Copy and pasting a graph

I'm trying to copy and paste a graph into InDesign and when I do it won't paste the legend. What am I doing wrong?

Tim,
Grouping before Copying will keep the spatial relationships intact. Copying one part and then the other will allow flexibility in cases where the receiving document can't ungroup.
Not sure if it's a Numbers problem or a compatibility issue - within the Apple regime and elsewhere.
Here's what I've found for Copying with both objects Selected:
o Pasting into Keynote is problem-free.
o Pasting into Pages, Legend moves to above Chart, unless Grouped
o Pasting into Preview, Legend is lost unless Grouped.
o Pasting into Word/Powerpoint 2004, a big mess (with or without grouping).
My personal habit is to isolate the Chart elements on a separate Page of the Sheet and Print Sheet to PDF. If the ultimate Application is one that doesn't like PDF, use Preview to translate. This may be slower than Grouping and Copy/Pasting into a new Preview (or other) doc, But I feel I have more compositional control this way.
My five cents,
Jerry

  • Indesign CS4 - copy and paste issue

    Hello,
    I just installed Indesign CS4 on a Mac 10.5.5 system and I am using Microsoft Word 2004 with the software.
    The issue is when I copy and paste a graph or a clipart from Word 2004, I can paste the copied image in the INDD document. When I try to copy a second graph or image, Indesign will paste the original image.
    I thought that clipboard may have been the issue and restarted the computer to empty the clipboard. Again, the same issue happens when I copied an image and the program somehow locks into that image.
    Also, as soon as the graph/clipart is pasted in the indesign document, somehow, it becomes a link which should not be case if you are simply copying and pasting.
    Here are some troubleshooting I tried:
    - I trashed the preferences folder from the library folder
    - created a new user account wiht admin priveleges
    - restarted mac in safe boot
    - created a new indesign document and a word document
    Any thoughts?

    I am attempting to place images which I am using within a mailer onto the web.
    I am copying the images from InDesign into Photoshop and getting the same issues. If I close Indesign and re-open it I can copy 1 set of images, but when I attempt a second it places the images I copied originally into the shapes of the second images.
    Any clues on how to solve this issue?

  • Hp prime Copy and pasting problems

    Does any one know why the HP prime copy and paste function does not work properly. For example when I copy and past form the spreadsheet to the statistics 1 var app nothing happens. Perhaps there is a work around that will allow me to avoid this problem or another firmware that I can download.
    Please note that i am using Software version: 2015 6 17 (8151)
    Hardware Version: A
    CAS Version: 1.1.2-11
    Operating System: 4CY35605VB I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong, however I should point out that when I copy from statistic 1 or 2 Var apps and paste to the spreadsheet app that everything works fine. The problem persists when when I reverse the direction, and copy from the spreadsheet and paste to the statistics 1 or 2 Var apps. I should also note that this problem does not occur with the HP Prime emulator.

  • Hi, I was trying to copy and paste a lot of  info for one day on my calendar to another day and an error message popped up saying that the system responded with an error. Msg won't go away I force quit ical

    Need help for trying to unfreeze a message on my ical.  I was trying to copy and paste some appointment info from one day to another on my ical and a message popped up saying the system responded with an error.  All of my info was below the message.  I can't get that message to go away or work on the ical now at all.  I try to force quit ical and have shut down the computer and it still comes up.  Any suggestions?

    K,
    Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, if you are using Lion, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
    Next, make sure that you are not connected to the internet. Then to to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.

  • HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup.  I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out.  I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it.  All I need are my contact

    Sorry for short novel I am writing.  I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
    So, here it goes.  I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie.  The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty.  A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup.  The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie.  I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore.  So I attempted another restore.  All was well at this point.  I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source.  A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer.  I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes.  Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh).  Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck.  The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine).  We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive.  Ok, this is where it gets weird.  We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files.  Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought.  The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders.  When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored).  This left tech support and I both scratching our heads.  My service issue was escalated to the next level.  I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through.  As usual, apple disappoints again.  I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s.  I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files.  Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

  • [b]HOW TO:[/b]  Copy and Paste THE Filename AND its PATH from Finder

    HOW TO DO THIS: Copy and Paste THE selected Filename AND its entire PATH from Finder to another application as in document footer reference, or document database which has a path field to aid in locating the file later.
    Finder, Spotlight and File Info (can be used to display Path) or using Command F, command I, etc. but user is not allowed to copy the path to clipboard.
    This is rudimentary, yet the word Path, is unknown to Mac Help.

    AJ,
    Isn't it amazing....There is no Command Key for this action? Apple Care was confounded too. And thanx, it'll be a help....
    Jim
    its tedious, but this should work:
    open a terminal window.
    Drag and drop the icon for the file in the terminal
    window.
    This will put the full path including the filename on
    the command line.
    Copy the path from the command line, and paste
    (wherever).
    Close the terminal window.

  • I have a document that in Word required a password to open. I copied and pasted it to Pages. Put the password protection on. Now if I click on that filename in Finder it automatically opens.Why. Anyone can read it. How do I protect it again?

    You saved it after setting the Password? :
    Inspector > Document > Document > Require Password to Open
    I just tested it and it shows up ijn The Finder with a padlock on the file icon and does require a password to open.

