CS3 Undo and Paste Problem

Hi,
Using CS3 InDesign on windows XP and all of a sudden copy and paste to other applications as well as undo just quit working. A repair install fixed it once but another repair did not help. Applied the latest update and still no fix.
Has anyone run into this before? I guess next step is a complete reinstall?

It might help to replace your prefs.

Copy and Paste Problem in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Hi All,
I saw the posts for Dreamweaver CS4 for copy and paste problems. I tried all the suggestions but to no avail. My copy and paste would not work. Then I found what worked for me...
I went to Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts --> and I changed from "Dreamweaver Standard" to "Dreamweaver Mx2004". For the moment, it is working. I am on XP Professional.
From the other posts the suggestions were...
Switch to Classic Mode
Delete the Configuration file
Uncheck "Enable related files"
It was a problem for sure, and hopefully I won't be back for this one :-) Good luck

Hello,
The problem has been solved by over writing the � font.properties � file in jre/lib/� .
The changes given as follows:
# Exclusion Range info.
# exclusion.dialog.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff
# exclusion.dialoginput.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff
# exclusion.serif.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff
# exclusion.sansserif.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff
# exclusion.monospaced.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff
That is, we comment the lines having Red foreground color.

Copying and pasting problem?????

Hey, wondering if anyone can help.
I am having problems copying and pasting folders to a memory stick or an external, and get this error code up (error code -36).
This happens, whether the folder is a couple of KB or several GB. I am not sure what to do, any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Ash

No, sorry I am on 10.6.2. I have looked on the internet, typed in the error code and cant find anything.
I have gone onto the folder, right clicked and gone onto get info and set the sharing options to read & write for all settings.
At the moment the only way I can copy and paste is to write the folder on a new folder and copy the contents in side, providing there is no folders in side.
Thanks
Ash

Copy and paste problem with regions

I've noticed that occasionally, when I copy and paste a region within the same track, I sometimes paste twice (directly on top of the other region). Or at least that's the end result. When I realize this, I go to delete the region and then there's a region under that one.
Except, it's very long, sometimes the length of the song. This wouldn't be a problem except it's uneditable. I can't trim it, loop it, cut it etc.
Besides not pasting it twice in the first place, how can I keep this from occurring? Is it a bug? Why can't I edit the region? Thanx.

I should probably mention that this happens primarily with audio instrument tracks.

Copy and Paste problem in Leopard

I am archiving thousands of pict files to dvd, in OS 9.2 I simply open the window select all files, then copy all the file names and paste into my dvd cover index in Pages. This has worked fine.
The problem is in Leopard it copys the actual files, not the names.
Can you help.
Mike

I am not overly familiar with what you are trying to do, but it sounds like you could just create and alias of each file and copy that to the DVD.
• Select file
• Right-click / Control-click
• Select 'Make Alias'
I encounter similar requirements for cataloging large numbers of files spread across multiple disks/CDs/DVDs and use CD Finder (http://www.cdfinder.de/), which has proven to be perfect for over 3 years now.

Hp prime Copy and pasting problems

Does any one know why the HP prime copy and paste function does not work properly. For example when I copy and past form the spreadsheet to the statistics 1 var app nothing happens. Perhaps there is a work around that will allow me to avoid this problem or another firmware that I can download.
Please note that i am using Software version: 2015 6 17 (8151)
Hardware Version: A
CAS Version: 1.1.2-11
Operating System: 4CY35605VB I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong, however I should point out that when I copy from statistic 1 or 2 Var apps and paste to the spreadsheet app that everything works fine. The problem persists when when I reverse the direction, and copy from the spreadsheet and paste to the statistics 1 or 2 Var apps. I should also note that this problem does not occur with the HP Prime emulator.

Hi!, mu271314: I'm have a HP PRIME GRAPHING CALCULATOR, with same Software Version and run OK. Try ...In the Statistic 1Var, write your data, p.e.D1 D2 D312 9 936 9 9 2 9 6Now, for copy you must, select with More, the option 3Select and 3BoxIn Choose Prog Function, select Row's and Column, as ...Row: 1 Column: 1Row: 3 Column: 3Press Ok.

Cut and Paste problem with links in DW

Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening.....
when I cut and paste a complex link -- DW seems to add some characters.... see below....
Original Link
http://spie.org/app/program/index.cfm?fuseaction=exhibitordetail&exhibitorid=20189&meeting _id=169
Dreamweaver's modified link.... it's adding amp after the & sign....
http://spie.org/app/program/index.cfm?fuseaction=exhibitordetail&exhibitorid=20189&meeting _id=169
Simple links stay the same... but this got me in a little hot water with a client when I sent out an email from constant contact....
Thanks
-C
oh... couple things.... I'm working on:
OS 10.6.2 (MAC)
CS4

"it's adding amp after the & sign"
It's not actually adding "amp".
DW is assisting you by encoding the "&" (which validators assume to be a broken HTML entity since they start with "&") and replacing it with the correct form of "&" so that browsers can understand the URL.

Cut and paste problem in an applet :(

Hi All,
I have developed an applet based GUI and now I wanted to cut and paste some text from an external application say from a notepad(Windows) to a
JTextfield in the applet. I tried to do it on a applet but it was not allowing me to do it. I was able to do the same(cut and paste) on a textfield when run as an application. So does the cut and paste operation has anything to do with the sandbox security provided by an applet model?. This sounds bit crazy or maybe Im missing something here. Would appreciate help on this.
Thanks a ton!
Thanks,
Ram

You can always use CTRL-C and CTRL-V to copy/paste, but if you want to right-click, you have to implement it yourself.. Here's MY implementation, if even has 'Undo'!

