Copy / Paste into Skype

In windows 7 you can copy/paste into skype no problem. 
In windows 8 you can no longer copy/paste into skype. 
This seems like moving backwards so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

I was wondering if I can set my area code as a default when placing calls? Sounds trivial but I make a lot of business calls and like to copy/paste the number directly into Skype’s call box, most do not have the area code attached which is needed unless I can find a way of getting Skype to use a default area code. Skype needs all 10 numbers to complete the call, so I'm having to enter 916 each time I place a call.

Thanks, Kevin
Since Skype is an international service, setting a default domestic area/city code is not possible.  If you are regularly calling the same group of people, you could define them in the contacts list of your Skype program or phone app.  When you do that, you could put in the international country code and area/city code before each number.  If you are using a Skype app on a mobile phone (i.e., iPhones), you can also make use of the phone's contacts list - if they are set up with the international country code and area/city code for each number.

  • Copy & Paste into Dialer - Cannot Edit Number!

    I am curious as to why the supposed enhancement to enabling you to paste a number into the Dialer app does not allow you to edit the number once pasted. I do a lot of international calls and people send out email invites (especially US based people) and they send the number as 1 xxx xxx xxxx, omitting the + from the start, which international caller require.
    In previous versions of the OS you could select the number as a link and it would ask you if you wanted to call the number. I had hoped that the cut & paste ability would allow you to paste the number and then edit it to insert the + sign.
    As this is not available I do not see what the excitement is with cut & paste in the Dialer app.
    These little things make all the difference in usability!

    Clearly Apple's developer beta testers did not do enough research on copy past into the dialer pad for INT'L capabilities
    Since they're in so many countries...I'm sure this will be an update soon to follow...
    Apple is "rumored" to read the forums for high level observation ONLY...meaning they may check to see that they have 250 posts on bad battery life after an update...but NEVER reply to the poster...
    In a few articles I've read on Appleinsider.com it is said that some posters actually got emailed at the email they listed in their user profile to answer a follow up question Apple had...this I'm sure is very RARE though and probably would only happen if a specific step or user action needed to be understood to duplicate an error or issue...

  • Finished sequences is wrong timebase, cant copy paste into new sequence

    I am coming onto a project finishing it for a first time editor and he cut 23.97 footage in a 29.99 seq, there are many time effects etc. I tried copy/pasting into a new seq but everything ends up in different places. I cant change my seq settings as it is grayed out, this is outside the realm of my experience any advice would be much appreciated! Cheers.

    Different timebase...OOOCHIE! This is what people get for not paying attention, and what happens with the OPEN TIMELINE being able to edit almost any format. People don't see the RENDER BAR and just carry on...ugh.
    Nothing to do but to copy and paste into a correct timebase, and manually close all the gaps. *****, but what you need to do. Been there....cleaning up after an editor.

  • Problem with copy/paste into WYSIWYG field?

    In using Robo HTML X5 my helpfile design is a simple one, but
    one issue is stumping me.
    -From the TOC tab I will create a new topic, and then edit
    the WYSIWYG field on the right, insert graphics, etc. But if I cut
    and paste from Word 2003 into the WYSIWYG topic field, all
    formatting like bold letting is stripped out, along with graphics.
    The graphics have to be cut and pasted individually and I manually
    have to reformat the text.
    Does anyone know why a copy/paste into the WYSIWYG field is
    being stripped of formatting somehow? Is there simple project
    setting somewhere?

