Copy and paste from CS5.5 to CS6 help

I work at a newspaper and we recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6.
When I open my CS5.5 documents to copy and paste type it shows up like a graphic in CS6.
If I make a text box and paste the type into it, it is unformatted.
If I copy and paste an image from CS5.5 and paste it into my CS6 InDesign document it appears, but not as a linked file.
Why would this be different now with CS6? It is really a hinderance considering we use parts of ads over and over again in the newspaper industry.
Thank you for the help.

Hi there.
I haven't upgraded to CS6 yet, but I'm having this very problem with InDesign CS5.5. If I copy and paste the box in InDesign - vector or text - it pastes as an image. If I copy/cut selected text with text tool - even if it's copying and pasting in the SAME text box - it pastes unformatted. This happens across all documents, but most irritatingly when working in the same InDesign document.
Checked all preferences in InDesign and even cross referenced it with another Mac with the same version, but every setting was the same. Adobe won't help unless it's CS6 annoyingly, well they will if I pay!
Other than removing and reinstalling the whole package, I can't think of what else to do!

Cannot copy and paste from an external document into InDesign cs6

I am unable to copy and paste from "anywhere" into my InDesign cs6? Not from emails, word, or any other programs? HELP. thanks.

Copying and pasting is not usually a good idea. Try using the "place" command to place your external files or documents into InDesign. Nevertheless, you should be able to copy text from Word or other programs with no problem. How are you doing it exactly? Try to do it not only with keyboard shortcuts, but using the actual "copy" and "paste" menus on both programs.

Copy and paste From cs6 to cc 2014 Problem

Hi when i try to copy text or anything really from Indesign cs6 and try and paste it in CC 2014 why does it convert it to a image? I cannot edit it when i copy and paste. All the content stays the same but is i am guessing converted to outlines. How can i stop this? It did just fine copying and pasting from cs6 to CC from last year but not with the new update. Please help
Thanks
Chris

The reason we did it was because our CS6 has q2id installed on it and CC does not. One person that works here didnt want to just save the file in CS6 and just open it in CC later. I just wanted to know if there was a setting i could undo to stop it from importing like that.

When I copy and paste from Word to my e-mail using Firefox it changes the font and spacing to single and 10pt. It just started doing this a month ago. It does not do it when I am on my laptop or using Explorer. Help, I hate explorer.

If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.
Shortcuts and workarounds tend to create awkward and difficult problems, that often only surface late in the process.

Copy and Paste from PDF Looses Formatting in SL

Hi Everyone,
I've discovered a strange problem in snow leopard. Prior to upgrading to snow leopard, I was able to copy and paste from a PDF in Preview into Word, save as a text file, and preserve the formatting of the original PDF. This was important because I had written a perl program that extracted relevant information from the text file (the one based on the PDF) to generate reports. The PDF was not scanned but generated from some sort of batch program, and the output has columns and rows. I tried to copy and paste today, after upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, and no matter what I tried (including paste special) the formatting when copying from the PDF to Word was lost. I tried Adobe reader as well as Skim and tried copying into TextEdit but nothing worked. I even tried exporting from Adobe reader as a text file but have the same problem.
Being a good upgrader, I kept a backup of my Leopard install. After booting from it, copy and paste work as before and I was able to generate a properly formatted text file. From my experience with this, it appears as though the way snow leopard renders a PDF, or works with copying and pasting, is different than previous operating systems. Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to make snow leopard's copying and pasting work as it did in Leopard before?
If it helps, the machine I was using was my wife's white MacBook, 2 GHz with 2 MB of RAM.
Thanks in advance.
Joe

I likewise rely on ChemDraw and Pages/Keynote for my research and teaching. This is unfortunately an enormous problem, as I use these programs on a daily basis. I will be re-installing Leopard until the problem is resolved. Chambridgesoft's reply to the issue is that "The current version of ChemDraw/ChemBioDraw (12.0.0) was developed and released prior to the release of Snow Leopard. Therefore, ChemDraw 12.0.0 has not been officially tested and qualified under this operating system. We hope to support Snow Leopard in future in a future point release." I guess they couldn't get a hold of a development build? As I'm using ChemDraw Ultra 11.0 I will obviously not be supported in any case.
Judging from other replies, the problem seems to stem from SN copying as a .tiff rather than a .pict? Perhaps someone has a fix to make SN copy as .pict?

