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

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

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.

  • Mac Word 2008 Cut-And-Paste broken with DW CS3

    The title pretty much says it all - something is failing in
    the process of cutting text from a MS Word 2008 (Mac) document into
    Dreamweaver CS3. Nothing gets transferred.
    I can cut text from Word and paste into other text editors
    (BBEdit, TextMate, TextEdit) without any problem... and can then
    cut and paste that into DW... but, of course, all formatting
    information is stripped - which isn't always a bad thing: this is
    Word, after all...
    Cut-and-paste from Word 2004 worked OK. It's a strange thing
    to have break... and it's odd to me that Word got out of beta with
    this, given the fact that Dreamweaver is as popular as it
    is.

    Well, I can't give any dates, but it's not any time in the
    next few
    months.
    If I figure out an easy workaround, I'll let you know
    directly.

    The following information was submitted on the Software
    Feature
    Request and Bug Report Form for Dreamweaver
    Since upgrading to Office 2008, I can
    no longer copy and paste text from Microsoft Word to
    Dreamweaver.
    When I click Edit -> Paste, or Cmd-V, nothing happens. If
    I do a
    Paste Special routine and choose unformatted text, then it
    *usually*
    works.
    Dreamweaver did not have this issue with Word 2004.

  • Cut and Paste Bug with SUM( )

    If SUM( ) refers to multiple ranges, and one of those ranges is Cut and then Pasted to another location, the SUM( ) function is not changed to reflect the new location of those Cut and Pasted cells.  Instead, SUM( ) continues to refer to the original locations.
    I tried this in Excel and it works well.
    I am using
       iPad Numbers Version:     1.5 (423)
       iOS Version:                    5.0.1

    Followed your steps exactly and it's exactly like I said in my previous post. Cut and paste works for effects. Here's exactly what I did except for the part where I created the worst illustrator art that I've ever seen. Just two layers, lovely colors. The .ai file is imported as a comp with retain layer sizes selected. A black brush is chosen set to write on and silhouette luma. The size is adjusted to cover the line easily, I paint on the line, press the e key to reveal the effect in the timeline. It's there, it's also in the ECW so I select the effect, cut it, go to the composition, use Cmnd+Y to create a new layer and paste Cmnd + V and the paint effect is applied to the solid.
    There's something going on with your machine, some third party plug-in, some other app, some other issue that's preventing this from working.
    Here's my little movie of the whole experiment.
    I'd make sure that your AE version is the latest, that you have your memory and processing set to the defaults, and that you're not running any other apps while testing AE. If there's still a problem, file a bug. Your machine is not behaving as my machine and every other Mac I routinely work on is behaving.

  • 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?

  • Adobe Reader/Preview  pdf-to-Word cut and paste problems...

    Hi,
    I often cut and paste from pdfs of documents where the text is in two columns, to Word documents...and without fail, I get a jumbled-up mix of BOTH columns of text that I have to mess with, deleting bits I don't want, squishing-up the text I do, etc...
    What am I doing wrong, and is there anything I can do to stop this happening?!
    Thanks very much for any advice.

    If you are using Adobe Reader to open the pdf then the selection tool should highlight what you are copying and pasting. Unfortunetley sometimes with double row columns you are forced to copy parts of text that you don't want.

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Apple Mail Cut and Paste Problem

    When I cut and past in Apple Mail font changes to smaller size.  Any suggestions?

    As you know, type sizes are uniform - unless you use cut-and-paste. The resulting text will sometimes be smaller, larger, or different than the type-style you began with.
    Personally, I'd ignore it. But if you want to fix the font size, you can alter it in the Format Bar on the top of the Mail program. This allows you to change the type, size, and even alter special characters. To make the text uniform, highlight the text you want to alter, open the Format Bar, and change the settings.

  • Cut and paste problem

    When I cut and paste from a photoshop document into a new image, the edges are automatically feathered, as pictured below. How can I keep this from happening?

  • 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 Problems with Images

    I'm having the strangest problems with images. I copy an image off of the web for one of my art history classes and I go to paste into another program but, whether it's Keynote, Powerpoint, Photoshop, or Graphic Converter, something always goes wrong: the images definitely lose some of their quality, become brighter in appearance, and get jagged on the edges. This is starting to drive me nuts, especially since it never happened in 10.4 on my iBook G4. Any suggestions?

    Make it an 8-bit file (Image menu > mode).

  • 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

  • Any news to the copy and paste problem with osx 10.9 ms rdc client?

    Hi,
    Yes, it is not supported in the current versions.
    The workaround is to use folder redirection.
    Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have redirected.
    Configure Folder Redirection
    1. Click the + button.
    2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
    • Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
    • Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
    3. Click the exit button to save the remote desktop.
    Thanks.
