Copy & paste to new document doesn't preserve World Ready attributes

I am running ID CS 2014 under Windows 7.
I have 2 documents and am copying and pasting text from one to the other. Both have paragraph & character styles with identical names but different definitions. I want the pasted text to retain the styles from the original document with the new attributes applied which normally works perfectly. Both of these documents contain spot Hebrew text within English text, so all styles are set up to use the World Ready Composer.
What is happening is that when I paste the copied text into the second document (this is totally English text), it is behaving like Hebrew text in that it selects from right to left instead of from right to left, and punctuation is at the beginning of the line instead of the end of the line. Checking the settings for that document, the World Ready Composer is on and the keyboard and character direction both are set to "default" which is correct.
What I see is happening is that when it is pasted, in the paragraph style under indents in spacing, the paragraph direction changes to right-to-left (when the originating document and the new document both have the style set to left-to-right).
As I have a lot of such text to copy and paste, it is pain each time to redefine the paragraph style. How can I prevent this from happening?

What you are seeing is expected behavior-- pasted text with a style will always pick up style definitions from the document you are pasting into.
You can fix this quickly by creating style groups in one of your documents. You could collect all the styles in the Hebrew document into a folder called Hebrew. (Do this for the Paragraph styles and the Paragraph Styles).
This way, the new document will view them as new styles, and not change the formatting.

  • Copy paste text between documents bug

    Hi
    When I copy paste styled text (text or text containers) between CS6 (or CC) documents, the language for the text changes to a wrong one (from Finnish to English: British), along with the spelling of course. The style does follow correctly to the fresh new document, but ID makes an exception to the style for this pasted text (Style1+). The transferred style itself still has the correct language defined.
    Doesn't happen when copy pasting within the same document.
    All default languages are correct (default and within styles). Deleting preferences did nothing.
    Anyone else has this? Any suggestions on how to correct this. I seem to remember there was something like this ages ago too.

    Thanks Uwe
    • New user: no help.
    • Save as or IDML: no change, same problem.
    • Snippet: language does remain correctly Finnish!
    • ID5.5: no problem at all! Language remains correct.
    So, this is my persistent problem:
    • Any text with a style on it becomes (as a local exception to style) wrong language when copy-pasted or dragged as a whole page between docs.
    • The styles them selves transfer correct. Clicking style for each paragraph again sets the correct language (but the original local adjustments are lost).
    • No style has [Basic Paragraph] as a parent and [Basic Paragraph]'s and the general default language are Finnish, too. The wrong language (English: British) is not used anywhere.
    • Text with no style remains correctly Finnish (target default).
    • IDML: same problem. Save As: same problem.
    • IDMS: language remains correct.
    • Trashing preferences doesn't help.
    • New user account doesn't help.
    • Effected versions: ID CC (9.1 fi), ID CS6 (8.0.2 fi). CS5.5 (7.5.1 en) is not effected. System is Mac 10.8.5 (fi).
    • CC has no extra plugins. CS6 and CS5.5 have Suitcase (F4) plugin only as extra.

  • 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.

  • How to Keep Tracking when Copying Text to New Document?

    I have about 10 Chapters of a book in separate documents with Tracking turned on (and lots of changes). I want to merge them into one larger documents and keep the tracking.
    Unfortunately, when I copy the text to the new document, I lose all the tracking changes (it copies the final version).
    Is there a way to maintain the tracking when I copy over the text?

    Just search using Google -

  • Script to find specific font and copy to a new document

    I am working on a scripting solution to help break out files for production. What I need to do is search through a PSD, find any text objects that are in a specific font, and if they match, copy them to a new document. Can anyone help me with this? I've been able to make parts work, but I am very green, and could use a little bit of direction.
    thanks!

    Yeah so far I've been having trouble checking the layers, identifying the fonts, and the creating the new text object on a new file So pretty much the whole thing is broken at the moment.  Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I'm just now really starting to learn javascript just to be able to automate photoshop.

  • Formatting issues in sharepoint 2013 when copy/paste from word document

    Hi, 
    When we copy/paste content(rich text, tables, styles) from a word document to SharePoint site whole formatting is messed up.
    is this the limitation of SharePoint 2013?
    Thanks, 
    Shiva.

