Copy and paste a Table from a web Page

I want to copy this Table at the link below into a Pages Document so I have these shortcuts/key combos nearby in case of disaster (For example, I did not know that you boot off a CD by holding the C key upon restart.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459
How do I do this and retain the Table Format?
(New to the Mac and Pages)
Thanks

That web page has several tables so you'll need to do this for each one. First, don't use Safari, use Firefox or Camino. Safari doesn't "see" the tabs in the tables. Select the text of the first table & copy. Now, go to your Pages document & create a 2-column table with a header row. Click in the first cell & paste. In previous versions of Pages you had to create the table with the exact number of columns or the pasted table filled rows across before pasting in the next row. I tried this without a header row & everything pasted in the first cell. Adding the header row, everything pasted nicely.

  • When I copy and paste the data from a web site in to excel, it comes in one big splurge - ie it is not 'delimited' - and I can't see how to delimit the data into cells. In Explorer, the data is delimited. Any clues ? John

    see above

    A couple of options:
    # When pasting the data into Excel use Paste Special, and choose either Text or Unicode Text.
    # Use the Dafizilla Table2Clipboard extension to copy the data - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/dafizilla-table2clipboard

  • Cannot copy and paste a table

    The Thunderbird text editor does not consistently allow copying and paste a table from Word. More generally, its text editor is full of bugs and anomalies, such as arbitrarily setting text to a different font.

    As recently as December 30, 2013, I was able to copy LibreOffice calc data and paste it w/o problems into Tbird messages. Formatting, merged cells, all came across perfectly. I've been doing this for a long time (over a year at the least) without problems.
    Now when I copy and try pasting nothing at all happens ... as in literally nothing changes in the email.
    It's really frustrating when something this basic gets broken. If you know what version I'd have to revert to until it's fixed (and where to get the download), that would be great.
    Don't know if it helps having the following, but just in case:
    * Win 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
    * Tbird 24.3.0
    * LibreOffice 4.2.0.4

    When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed.  But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying?

    Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

    == i want to copy and past 58 links from my IE favorites into the bookmarks toolbar...not one at a time. where's the folder i can copy these too?

    Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
    You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

    Copy and paste? What app are you using?
    When you tap on an image and select copy that usually copies the URL of the image.
    Save image copies the image to your Camera Roll.
    Most apps have an Insert choice that inserts an image from your Camera Roll into the document you are working on.
    But if you tell us which app you are using, we should be able to provide more exact info on how to get done what you want.

  • How do you copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around
    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

  • Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

    Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

    The same cuts that I have in this clip that i performed with the blade tool, I want to duplicate, copye, paste and apply to another clip. I want the cuts to mimic and be an exact same. I wish i could highlight the clip, click copy and then highlight the other clip and then click paste and the cuts apply.

  • HT2506 hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

    hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
    tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
    The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
    So, changing one line ought to do it:
    close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
    But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
    Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
      set doc_count to count documents
      repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
      if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
      end repeat
    end tell
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

    Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

  • Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

    Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

    It's not something I have tried before.  Have you tried it, and what's happened?
    Basically, copy/pasting tables is a bit of a problem - anywhere.  Table formats are different in different circumstances - Excel, HTML, PDF, ...
    If you copy a HTML table and paste it into an Excel sheet, the entire table will go into one single cell.
    So most likely what you are trying to achieve will not work.

  • I am unable to copy and paste my password onto the Hotmail page

    I live in China and their censors watch everything I do on the net. Before I had no problem when I typed in my password, which would give them access to my Hotmail. But I opened a document on my laptop and put in all new passwords for everything. It worked for a while, but Hotmail seems to have changed their page. Now when I try to copy and paste my password on the Hotmail page, nothing happens. The dropdown box has the paste on it, but it is not highlighted, so I can't just paste it in the password box. I've had to use IE which works, but every time I perform an action on a page, the page jumps as if they are taking a snapshot of what I'm doing and I really don't like it. Any suggestions?

    Did you try to use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+V or Ctrl + Insert) ?
