COPY AND PASTE INTO WIN7 DIALOG BOX

Hi,
I am new to Win7 and Lenovo Technologies. I am not sure if this post belongs here or if my problem has to do with Lenovo password management, which I have not yet set up on my new ThinkPad W700.
I am unable to copy information from a text file and paste it into a Win 7 dialog box. I am in a process of loading software from my old machine into the new one. I have all relevant information on keys, etc., in text files within my installed software archive. Manual retyping is a pain! The copy and paste function works just fine outside of the dialogue boxes.
Can someone advise me what I need to do in order to allow the pasting of information into the dialogue boxes possible?
Solved!

SUPPLEMENT TO MY PREVIOUS POST
The copy and paste into dialog boxes works just fine. I suspect that my earlier problem was due to not being familiar with the new computer's keyboard. I am used to the CTRL key being located at the bottom left of the keyboard. The new keyboard has the Fn key in that position. I must have pressed Fn instead of CTRL. The old habits die hard. I feel like for not noticing this earlier.

Copy and paste into dialog boxes
Greetings:
This is a cross post, so sorry about that, but I had originally replied to a previous post,
before I realized it was probably the wrong forum
for my question.
Copying from a document to a dialog box field doesn't work anymore; How do I fix it?
We have the problem since upgrading to Tiger.
Our Mac users, during their workflow, paste a filename
from a document into the 'save as' field (when printing to a .ps file).
This no longer works. UNLESS they control click in the 'save as' field.
Then they can select 'paste' with the mouse. Why is this happening? and how can we fix it? (so they can just 'command C' then 'command V' as they used to).
We have repaired permissions, cleared user caches,
tossed finder prefs, logged in as another user,
all to no avail.
Thanks in advance!

Matt,
Thanks for your response.
I agree that something else is capturing the shortcut, as
all shortcuts are unavailable in the pulldown menus at that point where we used to be able to 'Command V' paste into the text field. We're not using Quick Keys, and the
Full keyboard access setings are default for OS 10.4.
I did experiement with turning of some of the modifier F key selections in the Keyboard system prefs but none made
any change for this issue. For now our work around will be to control click in the text field and select 'paste'.
Seems odd that the contextual menu is available for that field but a 'command V' or command control V doesn't work.
Not a huge deal, more of an irritant, but I'll keep on the hunt! Thanks again!

Can the forms created in Forms Central be copied and pasted into Muse?

Can the forms created in Forms Central be copied and pasted into Muse?

Hi,
The form that you create via FormsCentral can be embedded in your Muse site (in Muse you can select Object/Insert HTML and then paste the embed code that you get via FormsCentral by clicking "Distribute" Tab / Embed button.)
See http://forums.adobe.com/message/5252743#5252743 on how to get the embed code via FormsCentral.
See https://my.adobeconnect.com/p73yae8df5r/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=normal on how to paste it on Muse.

Can items from a list be copied and pasted into a new Pages Table?

In iWork Pages, I have a list of 50's & 60's recording artists and their songs, (which is about 40 pages long) from my '45 rpm record collection for my Jukebox.
Is there any way to copy and paste the artists' names, and their songs into a Pages Table, so that I can sort the artists' names into an alphabetical list?
If there is a way, it would save me a ton of work of typing each name into a Table one at a time.
Thank you,
Jim

Recently, I have had documents of lists that I had wanted to put into a Table afterwards, but there was no way that I could do it.... which brought me to my question to the Forum.....
I had made the artists' listing & songs of about 40 pages, about 7 years ago when I had a PC, and it was done in MS Word, and I haven't worked on it since then.
Being a veritable Newbie at the time, I had put the artists' name in one column, and the song title in another. When I had to insert a new artist and song, I would "Add Row Below" and then type the info in.
Little did I realize at the time that I had created a Table, without knowing it (I told you that I was a Newbie).
So when I started to work on those files this morning for the first time in a number of years, I wondered how could I put all the info from that Word document into a Table in Pages.
Then I could sort Ascending, instead of "Add Row Below" to squeeze the new name in when I wanted to add another artist.
Then I realized after posting the question on this Forum, that it ALREADY WAS in Table form.
I looked into the help section of Pages and found that I could sort the names in the Inspector Box in the Table Tab.
So, sorry to say I didn't discover a new technique of copying a list and then pasting the info into a new Table in one shot......
Sincerely sorry for the false alarm...

