Copy and paste multiple text layers DW CC

I searched around and couldn't find a good solution to an issue I am having. I am solid with DW but by no means brilliant, so hopefully this doesn't come across as completely ignorant. Basically, I have a 400 plus page website that I have to do updates on often.. the way the client wanted it designed makes it problematic for updates regardless of my informing him that doing it differently could save us both a lot of problems, but at the same time, the site is actually perfect for what it is due to how it was done and no templating based site out there can do what it does so I am stuck with it for now. Each of the 400 plus pages has 6 individual text layers that had to be laid out according to the individual photo on each page, very specialized. My question is, is there a way to copy and paste multiple layers in DW. Small updates are fine, but larger updates are a nightmare due to the text issue and page numbers, and believe me, I have been up and down and around about how to make it easier.. but, that said, if I could copy all six layers at once and paste all six in the new document, life would be a lot easier on this project. I also tried linking the layers and sending them, but that doesn't seem to work for some reason.
Any thoughts guys?
Thanks much for your time.

Thanks Jon, I will give that a try at some point, I am more on the designer end of things but I could manage to find the layers and give that a shot. I would love to show you the site, but the owner is very security conscious and only allows certain parties to see the site. I don't have any knowledge of background driven sites as web design is more of an extra thing when a client just really wants me involved. I am fine with the repetitive work.. if what you suggest works, it breaks my job down by 6 times and that would actually be a huge relief. Though I am over paid and hourly and the client has plenty of money, I just stop enjoying what I am doing with it after a bit to the point that I don't want to do it anymore regardless of the money. I have thought of subcontracting someone with more experience in the arena that could make it database driven like you are saying, but, it is just such a monster that getting someone else involved (especially with a client that keeps it so close) will be more work than it is worth. Fortunately, I think there will only be another update or two and then it will be finished as a collection. The site houses a world renowned textile collection half photo half info about the pieces.. my method thus far has been to keep the photos laid out in Lightroom, where I output the monster site in one of the simple flash sites and then add the text in DW.. I take the new photos and html and connect them to the new site and front thumbnail pages with my original which I have kept adding to over the years. To a degree it is decently quick and efficient, but when he drops or buys more than 10 pieces, and then needs to change photos, thumbs, and add text to anywhere but the last few pages, it can get into headacheland. With a major change, it would be faster for me to just reoutput the whole photo based flash site from LR and then copy and paste all six layers on each photo.. but as you know, that has been my issue thus far and what I get for only having my toes into a program.
Thanks for your reply..

Copy and paste multiple texts from Word to Indesign

Hello!!
I would like to simplify multiple operations where I need to copy multiple text boxes from a Word doc into multiple boxes in Indesign, and be able to specify the exact location of each box in the Indesign doc. For example, I would like to take 7 text boxes from a Word doc and copy them separately into 7 boxes in the Indesign doc, rather than have to go back and forth into the Word doc. 7 times and pasting each text box one by one.
See the screenshots
Thank you in advance,
Enrico

That looks a lot like case for Data Merge. It won´t give you any tools for copy/pasting multiple textboxes but with little work, you could make a template where you could drop multiple Items like you have in your screenshot. It won´t work with docs, but if you can convert your stuff to excel, then it would be quite nice solution for you.

Is copying and pasting multiple keyframes disabled?

I haven't used after effects for a year or so, but I am 100% positive that I was able to copy multiple keyframes or duplicate them just by holding down the alt key and dragging, or by hitting cmd+c and cmd+v. I'm trying to do that now but it copies the actual layers, not the keyframes and I found a plugin here http://aescripts.com/paste-multiple-keyframes/ that lets you copy and paste multiple keyframes .. I really don't understand why adobe would disable such a helpful feature, could anyone let me know if they have the same problem or am I doing something wrong? I'm desperate!
Thank you

> I am 100% positive that I was able to copy multiple keyframes or duplicate them just by holding down the alt key and dragging
That has never been a feature of After Effects.
> hitting cmd+c and cmd+v
I just tried copying and pasting multiple keyframes using these commands, and it worked fine for me.
> I really don't understand why adobe would disable such a helpful feature,
We changed nothing in this area.

