Copy and paste formats only

I have just downloaded IWork to evaluate and am stumped at the first hurdle. I just want to copy a cells format (not its contents)and paste it into another cell (format painter in Excel). Can anyone help?

What we have is descripted in the PDF User Guide in page 79 (in the English version)
+*Copying and Pasting Table Styles*+
+You can change a table’s appearance by copying and pasting table and table cell styles.+
+Here are ways to copy and paste table styles:+
+• To copy a cell’s style, select the cell and choose Format > Copy Style.+
+• To apply a copied cell style to other cells, select the cells and choose Format > Paste+
Style.
+• To paste a copied table using the spreadsheet’s default table style, choose Edit > Paste and Match Style.+
You may also install the buttons "Copy Style" and "Paste Style" in the toolbar.
As I doesn't allow µSoft products to enter my home, I don't know if this duplicate "format painter".

Change the copy and paste format

Does anyone know how to change OSX 10.5 copy and paste/clipboard format from PDF to PICT?

When a copy operation is performed, the target application typically offers multiple flavors of clipboard data. When you go to paste, which one of those flavors is actually used is up to the receiving application. If it prefers PDF it's going to use PDF and there's not really anything an end user can do about it. If you want a PICT file you'll really have to perform the conversion manually, and it's not too popular a format so there aren't many options for that out there.

Copy and Paste formatting

Hello, I am running into problems copying and pasting HTML information from my e-mails. I run a real estate website, and on a Windows, it was easy to just copy and paste a listing that was e-mailed to me, and the formatting and pictures would be preserved in the same formatting. I am wondering if there is a way to do this on a Mac, because as of now when I paste, it simply pastes the text unformatted, and without a picture. Is there a workaround? I am using Mail and Dreamweaver 8.
Thanks
Ryan

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately mail HTML formatting is different for every e-mail client. Your best bet is to get some web space and put up the HTML files you want on a website, and just point a link to your clients to visit that website.
Just be sure to follow http://www.w3.org/ standards, and use known coding techniques for making the HTML viewable in any web browser, such as those outlined by http://www.anybrowser.org/

Copy and paste motion only ?

hiya, hope you can help
I have animated a slideshow effect where one frame moves out teh way and another moves into frame
i am happy with it and now want to repeat it with all teh other images in the slideshow
the problem is, when i copy the keyframes (with a tween) on the first image that I did and try and paste them onto the 2nd image in my series, it actualy charges the image as well ! So that the second image becomes the firts image on the keyframes.
Is there a way just to copy the opacity and motion animation ONLY ? My guess is there must be because to animate each picture by hand with a custom ease in & out curve would take forvever
hope you can help
Regards
Rich

with cs4 you can save your tween as a preset and apply it to any object you like. here's a lee brimelow tutorial:

(and i'm not sure what you're describing about a button frame. can you post a link to a screenshot? (if you try to attach one, check to make sure it doesn't get queued.)

I can't copy and paste formatted text within the same or between Word and Excel documents

I run Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (English) (Student Select)
when I try to copy any formatted text or tables within the same or different Word documents I will always loose the formatting. This is also true if I try to copy formats or formatted tables within Excel or from Excel to Word, see example screenshot:
When I have a look at my paste options via 'Alt', 'e', 's' or 'Paste special' it only lets me choose between "Unformatted Text" or "Unformatted Unicode Text", see screenshot:
Here is what I tried already:
- In the advance options menu all options are on "keep formatting"
- I uninstalled and reinstalled the entire office suit but keep having the same problem!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Boston

I found the solution on another site, superuser.com, so I can't claim the solution as my own, but it worked for me. Kent Ng says:
I face the similar issue with Excel 2003. If you have installed Skype-Click-to-Call, just removed it to resolve this issue.