  • Cannot copy and paste descriptions in PDF Portfolio

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 on a Windows 7 laptop.  Since a recent update I am unable to copy the description in a PDF Portfolio and paste it back.  I used to be able to copy the description; delete the file; add an updated file and then paste the description back.  Now I have to re-type the description.  I cannot event copy and paste a description from another PDF portfolio.  Can you advise why this is so and is there a workaround?

    Adobe does not report the progress of bug reports to the public, nor can I comment on the timescale for any future updates or what they may contain. Priority is of course given to the current Acrobat X Family and recently-announced Acrobat XI Family.
    Copy/paste between all the file details fields in PDF Portfolios is fully functional in Acrobat X Pro (which currently has a captive install of Flash Player) and in Acrobat XI Pro (which does not). I don't have an install of 9.5.1 to test your bug report against, but whatever is causing the issue in your case it's not an intentional change.

  • Acrobat XI Windows 7 - unable to (copy and) paste form fields to a different pdf.

    To maintain a consistent appearance and function in the forms I create for various departments, I copy a few form fields  (text, checkboxes) from an unrelated Acrobat PDF. Then I paste those fields into a different PDF document that I am making fillable.
    I do this because Acrobat does not allow setting a default for certain attributes when creating form fields, i.e. an unchecked scroll option, a default font other than Helvetica (in Acrobat 8, 9, and X). Plus it is time-saving to copy and paste fields that are the same in another PDF, like name, address, phone. etc.
    We just updated to Acrobat XI and Windows 7 and now I cannot paste copied fields onto a different PDF.
    Using "replace pages" is not applicable as I am pasting to an entirely different form and copying form fields with the settings I use. 
    Is this a glitch or is something new that was not in Acrobat 8, 9, and X?
    Also, question regarding this forum entry -  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5638333#5638333 - which is somewhat different from my current question.
    The PDF creator could not paste copied fields on other pages of the same PDF. Was this ever resolved so that copy and paste worked as it has for the last 3 versions of Acrobat?
    Thanks!
    Joanie

    Gilad:  You're right: when the fields are different, such as a checkbox and a text field, and you try to title them the same, Acrobat gives you a message. I received no messages, the field names are not the same or I missed one and Acrobat is no longer messaging about it.
    My question is different. Acrobat XI will not let me paste any field copied from a different PDF.  I've been doing that for 5 years in three different versions.  Maybe Acrobat XI has a new process for that, which I could not find in Acrobat help. Maybe it's because all forms now have extended rights automatically in Acrobat XI and there is another method to copy common fields to other PDFs.
    Any thoughts about the new Acrobat XI? It's different in many good ways, but different.
    Thanks for your ideas.

  • Anchor tag error, also copy and pasting text comes up "null"

    After the recent update I am receiving anchor tag errors telling me to start with an alphabetic letter, which I was. Also no longer lets me copy and paste text onto a page, instead it says "null". Any ideas on a fix ?

    I don't see a closing </body> tag in your code.  There's an opening tag, but no closing tag, hence unbalanced.

  • How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

    How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

      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.

  • Copying and pasting from Adobe Photoshop CS4

    Does anyone know how you can copy and paste text that you enter in "Description" in the "File Info" section of a jpg file across to other applications. It would save me countless duplication of having to write the description on emails to which I attach jpgs. When I try to copy it and paste the options in photoshop are greyed out and inaccessible. Thanks.

    Regular copying via command-C should still work.

  • Problem with Copy and Paste in Edit

    Today i cannot get Copy and Paste to operate. After highlighting a link in blue I cannot get the Copy to register. The link stays blue and does not respond to Copy click. I send links on Yahoo IM to friends of sites or Youtube videos. Thanx for the great help here!

    I'm glad that is working again. Copy and Paste is such a fundamental operation, a computer is useless without it.
    By the way have you had a look at Mac 101 Essentials? At the bottom of that page are further link. Just thought it might be useful to you as you are new to Apple Macs.
    Happy computing.

  • Problem with copying and pasting text blocks in Fireworks CS5

    Until recently when I copied and pasted a text block in Fireworks CS5, the block would retain all formatting applied to the copied text block, font, size, color, etc. Now, the pasted block reverts to some default setting. Oddly, if I copy multiple text blocks, the formatting is retained as expected, but not if I copy a single text block. I cannot find a preference that affects this, and I cannot figure out what might have changed. The current behaviour is definitely not desired, and is dramatically affecting my efficiency. Anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas how to correct this? Thanks.

    Sure, thanks for replying so quickly. My workflow is simple. My problem is limited to copying and pasting within Fireworks. I typically select an entire block with the main selection arrow but I sometimes use this one too depending on the context. I usually just use the keyboard CTRL-C then CTRL-V to paste. Previously (and I have been using FW for years, it's always been the same) it would paste an identical text block directly over the top of the copied one, and it looked exactly the same, same font, same color, etc. Now, it pastes a new block in the center of the document and all the formatting has reverted to what I guess is the default, in this case Myriad Pro 12pt. The behavior is the same no matter which arrow I use to select the text block. I tried Edit>Copy and Edit>Paste, the effect was the same. The Duplicate function seems to work as desired, but I had never noticed or tried that command before reading your post. Using the keyboard to copy/paste is such an ingrained habit I'd much prefer to continue using it as I always have instead of trying to retrain myself. (I'm old, retraining is hard!)
    (Selected block)
    (pasted block)
    Most often I copy and paste directly on the canvas, but occasionally will do it within the layers panel. Both now have the same undesired effect. I also tried creating a new document to see if it was a corruption in my current file, but the issue persisted to the new document as well.
    Thanks.
