then you should have a good idea whether it will work for your situation.

  • I cannot drag items (files, maps) and drop them. And neither can I copy paste anything, not even text!

    I just bought a new MacBook Air, at the start of November. And recently I can't copy files or maps, and neither can I drag and drop them. This get's really annoying as I kinda need this possibility when I study! Please help!

    Hello GiaDuke,
    i am having exactly the same issue, however my problem started prior to updating to 10.5.7. I updated in the hope that it would resolve the issue.
    copy and paste no longer works. Cut works but i can not re-paste the copied/cut text. Neither mouse or keyboard shortcuts work.
    i can select, click, double click etc with no problems. Applications and files launch when i click them, scrolling etc works fine.
    2 things i have noticed:
    1) Spotlight has dissapeared from my menu bar. Keyboard shortcuts for Spotlight no longer work. I have been into spotlight preferences and all seems normal, yet still no spotlight.
    2) When i hover over a link or icon, often additional information pops up. This is no longer happening. It's almost as if the system doesnt know where the mouse cursor actually is on the screen.
    While i still have a useable system, it is extremely frustrating not having the most basic functionality of cutting and pasting, draging and dropping, he ability to move files and icons around etc.
    HELP!!!!!!

  • Copy-Paste Function in GUIXT Text Editor ?

    Dear All,
    We have upgraded our SAP System from 4.6  to ECC 6.0 Version.
    In 4.6 Version, for the PASTE Option, we use the " /9 " Option for pasting teh content from the clipboard.
    But, in the newer version, we are not able to use that option. when we use that option a message is thrown as follows:
    " This function Code doesnot exist".
    I've gone thru the Synactive help and other documents. I even checked for teh OSS Notes. But no clues !!!
    Does any one know how to solve this issue ?
    Regards,
    Deepu.K

    Crappy attitude to have when you are asking us for help, don't you think?
    Those prefs aren't applicable in Firefox any longer. If the Rich Text window doesn't provide those commands, you'll have to use the keyboard commands - or go without.

  • Trying to send copy/pasted content into a mass text message

    I have composed a message (some copied and pasted from an online bible) (and also commentary that I add to it) and saved it as a draft in my yahoo email on my computer. I save it as a draft. I open the draft on my iPhone 4. Then copy/paste content into a text message to send to my congregation. Many of the recipients of the text get duplicate messages with no/or partial content. I have contacted my carrier and I am fully set up to send receive both sms and mms.
    What could be the cause of this?
    How can I fix it so that the receivers of my daily message get it properly?

    When i create a message on my iPhone4 and save it into notes. it goes to my draft ( Mail ) on my computer. That tells me that there is no difference in where i create the message at. But between the copying and pasting i'm losing or something is being changed. Some of my friends are getting multiple messages and some are getting blank pages. We all have different carriers. ( T Mobile, Sprint,Verzion ) I'm waiting on another phone so i can use both of them to see if i can get my messages out

  • Copy/Paste creates clones........

    If I copy (Cmd-C) part of a region and paste it (Cmd-V) somewhere else, it creates a clone of the first region. In fact the clone behavior is sometimes weird like dragging the front of the clip to the right makes the clone rear drag to the left! Glitches aside, is there a way to copy/paste without creating a clone, ie:independant region? I see that it does work by option dragging, however I would prefer to use the first method for multiple fixes. Thanks.

    Same thing happens here. Shouldn´t work that way. I usually use Opt-drag, so I hadn´t noticed this bug before. If it is a bug, that is. If not, a peculiar feature.

    Hi Bjoern,
    I'm not sure that InDesign ever really copies a story, just the text in the story. Since the label and the track changes setting were associated with the story itself (and not with the text in the story), they didn't survive the transfer from one story to another.
    It may depend on how you copy/paste--I'd expect the above to be true if you copy/paste with the Type tool, but I'm not sure what happens if you copy/paste all of the text frames in a story using the Selection tool. It may be that the label is maintained in that case.
    Thanks,
    Ole

  • Copy paste ios 8

    SInce upgrading to iOS 8 (& its subsequent upgrades), I've had problems copying & pasting text between & within apps.  The amount of text to be copied doesn't seem to matter.  If I successgully copy & paste a bit of text, the successful bit of text is pasted repeatedly even after subsequent attempts to copy other bits of text.
    Sometimes I can get text to copy if I hold down the tap of the copy button for up to 10 seconds, but this is not consistently successful.
    Suggestions gratefully received.

