Copy, Paste and Text Formatting

If I copy text from another application, then paste it into a
Fireworks textbox, it replaces the Fireworks formatting with the
formatting from the previous application. I'm looking for something
along the lines of the "paste and match style" function found in
most Apple programs. Also, if I copy text *from* Fireworks, then
paste it into another application, it shows up as an image, not
text.
Any way around these problems? (At least they're problems for
me.)
I've been using FW since it was originally released, and I
don't recall these problems in previous versions. I don't have any
earlier versions installed, however, so I can't be sure.

Open the text in the text editor (Text > Editor) and copy
and paste it
from there. You can also paste text into the text editor to
remove
formatting from other software.

I'm in trouble with copy paste some text from Word to DW mx 2004

I'am a new developer in webdesign. I'm doing my first site to
a cliente. I'm in trouble with copy paste some text from Word to DW
mx 2004. In the Edit / Preferences / General category i have the
spelling dictionary in Portuguese (Brasilian). If I wrote the text
in Portuguese directly from DW i can see the letters with ( ç
ã é ... ) and in the browser testing ( IE 6.0.2 with sp2
and FireFox 1.0.7 ), but with copy paste from the text in Word in
Portuguese when i bring it to DW i can see the ( ç ã
é ... ) in the beginnig but in the Browsers testing i can't,
and then after a while i lose the ( ç ã o ...). Can
anyone help me !?
I need the work finish in next monday. Thanks a lot.

Your line breaks will most likely be incorrect if you don't turn on the Japanese Composer.
It is almost absolutely impossible to accomplish your goal without having a font - any font - installed on your system that has that glyph. However, if it's showing up in Word, than means that you must have that glyph installed, right? What font are you trying to use in InDesign? You might already know that Word will auto-substitute fonts when it encounters a missing glyph, so we really don't know what font is being used to render that one glyph. The whole sentence might be in MS Mincho but one glyph might be pulled from another font if MS Mincho doesn't have that glyph.
That being said, you're going to break it if you don't know how to set Japanese type in ID. It's not something where you can just copy text out of email and paste into your English layout.

Copy/paste and drag/drop not working in Mt. Lion

After two weeks of searching, I can not find the hangup which is causing my iMac 27" 10.8 to stop copy/paste and drag/drop following successfully doing the same shortly after startup. In Safe Mode, it doesn't happen, so I'm wondering how to track down this problem (extension?). I have to restart in order to get it functioning again after a short time of working. There has to be some kind of timing, like a program installed with a time limit which probably was forgotten in Lion and then reared its ugly head in Mt. Lion. Any suggestions for tracking this puppy? Or is there a program I could buy to do so?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

How do I reinstall the edit button on my Firefox 4 toolbar; cut, copy, paste, and print?

I recently have been having problems with my Firefox 4 tool bars. Right now, the Edit icons are no longer on the tool bar, specifically Cut, Copy, Paste, and Print. If there were other Edit icons, they too are gone. All the other icons have remained.
I would appreciate it if you could advise me how to reinstall those specific icons.
Also recently, ALL my tool bars, and task and status bar disappeared. This was only in Firefox 4.0; IE 8 was not affected. Clicking F11 did not work. I could not function without them. Then, a short time later, they "automatically" reappeared. I have not idea of why the disappeared or reappeared.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Sanford A. Berman

You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut buttons next to Firefox > Edit (and in its sub menu) and in the regular Edit menu on the menu bar (press F10 if the menu bar is hidden).
The buttons next to Firefox > Edit are enabled if there is something to do with them, just like with the toolbar buttons.
You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut toolbar buttons in the toolbar palette in the Customize window and drag them on a toolbar.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

JList & cut/copy/paste and focus

I have a JFrame with a typical edit menu (cut/copy/paste) and also a JList. I have hooked up the menus such that cut copy paste 'do the right thing' in regards to the current selection of the JList. However, if the JList has focus and i keyboard ctrl-x for instance, it looks like the JList is grabbing and handling the cut, as opposed to my menu code. How do I get the JList to ignore the keyboard when it has focus, or do I install my handlers in the JList somehow?