    Hi Shiva,
    Some styles for font of rich text aren't be kept when I copy the content from Word 2013 and paste into a wiki page from SharePoint 2010/2013(even SharePoint 2007 like this
    post) site as same as yours, it looks like a limitation.
    As a workaround, we can publish the Word content as a Blog article in SharePoint site, then copy the content from the blog page to the needed SharePoint page, it will keep the rich text content format, you can have a try.

    I just bought a dvd with digital copy but my Mac doesn't have a disc drive. I have the redemption code but can't load the disc to redeem it like it asks. TIA

    You need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive which can read/write to/from the media and is compatible with a computer. I don't own a PS3, but from what I just saw on their website, I don't believe that would be compatible.

  • Why things go wacky when I copy and paste to a new document...

    Hi,
    It seems when I go to copy graphics and paste into a completly new document, the text goes wacky. It retains the font but some instances of the font are enlarged and a line that may have had 2 words on it will now have 1 word on it. - I'm finding myself having to flatten (create outlines) of text just to copy and pate samples of the artwork elsewhere.
    Any idea as to why this is happening? Any way to fix this in settings or preferences?
    thanks!

    Possibly, the text from the original document is applied a [Basis Paragraph] paragraph style, and the style has been modified. You copy the text into a new document and it takes on the attributes of [Basis Paragraph] of new doc, however differs from the original document.

  • AR8 doesn't implement the unix-style copy&paste

    Hi,
    I can't say if earlier Acrobat Reader versions did it, we just stepped on AR8 not doing this: If you mark text with the left mouse key in any application in any Unix I know, this text is copied to some clipboard and can be inserted in any other window with the middle mouse key.
    Even Programs like Opera/Firefox/Thunderbird/Openoffice do this.
    AR8 doesn't, unfortunately. Is there a setting to activate this? I didn't find one...
    If there isn't, please add this feature to the next release! This is really a "must have" in Unix :-)
    cu,
    Frank

    So with Fedora 8 the following seems to the pattern.
    Open pdf file.
    Mouseover line of text.
    Middle click in blank document, get mouseover text.
    Mouseover a second line of text.
    Middle click in blank document, get first line of text.
    Highlight a third line of test.
    Uee edit menu to copy
    Paste into blank document, get third line of text.
    Highlight a fourth line of test.
    Uee edit menu to copy
    Paste into blank document, get first line of text.
    First line of text ever after.

  • Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? -  OS 10.6.3

    Hi,
    New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
    Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
    Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names."  It was not answered and is quoted here:
    ---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
    Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
    From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off.  Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
    I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or ->  drag and drop picture clipping.
    Opening Image File in CS5
    Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
    I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

    Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
    It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
    As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.

  • Error "Compile error: Invalid character" after copy paste operations in VBE 6.5 PowerPoint 2011

    This is a weird problem with the VBE 6.5 in Office 2011, running natively on a Mac.
    Sometimes, yet often, when I select a word by double clicking on it or a line by highlighting that line in the editor and then copy/paste it somewhere else in the code, the compiler throws the error "Compile error: Invalid character"
    The thing is, what I see has been pasted is exactly the same as the source text. However, if I then paste the same clipboard item to a text editor, I can see that there is an 'invisible' character at the end of the string which is counted in the text editor
    where the cursor is shifted past it but does not shown on the screen!!!
    Back in the VBE, if I select a line that is dubious and drag it, the semi transparent dragged text has a '>' character on a new line.
    In some copy/paste cases, the compiler doesn't see an error but the code doesn't work as expected and I have spent hours debugging stuff that has invisible characters in it (the hardest debugging I've ever had to do!).
    I'm not sure if this example will paste correctly into the forum but this looks like 19 characters but is in fact 20 as there is the offending copy/paste invisible character between 'Test' and '.'
    <code>Test.Value = False</code>
    This seems to be a major oversight in the code of the VBE 6.5 so are Microsoft aware of this and when is it due to be fixed?
    Jamie.

    I had this exact issue.  This is a terrible bug.  The code looks perfect, but there are hidden characters that throw compiler errors.  Thanks for the quick fix, Microsoft.
