Copy and paste: Tabs vs return

Hello, a question about Numbers 09 (and 08: this didn't change)
If you copy a set of cells and paste it into a text editor, Excel (correctly) adds tabs betweens row cells, and a return carriage between rows. Instead, Numbers adds return carriages all over the places (two for row ends, one between row cells). This is a bit annoying, as obliges me to do a lot of replacements to do the treatments I need to do. Any way to change this behavior?
Best,
l.

The culprit is not Numbers which correctly inserts TABs as we may check running the scrip:
get (the clipboard as record)
which returns something like:
tell current application
the clipboard as record
{Unicode text:"B2 C2 D2
B3 C3 D3", picture:«data PICT000000000000001D0100001102FF0C00FFFE0000004800000048 …
Alas, BBEdit like TextWrangler deciphers wrongly the Unicode text passed.
So I repeat, use
set the clipboard to (the clipboard as text)
so, BBEDIT will receive datas which it is able to decipher correctly.
You may also ask the BBEdit authors to learn the way to correctly treat a chunk of Unicode Text

On the Firefox drop down menu for Firefox 4, the tab for cut, copy and paste is not highlighted. Is there another way for me to include this on the Firefox start page?

I have Firefox 4. In the Firefox drop down menu, there is an option to cut, copy and paste but it is not highlighted. Please tell me how to highlight this link. Or is there a way to have a cut copy and paste tab?

Those links in the Edit menu are only highlighted if there is something to do:<br />
Paste should be enabled if the clipboard has data placed on it by a previous Copy or Cut and you have set focus on a text area or field that allows to paste that data.
Copy works if some text is selected.

Pages: On the new version of Pages, I can't select the invisible character "return". I need to copy and past it on "Find and replace". How can I do that? Thanx.

To change all the "-" by — that starts a dialogue on a book, I used to copy and past "Return" + "-" to ensure that all the "-" will not be change. But on the new version of Page if I select the "Return" character, and past it on "Find", the "Space" is appearing. How to select the "Return" character ? hanks for your help.

Select a song. Hit command-I (Mac) or Ctrl-I (Windows). In the pane which opens select the 'Artwork' tab. Drag an image to the space.
Or, select an album: same keystroke. In the pane which opens is a space labelled 'Artwork' - drag an image there.

In iphoto 11 the copy and past buttons to the adjustment tab are gone

In iphoto 11 the copy and past buttons to the adjustment tab are gone. I thought this was a cool feature. They still work when you click alt-c or alt-v. Did anyone notice this?

I've noticed too and I don't like it! I tried to alt-c like you said and when I do that, it just takes me to the crop. It won't allow me to copy the adjustments! Is there any way around this??

Xcelsius Engage 2008 - copy and paste in Tabs/Canvases

I am trying to copy and paste grouped or un-grouped components from one tab into another tab/canvas. The grouped components get pasted into the new tab/canvas, but are also duplicated in the original tab/canvas. When I delete the duplicated components from the original tab/canvas, they get deleted from the new tab/canvas. Does anyone know how to effectively copy and paste from one canvas to another?

Hi Susan,
As far as I remember, I too got this issue sometime back and was addressed by installing the latest service pack/fix pack; the version 5.1.1.0. Try getting the latest one from the site and see if it fixes your issue.
Good Luck!!!

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.

I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

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...
Jim

Can no longer copy and paste with new version. Articles you provided did not help.

When I try to copy and paste in firefox it says I can't do it any longer. It's a security issue, and the "learn more" tab gives some abstruse directions about completely closing firefox, and then getting back in without opening it to a place I can't find.
Could you please tell me how to re-enable these necessary functions in an understandable way?

Is this only on one website? some websites disable copy and pasting for various reasons.
If this happens on every website, have you tried to start Firefox up in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]? It may be an extension causing the problem.
Also, go ahead and update to Firefox 11, since it does have several bug fixes (I don't recall anything related to copy and paste, but give it a go [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] )
Or, you may have some sort of virus which is interfering with your copy and paste. Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]

Copy and Paste not working properly in MLion

A week or so ago I purchased and installed the upgrade to Mountain Lion OS X. Whenever I try to copy large number of files from one folder to onother in my desktop, the copy and paste process does not.
Copy/Paste of a few files works, different from the previous OS system but works. However, if I copy 3000 files or more then the computer slows down significantly or freezes. The little colorful spinning wheel replaces the cursor arrow and cannot use anything else in the computer. I need to abort the finder (op+com+esc) to stop the process. While copying large number of files the copy status bar never appears to show the copying process. I was used to see the copy status window with information about the number of files, their size, time remaining and the little bar in the middle growing from left to right as the copy process continued. None of this happens with MLion.
I called Apple for service. I spent hrs with their customer service people on the phone who suggested a number of things that we implemented to try to correct the problem. Nothing worked! Finally they asked me to reinstall MLion and so I did. The problem was not fixed. They asked me turn on, off, unplug the computer, etc. and nothing fixed the problem.
In sum I just want my old OS system that used to work fine. MLion is substandard, we do not want our money back we just want the computer to work as it used to so we can return to be productive again. Any suggestion on how to reinstall SLeopard without having to reinstall every single piece of software in the computer? Thanks.

I am actually CUTTING and Pasting (CMD+C, CMD-OPTION-V) and Finder gets stuck either with the keyboard or dragging (Holding CMD to Move the Files)
I was downloading Midi files from a reliable website that I've using for years www.vgmusic.com. I was using Safari, so I downloaded Midi soundfiles from a particular videogame using the ALT key to speed things up. Say I downloaded 120 small (10-100KB ) files. I SHIFT selected them from the Downloads Folder and then I dragged them with CMD to place them in my 500GB (the non-system) partition. It got stuck. File is being used, was the message given.
So I thought it was Safari-related, so I switched to Firefox and downloaded another batch and dragged them to my Midi folder on the 500GB. Same thing. I've restarted and quit all open programs. I thought it was an external drive that was hogging access, so I unplugged all my external HDDs (320GB FAT32, 1GB NTFS, 3GB HFS+).
I also thought that VLC was the culprit so I reinstalled it and erased the preferences. Now it is not running.
Now I have some greyed-out files that are zero-kilobytes in the destination folder.
Let's say I try to move the first one "pkrs_petersburg.mid" and "pokecenter.mid" , this appears,
A message saying "preparing to move to "PokemonRSE" "preparing to move 2 files". Come on, I would expect to see this if the files were large, these are 23KB and 9KB!!
The message is in French and it means "It's not possible to move the file "pokecenter.mid" right now because it is being used by another task, such as the copying or moving of a file or the emptying of the Trash. Try again once the task is finished.
The other message (from a previous attempt) is "It is not possible to place all selected files in the same place: at least one of them, named "pokecenter.mid" is being used."
I already emptied out my Trash!

How do you copy and paste a bookmark? I can do this with explorer, why can't I do this with a program that is supposed to be better?

I can not copy and paste a bookmark from Firefox to an open window on my desktop. I also can not find a favorite folder like the one I have when I used to use Explorer?

If you use the icon at the left hand end of the address bar that should drag and drop on to your desktop and create a link to the webpage. That link should then be usable by your default browser i.e. Firefox
Firefox does not use a folder of favourite files, although it is able to export bookmarks in the HTML format. used by Internet Explorer.
Firefox uses a special database of bookmarks and you interact with them using the dropdown menu lists and the Bookmarks Library / manager see
* How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites
*[[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar]]
* [[Get started with Firefox - An overview of the main features#w_bookmark-a-website]]_bookmark-a-website <br /> A long article and worth scrolling up and down to learn about Firefox

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.
