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.

  • I have been backing up my photos to an external hard drive. I usually choose the photos, copy and paste them to the EHD. It has started saying "an item named "unnamed.jpg" already exists in this location. I don't know what to do.

    I have the MacBook OS X 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB. I have been backing up my photos to an external hard drive since I purchased it. I usually choose the photos, copy and paste them to the EHD. It has started saying "an item named "unnamed.jpg" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving? Don't replace/Stop/Replace". I don't know what to do.

    Thanks Jim, I kind of thought that was the answer, but was hoping against hope that I was just missing something. Like I said, it's not a big problem. One work around I've found is to name a folder on the external hard drive the same as the name I give the folder to import to and then choose this folder to back up to. I still get a subfolder inside that folder named Imported on...... but at least it's in the folder with my chosen name.
    Thanks again,
    Jack

  • Before, when reading PDF files, I was able to copy and paste part of the book. Now it is not possible. I can copy but when pasting gets nothing.  Antes, quando lia arquivos PDF, eu conseguia copiar e colar parte do livro. Agora isso não é possível.

    Caro Fabiano,
    Obrigado por ter contactado as Comunidades de Suporte Apple.
    Na origem do seu problema podem estar várias causas. Nomeadamente:
    O ficheiro (arquivo) que está a ler pode não ser texto, ou seja, pode ser texto transformado em imagem e exportado como PDF.
    A aplicação de destino (onde está a tentar colar o texto copiado) pode não aceitar a colagem de texto formatado.
    A aplicação que está a utilizar para abrir os ficheiros PDF pode não ser indicada para certo tipo de documentos. Experimente o iBooks, o Dropbox ou até mesmo o seu e-mail.
    No caso de nenhuma destas causas estar na origem do seu problema, forneça, por favor, mais informações sobre a origem do ficheiro (descarga pelo Safari, Mail ou outro) bem como o destino (documento Pages, Keynote ou Numbers ou outra aplicação que não o iWork).
    Atentamente,
    Gonçalo Matos

  • 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.

  • How can I copy and paste events in the calendar?

    Does anyone know how to cut and paste or copy and past events in the calendar?  The events happen at different times and on different days so I can't just "repeat".  Thanks in advance!

    Ignore MJG196 post.
    In Calendar, tap the event, tap Edit, then change the Starts date you want the event to move to.

  • 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??

  • HT5569 Is there a way to store a wi-fi password on an iPad and then copy and paste it into the proper space when you want to connect to your password protected network?  (the password is 31 random characters)

    Is there a way to store a wi-fi password on an ipad and then copy and paste it into the proper space when you want to connect to your password proctected newwor?  (the password is 31 random characters)

    Yes, if both the Mac and iPad are setup using the same iCloud account, then any notes you enter on the Mac will be synced across to the iPad almost instantly.
    Same occurs with the 1Password app I mentioned. If you have both the Mac and iPad versions of it, and setup either iCloud or Dropbox syncing, any passwords entered on the Mac will be synced to the app running on the iPad ready for copying and pasting. This would be the most secure method, but not the cheapest.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • I use Acrobat to convert firefox pages to pdf and with firefox4 I need to be able to copy and pasted text from the pdf and no longer can.

    With the prior version of Firefox I could convert web pages (financial data) to pdf for maintaining historical files. And then with the pdf, I was able to copy and paste the numbers into Excel. With Firefox4, I can convert to pdf with Acrobat but I cannot access the numbers for copying and pasting as text, only as a picture. While I prefer Firefox, I check to see if this problem recently started with the "other" company's web browser and did not have this problem. So, it is not Acrobat.

    HI djlarp,
    Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
    If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
    Best,
    Sara

  • 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

  • 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.