Thanks for the response. This area really smells to me. Which I infer means i don't really understand this area, otherwise it wouldn't be so wretched.
For instance the default cut action on a JList, doesn't seem to do anything, while the copy works correctly.
So why would you ever use the default actions? I guess i can install my menu actions in the JList, just seems badly designed... so am i wrong?
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class MyJListFrame extends JFrame
     public static void main(String[] args)
          MyJListFrame f = new MyJListFrame();
          f.setVisible(true);
     public MyJListFrame()
          Container cp = getContentPane();
          DefaultListModel dtm = new DefaultListModel()
          {{addElement("This");addElement("is");addElement("a");addElement("test");}};
          cp.add( new JList( dtm ));
          pack();

How to copy/paste anchor text box to its anchor point in text and delete all empty anchors?

hi all
i have a document of few pages but one story. The right column is the main text box and on many places anchored text boxes are placed which appeared on the left column as shown below.
i want text of each anchor-text-box to be cut from its place and paste at its insertion/anchor point and delete all empty anchored boxes.
I am trying since morning but i unable to reach anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be helpful.
virender

Ok, let's say you have one main text box (not anchored) and three text boxes that are anchored to text within it. The first one is anchored with text, the second one is unanchored, and the third one is empty (I'm not going to get into inline anchoring vs. custom anchoring since you didn't bring it up in your post).
We cycle through the items on the page:
function main(){
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
    var myPage = myPages[i];
    //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.
    if (myPage.isValid == false) continue;
    if (myPage.parent instanceof MasterSpread) continue;
    var myItems = myPage.allPageItems;
    for (var j = 0; j < myItems.length; j++){
      //Current item.
      var myItem = myItems[j];
      //If myItem doesn't have a Character parent, it is not anchored.
      //The first and third text frames would fail this test.
      if (!(myItem.parent instanceof Character)) continue;
      //We only care about text frames.
      if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
      //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
      //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content
      //is inadvertently lost.
      else if (myItem.texts.length > 1) continue;
      //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
      //Flatten the text frame.
      //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
      //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
      flattenItem(myItem);
function flattenItem(funcItem)
     //Hold onto the anchor character.
    var myParent = funcItem.parent;
     //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
     //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
     //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
     if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
     //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
     //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
    myParent.contents = " ";
I guess the takeaway might be that you're not looking at the main text frame and then checking to see if anything is anchored to it. You're looking at each text frame and figuring out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

I am working in windows 7 and I am trying to enable the copy/paste and I can not find user.j file in the profile and I am not real sure how to create a file, I can create a folder .

I am trying to copy text from a word document and paste it into my web builder and it says that firefox does not support copy/paste from clipboard. Went to your site and it tells me to open the user.j file in my profile. This file does not exist and I am not real sure how to create that file so I can paste the fix from your site into it.

I went to that link and added to firefox add on but it still does not work. I went to the add on option button for this but it told me that my MYSIWG widget was disabled. Does this have something to do with it not working and if so how do you enable it.

How can I prevent copy/pasting of text from my PDF?

I'm having trouble creating PDF security that DOES NOT allow copying of text. It seems I follow the security steps yet still am able to copy/paste.

Yes, I have figured that out and found I need a customized PDF viewer. It didn't occur to me to use a company that creates e-books, etc. Thank you for your help today.

How can I copy, paste and edit a phone number?

If I copy a phone number then paste it, how can I edit the pasted number?
For example, my phone has an Irish SIM. If I am in the UK and copy a UK phone number from an email signature it will typically be in local format i.e. 0208 456 7890. I need to dial 00 44 208 456 7890. I cannot find a way to delete the zero prefix and add the country code.

