Copy Pasting in Forums

I just saw a thread in ABAP UI where one user, Sowjanya gosala, did a virtually complete copy paste of another reponse by Sowmya Sahadevan in the same thread and then asked for points.
The original response looked like a copy paste from elsewhere so they may have just come from the same source, but the second poster didn't have the sense to check if someone else had already done it.

Hi.
In such cases: report as abuse! And please write in the abuse notice that you think it is a copy-and-paste answer. And the optimal way is to give a link to the original too. Moderators will then look into it. I'm not into that forum but in ABAP general the result can be seen e.g. in this thread: ddic
And at least I don't accept copy and paste any more. If people do it once they get a warning. If the do it twice they get a new account with a fresh point counter...

Copy/Paste Apple Forum Sign In P/W does not Paste

Is there some security phenomenon that will not allow me to copy and paste my PW into the slot/space for Password
when I try and signin to Apple forums. The allocated space where I would normally paste my PW does not show anything
being pasted,, and I have also used Paste in the menu area , and even tried dragging my PW into this area, to no avail.
Of course, I can type it in manually,, however, my PW is strong,, and generated, and find it very arduous to type in.
Perhaps a 10.7 feature?

Whoops, sorry, I was thinking of another forum I go to. You actually go Safari > Preferences > AutoFill and check the box for remember name and passwords. It will then ask you each site you log onto after that if you would like it to remember the password.

I keep getting this message the past week when I try to copy/paste text to Pages or upload a picture to a website chat forum. I don't know what it means, or how to correct it. I'm running a 2009 iMac desktop with OSX Lion 10.7.3 with 2 GB Any help appreciated.

Running the Lion Os requires a MINIMUM of 2 GB of RAM, as you have. However, with that little RAM the computer will have trouble with many memory based tasks, such as copying and pasting. You really need to increase the amount of RAM your computer has in order to increase its speed and performance. Now, when a task requires more RAM than your system has available then the OS will use some harddrive space temporarily instead. This is called "Virtual Memory." Is it possible that at this time that your harddrive is very full relative to its stated capacity, so that even "virtual memory" is not really available? If that is the case, you really need to cleanup your harddrive by deleting a fair number of less used files.
Hope this helps

How do you keep strokes, etc, from changing when copying & pasting?

I am sure there is a simple solution to this problem, but I cannot figure it out and could use some help. I have a graphic in one InDesign document (ID CS4 - using Windows XP Pro) and when I try to copy and paste it into another ID doc, it completely changes the strokes and fills. It usually does the opposite of what is in the graphic (this happens with every graphic I try this with). So if I have a circle that is stroke only, when I copy and paste it, it comes in with no stroke and a fill. I have to use these graphics between documents frequently and some of them are complicated, making it difficult to spend the time correcting this problem. When I tried adding the graphic to a library, it did the same thing. It also changed it when I moved one page to another document. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and how to make it stop?
Thanks,
GS

Thanks for the reply. While it wasn't the preferences, I did find a link on the link you included in your answer that led me to the solution.
The problem was conflicting object styles. The solution was to load the object style from the doc that included the graphic into the doc that I wanted to place the graphic in. Then when I copy & paste, the graphic comes in perfectly. The only problem is if there are other graphics in that doc, but now that I know there is an issue with object styles, I can pay attention to it as I design.
I can always count on the forum for great answers!

Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.

Extract All Embedded Files in All Folders and Save Each? Copy/Paste from PDF to Word?