Using Clipmate to copy and paste between projects

Thanks to Robert Johnston for the inspiration (and perspiration) for this method for copying and pasting between PE projects. One residual side effect of the method is that the audio and video of the copied clips will be unlinked. The renaming folders business is a workaround to avoid the silent audio problem after a project has been saved and reloaded.
1. Rename the folders of all audio files (including AVI files) used in the project to be copied.
2. Start PE and load in the project to be copied.
3. When asked, tell PE where the missing files are. (Check the box marked "Display Only Exact Name Matches".) Press Select.
4. Highlight parts (or all) of the project to be copied, in the timeline.
5. Copy the highlighted parts.
6. Copy into Clipmate:
6.1 Edit > Capture Special
6.2 Check both items in the list
6.3 OK
7. Close PE without saving.
8. Rename the folders of the audio files back again.
9. Open destination project in PE.
10. Re-select the copied info in Clipmate (closing the project in PE caused the clipboard to be cleared):
10.1 Select anything in the Clipmate list except the wanted item.
10.2 Select the wanted item (selecting an item loads it onto the clipboard).
11. Position the CTI to the wanted insertion point.
12. Do Edit > Paste Insert.
13. The pasted items will be highlighted in Media Panel. While still highlighted, select the Media Panel and do: Edit > Locate Media.
14. Tell PE where the files are.
15. Save project.

When combining projects, it is best to do your pruning of unwanted clips and other resources BEFORE you combine them, because once the Media Panel gets heavily loaded, PE is liable to crash.
Deleting the unused resources in Media Panel is quite easy in PE3 and PE4. Simply click on the "used" column heading, and the resources will be sorted into two groups of used and unused. Just click on the resource at one end of the unused range and shift click on the resource at the other end to select the whole range, then press delete. (Note that shift works normally in this panel, unlike in the timeline!) However, it is not strictly necessary to delete unused resources before copying and pasting because only resources selected on the timeline will be copied. PE will load and save a lot quicker if unwanted resources are deleted.
My feeling is that PE4 is somewhat more unstable than PE3, but I haven't done a proper direct comparison. For some reason after a crash the autosave often doesn't seem to have done its job properly, even though I set it to save every 10 mins. So make use of the Save button Adobe gave back to us in PE4 and save often, particularly before you use the titler or fiddle with the Media Panel.

Copy and Paste Unformatted Text to documents

A very useful feature at times is the ability to copy and paste formatted text from pages (in this case webpage) to a document (text edit, word). Which means that what ever bold, font or style on a page is copied to the clipboard and then pasted identically to the document.
question:
Is there a way to copy or paste the plain text of the clipboard rather than the formatted version?
thanks..

Hi, SU.
Many applications support this, but how it is implemented varies by application.
In many apps, if you paste using the Command-Option-V keyboard shortcut (instead of Command-V for paste), it will paste the clipboard contents either:
• Without the styles used in the document from which the text was copied.
• In the same style as the document into which you are pasting the text.
Some apps, e.g. Microsoft Office, have an Edit > Paste Special menu choice that permits one to select that text should be pasted either without the styles or matching the style of your document.
In Mail, the keyboard shortcut is Command-Option-Shift-V.
Consult the Help for the particular application to determine how one can paste what is commonly called "styled text" without the styles. Styled text is text in the clipboard that retains the style of the document from which it was copied.
Good luck!

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail. Word worked in nothing. I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email. Is there a way to do this?

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

I cannot copy and paste details from my bank statement into a word document, without the formatting changing.I have a message in my Error console which reads: server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555

Since transferring data from my desktop to my laptop, i am now having problems copying and pasting details from my bank website in to a word document, the formatting is all over the place. This didnt happen before, when i pasted the details in to the word document the formatting was exactly the same as on the webpage. If I use internet explorer, I dont have this problem, so, I can only assume it has something to do with Firefox. I have checked the "Error console" and I am receiving this message: server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555.

I want to copy and paste a chart from an email into Pages on MAC. I only get the text. Not the chart.

