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.

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.

I can't copy and paste from Word to the Internet (Firefox or Chrome), but I can copy and paste from Internet to Word

I suddenly can't copy and paste text from Word to the internet (Firefox or Chrome, email or other websites), but I can do the reverse. Any ideas? Copy and paste works between Word docs, and it works between internet sites (e.g., web page to email), just not from Word to the internet. Please help. I need to copy and paste my resume for an online job application.

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

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).

Copy and Paste from TextEdit to Word

I have been told that I can simplify images in Word easily by copying into TextEdit, and then back into Word. I can copy and paste into TextEdit easily, but am unable to select, copy, and paste a graphic from TextEdit into Word. Is there some key I"m not pressing? Or some other trick?

Hi
I have got a similar problem.
I use Firefox 3 (latest) and I can not copy text and images from a webpage to MS Office 08. I get only plain text. I tried all combination of Browser and office Suites. Always the same problem. I get plain text. Only one combination works fine. Safari and Apple iWorks. But I bought MS Office, because I need the compatibility to Windows. What a kind of problem is that with the clipboard?
Please Apple, me and many other people need a solution for that problem. Are the Devs of the other browser and office suits so stupid?

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 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 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 pdf to word

Hello,
When I cut and paste pictures from pdf files into my word documents using my mac, the pasted content appears colored black and I am not able to select what I truly mean to. I am able to do this easily with a pc - but prefer to do it with my laptop.
Thanks for your help,
ktkayteakt

Try using shift/apple/4 - gives you a cross-hair selector to grab part of the screen - saves as Picture1.png to your Desktop then drag that into Word.
Or, /Utilities/Grab

Copy and pasting from PDF to Word for Mac

I have a Mac Book Pro and I am having difficulty in copying from PDF to Word documents. Specifically, I cannot highlight the text that I want to move to the Word document. I have followed the help suggestions, and found that the PDF has not encription barriers. The cursor does not go from the arrow head to the other symbol that would allow me to highlight that which I want to copy. I have the text tool, and under edit, the copy word is ready. I am at a loss, as I can copy from e-mail and other things. Thanks.

I'm glad you've got the problem licked now, or at least understand the limitations on some of your downloaded PDF documents. I suspect those limitations will apply to all documents that are downloaded from the same database or source, and will consistently not apply to documents downloaded from specific other databases, because of differences in the way documents are scanned by different database services.
By way of clarification, let me just point out that what you are calling Acrobat, which used to be called *Acrobat Reader,* is now officially called *Adobe Reader.* Adobe changed the name to distinguish more clearly between Acrobat — an expensive commercial application for +creating, modifying and manipulating+ PDF files — and the freeware Adobe Reader, which only enables you to view them. You'll avoid needless confusion by calling the Reader by its proper name in the future. No big deal, though: lots of people make the same mistake here. (I've explained this distinction to my wife any number of times, and have finally learned not to bother doing it again: she simply doesn't care.)

How do I preserve a website's fonts when I copy and paste from Firefox into Word?

I often paste copy from websites when I am researching. In Safari, the fonts and font sizes of the copy are preserved, but when I do it in Firefox, they are changed to the same size of Verdana. I prefer the fonts to be retained from the websites, but I can't get Firefox to do this.

If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".<br />

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.
