Copy and Pasted Items Open Original File

How can I stop items that were copy and pasted from one document to another to stop opening the original (copied from) file when selected in the new (pasted into) file?

InDesign works different than other programs you may be used to, which is causing your problem.
When you want to include a graphic, don't copy it and paste it into InDesign. In general, that will produce a low-resolution copy. Instead, choose File > Place, and navigate to the graphic you want to include on your hard drive, and place it. That creates a link to the external graphic. You'll be able to view the link in the Links panel (Window > Links).
It would also be better to create a new text frame with the Type tool, and paste content into it; or to choose File > Place to place an external file, like a Word document.

  • Can I simply copy and paste an existing library file from XP to a Mac and then copy and paste the music files themselves? Of course, the music files will be in a different location...

    Hello Gurus,
    I have an aged XP machine with a large music library in ITunes. iTunes will not run any longer (tried uninstalling and reinstalling etc to no avail) but the music files are backed up onto an external drive so all safe. I have purchased a Mac which of course already has iTunes installed and I can copy the music files onto the Mac, but can I simply copy and paste the iTunes library files from the XP machine to the Mac so that all of the playlists, tags, ratings etc transfer, or do I have to start again?
    Thanks for the advice.

    Sounds like you have a split library. Ideally you would make this portable before attempting to move it to the Mac. See make a split library portable for details.
    Perhaps you can get iTunes running on the old box long enough to sort things out...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    You will also want to deauthorize the XP system once everything is working properly on the Mac.

  • Copy and Pasting Layers between .FLA files?

    Can I either Cut or Copy and paste a layer from A.fla to
    B.fla (one Flash file to another)?
    F.z.

    I too would like to know the answer to this question. I recently purchased what I was supposed to be a component. I turned it to be a .fla file. I need to get the contents (MCs, Buttons, Actionscript, etc.) into an existing file. It is a button that is designed to toggle the sound on and off. I would like to use in my existing home page .fla, but can't seem to even copy the elements over one by one. Any ideas?

  • In,Tunes,12,,Windows,7--I,can't,copy,and,past,artwork,in,music,files....Help,any one?

    I just want to copy and paste artwork in my music files that I have modified.  The Shift, right click on the file, and Get Info doesn't work with iTunes 12.
    Does anyone know a work around for this?

    I always advise my Contribute clients to "scrub" any Microsoft text before pasting it. You might be able to do this by changing the doc to .txt?  Hopefully that would get rid of the layout code embedded in a doc or docx document.
    However, since I don't trust anything Microsoft seems to have excess code attached, I first put it into Text Edit on my Mac and save it. Not sure what the equivalent program is on Windows. I think an email program could work just as well, Twigman. You might ask your tech how to save the MS doc so it has no code, like pure ascii text. That way, they will not have to leave Word to scrub the old code out.

  • Burning DVD, can't drag or copy and paste items, all I get is an alias -mbp

    Hi all
    Just upgraded to Leopard, am I being dumb?
    When I drag items to a blank DVD or copy from the HD and paste to the DVD all I get is an alias version of the files??
    I have found if I hold down "alt" it copies the actual files... is there a way of swapping this as who wants to burn a disc of alias's??
    Az
    PS Merry Christmas!

    Actually ever since Tiger there has been a change to "burn folders" which show an alias when you drag items to a mounted blank disk. Prior to Tiger the system would indeed make a copy of items to be burned, then after burning you recovered the disk space. Starting with Tiger this was changed, the alias is used and when you burn the disk the system uses the alias and burns the original to the disk. The only thing to be aware of that can cause a problem is if you find you have more "stuff" in the burn folder than space on the blank disk, and open the alias in the burn folder to trash some files--you are, of course, trashing your originals. So don't do that! Move some stuff to the Desktop or another folder to reduce the size.

  • Copy and paste item from Symbol

    hello
    in illustrator cs4, when i go into Symbol isolation mode and i try to copy an object from within said symbol, it copies everything in the symbol. is this a known issue? is there any way around it?
    i'm on mac os 10.5

    it makes no difference. i've used both. selecting text while in text edit mode does the same thing. if i have several bodies of text inside the symbol, and i go inside the symbol, then select a portion of text from a line of text, all the other bodies of text plus the vector art will be copied too. 

  • Since my Firefox updated today, I can't copy and paste, or open link in new tab. So, what can I do to fix this?

    I have windows on a desktop computer.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
    *If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
    *Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

  • How do I copy and paste text from a pdf file and paste it into a new pdf or word file?

    I have a very large pdf file (500 pages) comprised of 200 letters.  How do I copy individual letters (copy and paste sections of the file) and put them in a new pdf or word file?
    Thank you

    Hi drredwood,
    When you open your PDF file a yellow bar will appear on the top of the screen.
    Click on 'Enable All Features'.
    Then you will be able to copy the content from your pdf and to paste in any of the file.

