Copy and paste doesn't work well in Microfsoft Office

When I want to copy and paste text in a document I select the text with my trackpad. Because I have to do it repetitive and quickly I use the apple c button while my finger is on the trackpad.
I discovered it is not possible to have your finger on the trackpad and press the apple c button at the same time in Microsoft Office. It will not copy anything. A successful copy/paste action is only possible when your fingers are not at the trackpad.
Does anyone knows a solution for this? Thanks!

You should post questions regarding Office on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as they're geared more toward the issue than a forum for Apple products:

  • Copy and Paste Doesn't Work in Windows

    Copy and paste does not work in iTunes 9.1.0.79 in Windows 7.
    When I select songs in a playlist to copy to a folder in Windows 7, I can select all and copy. But nothing appears when I try to paste those songs. Paste is grayed out.
    (Or is copy and paste supposed to work only within iTunes?)
    Any help in solving this problem would be appreciated.

    Correct.
    You are copying the text from the columns displayed in iTunes.
    You can paste that into a text document.
    To assist others which may have the same question and see this topic, what was your solution?
    Just drag the songs from iTunes to the folder you want.

  • Copy and paste doesn't work

    I have attempted to copy values using copy/paste. When I apply the paste nothing is put in the designated cell. I have attempted to copy titles as well and they were not pasted.
    I opened a new spreadsheet as a test and found that the copy/paste technique works on it. Why does this work on one spreadsheet and not the other? Have I turned something off or on which prevents this from working on the spreadsheet? Is there a preference that is involved?
    I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac.

    I had the same problem with a Numbers '09 SS that I got as an email attachment. I couldn't copy and paste cells, no matter what was in the cells. I couldn't move cells or groups of cells. The only thing I could do was highlight the contents of one cell and copy and paste that. But that gets old fast.
    So I tried exporting the SS as an Excel document (I don't have Excel, but it doesn't matter) and then opening it again in Numbers. It Worked!! Now I can move and copy and paste cells, columns, rows.

  • Cut, Copy, and Paste doesn't work for some Project files

    We have some Project files where the Cut, Copy, and Paste function is not working.  Suspecting corruption, I tried doing a "Save for Sharing", to no avail.
    Is there a switch setting that we are missing?
    We are using Project Server v2010 with SP2.  Our Project Pro clients are on SP2.

    Hi Chris,
    It could be due to a enterprise global corruption. Does it happen on a specific enterprise view? Does it work well in the default Gantt view?
    Try to open the enterprise global and make a copy of the table with the same fields and attributes, then replace the old table with the new one in all the relevant views.
    Hope this helps,

  • Copy and Paste doesn't work inside compound clips

    If I have two compound clips, when I try to copy some clips from inside one, then open the other compound clip and paste, nothing happens.
    However, if I try the same on a project timeline paste works.
    This is really annoying as I cannot move a clip from one scene to another when I have set up my scenes as compound clips.

    They were created in 10.0.8.
    Are you definitely going into two separate compound clips?
    For example, If I explode one of the compound clips on a timeline then paste works again. That still means I need separate projects for each scene which is a pain.
    What I would like in FCP X, is to be able to have more than one timeline open simulataneously, so I can drag relevant clips between them. I am finding with a documentary that I am editing, where the story is not obvious and scripted in advance, that developing story idea sections as compound clips is really incovenient. I often realise that clips there were in one section work better in another. This was much easier in FCP 7 where you can open two timelines and drag between them.
    I hope apple add the ability to open multiple timelines.

  • I just downlouded the latest version of the Muse CC and it doesn't work well, it freezes all the time, in particular with the tools. Example the selection tool doesen't wor at all.

    I just downlouded the latest version of the Muse CC and it doesn't work well, it freezes all the time, in particular with the tools. Example the selection tool doesn't wor at all. Is there any solution for this problem?

    Hi!
    I restarted the computer, but the same issue happens again. When I move my mouse over some object or tool, it doesn’t come active at all (only some of the tools works) When I try to change “site properties”, I can’t choose tablet or phone mode or even I can’t select the checkboxes, only thing what I can do is change the numbers (high and width) . After all the main problem is that I can’t select some of the items or functions by mouse, but only by the keyboard.

  • How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

    How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

    I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.