    Hi reiver12367 and welcome to our community
    Trust me on this. Mixing Word and RoboHelp HTML are like
    mixing oil and water. You really don't want to go down any road
    where formatting is maintained during a copy/paste operation.
    You might see better results by right clicking the folder
    (inside RoboHelp HTML) where you want the topic to be, then
    selecting Import. From there, choose the Word document file type
    from the drop-down on the bottom of the dialog, navigate to and
    choose your Word document. You will have a couple of dialogs to
    deal with and the stuff should import in.
    Personally, I even avoid going that route if I can. I instead
    opt for saving the Word document as pure ASCII text. Then creating
    a new topic and copy/pasting the text into the topic. From there I
    format as needed.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Can't Copy / Paste from Skype

    Me and my friend often exchange story ideas in skype, and to ensure I don't lose these, I save them into Microsoft Word. Skype, however, has started giving me serious copy / paste problems. I'll select all, then either right click or crtl + v, go to word... and my clipboard doesn't even register as having picked up anything. Only when I manually drag my cursor to select text (which takes an agonizing amount of time--we talk a lot!) will the stupid thing allow me to copy it.
    This problem has been ongoing for quite a few months, but usually restarting my computer would restart the copy / paste functionality, provided I didn't copy anything else before copying from skype. It's now been close to a straight month without it working in skype at all, though, whether I restart my laptop or not.
    Any suggestions? I'm running the latest version of skype.

    If I recall correctly, the Windows clipboard system allows the developer to place different types of data in the clipboard, and convert between them. It is often possible, for example, to paste formatted text as plain text and so on. Large amounts of data are sometimes stored as "links" back to the producing program, so that it can transfer data directly.
    Now this is just a guess, but when you select all with Ctrl+A, there's a chance that Skype in fact puts all the information about the whole message into the clipboard, including its metadata such as time, sender, etc. Dragging would just select the text.
    If the receiving program cannot interpret the metadata, and the plain-text version is not also stored in the clipboard, then pasting would fail.
    Again, as I say, this is just a guess. We would have to get confirmation from the Skype developers as to whether this is true.
    Have you tried pasting into different programs? (Word, plain text editor, Powerpoint...) If one of them can accept the clipboard contents then we may get a further clue.
    EDIT: I found this program which inspects clipboard contents directly - http://www.peterbuettner.de/develop/tools/clipview/ which may also be of use.

  • Copy & paste into save for web color palette doesn't function on macs

    This didn't work in CS2 either on the mac side. Yet, you can copy a color hex code in the normal program, save for web and paste that color into the color picker for matte on a gif just fine on a PC. Get on a mac and you better get a pen out. Why?! Why can't I paste into the save for web/devices color picker?! Seriously? $600 and I can't copy and paste because I use a mac while at work on the PC I can do it without issue.

    Is this something that will be given to mac users in a future update?

  • Copy & Paste into Google Maps no longer works after 4.2 update

    Anyone else seem to be getting this problem? Copy and paste into Google maps was extremely useful. Now this doesn't seem to work for me after updating to 4.2.

    1. Copy something into the clipboard (doesn't matter what it is)
    2. Open Google maps
    3. Try to paste into the search bar. You don't get the paste option.
    4. Try to type something into the search bar then attempt to copy what you just typed. No options appear to copy what was just typed in.
    This used to work prior to the 4.2 update. Very useful when receiving incomplete addresses via text message or from a web page.

  • Why Can't I Copy/Paste Into Dreamweaver CS6?

    I am running Windows XP Professional w/ Service Pack 3 and I have Dreamweaver CS4 and CS6 installed. 
    When I work on sites in CS6 I find I'm having issues with copying and pasting.  It doesn't matter where I try to pull the information from, it won't paste into Dreamweaver CS6 (code view or design view). It seems to work fine in CS4, as well as every other application I try to paste to.
    I don't have CS4 and CS6 open simultaneously. I just kept CS4 because it had a bunch of info on other sites I need to transfer over, as well as testing CS6 before fully commiting to it.
    Any insight or help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have this problem, too, and it's driving me f'n crazy, too!
    While I'm happy other forum members are offering to help by asking diagnostic questions, why grill us over what we have installed and what we can and can't do? This is a problem shared by many users. Why is the burden of "proof' on our shoulders? No offense meant, Nancy and Murray, but are you going to be able to resolve this bug? Unless you work at Adobe, I doubt it! It's not something WE are doing.
    I've been using Dreamweaver since version 1.0 in 1998 or so, and I've never had this problem. It seems like something that should be pretty basic to identify and fix. Shouldn't Adobe be on these forums asking what programs we have installed on our machines and what we can and can't do? What help is it if a fellow forum member asks these questions? Adobe is a major corporation that should be listening to our issues, especially if we're forking over $600 PER YEAR for Creative Cloud!
    This problem needs to be fixed, and it needs to be fixed now. I can't work like this!

