Clipboard Handling ... font is not retained

I do this same project at the end of each year, and this was not a problem with InDesign last year. 
When I copy Arial 13pt text in Excel 2011 (Mac) and paste into the current version of InDesign CC, the font styling is lost.  InDesign converts the text to it's default: Minion Pro 12pt.
As always, I have my preferences in InDesign set ... Preferences > Clipboard Handling > Paste All Information (Index Markers, Swatches, Styles, etc.) is enabled.  Note that "Styles" is an attribute that InDesign is supposed to retain when pasting into InDesign CC.
1. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
2. Is there a known workaround for this?
Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestion, Laubender.  The font styling is retained by TextEdit, but InDesign still does not retain the font styling when the text is copied in TextEdit & pasted into InDesign.
It turns out this is a bug in InDesign for Mac, and I reported the bug.
I happen to have Windows 8.1 Pro installed on this same iMac.  When I performed the same task in InDesign for Windows, InDesign retains the font styling successfully.  So, this is just a problem Adobe needs to fix in InDesign for Mac.
Lucky I have Windows machines available. 
Thank you again.

  • [SOLVED] Console Font Not Retained After Reboot

    Hi, again.  Happy to report that I successfully installed Arch Linux last night, with no problems whatsoever.  Thanks to those who addressed my concerns.  Still reading up on the package manager, user and group management, etc.
    Anyway, one of the first things I noticed is that the console font gets reset after every reboot.  I need to manually type "setfont Lat2-Terminus16" - which works just fine, except for the annoyance in having to do that each time I boot up.  My /etc/vconsole.conf has the following:
    KEYMAP=us
    FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
    Following the solution described here:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155876
    I added 'consolefont' (without quotes) to the beginning (first item) of the HOOKS line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.  Then I rebuilt the initramfs by typing "mkinitcpio -p linux".  Again, no errors during the rebuild.
    I've rebooted several times, but there's no change...  my selected console font is not retained.
    Can anyone point what I'm doing wrong, or offer ideas?  Thanks.

    Have you tried
    If the fonts seems to not change on boot, or change only temporarily, it is most likely that they got reset when graphics driver was initialized and console was switched to framebuffer. To avoid this, load your graphics driver earlier. See for example KMS#Early_KMS_start or other ways to setup your framebuffer before /etc/vconsole.conf gets applied.

  • Reports not retaining carriage returns from htmldb_item.textarea

    I’m created a tabular form for multi row updates using htmldb_item.textarea for one of the fields. When I update the tabular form it keeps any carriage returns in this field, which is good. I then created a “PL/SQL function body returning a SQL Query” report for printing purposes. The problem is that the field populated by the htmldb_item.textarea does not retain any of the carriage returns in the report.
    I enter the following in the textarea on the tabular form:
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
    The report I created then displays the data as:
    Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
    I need the report to display the data the same as it appears on the tabular form.
    I tried this in my report from reading other similar situations on this forums, but didn’t work.
    replace("TEXTAREA",''||chr(13)||'',''||
    ||'') as title
    Anyone know of a solution?

    How about this?
    Go the page where you can edit the report column attribute - here is the bread crumb to help you figure out what I am talking about
    Home>Application Builder>Application 99999>Page Definition>Report Attributes>Column Attributes
    The second box in this page is Column formatting, you will find 4 text boxes (Number / Date Format, CSS Class, CSS Style, Highlight words) and a text area (HTML Expression). In the text area replace #COLUMN_ALIAS# with <PRE>#COLUMN_ALIAS</PRE>. You will get your newlines without tweaking the query or removing Strip HTML. Strip HTML is a security feature that I would not disable. On the down side you will loose some of the ability to format like fonts etc (:-(,
    Here is why you loose the newlines in the report. When browsers render html they have the liberty to reformat it. When reformating they can play around with whitespaces including new lines. To force a new line you have to use the BR tag or you can say the text is preformated using the PRE tags.

