Copy and paste text that contains 1/2

'''ALL''' text from any Firefox webpage that contains the character "1/2"… when pasted into a word processing document (Appleworks v. 6.2.9, in this case) inserts MULTIPLE 1/2 spaces.
All individual text characters are thus separated by two (2) 1/2 spaces and word spacings are three (3) 1/2 spaces.

The way to do it in previous versions (at least in version 9) was by
right-clicking the field and selecting Duplicate. This created copies of the
fields in the same place as the original, but also with the same name, and
therefore the same value. You will need to rename them if you want them to
be unique. If you need to do this very often, a script might be a better
solution.

  • How do I disable the paste function on a PDF so that the reader can write text on it but not copy and paste text onto it?

    I'm trying to create a PDF for my students to take notes on during class but I don't want them to be able to copy and paste the notes. I'm using adobe professional to create the PDF.

    Why do you want to prevent copy and paste? They can take screen shots of the pdf if they are real insistent? If you password protect your file, to prevent copy and paste, but that is trivial to circumvent. You can convert your pdf to tiff and then re-import, the resulting file will be an image pdf file.The contents will be an image which doesn’t prevent copy and paste, will prevent it being done as text.

  • Select, Copy and Paste text - the iPhone can't do that either???

    Select, Copy and Paste text - the iPhone can't do that either??? OK, this is pretty lame...the iPhone does not allow you to select, copy or paste text in SMS, Notes, Safari or Mail. Is this just a oversight on the part of Apple?

    Apple left out a LOT of basic functionality from the iPhone. I think they believe that the 'sexiness factor' will far outweigh the need for functionality in getting this phone to sell. For the most part they were right. Now that most of us have realized what this phone cannot do, and that the honeymoon is over (well, for the most part) I hope that Apple will do include some of that basic functionality in future updates. I also hope that the 3G phone is not the answer to this because that will leave out a lot of users who want these basic features but who dont really want 3G.

    You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.
    Or even better while the iPhone is connected to my PC can I view the address book on the iPhone and make changes using my PC keyboard?
    No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

  • How to NOT retain formatting when copying and pasting text

    Captivate 7 keeps the formatting from my text sources when I paste into a Text Caption which is not what I need. Anything I could find in the forums where questions relating to "keeping" the source formatting. I don't want this, I want Captivate to keep its text formatting when I paste text into a text caption. I even did a test creating a new project and using one of the Cap 7 themes. If I paste text in the default capture caption style object, it retains the formatting of the copied text source.  I have been working with Captivate 7 since a few months now and, until this morning, when I copied and pasted text from another source into my Captivate Text Caption, it retained the format of my Captivate Text Caption object. This is exactly what I need. How can I get this behavior back?
    I appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Hi there
    Well, first I would report it as undesired behavior and possibly ask for an enhancement that allows us to right-click and paste without formatting. Do this using the link below:

    For now, you have a couple of options.
    1. Perform a side trip. Open a text editor such as Windows Notepad or Apple Textpad and paste, then copy back to the clipboard. Then paste the text into the caption. (When pasting into the text editor, formatting is stripped)
    2. On Windows machines, you can usually find a clipboard utility that allows you to paste as pure text. In fact, one such application is called PureText.

    When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
    This does not happen in Safari.
    (Mac OSX 10.6.4 with Firefox 3.6.6).
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

  • How to copy and paste text from a web site viewed in Chrome using the Xperia z3v?

    I have searched high and low for a way to copy and paste text from a web site in Chrome using the Xperia z3v.  I've tried a long tap, a double tap, a triple tap - nothing works. I am able to select text, copy and paste it in a Word doc, however.  There must be some way to do this on a web site in Chrome. I'm certain I am not trying to select text that is really an image. I am trying to copy text. Here is the link where I'm trying to get the text. It's a recipe.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/mushroom-pilaf.html#! Maybe I should try to get Firefox for smart phones and see if that works. Any ideas?Thank you!

  • Why can't you copy and paste text from the Dictionary widget?

    I use this dictionary often, but I wish that I was able to copy and paste the text from it.

    Just use the Dictionary application in the Applications folder. You will have no problem copying and pasting text from the full application. I just tried it and it works fine.

    Hi DG.
    The easiest way to copy an HP Photo Creations project to another computer is to click the Share button. That will upload the project to the Web and give you a link you can paste into an email. Clicking the link on the other computer allows you to download the project and personalize it. This quick video shows the process. (The screen looks slightly different now, but the concept is the same.)
    Another way to share a project is copy the project folder to a thumb drive. Look in Documents/HP Photo Creations/My Things to find your saved projects.
    Our customer support team would be happy to walk you through the process. Contact them at [email protected]
    Hope this helps,

  • Trying to copy and paste text from a pdf to a webpage

    trying to copy and paste text from a pdf to my iWeb edit page shows up as red lines,  only shows up on the website if I highlight it, please help

    If it only shows up when you highlight it, then it could be your font or your font color. Try changing both to a different font to see if that helps. If not, copy it into a word processor such as Microsoft Word, Pages, or Text Edit to see if it shows up there. If it does, try copying it again from the processor to your webpage.

  • I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook.

    I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook. I opened Safari and tapped/held the text I wanted to copy, but nothing happened. I have tried everything, and I am getting frustrated.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

  • How to copy and paste text into email without HTML gibberish

    I've had trouble for some time now copying and pasting text into and out of yahoo emails. I can't just copy and paste text, I have to first transfer to Word for Mac and then paste into a yahoo email. Then I end up with what looks like three lines of HTML gibberish at the start of the pasted text each time. Isn't there a clean and direct way of copy and paste of text into and from emails in yahoo? No other email I work with has this problem, and the Safari browser doesn't give this same issue
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == some recent Firefox update, I think

    I have to agree with bmalmquist.  Need for Speed seems to work great on the Playbook.  I didn't buy the Playbook to play games though.  RIM needs to shift their focus from games to useful and productive apps.  The apps I need to use are either missing very important features, or are just completely missing.  It is somewhat disconcerting to see new apps appear in App World only to discover that the new apps are mostly games.  I'm seeing lots of apps that would help me waste time, but very few that will actually help me be more productive.

  • How to copy and paste Text in iMovie?

    Applying text to clips in iMovie is a breeze, also customizing fonts & colour. However, when you finally have your text finalized, the logical thing is to reuse that design throughout the movie. As a previous Pinnacle Studio user, I intuitively would assume that you could select your text label and Copy / Paste it to a new position. Am I right in my observation iMovie seems not to have this functionality?

    iMovie 08 has the ability to Copy and Paste text.
    However, you cannot copy and paste the entire Title overlay. You are constrained to the pre-set Titles. Once you have selected a Title style, (let's say Lower Third), you can change the font and color. Then highlight the text and copy. You can put another lower third title elsewhere in the project and Paste the original text with font and color changes that you copied earlier.

  • How to copy and paste text in message body?

    Hi,
    my question is how I can copy and paste text within a text in an email message (that is shifting phrases and passages around) without using the cumbersome "Edit". If there's a way, does it also work for texts in Pages? Please, let me know. Thanks!
    Frank

    Hi Len,
    actually I thought about highlighting a word, phrase, or passage, holding it with the mouse, and then shifting it around within the text to the desired place, just as I used to do when I owned a PC. Does this work with Mac as well?
