Copy and paste from InDesign CS2 to Illustrator CS3

Hi,
I'm a Mac Illustrator CS3 user and having trouble copying text from InDesign CS2 to Illustrator CS3.
After copy text from InDesign (allowed), I'll go to Illustrator to paste it, but none of the text appear. I'm not sure if there any other step should I take before paste?
Any help are much appreciated.

I can't find Clipboard Preferences in either InDesign or Illustrator. Help me.
I'm using Mac Illustrator CS3.
TQ

  • Can't copy and paste from InDesign to Illustrator

    Recently changed computers and now I dont seem to be able to copy an object from InDesign and paste into Illustrator. This used to work fine. Any ideas? Thanks

    In my experience, copying and pasting from ID to Illustrator can be quite temperamental -- it often takes a couple of attempts to get it to work, for no apparent reason.
    But I don't recall ever being unable to do so, after a few tries.

  • CS3 - Copy and Paste from InDesign to Illustrator NOT working

    I am trying to copy and paste some graphical elements from InDesign to Illustrator. The Paste command is active in Illustrator, but when I evoke the command, nothing is pasted. What is wrong?

    Apparently it is an issue with Leopard (and Illustrator)
    Workarounds:
    1) Export from InDesign as eps or PDF, or
    2) Copy paste into Photoshop as a Smartobject, and then double click the layer to edit smart object (it will open in Illustrator)
    I know, it's a pain.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

    Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
    At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
    Thank you!

    Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

  • When I copy and paste from illustrator to PS regardless of option choosen the original shape size is lost, instead of true size shape tries to fill entire width. Fix?

    When I copy and paste from illustrator to PS regardless of option chosen the original shape size is lost, instead of true size shape tries to fill entire width. Same happens when using the new library assets.
    Fix?
    Thanks

    Can't always make sense of its effect, but I suspect what your seeing comes under the influence of Photoshop > Preferences > General > Options > Resize Image During Place

  • Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

    I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

  • 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.

  • (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.

  • How can i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to another?

    Trying to shuffle around the rows as part of an everchanging schedule.  When i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to the other, the images overlay each other as if i were litterally cutting them out of paper and then sloppily pasting to another. Is there a way to set them up so crosscutting is more seamless in appearance?

    JRC,
    The reason you get that result is that you are pasting the rows to the canvas of your second document instead of into an existing table.
    Instead, make a large blank table in your receiving document and paste into that table only after clicking on the cell where you want the first cell of the copied data to be positioned.

  • How to disable copy and paste from Mail to other applications

    Are there MDM or policy that can limit copy and paste?  Using MDM or ACU to lockdown the phone would be completely useless in regards to preventing data leakage unless copy/paste can be controlled.  MDM provider is advising that there is no API from Apple to allow locking this function.

    No. Not that I'm aware of. If you're that worried about people being able to copy and paste from email messages and having confidential data get 'into the wild' that way, then maybe you shouldn't be issuing or permitting the use of smart phones.

    I just bought this in order to copy and paste from a PDF and after I convert I still can't..

    Hi helpme59,
    It depends upon the restrictions set on the pdf.
    If the creator of the pdf has set restrictions against copying then you will not be able to copy the content.
    Are you facing the same issue with all the pdf's?
    Would it be possible to share the pdf with me.