  • In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
    each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
    ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
    It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
    Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
    However, even if presented with multiple prints with
    the same name, the spooler should print each one!
    The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
    As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

  • InDesign CS6 will not retain preferences

    One of my users was recently upgraded from CS5 to Design and Web Premium CS6.  The first issue is that the InDesign program crashes for no apparent reason from time to time.  Secondly, the InDesign program will not retain any preferences.  If the program crashes and is restarted, the preferences are lost.  Also, if the program is closed normally and reopened, the preferences are lost.  This started happening about one month ago and prior to that, there were no problems. 
    I have searced the forums and internet for a solution and while I've been able to find similar issues with other users, I cannot find a resolution.  Re-installaiton of the program has not produced a resolution.  Can anyone assist with this frustrating problem.

    I'm sorry Pete...I didn't quite get your response.  Can you reboot into safe mode, disable all drivers, turn off your virus protection, uninstall the latest service pack and then reinstall it, check your fonts because bad fonts can cause problems in getting responses through.
    Pete...I don't disrespect you. I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU.  I'm sure that your intentions are always legit and that you truly TRY to help people.  My only issues are that I came her for help and would rather have a dozen people shrug their shoulders and say "IDUNNO" rather than getting the same old questions about drivers, service packs, virus protection, firewalls or first born male childs birthdate.  While I may have been aggressive in looking for a solution....I did find your responses to be a bit patronizing and belittling.  I do not disrespect you.
    A different philosophy?  ABSO-FREAKING-LOUTLEY!!!  I'm more of a "fix the problem guy".  Forget the amputation...put the poor ******* out of his misery and perform a Frankenstein ritual to bring him back to life (My analogy for a quick re-image from my deployment server).  Fortunately for me, I was able to solve the issue by simply recreating a user profile.
    Once again, thanks Pete for you response.

  • Copy and Paste on Safari 5.0.2 does not retain formatting

    Hi there.
    I'm on Safari 5.0.2. and when I copy and paste something (in this case, on a message board--vBulletin, but it doesn't work on anything else) it does not retain the original formatting (for example--bold, italics, underline, etc.) If I copy something from Safari and paste it into another program, TextEdit for example, the formatting remains and works fine.
    This is extremely annoying. Anyone have any ideas?
    *If you're on Safari, try copying* and *pasting this sentence in a reply* --it will remove all the formatting for some reason. It will work in TextEdit, however. It's not just this message board software either...try it somewhere else too.
    Message was edited by: FINALBOSS

    Hi
    copying formatted text & pasting in Safari does retain the formatting, so long as the place you're pasting it supports varying fonts/styles.
    So copy/paste here, just shows as plain text.
    c/p to blogger.com in the 'compose' tab - works fine
    c/p to blogger in the 'html' tab - plain text
    same with textedit: paste from safari to textedit +in a plain text document+ -you get plain text.

  • Font Installation not Happening

    I realize this is more of an encompassing "Design CS4" question, but since there isn't a forum dedicated to the package as a whole... .  I am having serious difficulties with installing fonts to the design software from my computer (Control Panel).  I have tried to use ATM Light, but no go, the fonts I need to install are not showing up!  I had no problems installing Helvetica PostScript fonts, but the Helvetica TrueType fonts are not installing (see attached screen shot).  I have tried installing them directly from my computer and again from the Helvetica font CD.  I am on a PC, using CS4.  My coworker (same setup, same software) had no trouble at all installing these fonts.  My network administrator has no idea what the problem could be and has all but given up on trying to help me.  Unfortunately, I am on deadline with several projects that need to utilize the Helvetica TrueType fonts.  If I need to clarify this issue a bit more, please let me know.

    Well, when I said that multiple formats of identically-named fonts are a source of issues, I wasn't kidding.
    1) Tell us your OS! It matters.
    2) Yank all Helveticas from your machine
    3) Try to copy (not install) straight from the disk to your \Adobe\InDesign CS4\Fonts folder
    4) If they all show up in ID, you know that they're successfully being copied off the disk.
    5) If they don't all show up in ID using this method, you know it's not a PS-fonts-versus-Windows problem. (InDesign doesn't use the parts of WIndows that handle fonts; Adobe wrote their own font-handling stuff.)
    Nos. 3-5 are meaningless if you are unsuccessful in completing no. 2.
    Oh yeah, are you sure they're not installing? Font naming conventions are odd sometimes, and your 55 Roman Italic might be showing up in InDesign as a separate font, or as a style of Helvetica. (If you still have Helvetica truetypes installed and this italic face is one of your Postscript faces, then that's your problem right there.)

