Copy and Paste Object Changes Properties

I'm trying to create a watermark of my stationary. Ultimately, I want all the pages of my resume to have this background. The stationary is built of three separate objects: a logo in the upper left hand corner, my contact information (created as a png in another app) along the bottom left and a large circular object that runs off the right and bottom of the page and sits behind whatever text I have over it.
I have yet to find an online tutorial that tells me how to create this and put it on each page. But I did manage, by trial and error to set up the first page. I then tried to copy the round object from the first page and paste it on the second. It pasted exactly where I wanted it, but it will not go backward. 'Send Backward' and 'Send to the Back' are both greyed out. Do I have to build this from scratch on each page?

Make whatever object/s you want to repeat throughout a section, a Master Object.
Thank you, Peter, that was exactly what I sought. For those reading this (or when I return to it, having forgotten the answer), in Pages 5.2, find this at Arrange>Section Masters>Move Object to Section Master.
Why have you made your contact information a .png, which presumably you might want people to be able to copy and paste into their Contacts as text?
An excellent question for which I have no good answer. I have changed it to a text box.
Thanks,

CS3 Copy and Paste objects - changing ID names

Hi all,
That subject doesn't describe things as accurately as I'd
like.
But here's the behavior my new CS3 is doing that I'd like to
stop if
possible.
If I have an object (Div tag or whatver.., maybe an entire
set of nested
tables 3 nests deep).
If, in design view, I copy a selection, then paste in a
different spot, I
noticed that the style I had associated with the ID of that
element no
longer showed.
That's becuase CS3 changed the ID of the object by adding a
2, or 3 or 4 as
the iterations progress with each paste.
I understand that in what I described, that's meant to help,
don't want more
than one item of the same ID (classes should be used then
instead).
But that aside, how can I turn off the behavior of CS3
changing my ID names.
I'd rather handle that myself.
Apologies if it's in an easy to find spot, if so I must have
looked right
over it.
Thanks
-Dave

Very very annoying then.

What error are you getting? What is it your are trying to copy/paste? Is your email set to plain text for some reason?

Trying to copy and paste objects in keynote 6 I only get a hyperlink when pasting. Anyone else having the same problem? is there anywhere I can change it so that the copied object is pasted directly into the new slide?

Hi
I am trying to copy one object from one lside to another slide in the same presentation. The only thing I get when pasting is a hyperink. Does anyone know how I can turn this off so that the image or the object is pasted as copied to the new slide?
Thanks a lot

there are some unexpected issues when copy and pasting.
As a workaround, use duplicate slide to get the same object in another slide, (select the slide in navigator and command D or right click > duplicate)

How do you copy and paste track changes material in Pages from one point in a document to another and keep both the old text along with the track changed thus far in the new pasted location?

Depending on whether track changes is on/paused, Pages thinks the pasted material is either all new and thus highlights it as a big track change or just copies the old material along with the edits as plain text so that I cannot see my track changes. I need to be able to copy and paste in the same document and still be able to see the older text along with the changes to certain sections thus far. Is this possible? I need a step-by-step "talk to me like I'm five" instructional if what I would like can be done.
Thanks for any help!

What version of Pages?
What OS, iOS or OSX?
Are you sure you have the Table selected and not a cell or just contents?

Copy and paste object position

Hello
I am fairly new to Keynote from Powerpoint.
I had a tool in powerpoint which enable me to "copy" an object's size and position then "paste" that size and position to an object on another slide (it was a macro - not part of Powerpoint itself). Specifically I have many slides with text boxes and I want the text boxes to be the same size and position on every slide. They are already in the slides (got brought over from PowerPoint) but font and other things have slightly messed everything up so now I want to sort it out again.
Is there anyway I can do this? I know copy style but that doesn't seem to do it but maybe I am missing something. I know the object has position tags and though maybe they could be used in some way.
Many thanks for your help
Deb

One way to rectify things would be to copy the X position from the Metrics Inspector of a text box in correct location, then paste that into the X position field in the Metrics Inspector of the text boxes to be adjusted, and then do the same for the Y position.
However, a faster approach might be simply to create a blank text box on one of the slides, position it where you want, then copy and paste that box on all the other slides -- when pasted, it will be in the same position as on the original slide. You can then cut and paste the text from the old text boxes to the new one.

