Copy and paste from excel to adobe form

Hi everyone,
a customer in a project based on WDJ + Adobe Interactive Form asks us the ability to copy areas of data (numeric and alphanumeric) from an Excel Spreadsheet (set of contiguous rows and columns), and paste them into a text field free PDF, preserving the formatting (ie the structure of rows and columns, font and size).
Personally I think it is something not feasible unless a development at hoc.cosa do you think?
Any advice is very welcome.
Regards,
Mirco

Reading the documentation XFA at http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xml/xfa_spec_3_1.pdf (richtext reference) we understand that you can make the cut & paste from Word or, better still from a RTF. But in this case from the Excel table information is lost as it is aligned in a single line.
The only way I think is to define a common layout to Excel and Adobe and use tables dynamically in the form
I do not think this is a limitation of the SAP solution!
regards,
Mirco

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.

Copy and paste from Excel into Thread

Is there a copy and paste information from Excel with the column headings into a thread and have all the information line up under the column headings?

Sean,
The short answer is No there isn't... but...
If you wrap the pasted info between code tags you can get close... For example...
ID     Name     Occupation
1     Mr. Big Nose     Metal Shop Teacher
2     Gary Larson     Cartoonist
3     Bill Waterson     Cartoonist
4     Calvin     Cartoon Character
5     Hobbs     Cartoon Character
But odds are you'll still need to clean it up in note pad first...

Copy and Paste from Excel to Applet

Hi,
I'm having a problem with trying to copy and paste data from Excel to an Applet (JTable). The copy and paste works fine when I run the standalone applet, but when it's embedded into a HTML page and placed in an app server, it would not recognize what's on the clipboard, so nothing gets pasted. Any ideas?
cheers,
Andrew

My guess is that you get an security exception. An applet has to by signed to enable cut & paste with excel.

Copy and Paste from Excel

I am trying to copy and paste a two column table in Excel
into a two column table in Dreamweaver. The data seems to paste
into the table with different kinds of problems depending on how I
try to paste... text without formatting, etc. Never pastes
correctly just one piece of data per cell. Any tips?

Notice that Alan was using the news server. Back in March of 2008, the Web forum was "powered by FuseTalk" which was a Web interface to an NNTP news server. Edits to messages on the Web forum did not get sent to the news server. Newsgroup_User is how all of us NNTP users were stored in the FuseTalk system (although it did display our names online).
Just as with today's "powered by Jive" forum, edits are not sent to everybody in the email notifications.
So ends the mini-history spot invoked by attempting to flame a 15-month old thread (for email users, a winky emoticon was placed here).

How to copy and paste from excel in Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2 using the Mozilla 17 as my browser?

Hi,
I'm using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2.300 and Mozilla 17 as my web browser, and I'm trying to paste a number from excel directly into a cell in a data form in Hyperion.
ie. after I copy the figure from a cell in excel, I go to a cell in Hyperion Planning and either press Ctrl+V or use the right-click mouse button on the cell where the Copy/Paste/Cut... menu appears.
Either way the number is not pasted (nothing happens)
On the other hand, if I double left-click in the cell (which is used for entering values manually in Hyperion Planning) the number if pasted correctly, however this is not a good workaround.
Please assist.
Thank you

Hi, Theresia
Yes you're absolutely right, I created VR from the manage form's menu. So I use standard HP 11.1.2 functionality. I've seen it in new features while read Oracle documentation. Also with testing of approvals in Proccess managment I use distinct colours for negatives and diff values (greater 1000 and 100 in my example). Colours work fine, but i can't say it about aprovals :). And all these examples of using planning form VR's i've taken from oracle administrators&user guiide and from presentations of EPM 11.1.2
In addition I've started work with Hyperion products 2-3 month ago. Hence I have to read a lot of information because my previous experience was OLTP, RDBMS not OLAP.
As a first step i wanna know all standard possibilities of product i use. And also best practice and some often used technics. Many thanks for your idea with Smart list and BR i'll try it (though i use EMPA and Calc Manager rules). I know that soon I have to use Java API's, so I might read and learn Java to write the simplest code first. But for me it's too much info i have to load into my brain in such short period :)
As a resume, my opinion it's a bug of new features EPM 11.1.2. But maybe I'm wrong cause none has said the same
Anyway thanks, Theresia, for your help. If you know or will some new additional info i'll say you thanks again
Best regards,
Vladimir

Copy and paste from Excel to Word, tabs get messed up intermittently

I use a couple templates I've developed for quoting and have trouble using them since I've switched to Windows 8.1, and Office 2013. I copy from Excel and paste into windows. When I first installed the new software it worked fine. Then
it started doing crazy things with the tabs. A column in Excel would be way wider in Word to the point my table would be off the screen. Then it got better. Then it got bad again. The problem seems to be intermittent. I just re-installed
Office. No change.
I saw one person's note about having the file you are copying to open or closed when copying from Excel. Tried that but no change. Any ideas? So two problems:
1. pasting doesn't work
2. the software seems unstable
Just discovered a work around. I think, since the problem does seem to come and go. The template was initially developed in Office 2010. It works fine in 2013, except for pasting apparently. When I recreated the template in 2013, it
seems to paste correctly - so far.

This is probably just like what you've discovered, these are old templates created in Office 2010, which might have compatibility issue.
Re-created them within Office 2013 should fix this.

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.

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.

I cannot copy and paste from email to word processor in microsoft 7, not Office

why can I not copy and paste from Yahoo email into Microsoft 7 word processor. I don't have Office. I used to do this all the time using Control C to copy and Control V to paste but recently AT&T installed Firefox and I think that's when the trouble started

There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
* Ctrl+v
* right-click > Paste
* Edit > Paste (from the menu)
Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

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?

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.

You might find more accurate help here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign (InDesign Forum)
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.

Cannot Cut and Paste From Excel

I am trying to simply cut and paste from Excel into the Xcelsius spreadsheet. Even though the user manual indicates to copy from Excel and right click where you want to paste, the Paste and Paste Special functions are greyed out. It is almost like the cells are locked or protected somehow. I selected Formal Cells -> Protection and unlocked the cells but still nothing. Any ideas? Excel 2007

Hi,
It seems your workbook was locked. Try the following... it might help you.
I know some of you out there have hit this problem in the past and now we have a workaround...
If you try to add/remove/modify a worksheet in the Xcelsius embedded Excel and you can't do it.
1. Start to unprotect the workbook:
Office 2007 (Ribbon menu in Xcelsius or Excel). Select Review > Protect Workbook > Protect Structure and Windows.
Office 2003 (menu only in Excel). Select Tools > Protection > Unprotect Workbook.
2. You will be prompted for a password.
3. This is the password (the O is an uppercase o):
fazOh1+u
4. Click OK and the spreadsheet should no longer be locked.
Let me know if still your problem exists.
Regards,
Anjani Kumar C.A.
