Copy not-contiguous words

Hi out there,
if I select various, not-contiguous words in a text, I cannot copy them. Is it not possible, or is this a bug, or am I missing something?
Would be glad if someone could help me out.
best wishes
Jonathan

if you need to delete a non contiguous selection, you can try this:
- select what you need to select
- create a new character style from the selection
- go to Find & Replace
- click on the Advanced tab
- select your new character style in the "Style" menu
- replace your style with nothing or a space
Works great for sentence by sentence translations. Format everything (paragraph styles work better in this case) as "German" and "English" respectively. When you are done, select all uses of the source language and Find&Replace them by paragraphs or spaces -- you are done.

  • Is there a way to copy non-contiguous words from a PDF

    Is there a way to copy non-contiguous words from a PDF?  Is there a way to use a template or mask that will isolate certian areas to be copied with spaces in between the words so that when you go to paste the contents into multiiple fileds, the separate words will pop into the appropriate fileds.  The fields will be in a submission form.
    Please let me know if this is possible.
    Thanks

    No it's not.

    If the PDF page content is an image (for text that'd by the image that any scanner provides) then it is an image that exports to Word.
    Regardless, Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content, cannot create PDF and cannot manipulate PDF page content.
    Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer only.
    Perhaps you have a subscription to one of Adobe's online subscription services.
    (ExportPDF, PDF Pack, etc.)
    Each of the online subscription services have their own dedicated user-2-user forums.
    Easy find as there here in Adobe's Forums. Hmmm, just dumping somewhere means ... Ah well, won't go there. Miss Manners would not approve eh.

  • Preview won't paste from note to Word 2011

    Hi,
    so the problem is this: somehow I am not able to paste copied text to Word 2011. The trick though is that it's not siply text from PDF opened in Preview, in which case everything is fine, but the text I copy from note on PDF in Preview.
    Microsoft Word is for mac and everything works fine. The default paste option is changed to mach destination formatting.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi guys
    - No - the problem does not exist with PrntScr - I can paste in a whole screen, but not an copied image.  But can still paste a copied image into MS Paint.- is that a clue?
    - I will update the drivers
    - no Nik plugs
    Thanks guys

  • Copying text to word

    I have problems copying text from pdf to word. In the pdf document it looks fine, but after copying it to word i get spaces between letters that aren't there in the pdf file. Copy with formatting helps but work to slow, is there any other way to get this right?

    Using Acrobat XI or one of the online subscription services (ExportPDF or PDF Pack) export the PDF page content to TXT or RTF or DOC or DOCX.
    Then work with that. Yes, there will be cleanup -- does not matter how you approach the content migration expect to do cleanup.
    The alternative?
    Print to paper - now transcribe what is on paper into a new word processing file.
    Be well...

  • Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

    I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page.  When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
    I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone.  Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
    Any idea how to fix this?
    Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

    In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table.  The remaining pages are not printed.
    For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.pdf
    The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
    However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
    The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.

  • Copy text from Word '03 into RH9

    I need to copy text from Word into RH in a way that does not bring in the Word codes.  I can obviously copy the text into notepad and then into RH, but I am wondering if there is a way to do it that would be similar to the "Paste Special / Unformatted Text" command in Word? 
    We cannot have the word codes in RH because we translate our user manuals and then use the translated UM text to gain discounts when we translated the html help files.  These codes throw off the matching and cause us to gain hardly any discounts.  Even simple formatting, like a bolded word puts in the word codes into the html code. I made the mistake of thinking if I unbold the word in RH then everything is fine, but little did I know the Word code was still in the HTML. 
    I appreciate your help.
    Also, I am open to suggestions on a better way to get my Word text into RH to be help.  I've started looking into Importing and Linking, but haven't figured out if they would be all that beneficial to us.

  • I recently purchased my first Mac Book Pro and I copied all my Word documents from my old PC to a usb flash drive. How do I copy them to my new mac?

    I recently purchase my first Mac Book Pro. I copied all my Word documents from my old PC to a USB flash drive with the intention of downloading the content into my new computer. I installed Word for Mac previously. I can not figure out how to download the content of the flash drive into the Mac. Probably very simple but obviously I am a new user. Any suggestions?

    Drag them from the drive to the Documents item in the Finder's sidebar.

    Yes, that's why I recommend one have more than TimeMachine as a backup because if certain files or folders are corrupted on the TM drive, your not logging into your migrated user account or not be able to transfer it what so ever.
    Then it's a REAL PAIN and costs $99 to bit read the TM drive to get the files out, then it's mess to go through and sort all the empty placeholders from the real files as TM doesn't save duplicates in each state, just uses the previous state's copy if there are no changes.
    If you create the same named user account on the new machine, and simply transfer files via a USB thumb drive and place say music contents into the Music folder, then it will work too.
    Look into making clones of your boot drive, the benefit here is it's bootable, you can access the drive directly to pick and choose files, run the computer just like before etc.

  • My client asks ... can we generate a PDF not via Word...?

    Using: RH HTML 7.0.3.
    Hi all,
    A client has invested time into developing a good CSS style sheet and RoboHelp template for creating a nice looking CHM HTML Help. My client wants to find a way of creating a nice looking PDF document without investing more time in developing a good Word template for export to PDF.
    The client asked me what seems to me to be a dumb question about PDF generation. Is there such a thing as generating a PDF not via Word? - (Whatever that means.) My client seems to think there is a way. But since my client asked, I have to ask you all...
    I tried out the quick way of simply clicking on the PDF icon, and seeing what happens. So RH generated for me a PDF, without asking me for any more info. The Output logger showed clearly that RH was first creating a *Word file*. And sure enough when I looked in its target folder I saw there was also a *Word doc* there, completed a minute earlier. A definite sign, I think, that RH first created the Word doc and then from it created the PDF. (Btw, I don't know where RH got the TOC from for this PDF generation - it seems like a ghost of the TOC I used months ago.) 
    Then I tried using the Generate wizard from the Single Source Layouts pod. One of the stages of this wizard prompts you to select a template, including any *Word templates* you have fed RH in the past. Again a good sign, IMO, that the initial process for making a PDF is the same as for making a Word doc.
    Over to you all.
    TIA
    avraham

    RH has to create a Word document but if you deselect the Word check box, it is not saved. What you saw was probably an old document. Delete it and publish just a PDF and you should not be able to see the temporary Word document that is created.
    In the wizard you don't have to select a Word template, that is just one of the options.
    The content of the print layout is not related to your TOC. It takes the content of a TOC when you first create the print layout but then the two are standalone. You might not want the print layout to be the same as the TOC. If you do, use the arrows to clear the content and then replace it with the current TOC.
    This is covered in Printed Documents on my site.

    I had recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 and thus had to re download Adobe Digital Editions.