  • PC Suite Prob - Sent Msgs Not Retained

    I am trying to send a message from my PC Suite connected to my 6300 cellphone via USB cable. 
    If I type the message on my PC, the message is sent, but it's not retained in the Sent Items folder of the PC Suite nor the cellphone unit.  The message is confirmed received by the recipient (I tested sending a message to myself & the Inboxes of both PC Suite & my cellphone unit display it).
    If I type the message on my cellphone unit, the message IS RETAINED on the Sent Items folder of the cellphone unit & it appears later as well on the Sent Items folder of the PC Suite.
    Has anyone experienced this before, and how do I fix it?
    I have already tried running the PC Suite Cleaner & reinstalling PC Suite 7.1.40.1.  I have also brought my cellphone unit to the local service center, and they claimed to have "reformatted" it.  But the problem remains. 
    Environment:   PC Suite 7.1.40.1, Windows XP SP3, Connection via USB cable, Cellphone unit Nokia 6300 (bought May 2009).

    Yes, this is really incredible....
    I have joined Nokia Discussions Forum just to find the solution to this malfunction, but it looks like we (users/consumers) are doomed to it, comparing to all you can find on other topics.
    Imagine this:
    ... Nokia 6300 cell phone
    ... Pc Suite 7.1.40.1
    ... Nokia Communication Center
     Everything is there for convenient and comprehensive SMS/MMS sending... really great interface.
    You enter everything and press SEND....   and....
    N O T H I N G! Message got sent, but for you personal data base, this message never existed!!!  **bleep**!?
    What a shame for Nokia. But I really have faith in PC Suit department to solve this extremely annoying bug. Come on! Make it useable! Release a new version, patch, hot fix, or something, anything! Does anyone responsible read these comments at all?
    I have heard some rumors newer phones can handle this "saving sent" issue. Does anyone have a list of those phones?
    Once again –WHAT AN ANNOYING MALFUNCTION!!!

  • Pages cannot handle fonts

    Many users seem to be reporting the missing fonts error with Pages; however, the problem seems to be more fundamental. Pages has the same problem that AppleWorks and ClarisWorks also had. All three programs have a problem handling fonts. Pages for instance will invariably say that fonts I never used are missing, and then it proceeds to changes fonts throughout the document. This even occurs in simple documents with one font, no italics, no boldface, etc.
    Worse still, pasting a ruler can cause Pages to change the font in the affected paragraph. This was also a defect in AppleWorks. Can we get this fixed, people? A word processor that cannot handle fonts reliably isn't much good, even if many other features are terrific, as they are in Pages. Who can afford to reformat a document every time he opens it?
    Steve Aird

    Steve. this forum is built upon people who try to help other people. We try to resolve issues which occur and offer solutions.
    To do that we need more information.
    What was the origin of the document? Was it from Word? There are some instances where Word embeds bullets (even though they are not used) for unknown reasons and the font used for those bullets is missing from the OS install.
    Are the files from another computer? If so the font may not have been installed on your computer.
    Did you do an upgrade recently or move to another computer? If you copied the iWork files from one computer to another, but not the fonts which were included, those fonts will be missing. Reinstall iWork and perrform the updating procedures through Software Update.
    Do you have dupllicate fonts on your system? Sometimes fonts will have the same name and yet be different internally. Fonts reside in several places so they can cause confilcts. Use Fontbook to resolve these issues.
    There are far more cases where Pages and Keynote are working properly than those who are having problems.
    BTW. where are you pasting rulers from? I don't see that in the Pages manual. Just curious.

  • MP3 song information not retained after iTunes 7.0 - ID3 tags at fault?