This one kills me as well - editing phone numbers in the keypad/dialer is a pretty basic function, I could never fathom why it didn't exist. We need to be able to place a cursor, and copy/paste part-numbers! I'm constantly trying to paste just an area code, or an extension, or insert the country code, and I should not need to create a new number in the contact directory to do it!
Currently I do the copy/paste editing in Notes, and then paste the corrected number into the dialer - pointless and inefficient, and contrary to the Apple philosophy of making the user experience easy and seamless...

How can I copy, paste, and email a web site page?

Hello. Basic Safari question: How can I Copy, then paste, web site content from Safari, into a document (ie. Powerpoint Presentation)? I am interested in copying / pasting so that the content in the document looks (formatted) identical to the content on the web site?
Thanks!

Copy & Paste plain text?

It's really annoying sometimes when I can't copy just plain text from firefox to Pages. It always comes with its own font and size. How could I just copy plain text?

I've added via
+System Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts for other Applications+
a new Application, Pages. Via "Menu" I've set up a new Shortcut. In this case I used "⌘V" and have overwritten the default one. Now ⌥⌂⌘V is ⌘V for me. - And that is what Strato222 want to do: He/She want to use ⌘V and paste the text as plain text.
This works wonderful on Snow Leopard.

Text selection (copy/paste) of text messages

Why is there no color highlight or flash or indicator of success at all when copying text from a text message?
Steps:
1. Copy a text message
2. Paste text message into text entry field
Problems:
1. There is no visual indicator of what text will be copied
2. There is no visual indicator of a successful copy
and, quite truthfully,
3. The long-press on the gesture area is an unusual (for webOS) gesture
Moving text between applications/areas should be identical in all applications, text fields, boxes.
In addition, the text-select instructions on palm.com:
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/pre/pre2/unlocked/solutions/article/45101_en.html#N103A8
do not work from the Pre 2 browser (it is not possible to select individual words in the example phrase and then grow the selection). These instructions should be updated, or, more desirably, text selection should be standardized on an OS level.
While this is a complaint, if anyone has any suggestions or guides I may have missed, please let me know. Also, if I'm simply doing it wrong, I'd appreciate help, as I've now spent far more effort than a non-phone-enthusiast would to understand the copy/paste functionality of my new device.
Post relates to: VisorPhone

Having used the phone for a few weeks now I can say that I've gotten used to selection & cursor motion, but still have problems as there is no indicator of successful action.
I also greatly miss the iPhone's magnifying action for cursor placement, as on my Pre 2 I have to place the cursor and then move it, because I can't see where I'm putting it initially (finger covering word).
I'd love to hear other's thoughts/experiences w/ text selection, the cursor, and copy/paste.

After installing Mt.Lion on my 27" iMac (2010), my copy/paste and move files would no longer function after a few minutes of use. I re-opened in Safe Mode and found everything okay, so I was told it was a bad extension. Now what do I do?

I have tried to look for an extension like Air Print Activator, which I tried and ignored. I thought it might have some timing method that would stop my copying and pasting and moving files after a minutes ot two. So I re-installed the latest version and "uninstalled" it, hoping it would then remove an errant extension. But that didn't help. It seemed to start when I first tried out Mail and moving new emails into their mailboxes after reading. I tried to figure out how to do a Clean Install, too, but it would not allow me to "move" the InstallESD.dmg to a USB disk, "resource busy". Everyway I turn, I'm blocked from carrying out a method of finding the culprit, short of starting from scratch -- but losing years and years of mail, files, receipts, etc. It's just too much to sacrifice. I have no idea what to do next, since I have no idea what extension is causing it or how to isolate and destroy it. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

You can try repairing the boot drive, Since you are running OS 10.6.8 you will need the OS DVD. Do you have it?
Please post back if you do, and need directions on how to do the disk repair.

Are you talking about cut/paste within an application (i.e.: Word, Textedit) or Finder? (i.e.: cut/move file to folder or external hard drive.) Finder doesn't have cut, just copy. As to why, you'd have to ask Apple.