Cannot copy and paste objects in my project... Captivate 6

Hello,
I actually wrote about this yesterday, but I would like to mention it again because it's a big problem. I have a Adobe Captivate 6 project, and I cannot copy and paste text captions, buttons, smart shapes, etc. Do any of the experts out there have any advice? I could probably send you a video of the problem if you'd like...
Thank you in advance!
Ryan

Solution : I created a new project and copied and pasted the slides from the old project to the new project. Copy and paste works as it should in the new project.

Copying and pasting objects

I used to be able to select an object and copy it from one pdf to another. I now have Adobe Standard 10 and have been unable to. I can copy the object to the clipboard and the paste is greyed out. Any ideas?

Is the issue specific to a particular pdf or occurs with any pdf?
Have you tried updating Acrobat to the latest patch and checked?

Captivate 6 - Cannot copy and paste to different slides

Hello,
I have recently spent some time creating an Captivate template to use for my company' s eLearnings. I noticed when I created a project from this template, I am not able to copy and paste objects (eg buttons) from one slide to the next in the new cptx file.
   As a test, I created a simple dummy template, and then created a project from this dummy template, and I have the same problem.
   Within the dummy template, I can copy and paste objects to a new slide, but within my company's template, I cannot.
Note: the pasted object doesnt show up on the stage nor the timeline.

Thanks. Yea, I think I incorrectly used the template.   I inserted a number of text captions (not place-holders) into my template, and these annoyingly essentially became master slides within my .cptx project - in other words, any inserted slide in the new .cptx project placed after one of these "template" slides inherted the text captions from the "template" slide, and I couldn't delete these text captions. I essentially had to delete the "template" slide and rebuild it within the .cptx project. What is even weirder, is the inherted, un-wanted text captions did not appear during playback or in the film-strip, but only were visible on stage in "editing" mode.

Looks pretty cool. The only issue I see that needs some thought is...what if I decide, after copying something, that I want to copy something else. The demo shows you how to paste something after copying, but I'd need another option to pop up before the paste box...something like "Copy or Paste?", where I could tap a button and tell it that I want to throw away the copied text and add something new to the clipboard. Still, it's a nice little proof of concept and I really hope Apple adds copy/paste to iPhone VERY soon. It's one of those features that too useful to leave out.

Why do objects get bigger when I copy and paste from one Keynote document to another?

I have 2 keynote presentation files open. I select some objects on one slide, apple-C to copy, go over to a blank slide in another file, and apple-V to paste. The item(s) get pasted but are much bigger - they take up way more of the new slide than they did for the old one. What am I missing? Why can't I copy it with the same relative size it used to have?

Chances are that small file used to be a PowerPoint file - PowerPoint deals in inches instead of pixels (which blows my mind).
I would first convert the smaller file to a larger resolution - that should keep most of the scaling intact - and then copy and paste. In my opinion you'll probably have to re-polish your presentation once you've changed the resolution as some things will probably be a bit wonky.

Copy and Paste InDesigne gives inserted graphic, not object!? Bug or "feature"?

When I copy and paste any object in Indesign (Vectorgraphics, Rectangle, Textarea, everything) it isn't pasted as another object, it's paster as an inserted Graphic. I use Creative Cloud, updating automatically. Is this a new "feature" or a bug? Copying and pasting an Object -> i want an object again (editable and with the same color etc) and not an inserted graphic. Can I change any settings for that or something? never had this problem before!
I would really appreciate your help as it's really uncomfortable in the workflow even though i could understand it would increase performance and reduce data volume.

I have problem like this with indesign cs6 and windows 7, when i copy and paste frames it paste as there is graphic inside with a content grabner, my work around is from windows start>all program >go to indesign and run as administrator. Hope this may help.

Color change between copy and paste

Hi,
when I draw a rectangle or any other shape in Pages and give that objet a color (RGB: 175,217,82) and I copy and paste that objet, the color of the copied object does change to (RGB: 188,219,108). Copying the copied object stays the same (RGB: 188,219,108).
This unwanted color-change is very annoying! Help, what am I doing wrong?
Best regards.
Maurice

Maurice,
There is a difference between the RGB color assigned to the object and the color you measure when you probe the screen area of the object with the color picker tool. I presume this has something to do with the screen driver's attempt to balance the colors or something. (Not an expert here, just observing.)
There hasn't been a change in color, just a difference between the assignment and the measurement. Trust the color swatch of the Fill tool, not the measurement tool.