    Here's an app that could provide a work-around ...

  • Crashing issue+ copy/ paste issue

    Dear all, I am facing two serious bug issues:
    1) on many www pages I am facing serious issue (e.g. www.makezine.com , but also on almost all others I was browsing). After approx 20 sec to several minutes firefox browser close itself and home android page appear. There is no error message at all
    2) once I copy any text outside firefox browser, then I not end it to any text field on Web page opened under firefox browser, there is no way to paste it
    Can you please fix these bugs? My smartphone is samsung galaxy s5, android v 4.2 (kitkat)
    Thanks.

    Hi olsi:
    * 2. steps to reproduce crash problem as per your screenshots
    ** i) highlight text "display the word 'paste'..."
    ** ii) copy the text
    ** iii) long press on 'Aaa' and then 'Aaa" is selected
    ** iv) tap on combined clipboard copy/paste icon and '''the text 'Aaa' is copied instead the desired behaviour which is to paste "display the word 'paste'..."'''
    * 3. to fix this, the workaround I believe is to do the following instead of 2 iv):
    ** iv) tap on the checkmark icon first to make sure 'Aaa' is not selected and then long press and use the combined clipboard copy/paste icon to paste (or on some devices a Paste icon instead of the combined clipboard copy/paste icon will be shown and you can use this Paste icon). I found this workaround here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1086933#c7:
    <blockquote>
    "The "Paste" popup is finicky in the URLBar. Because you had a selection already, we show the ActionBar. If you would have cleared the URLBar selection and then long-pressed, you would have seen the "Paste" popup."
    </blockquote>
    '''Again olsi thanks for your patience and please let us know if the workaround 3 iv) works'''

  • [CS3] How to cut/copy/paste text frame without link

    Hi All,
    Please tell me how I will cut/copy and paste text frame with ignoring or removing links of text frame.
    After copying, the original text frame must contain its link but the newly create text frame should contain any link.
    Thanks,
    Aman Alam

    hey thanks for responding. pasting through text edit works, but if i just copy from the quote block and paste in the top of the message body, it keeps the quote formatting. if i Paste as Quotation, then it double-quotes it--two side bars...
    i guess part of the problem that i just realized, too, is that Mail must convert a message to rich text if you choose to quote text in a reply. because otherwise it could not possibly color the text, right? when i paste out of Mail and into Text Edit, the text color i saw in mail is preserved, meaning the text itself must contain formatting data (rich text).
    is there no way to reply to a mail and include the previous message as a quote without switching to rich text?

  • How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

    I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3?  Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste...  It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes.  Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
    Seriously, am I missing something?  I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create.  So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
    Thoughts? Solutions?
    I am running 3.4.3 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.3

  • Garbled text when copy-pasted from a pdf document in Preview

    I have this PDF document which I created in NeoOffice. When I copy some text from it, then paste it somewhere (or just go to Finder>Edit>Show Clipboard) I see garbled text. Or, if I go into the search field within Preview and type a word which I know exists in the PDF, it doesn't find it. But if I copy-paste it from the PDF document window into the search field, the copied term appears garbled in the search field itself, but I do get search results.
    This happens only with this particular document, which I myself produced. No password/encryption or anything weird; just a straightforward print job from within NeoOffice.
    Any clues? Many thanks.

    happens to me all the time in preview, copying something that I need to paste, like a URL. Quitting and relaunching usually solves it, but now that won't work on the text I am copying today.

  • How can I prevent copy/pasting of text from my PDF?

    I'm having trouble creating PDF security that DOES NOT allow copying of text. It seems I follow the security steps yet still am able to copy/paste.

    Yes, I have figured that out and found I need a customized PDF viewer. It didn't occur to me to use a company that creates e-books, etc.  Thank you for your help today.
