Copy and paste without font & size attributes

isn't there a way to copy and paste text so that it takes the attributes of the recipient app instead of the "copied" attributes? ie: I want a copied 12pt Times Word sentence to appear as the defined Filemaker field font/size when pasted into Filemaker.

isn't there a way to copy and paste text so that it takes the attributes of the recipient appThis is down to the "recipient app" to implement. For example, TextEdit has "Paste and Match Style" which does what you want. Microsoft Word has "Paste Special …" with various options. I don't know Filemaker, so don't know what is on the "Edit" menu.

Copy and paste, without maintaining the font?

Hey all.
I keep running into this annoying situation where i copy and paste into a pages document, and i would like the pasted text to match the font and size of the rest of the text in the document. Is there a way that i can avoid having to select the new font and size after pasting? I know this doesn't sound like a hassle, but it always ends up being kind of a pain.

ms,
You're not the only one. That's why the designers of Pages included the command Paste and Match Style. It's in the Edit Menu.

Copy and paste without keeping variable names

Is it possible to copy and paste frames without keeping the
same variable names for pieces inside of those frames. something
like replication without duplication

How do I get back my edit functions, copy and paste, without doing a restore?

When I switched to Firefox 4 I no longer have the file, edit, etc. functions anywhere. I can't or don't know how to copy and paste websites to emails for instance without the edit functions.

I have checked the toolbar buttons and have MENU ticked, I went to the customize toolbar thing and added (by drag and drop) the cut copy and paste and other buttons I cant find now, and they showed up at first, then they disappeared. The top section seems terribly narrow now and I cant find any way to add the buttons underneath where they used to be...help!

Copy and past without tiem stamp

Why isn't this workin?
This doesn't work anymore.
In Skype
1. Go to Tools > Options > IM & SMS
2. Click “Show advanced options”
3. In “Pressing Ctrl+V will” select “Paste message as plain text”
4. Save

Yes, This is not working. It should of course be working. The ability to copy and paste is very important. We should be able to choose whether we want to paste with time-stamps, or past without time-stamps.
Just to give an example of a use - I am learning a foreign language via Skype. After the class, I would like to make a record of the significant points. During the lesson, I have noted them down on the messenging past of Skype. After the lesson I would like to copy and paste. But I cannot, because what is pasted is an enormous document which is mostly filled with junk, viz, my name, my company's name, and very many time-stamps. Producing a 'clean' version of the conversation would require a considerable labour of manual cleaning which, experience suggests, is impractical.
The evidence of an enormous popular demand for the copy and paste function is clear. Of course, I have no idea what technical obstacles have led to this function disappearing. But all we can do, as loyal Skype users, is to urge their engineers to take another look at this function, and see if it cannot be re-implemented.

How come when I copy and paste, my font is not carrying the shadow??

I am trying to edit a menu and when I copy and paste the script it does not carry over the shadowing. I am new to Adobe PS and I dont even know how to shade in the first place! Someone please guide me in the right direction! Thanks

Here's a handy thing: If you right-click on the layer in the Layers palette you can copy just the layer style, then right click on the layer in the destination image and paste the layer style.

Copy and paste help.

I am pretty new to this design thing, and I am running CS3.
I am basically trying to copy and paste from one photoshop doc to a new one to create textured prints.
I was able to do it once, and with the notes I took, I cannot figure it out on my own.
Everytime I paste my selection from the first doc to the next, there is a white border around my selection that shouldn't be there.
I am missing a step between flattening and unlocking the one layer in the first doc to the next doc.
Here's a screen shot that will probably explain this better than I can. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.
The new doc has the reddish background.
The far left doc is the one I cannot figure out how to edit in way where I can copy and paste without having that white border around my selection in the new one.
The middle one was done correctly, I just can't figure out what step I am missing.
What can I do to get the result I want?
Thanks.

Hi! Another simple way to accomplish what you want would be do use a Multiply blending mode. For example, in the far right document in your screenshot with the red background, you could select Layer 1, the pattern with the white border, and change the Blending Mode from Normal to Multiply in the Blending Modes drop-down. See the screenshots below.
A layer set to Multiply will only darken the layers below, so the white border copied with the texture would not show up over a red background. You can read more about the Multiply blending mode here: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-editing/layer-blend-modes/multiply/
Hope this helps!

[solved] icewm copy and paste (terminal)

copy and paste works perfectly between graphical programms (e.g. abiword and firefox). However if I mark something in xterm I can't copy and paste to another application, like an editor or abiword.
I don't have this problem in xfce: copy in the terminal and paste somewhere else works.
What can I do?

sorry, but I have a 2-button wheel mouse. I will search some more xsel details myself, thanks.
Edit: http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/softwar … el.1x.html Here they are.
I have replaced xterm by xfce-terminal. Now I can copy and paste without any problems.

How do I copy and paste images without a reduction in size?

I am working on a project where I want to include several jpeg images that are saved on my computer onto a new single 8.5x11 page in Photoshop. Even though the percentages are the same on both the images and the Photoshop page, when I copy and paste the images onto the page, the size of the images are greatly reduced (from 5" to 1".) I would greatly appreciate instruction on how to copy images and paste them on to a Photoshop page without the reduction in image size. I have accomplished this task previously and I had no problem. Is there a setting that I am unaware of that I need to change in order to proceed with the project as planned? Thank you for your time.

You are a genius! That's it. Thank you so much for taking the time to help...