[JS] [CS5] Copy and paste into existing array

Hi Guys,
right now I'm trying to improve the performance of a Script I wrote by copying and pasting a PDF instead of loading it 10 times.
And here's the problem:
When pasting the copied PDF it doesn't paste it into the array the original PDF is in but this is exactly what I need for the further script.
Can I somehow paste the PDF into the Array and a specific position [i]?
I'm adding the important parts of the script.
Greetings Michael
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0);
var myPageHeight = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
var myPageWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
myVertical=new Array();
var myVerticalCount=0;
var myStrokeHeight = myVertical[0].geometricBounds[2]-myVertical[0].geometricBounds[0];
var myStrokeWidth = myVertical[0].geometricBounds[3]-myVertical[0].geometricBounds[1];
for(i = 0; (myPageWidth-(i*myStrokeWidth))/(i+1) > (myStrokeWidth/3);i++){
                        myHorizontalCount++;
myVertical[0] = myPage.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[myPageHeight/2,0,myPageHeight +3,3]});
myVertical[0].place (File(myFile_Vert));
myVertical[0].strokeWeight = 0;
myVertical[0].fit (FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
app.select (null);
                    //It should be pasted into the Array myVertical[i]
                    app.select (myVertical[0]);
                    app.copy ();
                    for(i=1;i<myVerticalCount;i++)
                            app.paste();               //into myVertical[i] somehow

Doesn't anyone know how to do this?
If not, is it possible to:
               1. select multiple grapics in a defined area at once?
               or
               2. paste a graphic and add this graphic to a selection without deselecting the items I've selected before?
thanks in advance
Michael

I want to translate some items but i cannot copy and paste into safari

i want to translate some items, but i cannot copy and paste from my clipboard into translator page using safari .
no, control-c just clunks a no-can-do warning

Thank you Carolyn, but I need to compare and contrast with Google, Microsoft and Babylon to sort out what is being said ... along with my own limited understanding of the language and topic ...
I have found that if I copy text it is in my clipboard with firefox, but I must paste from the firefox edit menu - not command v -
Unfortunately, I can find no workaround for Safari.
Thanks again Carolyn.

Copy-and-paste into Snow Leopard's Mail from Parallels 5.0 doesn't work

After upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard, my Parallels 3.0 application no longer worked. Since I had an invitation to beta test Parallels 5.0, I took advantage of that opportunity.
Since then, there has been a problem "copy-and-pasting" from an Internet Explorer window into an Apple Mail document. Parallels has a new feature that copies text with formatting. What ends up getting pasted into Mail is the text plus about 6 inches of blank space below it. It seems like the text is married to a large graphic element.
Further hints: There's a black "X" in the circle at the upper left of it, and the text+blank_space block has its own vertical and horizontal scroll bars within the Mail document window.
If anyone can suggest a solution, I would be very grateful. If I can send a screen shot of what I'm describing.

OK, then since this isn't related to the OP's issue, I'd suggest you start a new topic in the Quicktime for Mac forum (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
Regards.

Copy and Paste into Java Applet

I know there have been some posts like this in the paste, but could not find a reasonable explanation.
JVM 1.4.2_08
For an unsigned java applet (Swing) I could not copy from a notepad document into my applets JTextField and JTextArea fields.
JVM 1.5
For this same applet (Swing) running under 1.5, I could copy and paste from the notepad document into my applets JTextField and JTextArea fields.
Does anybody know why the difference?
Is there a way to copy and paste for applets running in the 1.4.2 jvm?
Thanks.