  • (CS4) Copy and paste video/sound into another project, sound won't export

    Hello Adobe community
    I am working on a TV show for a community television network in Australia.  I created the opening credits in a seperate project to the edited footage of the show, because my computer is struggling with the size of all the files. So I have two project files. Recently I copied and pasted the edited footage of the show into the project where I have the opening credits (by highlighting all the footage, right clicking and going to copy, then opening the Project with the credits sequence, right clicking and selecting paste). This seems to work. I can hear the sound and continue tweaking and editing. However, when I  export the project, the sound from the footage I have copied into the project can't be heard. I can hear the sound from the credit sequence, but not the sound that has been copied into the project (although on the timeline of the project, I can hear the sound... This problem only presents itself after export).
    I have tried doing the opposite... Copying and pasting the opening credit sequence into the project with the edited footage, and I get the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter which file type I export as. I have tried .AVI and .MPEG2, with the same results.
    I am using Windows 7 64bit version, and Premiere CS4. I have a mixture of .MTS, .WAV and .MP3 audio files in the footage that I copy and paste across. None of them are exporting.
    I have tried moving the copied and pasted audio files on to the same audio tracks as the sound already in the project, but this doesn't work either. The original sound will export, then when it gets to the copied and pasted sound nothing can be heard.
    I have included some screen shots to illustrate the problem below. If you have any questions please let me know.
    Thanks for your time! I have a looming deadline so your help is much appreciated.
    -Robert

    Thanks for your replies everyone. Sounds like cut and paste is not an option. Wow, I didn't realise how much trouble I'd be causing for myself by having different parts of the show in different projects.
    I am reluctant to export the project then import it into another project, because I do not want to lose quality through compression as Ann suggests.I don't know what you  mean, Ann, when you say "Dont think CS4 could import single sequence (forgot)."? Jim, I'm also unsure what you mean when you say "That's what UT is for"?
    However, I went to File/Import/Import Entire Project, and imported the project this way. Then I dragged the little folder icon that appeared in the top left hand corner of the screen onto the timeline. However, when I did this, a few problems occured. Firstly, the original project had footage and audio on many different tracks, but when I imported the project nearly all of the video and audio was on to the one track. Secondly, instead of going for 10 minutes, the imported footage went for a few hours. Thirdly, the sound and images were all out of sync. I have included two images to illustrate this problem:
    Above is the original project. As you can see, I have audio and video on many different tracks, and lots of cuts.
    This is what the project looked like after I had imported it into another project. Nearly everything is on one track, the footage goes for a few hours now (instead of 10 minutes) and the video and sound are all out of sink.
    Then I tried File/Import/Import Selected Sequence. The only sequence I had the option of importing was Sequence 1. I did this, then dragged the folder icon onto the timeline, and I had a similar problem to before. Everything on one track, footage out of sync and going for a few hours.
    Is there a way to import a project and maintain all of the editing (the cuts, the multiple tracks, etc.) as they are in the original? I have spent many hours editing both the footage and the opening credits, so I really don't want to lose all this work when I import one into the other. The good thing about copy and paste is that it maintains all of the original cuts and editing. Shame it is so unreliable.
    Thanks heaps for all your help!

  • Since downloading 29.0.1 I can no longer cut, copy and paste. So frustrating!!!

    I often copy and paste items into website forums with no problem. However, since I upgraded to 29.0.1 I can no longer do that and it's so frustrating. I have tried doing the extra steps of clicking on your copy and paste items but that doesn't help. I even tried uploading the AllowClipboard Helper but that didn't work either. I never needed that add-on in the past.
    This is ridiculous.
    How do I revert back to version 28? It worked fine but you just had to go ahead and "fix" it and I hate the new version. I was able to download the Classic Theme Restorer which helped a lot but some things I could not make like the version 28.

    karen,
    You don't need that user.js file any longer for those cut, copy, and paste preferences.
    There is a Classic Theme Restorer support thread over here. <br />

  • How to cut, copy and paste a tree node in JTree?????

    Hi, Java GUI guru. Thank you for your help in advance.
    I am working on a File Explorer project with JTree. There are cut, copy and paste item menus in my menu bar. I need three EventAction methods or classes to implements the three tasks. I tried to use Clipboard to copy and paste tree node. But I can not copy any tree node from my tree.
    Are there any body has sample source code about cut, copy, and paste for tree? If possible, would you mind send me your sample source code to [email protected]
    I would appreciate you very very much for your help!!!!