  • Why is Pages exporting .pdf for .jpg when I copy/paste into another application?

    Someone sent me a document that has pictures in it. I want to copy the whole thing and just paste it into an e-mail to post to a blog that way, but when I do it converts all of the .jpg files to .pdf files. I've tried pasting into Mail, which is native to Apple, and this happens. I've tried pasting it to gmail, a web app, and this happens, so I'm sure this is happening on the part of pages and not the applications I'm importing into. How do I change that?
    Please help! Thx
    *P.S. And just out of frustration for Pages lately (due to no new updates in 3 years), why are there so few options to change in preferences and no support for external plug-ins (like Mendeley and other reference managers that work just fine with OpenOffice)?

    PDF is the unique format available allowing Pages to transfert a mix of different objects to an other application. The fact that the app is an Apple or a third party one doesn't matter.
    I'm just surprised by the fact that copying a single jpej object give the same result under Lion. I was not remembering that it behaved this way with older operating systems.
    If you really want to pass the jpegs, you must enter in the internals of the Pages document.
    Duplicate the azerty.pages document
    rename the replicate as azerty.zip
    Double click it.
    You will get a folder named azerty.
    It will contain several files including the wanted jpegs.
    *P.S. And just out of frustration for Pages lately (due to no new updates in 3 years)
    In three years, Pages evolved from
    4.0 to 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.0.5, 4.1
    As far as I know this means six updates.
    why are there so few options to change in preferences and no support for external plug-ins (like Mendeley and other reference managers that work just fine with OpenOffice)?
    As far as I know, Apple if ree to design its produces as it want.
    iWork is not designed as a clone of OpenOffice which is a clone of M…oSoft Office.
    Happily, one of the rules applying to Apple products design is :
    ++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++
    Apple Human Interface Guidelines:
    Apply the 80 Percent Solution
    During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
    If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    I really hope that the Pages Preferences dialog will never resemble to Office one.

  • Unable to copy-paste into a few fields in Safari

    Hello, can anybody tell me why you cannot paste text copied from programs, such as Excel into some of the fields in Safari? Take this website as an example: http://www.banamex.com/estudiosfinanzas/finanzas/divisasmetales.htm
    it is a currency converter. at the bottom right there is a field "Cantidad". You cannot paste anything in there, you have to type. If you open that same link in another browser, you will be able to paste into that field. Can anybody help? Thanks very much!

    Hi Jorge
    your example is the same for me in Safari & Firefox, neither allow pasting, but Camino does.
    It's due to a javascript function deliberately set on that field to allow (validate) only certain numbers (no letters etc, only 2 decimal places) - disable javascript & it works more normally.
    Presumably, Firefox & Safari present pasted data in a way that triggers the website javascript function to reject it, regardless of the correct content.

  • ICal bug: cannot copy/paste into location field of exchange 2007 calendar

    when you copy text from any application (cmd C) and then try to paste it into de location field of a new or existing appointment of a calendar synchronizing with an exchange 2007 account in iCal 4.0, then .... well nothing happens. You can paste it in a subject or a notes field but not in de location field.

    My experience as well (hooked into google calendar), and a frustrating one. I assume this is related in some way to the "yellow exclamation point in edit mode - can only select entire block"? I see that normal "on my mac" calendar locations don't have the yellow exclamation point, and I can select any portion of the text. What's up with this? Is iCal suggesting that google's "Where" field is incompatible somehow? Yet there seems to be no trouble exchanging data between the two...