Firefox Sync setup says "Incorrect words, try again" after receiving message "Your answer was correct. Please copy and paste the text in this text box into the box below."

When setting up Firefox Sync, I get all the way to the "Please Confirm You're Not a Robot" screen in the wizard, and enter the captcha values. I then receive in a small scrollable text area the message "Your answer was correct. Please copy and paste the text in this text box into the box below."
I copy and paste the code, in this case "03AHJ_Vuv1gStVScBWSYWw6M4_KKQ4wzhCDSzKqiCfv57XXGyvHtOk4ixehysQhOTIf-lsL41lc5n-piztjYJSKu6urCeRvETVfpzRDh7OmHCDZiIBZv9Qg4oyrmWDMu6JA7Eh-4C8aZn4" into the only other visible text box, and click the next button, only to receive the message "Incorrect words, try again."
My only option is to cancel at that point. I have tried this three times, once even starting the entire process over from the start, and it ends up with the same outcome each time.

Copy and paste a Text-Layer to another picture - Its not a Textlayer more

Hello,
i tried to copy a text-layer from one psd-Picture and i want to paste it into other pictures:
var dok_textebene = app.documents.getByName ("text.psd");
dok_textebene.artLayers["name of the textlayer"] .copy() ;
//chage to a other picture
app.activeDocument = otherpictureRef ;
app.activeDocument.paste ();
// this is ok, i could copy & paste the layer
// But it is not any more a text-layer
//then i tried this code to change the state of the layer to a text-layer
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT ;
But this was not aible, i get an error.
Does anybody know how i could copy and paste a text-layer ?
Thanks
realbutsch

It might be better to duplicate the text IE:
var currentDoc = app.activeDocument;
var dok_textebene = app.documents.getByName ("text.psd");
app.activeDocument = dok_textebene;
activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.artLayers.getByName('name of the textlayer');
activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate(currentDoc);

Copy and Paste Unformatted Text to documents

A very useful feature at times is the ability to copy and paste formatted text from pages (in this case webpage) to a document (text edit, word). Which means that what ever bold, font or style on a page is copied to the clipboard and then pasted identically to the document.
question:
Is there a way to copy or paste the plain text of the clipboard rather than the formatted version?
thanks..

Hi, SU.
Many applications support this, but how it is implemented varies by application.
In many apps, if you paste using the Command-Option-V keyboard shortcut (instead of Command-V for paste), it will paste the clipboard contents either:
• Without the styles used in the document from which the text was copied.
• In the same style as the document into which you are pasting the text.
Some apps, e.g. Microsoft Office, have an Edit > Paste Special menu choice that permits one to select that text should be pasted either without the styles or matching the style of your document.
In Mail, the keyboard shortcut is Command-Option-Shift-V.
Consult the Help for the particular application to determine how one can paste what is commonly called "styled text" without the styles. Styled text is text in the clipboard that retains the style of the document from which it was copied.
Good luck!

Copy and paste error - Text pastes at half-size.

Copy and paste error — Text pastes at half-size.
When I copy and paste text already in my photoshop document, the text retains the styling but the text size is exactly half of what it should be.
I'm using the most recent version of CS6. Thanks!

Ok, I found the issue.
http://d.pr/i/h48E
The text box was transformed by 200%, while other text boxes are at 100%. So when you copy a 200% into a 100% it's half. Makes no sense that this is a feature.

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

I want to publish a book with Blurb. They don't have Russian fonts, so I have to type the text in Russian in Notes in my iPad, send it to my e-mail box, and then open the e-mail box in Mac, and copy and paste the text into the book template of Blurbs. I don't know how to make a Russian keyboard in Mac to be able to type quickly. I asked about it in the Apple store, and they showed me how to find a Russian keyboard in the net, but it takes much time to type using a screen keyboard, and the texts also cannot be copied and pasted, when they are in Russian. They are erased when I press 'command+C", and all I have is a single letter 'c' instead. No problems with texts in English. Maybe Russian is not supported for copying and pasting?:(

Copy and paste multiple ap divs

I'm selecting multiple ap divs, copying, and attempting to
paste to another page. Only the last div in the succession of
selections is pasting, ie, index page - select div1, div2,
div3...div10, copy, paste to nextpage.html. Only div 10 appears.
Thanks for the assistance....
David Bird

That is mother nature's way to suggest that you not use so
many AP Divs.
I'm afraid it's all you get. What is it you are trying to
accomplish?