    Hi, Paul Clapham:
    Thank you for your quick answer.
    I store the node in a DefaultMutableTreeNode variable, and assign it to another DefaultMutableTreeNode variable. I set up two classes (CopyNode and PasteNode). Here they are as follows:
    //CopyNode class
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.tree.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    public class CopyNode implements ActionListener{
    private TreeList jtree;
    String treeNodeName;
    TreePath currentSelection;
    DefaultMutableTreeNode currentNode;
    public CopyNode(TreeList t){
    jtree = t;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    currentSelection = jtree.tree.getSelectionPath();
    if(currentSelection != null){
    currentNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)(currentSelection.getLastPathComponent());
    treeNodeName = currentNode.toString();
    //PasteNode class
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.tree.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    public class PasteNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode{
    private TreeList jtree;
    CopyNode copyNode;
    public PasteNode(TreeList t){
    jtree = t;
    copyNode = new CopyNode(t);
    public DefaultMutableTreeNode addObject(Object child){
    DefaultMutableTreeNode parentNode = null;
    TreePath parentPath = jtree.tree.getSelectionPath();
    if(parentPath == null){
    parentNode = jtree.root;
    else{
    parentNode = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)parentPath.getLastPathComponent();
    return addObject(parentNode, child, true);
    public DefaultMutableTreeNode addObject(DefaultMutableTreeNode parent, Object child, boolean shouldBeVisible){
    DefaultMutableTreeNode childNode = copyNode.currentNode;
    if(parent == null){
    parent = jtree.root;
    jtree.treemodel.insertNodeInto(childNode, parent, parent.getChildCount());
    if(shouldBeVisible){
    jtree.tree.scrollPathToVisible(new TreePath(childNode.getPath()));
    return childNode;
    I used these two classes objects in "actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)" methods in my tree:
    //invoke copyNode
    copyItem = new JMenuItem("Copy");
    copyItem.addActionListener(copyNode);
    //invoke pasteNode
    pasteItem = new JMenuItem("Paste");
    pasteItem.addActionListener(
    new ActionListener(){
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    pasteName.addObject(copyName.treeNodeName);
    When I run the drive code, making a copy some node from my tree list, I got bunch of error messages.
    Can you figour out what is wrong in my two classes? If you have sample code, would you mind mail me for reference.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • Mini Bridge using copy and paste

    I currently have CS5 extended installed on a desktop (xp 32 bit) and a laptop (Win7 64 bit) all files are up to date. When I start Photoshop create a new file, start mini bridge to select the file I want to copy and paste into my new file. I select the file,it opens in Photoshop I press these key strokes (control-A; control-C), move to the file to be copied to and press control-V. The file may or may not be copied. Even pressing control-V several times. You can press edit; paste and still nothing happens. But press edit; paste special; the file will be copied into the file.  If the file is copied on the first try go back and select a different file and repeat the process. To get the file pasted into the document I; created a new layer; control-V; file is copied to a layer.  If I create a new layer then turn off this layer press: control-V the file can also be copied to a layer.  All of the above is when I start mini bridge to navigate to the files. 
    Now close Photoshop and Bridge.  Restart Photoshop start Big Bridge (not mini bridge)! Create a new file; use Big Bridge to navigate to the file you want to copy into the new document, files opens into Photoshop enter the keyboard short cut or tool bar to select the file, copy the file. Now switch to the file to be pasted into  press;control-V or select; file; paste; now everything's works.  Try this process with different files to be pasted into the new document and it works flawless every time.
    The above problem is present on both computers.  My question is has anyone seen this or am I the only one?  I stumbled on this a couple of days ago, sure I can work around this using Big Bridge. 
    Thanks in advance for your replys.

    It seems as though the window is losing focus. If after you Ctrl+C, switch over to the other document and then press the enter key twice or switch tools or click on the document window (with the move tool), then it seems to paste.

  • Inherited metadata during copy and paste

    We maintain a large DAM of product images with extensive metadata applied (model numbers, size, color, origin, usage rights etc.) Often these individual product images are combined into a single "family" shot. But when you copy and paste from one photoshop file into another, the metadata does not carry along with it. Is there any way to allow for parent/child metadata relationships?

    oh boy
    I had the same issue with my E250 on Solaris 2.7
    running on Raptor card.
    what is the patch level u are using? .
    I had occassions were I had to upgrade my E250 box
    with Solaris 2.8 10/00 version and from the time i did
    that things are absolutely fine and one thing i would
    suggest is instead of double clicking your Sun Mouse
    button try using "Copy" > "Paste" tabs u will find
    on ur CDE terminal that should not freeze ur box
    Good luck

  • Copy and paste from pdf to powerpoint

    i have a seriously annoying issue >>> whenever i copy and paste from a pdf file to powerpoint , the test (which originally in onesentence) get divided to many bullets!!!! thats require so much time to fix . is ther any way to avoid this and get my text as one ???? thanx

    It's a limitation of PowerPoint - any line breaks in the pasted text will be converted into a bullet point when pasting into a the standard slide layouts, which apply bullets to the text content by default. You can't avoid copying the line breaks as they're present in the original text, so you need to remove them by hand after pasting.