I think it must be some security restriction.
Set a policy for the applet or sign it:
Set a policy (windows):
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re****\lib\security\java.policy
under grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
this means that you give all permission to all code, if you only want to give permissions for applets
comming from google you can add the following:
grant codeBase "http://google.com/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
to sign

Copy and Paste into JTextArea

Hi,
I have a problem with the JTextArea component. When I try to copy and paste text (from like notepad or web browser) into the JTextArea it works fine. But on other computers it won't respond to the "ctrl-v" command. I'm having trouble on figuring this out. Any suggestions?

Are the "other computers" running Windows?

Selecting objects in a layer to copy and paste into a new doc?

How can I select all objects in a layer and copy and paste the objects into a new document? We are having issues with the copy and paste method. Is this because it uses the operating systems clipboard?

the sample I mentioned describes how to duplicate all selected objects in a document, using
var docSelected = app.activeDocument.selection;
it is usually not advice to use the selection for this kind of stuff, to work with ALL pageItems in a document use
var allPageItems = app.activeDocument.pageItems;
now if you only want to copy items in a layer you can use either the index number (for instance, top layer index = 0) or the name of the layer (for instance "Layer1"), use this, you don't have to select them
var topLayerPageItems = app.activeDocument.layers[0].pageItems;
or using the layer name
var Layer1PageItems = app.activeDocument.layers['Layer1"].pageItems;

Don't know how or where to create user.js file so I can add script to allow copy and paste into a webbased email

I am trying to compose an email from the email address on my web page. The email editor program (or Mozilla) doesn't allow me to do that. The instructions that Mozilla provided said to find the user.js file in Firefox's profile directory. I can't find such a file. I don't know where or how to create this file or how to write into it the lines that the instructions provided. I also don't know what url I am supposed to substitute for mozila.org that is in the lines of script.

This was helpful. Now, to to do what I need to do I have to add something to the user.js file as per directions regarding ''setting prefs for Mozilla Rich Text Editing Demo'' to allow a copy and paste. It instructs me to change the URL from mozila.org to where I want to enable the function. I am not sure what that means. I am trying to to do something in the "back office" of my web site. I want to send an email from the web site's email. I am trying to copy and paste a pdf file into the body of the email but was not able to do it. I was directed to the setting prefs page. Do I change the location to the URL of my web site or the web site of the web host?

How can I get rid of formatting marks in a doc that is copied and pasted into word; these marks don't show up in Safari.

When copying and pasting text from an article into Word, formatting marks appear in the copied text that don't appear if I cut and paste from Safari to Word. This started several months ago, perhaps even a year ago. I assume it's a FF issue since it doesn't happen with Safari, which I don't use if I can avoid it.

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.

How to copy and paste into the same picture using quick selection tool

I have Photoshop CS5 and am new at this. What I need to do is copy and paste something in the image back into the same image. I can select it with the quick selection tool. All I want to do is paste a copy of it back into my image, move it and rotate it a little.
I've searched for an answer for a couple of days now and evidently, I'm searching for the wrong thing. This is what I need to do and I don't know how to get there. I do this in Digital Image Suite all the time and it's very simple. I know Photoshop is a lot more complicated but you can do more with it so I am trying to switch by using it to work on my projects. I've read articles where people say to use the quick selection tool and do a copy and paste but for me, all it does is add blank layer and the selection disappears. If I paste again, it pastes the item in the middle of the image and I can't move it or change it in any way.
One more question: in the Filters menu, all of the filters are gray-shaded. I read that I have to buy these filters, is that true?
Thank you for your help. If there is a beginner's forum where you would rather I post my questions, please let me know.

Once you have a selection, I use Ctrl C to copy and Ctrl V to paste. This will add a layer but may not look like it as it is in exactly the same spot in picture. If you paste again it will show up near middle of picture.
If you want to resize and rotate use Ctrl T.
More options are in Edit/Transform. I particularly like Warp.
All the filters should be active, but many only work in 8 bit RGB mode. To see what mode they are in click Image/Mode.