Problems copying and pasting multiple slides from one captivate to another.

I have been able to copy and paste several slides into
another captivate and suddenly this has stopped working. I am using
the ctrl key to select multiple slides (a set of 3) and the using
the Edit drop-down to select copy slide. Then, I click on the other
captivate and click paste slides. It is only bringing 1 slide, the
first one, and not the 2nd and 3rd... any ideas. I've had another
set of eyes look over my shoulder... and we're both scratching our
heads.
Also, for some reason the text entry boxes are being copied,
but the failure caption associated with it does not come along. It
also copied the button but lost the association with the text entry
box. WTH?

This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
solve this glitch in my experience.
Good Luck

Can I copy and paste the texts or graphics to another project?

Hi folks, I am working on several movie clips which share the same graphics and most contents as beginning intro. Just a few sentences are different. If would be so much hassle if I had to type everything and import the images to every clips. I noticed that I can't open two projects at the same time. So I am wondering if I can group them, copy and paste them to another project? Is it doable?
Thanks a lot for your time!

Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is a repository for articles on how to do things in PrE & PrPro. Maybe Steve Grisetti, our tireless MOD, can move your post to the main forum, where more folk will see it, and can comment on it.
In the meantime, you are correct - one cannot have two Projects Open at the same time, and you cannot Copy/Paste between Projects, without an additional program, like the Clipboard extender, ClipMate. That is one way to get what you want.
Possibly there is another way to do what you want, without any additional programs. If you have Titles, and they will only change by a bit, you can create a "master" Title with graphics, text, Styles, etc., and then Save each as a Template, which can be used in multiple Projects, and also altered/edited in those Projects, as is needed. Everytime that I create a Title, with potential for reuse, I just do the Export as Template (the exact syntax might differ by version, but the result is the same - a PRTL Title Template file, located where you direct the program), and then those will appear in my Title "organizer" to be chosen. When one Imports one, they can be edited, as needed.
If one has an Intro, that will be reused, then one could create that, with any audio, images and Titles, and Export/Share as a DV-AVI, or similar, for later use. Note: with this method, one could not directly edit any Titles in such an Asset, as they would no longer be official Titles, and would be footage in an AV Clip. One could Cut out a Title, and replace it with a real Title, but then one would have to adjust for Transitions, if any were used. Still, I have some Intros, and Outros, that are constant, like The End Outros, and I use the Exported AV Clips there. In some cases, I leave the Intro, or Outro slightly unfinished, so that I can just add in, say a Title for each use in other Projects.
Good luck, and when the post is moved to the main forum, there will probably be some additional comments on slightly different workflows.

Keep Formatting during Copy and Paste in Text Box

Hi everyone,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI v11.0.0 on Windows 7.
When I am copying and pasting numbers and text within the same text box, I lose the original formatting. How can I paste with the formatting retained? For example, if I copy Bold1234subscript , pasting within the same text box gives me Bold1234Subscript.
However, formatting is preserved when I copy and paste the entire text box.
Thank you very much!

As far as I know you can't do that. In any case, it sounds like you are trying to use Acrobat in a way that is not part of its design. Go back to your original document and edit that, then create a new PDF.

PSD-layered - copy and paste properties to layers in Motion?

Hi,
I imported a layered photoshop file into Motion.
I applied certain properties to one layer (with key frames, such as rotate, scale, shadow...) and I want to know if there is a way to copy those properties and paste them onto the other layers so I can then go in and do certain tweaks, without having to do each layer from scratch...
(This is something that you can do in FinalCut, copy and past attributes, but I can't seem to find that option in Motion.)
Thanks

you can do this by selecting the layers with the properties you want, then in the inspector, drag and drop the parameters onto the the layer you want them applied to.