  • Copy and paste buffers not working correctly in iOS 8.1m

    Both iPads2's in my family arsenal are exhibiting what I believe to be a bug in the iOS8.1 (perhaps corrected by 8.1.1?), in the cut/copy & paste buffer stack.
    When invoking the operation to copy and paste data from one application to another, the paste action consistently selects the previous (e.g., stack level 2 rather than 1 or Top) data as what is to be pasted.
    In other words, if you have used the copy and paste routine twice, the second pasting will supply one with the paste data from the first operation, rather than the desired data from the second copy and paste operation.
    Copy and paste appears to work correctly from within a single application, but consistently fails when copying data from one application to another.
    Does anyone know of a work-around for this bug? Is it a bug that others have identified? Is there a new selection filter menu option for copy and paste operations, and what method is used to invoke the menu?
    I hope this is addressed soon, as I use Cut/Copy & Paste operations extensively (I've already had Carpal Tunnel Release surgery once and don't relish a repeat performance, no matter how successful the first was in correcting the damage).
    Any clues as to what's going on here?
    thanks in advance,

    All you can do is simply see if iOS 8.1.1 helps you with this. With some people it has, and others it has not. I would also recommend doing a clean install of your system, too.
    Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
    First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
    Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
    On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
    This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

  • Copy and paste function stopped working?

    The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
    How do I recover this function?
    Thanks.

    Hi Magno2002
    Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
    In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
    You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.

  • IWork(Keynote, pages and numbers) doesn't work well about the issue of copy & paste problem

    I think so, too. the Keynote 6.5 is not working well on Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10.1).
    In my case, I can't copy & paste from some program(particularly analysis program in my case) to Keynote.
    So, when I check coping & pasting the graph or image and so on to Powerpoint and other programs (one of Office is such word and 3rd programs), It works well. However It doesn't work at Keynote, page and numbers.
    Also, I tried to do the following process to solve this issue
    ======
    Something is wrong with your installation of Keynote
    Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using AppDelete.
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and      click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    ====
    It doesn't work! Anything doesn't change.
    In conclusion, I didn't solve this yet!
    Plz, solve this problem or fix it!.

    This is a double posting, please only post in one discussion at a time.
    Keynote 6.5 is stable and reliable under Yosemite for most users.
    As with all new operating systems and applications, a small number of users find a few problems.
    Copy and pasting text from and into Keynote from all the applications I have, work perfectly: the applications include; Safari, Mail, Word, PowerPoint, excel, Pages, Numbers, iMovie, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator.
    If you want to place graphics into Keynote, use one of the following methods:
    Insert > Coose
    click the media button on an image placehoder
    click the media button on the tool bar
    drag and drop from a Finder window
    Copy and pasting images into Keynote is not supported

  • Copy and paste does not work

    Hi All,
    I have windows vista, adobe master suite collection cS3. I am having trouble using copy and paste and screen grabs in Adobe Photoshop.
    Does anyone know what may be cauing this?
    Thanks,
    Helen

    I copied website captures fine onto Paint and copied text and screen captures on Microsoft word fine. I am mainly trying to copy and paste website screen grabs. For example I tried copying a website screen grab straight onto Photoshop.
    I am using the manual form of copy and pasting through the mouse right click. Strangely when closing and reopening Photoshop the copy and paste tool works temporarily however after a couple of copy and pasting’s the copy and paste function doesn’t work again!
    Thanks John, do you know of any screen capture programs that work on windows vista home and adobe cs3.
    Thanks,
    Helen

  • My copy and paste no longer works. Any ideas?

    Hi, my copy and paste function no longer works. Even using menu rather than short cut does not work. Any ideas?

    Hello Heather:
    Your second post is "interesting." You probably are a committee of one that moves to a Windows platform from an Apple one.
    In any event, if you want help resolving your Safari problem, post back. If not, best of luck to you.

  • Copy and paste has stopped working. Bad memory.

    Strange new event. In some programs, so far two, if I copy some text there is now a clicking sound (new) and when I paste that text in to another place in the program then it either pastes what was in the clipboard before, in a prior paste, or it pastes a hybrid combo of what was there before and the just-copied text.
    If I go to text edit, or to safari or mail program, then copy and paste work just fine. If I look at what is in the clipboard (via Finder) then the expected content is there.
    Has anyone run into this odd thing?
    Thanks,