Cut and paste problems

Cut and paste between program has been real buggy since upgrading. Today, I am trying to cut lines of text out of InDesign and paste into either a web browser or Mail, and nothing happening. Text cuts OK, cause I can paste it back into ID, but won't let me paste elsewhere. Had the same problem earlier pasting between Excel and ID. Anybody else experiencing this?

It's an extremely important skill to learn to read the API and become familiar with the tools you will use to program Java. Java has an extensive set of documentation that you can even download for your convenience. These "javadocs" are indexed and categorized so you can quickly look up any class or method. Take the time to consult this resource whenever you have a question - you'll find they typically contain very detailed descriptions and possibly some code examples.

Dreamweaver cut and paste problem! LAST RESORT!

Hello there people
I am in desperate need of some help, I have exhausted all
other options and I REALLY hope some one on here will be able to
help me!...
I was halfway through an index.html doc when my cut and paste
option stopped working! if you go to edit, all the options are
greyed out! and keyboard shortcuts wont work either! I have tried
opening my other docs and they are all the same!,
Thinking it was a bug I downloaded some updates, I then tried
re-installing, and then removing the WHOLE thing then
re-installing! Ive also looked at windows and there does not seem
to be a problem there either!
Cut and paste works EVERY where else except in DW!
It is looking like maybe I have "selected" some thing, but I
have checked every thing I know and still NOTHING!!
can any one shed any light on this?

IVE GOT THE ANSWER!
In Windows, browse to this file:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration\panelset.xml
Rename the panelset.xml file to panelsetOLD.xml, so that
Dreamweaver will automatically create a new panelset.xml
file.

Never in all my years have I seen this cut and paste problem - can anyone help?

Hi all... I've been using Illustrator since v5, and never before has something foxed me as much as this...
I have a document supplied from a customer to make up into packaging artwork. To start with, the file is 19MB which set the alarm bells ringing, as it has no images etc, and is fairly simply made up (it's a milk carton sleeve). However, when you copy any single element (even a simple shape) from the file and paste to a new doc it takes literally 2 mins to copy, and a minute or so to paste it into the new doc, and then comes in with nearly 100 colours - all called 'Deleted Global Color (1-100)'. You can delete these colours by selecting remove unused colours, but even then when you save the file down (an A4 page with a simple shape coloured in black), the file is 47MB!!! (which is obviously why I can't attach it)...
I've looked in the appearances etc and nothing seems untoward - all masks have been disabled etc. As you can imagine, the file is very hard to work with, and even to deconstuct it is proving to be an impossible feat.
If anyone has ever seen anything like this or if anyone knows what might be causing the problems or can suggest any way of tackling it, then I can be most grateful. I can supply a file if needed, but as mentioned, they are quite large!
Thanks in anticipation, Karl

Thanks Tom - I'm sure this is related to my problem in regards to the file having a severe 'lame ducks' problem. However, the answer in Teri Pettit's post (http://adobe.groupbrowser.com/t177412.html) is very specific to the user's problem she is addressing, so when I followed the instructions it didn't work for my file as I couldn't locate the offending string of text, as that must have been specific to the file that was being looked at.
My file seems much worse! The file Teri was looking at was saving down at 6-8MB - mine saves down anything between 40-80MB. Though I'm sure it is the same problem.
I could really do with getting in touch with Teri Petitt, but I am unsure as to how I can do this, as the adobe group browser doesn't let you reply to posts.
Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction - I feel like I'm getting closer to a solution, just hope I can get in touch with Teri...
Cheers, Karl

CS3 - Copy and Paste from InDesign to Illustrator NOT working

I am trying to copy and paste some graphical elements from InDesign to Illustrator. The Paste command is active in Illustrator, but when I evoke the command, nothing is pasted. What is wrong?

Apparently it is an issue with Leopard (and Illustrator)
Workarounds:
1) Export from InDesign as eps or PDF, or
2) Copy paste into Photoshop as a Smartobject, and then double click the layer to edit smart object (it will open in Illustrator)
I know, it's a pain.

Copy and paste problem

Yesterday something strange began happening. I copied all of the text in a document, opened a new page and pasted. However, the paste put what appears to be a text box on the new page. When I dragged the borders to the page size, I only had one page of a three page document copied. I've tried it with other documents with the same results. If I physically highlight the desired text and copy it, everything seems to be normal. Have I done something to affect the "copy all" command?

Pages has to types of documents. Word processing and Page Layout. I think you opened a blank PL document. It will always have text in boxes, and when the box is too small for the text you will get a plus sign at the bottom.
Open a WP document instead and paste the text. It will flow over to a new page if needed.

Copy and paste problem in Netcape

I have a text field on a jsp page, sometimes(not all the time) when I copy and paste text into that field in Netscape it will add spaces in front of the text, it looks like it might be right justifying the text in the textbox. This happens only sometimes in Netscape and never in IE. Has anyone ever heard of this and if so does anyone know of a fix?

I guess one of your components (source or destination) is a textarea. It must be written like this:
<teaxtarea></textarea>
without any spaces like this:
<teaxtarea> </textarea>
and without line breaks like this:
<teaxtarea>
</textarea>