I have most of what I need here, but I’m missing 2 important pieces.
#1) I want to copy/paste from all PDF files in a folder and paste the copied data into a single Word file.
It works fine if I have ONLY Word docs in my folder. When I have PDF files and Word files, the contents of the Word files are copied in fine, but the contents of the PDF files seem to come in as Chinese, and there is no Chinese in
the PDF, so I have no idea where that’s coming from.
#2) I want to extract all embedded files (in all my Word files) and save the extracted/opened file into the folder. Some embedded files are PDFs and some are Excel files.
Here the code that I’m working with now.
Sub Foo()
Dim i As Long
Dim MyName As String, MyPath As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Documents.Add
MyPath = "C:\Users\001\Desktop\Test\" ' <= change this as necessary
MyName = Dir$(MyPath & "*.*") ' not *.* if you just want doc files
On Error Resume Next
Do While MyName <> ""
If InStr(MyName, "~") = 0 Then
Selection.InsertFile _
FileName:="""" & MyPath & MyName & """", _
ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, _
Attachment:=False
Dim Myshape As InlineShape
Dim IndexCount As Integer
IndexCount = 1
For Each Myshape In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
If Myshape.AlternativeText = PDFname Then
ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(IndexCount).OLEFormat.Activate
End If
IndexCount = IndexCount + 1
Next
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
End If
On Error Resume Next
Debug.Print MyName
MyName = Dir ' gets the next doc file in the directory
Loop
End Sub
If this has to be done using 2 Macros, that’s fine.
If I can do it in 1, that’s great too.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Hi ryguy72,
>>When I have PDF files and Word files, the contents of the Word files are copied in fine, but the contents of the PDF files seem to come in as Chinese, and there is no Chinese in the PDF, so I have no idea where that’s coming from.<<
Based on the code, you were insert the file via the code Selection.InsertFile. I am trying to reproduce this issue however failed. I suggest that you insert the PDF file manually to see whether this issue relative to the specific file. You can insert PDF
file via Insert->Text->Object->Text from file.
If this issue also could reproduced manually, I would suggest that you reopen a new thread in forum to narrow down whether this issue relative to the specific PDF file or Word application.
>> I want to extract all embedded files (in all my Word files) and save the extracted/opened file into the folder. Some embedded files are PDFs and some are Excel files.<<
We can save the embedded spreadsheet via Excel object model. Here is an example that check the whether the inlineshape is an embedded workbook and save it to the disk for you reference:
If Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.ClassType = "Excel.Sheet.12" Then
Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.DoVerb xlPrimary
Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.SaveAs "C:\workbook1.xlsx"
Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.Close
End If
And since the Word object model doesn't provide API to save the embedded PDF, I would suggest that you get more effective response from PDF support forum to see whether it supports automation. If yes, we can export the PDF as embedded spreadsheet like code
absolve.
Hope it is helpful.

Problems doing copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator

This is a problem I've had since Flash 8: when doing a
copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator (on Windows), there's extreme
degradation of the artwork, sometimes to the extent that no actual
art is even copied. All the curves seem to be approximated with
straight line segments, but at some point it just seems to give up
even trying, leaving an unidentifiable blob for most of the object.
As I said, sometimes it doesn't even copy anything at all -- all
that shows up after pasting into Illustrator is an empty group.
The weird thing is that this process worked fine in Flash MX
2004. What could possibly have changed? I was sure with CS3 it
would be fixed, but it wasn't. I haven't tried Illustrator CS4 yet,
but copying from Flash CS4 to Illustrator CS3 produces the same
problem.
I've seen a few other reports of this problem in other
forums, but I've encountered it on every install of Flash and
Illustrator I've tried (admittedly, all Windows machines, but three
or four different ones, both XP or Vista). Can anyone here confirm
that this problem exists or doesn't exist on their computer? To
test it, create a piece of art with plenty of curves and several
colors in Flash, then copy and paste it into an illustrator
document.
If this problem is as widespread as my experience seems to
indicate it is, why hasn't it been fixed in two major revisions of
the software? Is Adobe even aware of it? If not, how can I let them
know? I'm getting majorly sick of having to deal with it.
Illustrator used to be a much larger part of my animation process,
but now I can't use it how I really want to because of the bad copy
and paste functionality.
-David

Hi,
The integration between Flash CS3 and Illustrator means you
can copy objects from Illustrator to Flash and i think if you copy
from Flash to illustrator or Photoshop, you would not get a good
results.
You can solve your problem by exporting your Flash work as
.AI.
Your idea about the ability to copy from Flash to Illustrator
is a good idea although Illustrator can not read some of the Flash
imported information correctly. But it is still a good enahcement
idea. There is a link where you can add suggestions but I do not
remember it and I am replying using mobile, so my browsing
capabilities is limited.
I will try to post the link here when I got to my back normal
connection
Thanks alot!!