Font changes size during copy and paste

How can you get photoshop to keep the same font size during copy and paste? For example, I copied text that was 14pt and it pasted as 16.44pt. I am copying and pasting text in the same photshop document. Thanks!

Then tell us more about your issue: is it the case for all files, does it happen for text lines, or paragraph text, inside the same text block...
What are the settings of the text tool?

Bug: Copying and pasting a htmlText ignores embed font???

- Adobe Flash Pro CS4
- Reproducible in Flash player 9 and 10
There seems to be a bug when copying a string value from a "htmlText" textfield and then pasting it in a standard "text" textField, and then adding that text back into the htmlText textField, which in turn no longer displays any new text.
For example:
1. Type "hello" in input textField, and press [Send] button
2. "hello" appears in the display textField (as htmlText)
3. From the display textField, copy the word "hello" and paste it into the input textField.
4. Press [Send]
5. Now, if embedFont was enabled and assuming that there is a ArialReg font class defined via library, the display textField does not show the 2nd "hello" message, and it no longer display anything new. This is because it was not able to show the text that was embedded as another font. You can tell this by turning off embedFont. Repeat steps 1-4, note that the 2nd "hello" font differs to the 1st "hello" font - which caused the bug as per above.
Source code (requires ArialReg and fl.controls.Button defined via Library):
//Copy and paste into your main timeline.
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.controls.Button;
var enableEmbed:Boolean = false;
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = new ArialReg().fontName;
format.bold = false
format.size = 12
format.color = 0x000000;
format.align = TextFormatAlign.LEFT
format.underline = false
var _chatBox:TextField = new TextField();
_chatBox.multiline = true;
_chatBox.selectable = true;
_chatBox.wordWrap = true;
_chatBox.multiline = true;
_chatBox.embedFonts = enableEmbed;
_chatBox.antiAliasType = "advanced";
_chatBox.tabEnabled = false;
_chatBox.mouseEnabled = true;
_chatBox.defaultTextFormat = format;
_chatBox.width = 260
_chatBox.height = 300
_chatBox.type = "dynamic";
_chatBox.x = 10;
_chatBox.y = 30;
_chatBox.mouseWheelEnabled = false
_chatBox.background = true;
_chatBox.border = true;
format = new TextFormat();
format.font = new ArialReg().fontName;
format.bold = false
format.size = 12
format.color = 0x000000;
format.align = TextFormatAlign.LEFT
format.underline = false
var _chatInput:TextField = new TextField();
_chatInput.multiline = true;
_chatInput.selectable = true;
_chatInput.wordWrap = true;
_chatInput.multiline = true;
_chatInput.embedFonts = enableEmbed;
_chatInput.antiAliasType = "advanced";
_chatInput.tabEnabled = false;
_chatInput.mouseEnabled = true;
_chatInput.defaultTextFormat = format;
_chatInput.width = 200;
_chatInput.height = 50;
_chatInput.type = "input";
_chatInput.x = 10;
_chatInput.y = _chatBox.y + _chatBox.height + 5;
_chatInput.mouseWheelEnabled = false;
_chatInput.background = true;
_chatInput.border = true;
var _chatSendBtn:Button = new Button();
_chatSendBtn.y = _chatInput.y;
_chatSendBtn.x = 215;
_chatSendBtn.width = 55
_chatSendBtn.height = _chatInput.height;
_chatSendBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onChatSendBtn);
_chatSendBtn.label = "Send";
this.addChild(_chatBox);
this.addChild(_chatInput);
this.addChild(_chatSendBtn);
function onChatSendBtn(mE:MouseEvent):void
    if (_chatInput.text != "")
        _chatBox.htmlText += _chatInput.text;
        _chatInput.text = "";

Note:
_chatBox.htmlText += _chatInput.text;
_chatBox.setTextFormat(format);
will resolve the problem, but it introduces another bug - Using setTextFormat does not allow bold and regular font for embedFonts for htmlText, however defaultTextFormat does. As I need both bold and regular font for the textField, I can't use that workflow.

How to copy and paste an object (i.e. a drawn polygon) without it automatically rotating in the pasted page?

In detail: I have a multiple page PDF for a construction project. We are using Adobe to mark the drawings up; the drawings have a set scale. In my scenario, I am highlighting a region of known data on the plan using a shaded polygon. I have another page that I need to compare that shaded region to that is at a different scale. I reprinted the differently scaled plan through Adobe at 200% size to match to the main document's scale (going from '1 inch = 40 feet' up to '1 inch = 20 feet'). That newly printed page was inserted into the document containing with the polygon. I then copied and pasted the polygon onto the new page. The polygon is automatically rotated 270 degrees.
The issue is why the polygon is rotating. The above information is just in case it matters. And, yes, sometimes this happens in other files as well, but not always.
Using Adobe Standard X (NOT Pro), version 10.1.9

Thank you Sukrit for responding.
The computer I am using is controlled by a government agency. They do not allow users to install or modify any software. The file I am using, though a public document, may not be advisable to be posted online.
However, my solution to the issue was to reprint the document that I was pasting into and modifying the print settings to rotate the PDF image. First, I had to change the size of the PDF beyond the original full size dimensions to account for the scale change. Then change the print settings to print landscape while telling adobe's advanced settings to print portrait. After some finesse with other settings for scale, I was able to copy and paste the polygon without loosing the scale. This took me a week to figure out. An extreme waste of time for such a simple issue that should not occur in such a popular software.

Cannot copy and paste or change font

I recently changed to a new PC and my Verizon email will not allow me to copy and paste or change the font size !!

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