    I'm having some strange problems with track information in iTunes. I first noticed it when I tried to copy some mp3's from my Mac to my mobile phone: certain tracks did not retain the song information, like artist, album etc., while others did.
    A similar problem has been discussed in this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3698498
    However, my problem seems to be a little bit more specific.
    If I look at the music in my library in iTunes, all the track information is there. However, for MP3's encoded after 16th October last year, the "Imported With" field, using Get Info, is shown as "Unknown". Before this date, it is shown as "iTunes v7.0". For all MP3's the ID3 version is v2.2.
    I believe that I must have upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1 around this time, since I have a number of Apple Lossless audio files which have also been imported and don't show this problem.
    The main problem is with the file ID3 tag information (I think). If I select one of the problem tracks, find the original file, open it up in Quicktime and "Get Info", no track/album/artist/composer information is displayed. This is NOT true for 1) MP3's encoded before 16th October 2006 and 2) Apple Lossless files encoded at any time.
    In other words, the track information for songs encoded with iTunes 7.0.1 and later is either encoded in a way that no other application can read, OR is only being stored in the iTunes playlist, NOT the file itself. I can see all the track information for these problem files on my iPod, but NOT my mobile phone (where I have to manually copy them over), even if I drag and drop them directly from iTunes.
    I have this problem with Quicktime, my mobile phone music player and RealPlayer, so I'm assuming it's "system wide". It even occurs if I copy a problem file out of my music folder and onto the the Desktop, then manually add the track to iTunes: all the song information has disappeared.
    I have all my music stored on an external hard disk - 160GB Freecom ToughDrive formatted as HFS+. Previously it was stored on an external disk formatted as FAT32, but copying the files over to the new disk didn't change the problem.
    I considered using the "convert ID3 tags" option to see if it would make a difference, but both the good and bad files are listed as using v2.2. I also don't understand enough about them to feel confident converting them to something different - perhaps to v2.3 or v2.4 - just to see if it makes a difference.
    Any information on how to "recover" the missing information (for anything other than iTunes) would be greatly appreciated!
    MacBook Pro 17" 2.16 GHz 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   iTunes 7.1.1

    Okay, some more information as I try and track down the source of the problem.
    By using an id3 tag editing program - ID3 Editor - I was able to view the song information for each track, even though all the other music players I had tried would not show it. If I then chose to modify and update the ID3 information, this would somehow modify the tags in such a way that they become readable in all other programs.
    I tried using the "Convert ID3" tags option in iTunes, just on a whim, but without any success. Saving the song information in ID3 Editor doesn't change the version of the ID3 tag - it's still listed as v2.2 in iTunes - but it DOES make it readable in other programs. I also tried the various text conversion options, again without any success.
    This looks to me like a bug in iTunes. While its possible for me to get around it, in an extremely long winded way, I still can't understand why iTunes would be writing ID3 information that other Apple programs cannot read.
    Any suggestions? Should I be posting this question in a different forum perhaps?

  • Some fonts are not shown correctly in LabVIEW 2012

    I found a bug related with fonts in LabVIEW2012 f3 KR.
    - When I select NI7SEG in font selection dialog, right font is not shown in the example box.
    - Draw text at point.vi shows same problem for some fonts while other fonts are working.
    I reported it to Korean NI. As far as I know, this was not reported in previous versions and I couldn't find any related documents in Google. 
    So, here I would like to know whether it is related with only Korean version. Please let me know if English version is OK. 
    * OS: Windows 7 32bit KR

    Just now, I installed LabVIEW 2012 f3 (32-bit, English) and checked for the issue. But the font(NI7SEG) was not shown properly in VI either.
    - Both of Korea and English version of LabVIEW 2012 on Win 7 Korea OS shows wrong results. It is same on 64-bit OS.
    - LabVIEW 2010 but on same PC shows correct fonts.
    Is there a limit of number of fonts in LabVIEW? There are more than 100 fonts are shown in the "Selection Font" dialog and I can divide them into 3 groups by sequential order. I find that all fonts in the 3rd group are not applied correctly.

  • Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

    Hello.
    This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
    I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
    System Info:
    Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
    Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
    OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
    Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
    1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
    2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
    3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
    4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
    5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
    Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
    Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
    Thanks!

    Abhishek,
    Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
    I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
    I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
    And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
    First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
    Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
    And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
    I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
    Cheers!

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