Word crash with sharepoint document and copy-pasting image from paint

Initially I've posted this to another forum but there the rec was to post it here as well.
I have a very annoying issue occurring in specific circumstances (but unfortunately for me that is my daily work), it happens when a document is stored on a SharePoint server. When I copy-paste an image from ms paint into word, often I get the message 'word
has encountered an error' but then I can continue, but every 5-10 times Word crashes completely.
When the error (not the crash) occurs, there is this nothing-saying error message stated below. Think of it.. my ‘floppy disk’ is not full, I have 8 GB of ram and I’ve all the permissions I require. The virus scanner is Symantec Endpoint
Protection.
All systems are in a world-wide enterprise environment (>20.000 users) – So I guess from that side everything is configured OK.
There is a problem saving the file.
Usually this is because the disk or floppy disk is too small for the file or is full, RAM memory is low, or there is a permission problem with the drive the file is being saved to.
If the amount of disk space for a paging file is low, save the file to another drive. If the RAM memory is low, increase available RAM. If permissions to the drive do not allow you to save to that drive, save the file to another drive or request
permissions from the administrator to save files to the drive.
Note This error can also occur if the computer is running a version of antivirus software that is incompatible with the Microsoft Office or must be updated.

Hi,
What is the version of Word?
Sometimes the Preview Pane in Windows File Explorer may conflict with Word, thus the error message appears. If you have enabled the Preview Pane in File Explorer, disable it to check the result. For example, in Windows 8.1, Open File Explorer, click
View tab on the top -> Panes -> Click Preview Pane to enable or disable it.
If the issue persists, I suggest you collect the event logs to find the cause of the crash:
Press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter to open Event Viewer. Browse to Windows Logs -> Application, check if there is any error about the crash.
You can send the event logs to our email address and we can help analyze the problem:

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.

Problem of spaces with copy-paste from Acrobat Reader X (10.1.0)

Hi all,
I have a problem when doing a copy-paste from a text in Acrobat Reader X (10.1.0). When I paste, all spaces are erased.
It does not come from the document as the problem is for every pdf.
Do someone have an idea of where the problem comes from ?
Thanks and cheers
Julien

This is not the forum for Reader, but the problem probably lies with the way the file was created, and/or with the fonts used in it.

Cannot copy/paste in Firefox 22

Colleagues,
copy/paste functions don't work after update.
It's stupid, unprofessional error.
Looked through entire forum - no solution. I don't have ZoneAlarm. I just got Firefox updated to v.22 and - surpise! - it works incorrectly. I didn't change anything. Just installed new update. With v.21 it worked. With v.22 it doesn't work.
WTF?!
Please urgently fix it.

Yes, I am having the same problem... mine works most of the time, but fails about every 1 out of 5 attempts, sometimes multiple times in a row. Extremely annoying. There is a bug report for this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883554
It started happening to me as soon as I upgraded to FF 22, even on local HTML files where there are no clipboard events.
Glad I did a search before gutting my profile.

I can't copy paste from pdf to word due to Unicode character problem.

I was able to copy paste from a pdf document on word and all of a sudden it won't let me paste anymore. Well, I can paste the text but it come up as 'square' thingy.

I just dont understand why all of a suddent it wont past from the same pdf I was using to copy text from.
Thanks.

Drag/drop or copy/paste images out of LR into other apps?

Hi-
First time posting here, I've been an Aperture user the last few years and am now exploring and enjoying Lightroom. One thing I can do in Aperture is to drag and drop or copy/paste images directly from it into other apps. For example, I'll take images from Aperture and put them into Powerpoint (so this is not involving Apple's Media Browser, as in Keynote). When I do this, the generated preview of the image (not the actual RAW file) is inserted into the other app.
Is this possible in LR? I have not seen a way to do it, and couldn't find anything about it on the forum. Or do I have to manually export each image before I can use in another app?
Thanks, Adam

Ah, I've figured it out now you've confirmed it can be done. It looks like I have to be in grid mode in the Library, then I can drag and drop just fine, including RAW files (obviously converted to jpeg). In Aperture I could drag and drop in either full-view or thumbnail, and I was previously trying it from loupe or Develop view in LR.
Regarding Keynote vs PPT, yes I often prefer working in Keynote, but my clients mostly work in PPT, and there are still too many conversion glitches. Besides, I can pretty much make a PPT look like a Keynote, or vice versa , for example this one...

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...

Album starter edition 3.2 won't let me copy/paste pictures

hello,

this program will not allow me to copy/paste any pictures from MY PICTURES/DOCUMENTS. they ALL go into the photoshop program. i have to right click on the picture, use the SEND TO option, send it to my email and transfer from my email (sometimes this path will not allow the picture to enter where i want it to go because of the extended path).
is there a way to bypass the photoshop?
thank you.