Copy and Paste from Oracle Forms to Excel

Hi to All,
I ran into this unusal problem with one user. She is trying to copy data in a cell from oracle form to excel. She does control+c and tries to control+v in excel. The data does not get pasted.
I tried logging into oracle on her pc and do the same method. I get the same results.
We tried copy from the menu bar in oracle and go into excel , menu and do paste. And it does not paste.
I did a test from copy from word document to excel...that worked.
We tried a different pc and everything worked.
Is there a setting in oracle when i do a copy that is not copyin the cell correctly. Any tips how to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance for help in this matter.

If it only happens on one PC, then usually there is a problem with the PC showing the "yellow bars" when logging into Oracle Forms. Otherwise, there is a more global problem with unsigned JAR files on the server.

Motorola Droid doesn't copy and paste from email?!

Is it really true the Motorola Droid will not copy and paste from an email? My business sends me emails with information that I need to enter in the NOTE section of my phone CONTACTS and obviously a copy and paste option is the way to do that. I use three different email accounts on my Droid two of which are Outlook Webmail. Tell me there is a way or why would I have a smart phone if it can't perform the most basic computer functions? I've been online with other forums and the consensus is that the Motorola Droid doesn't. My friend has an HTC smart phone that copies and pastes from emails. Thanks for any help and I have tried holding down the SHIFT key and that does not allow me to copy precisely what I need.

The only way to do this is to download K9 mail from the market (free). To copy paste in email you need you forward the mail, don’t send and then you can copy text. I know, it’s a kludge but that is where you are, and one of many reasons Android is not fit or the enterprise. It’s a work in progress. Sorry

Can't copy and paste from table to table

Just upgraded all my clients to CS 6.5 and now no one can copy and paste from table to table. It locks up every time. I have already dumped the program preferences and still can't do it. This is a HUGE problem with my users. Any help would be appreciated. I have a wild mix of users - Mac, Windows XP and Windows 7. Please help if you can!

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for contacting Adobe Support.
The only possible workaround is that you can select (n-1) cell from a particular row where n are the total number of cells in a particular row.
Ex- If i have a row with 3 cells so i can only select 2 cells at a time and paste it to the location where i wanted to paste and then manually select the last cell and copy paste the content where required.
Please let us know in case of any concern.
Thanks and Regards

Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

I tried to figure this out myself and couldn't believe there wasn't a simple menu item to get this done. Seems there was in pre-Mavericks but not in Mavericks. Found several answers but they all reply to before Mavercks.
This is helpful and yet I'm left with "Wow! Apple really can make simple things difficult. Who would have guessed."

(v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

How do I copy and paste from Word into Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

using Windows 7 Professional SP1, Microsoft Office 365 (Office 2013).
I can copy the text within a word document, without a problem.
However, the paste options are greyed out and "Ctrl"+"V" does not work.
Am I missing something, as I can't work out how to copy the text from word, to use as a basis for my photo shop document.

Hey, guys. I am a complete noob to Elements 13. I need to get something done relatively quickly and I need to learn how to copy and paste from a Word document. How do I do this?
Copy the text in WORD to place it on the clipboard
Open PSE in Expert tab
Open your picture file
Get the type tool out of the tool box, click an insertion point
Go to Edit>paste
You should see two layers in the layers palette: background layer, and layer with the text.

How do I copy and paste from websites on thge latest Firefor?

I used to be able to copy and paste from the internet with the last Firefox application. All I want to know js where do O go on the latest application in order to copy and paste information on websites.

After highlighting something on a web page by left-click and dragging the mouse, you can go to Firefox button (or File) > Edit. Hover your mouse pointer over the 3 images to the right of Edit for a tooltip (scissors = cut, two pages = copy, clipboard = paste) or click the arrow to the far right of Edit for a drop-down, non-icon list of the functions available.
In Windows you can also right-click (without moving the mouse pointer around) the highlighted text, then choose Copy. On the document, email, etc., that you are copying to, you can use right-click, then choose Paste.