I recieved an email that included a chart that I want to put in a document. When I copy and paste the chart in Pages it only shows the text without the chart. This shouldnt be too hard but I have no idea why it will not copy this in the format or image that it is. Thanks.

This is on OSX 10.9.3 MAC Pro
Pages version 5.2
I'm sorry I do not know how to determine the format of the chart. It was sent to me in the body of an email...it was not an attachment. Is there a way for me to find that out?
I actually tried both ways...I copied just the chart & then I copied the whole body of the email that included the chart. Either way, the chart-lines/box did not paste. Only the text.
Thanks Peter! I'm somewhat new with MAC

Can I copy and paste into word doc without losing formatting (ie., charts and columns, etc.)

We were recently given the opportunity to have our office files scanned to searchable PDF. Now that we have an opportunity to work with the PDFs, we are interested to know if we can take text and formatting of an existing document, copy and paste it into word for editing. So far I have only been able to copy and paste the text, which I then have to reformat, space and enter into a chart, etc. We are currently using Adobe Reader. Is this a possibility if we upgrade or install a different program, such as, Adobe Acrobat?
Thank you for any and all help!

"Formattng" per se does not exist in PDF.

Is it possible to keep the outline auto formatting from Pages when copying and pasting that outline to the Presenter Notes on Keynote?

I have been using my iPad for my notes, but I want to start using it as a remote for my macbook. When I copy and paste the notes into the Presenter Notes section of Keynote on the macbook, it unformatted. Any bullet point formatting that I do on my macbook is not showing on my iPad's Remote view Presenter Notes. Is there a way to create consistency here that does not involved formatting each one separately?

Use Drag and Drop
Have both applications open side by side
select the text in Pages
with the mouse drag the text from pages into presenter Notes pane in Keynote

How to NOT retain formatting when copying and pasting text

Captivate 7 keeps the formatting from my text sources when I paste into a Text Caption which is not what I need. Anything I could find in the forums where questions relating to "keeping" the source formatting. I don't want this, I want Captivate to keep its text formatting when I paste text into a text caption. I even did a test creating a new project and using one of the Cap 7 themes. If I paste text in the default capture caption style object, it retains the formatting of the copied text source. I have been working with Captivate 7 since a few months now and, until this morning, when I copied and pasted text from another source into my Captivate Text Caption, it retained the format of my Captivate Text Caption object. This is exactly what I need. How can I get this behavior back?
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi there
Well, first I would report it as undesired behavior and possibly ask for an enhancement that allows us to right-click and paste without formatting. Do this using the link below:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
For now, you have a couple of options.
1. Perform a side trip. Open a text editor such as Windows Notepad or Apple Textpad and paste, then copy back to the clipboard. Then paste the text into the caption. (When pasting into the text editor, formatting is stripped)
2. On Windows machines, you can usually find a clipboard utility that allows you to paste as pure text. In fact, one such application is called PureText.

Trying to copy and paste objects in keynote 6 I only get a hyperlink when pasting. Anyone else having the same problem? is there anywhere I can change it so that the copied object is pasted directly into the new slide?

Hi
I am trying to copy one object from one lside to another slide in the same presentation. The only thing I get when pasting is a hyperink. Does anyone know how I can turn this off so that the image or the object is pasted as copied to the new slide?
Thanks a lot

there are some unexpected issues when copy and pasting.
As a workaround, use duplicate slide to get the same object in another slide, (select the slide in navigator and command D or right click > duplicate)

I am trying to copy and paste a story from a blog. I can only view the first page on the Pages app. How do I see the rest of the pages?

I am trying to copy and paste a story from a blog. I can only view the first page on the Pages app. How do I see the rest of the pages?

Thank you. That helped in the first step. I was able to copy text onto multiple pages.
Now I can't get the pictures to copy. How do I get my pictures to copy?
Also once the blog page is on pages, how do i make changes to it?
This my story and the page I am trying to copy.
