Cut and Paste Question

Hi,
Probably a simple answer, but something I find frustrating; I'm transitioning from Excel to Numbers, and in excel, when you cut and paste, it will automatically delete the row you're cutting from when you paste to the new location (i.e., if I cut the original row 2 and paste it above row 1, I won't have a blank space where the original row 2 used to be).
Can someone explain to me how to do that in numbers? When I cut and paste, it cuts the contents of the cell but leaves the empty cell there instead of automatically deleting it or taking the whole cell with me. It's inconvenient to continually delete the original source cell when the paste is done.
Thanks!

Cut and paste does not work the same. It may be easier for you to simply select the row using the row header (the numbers tha appear when the table is active), and drag the row where you want.
If you want to swap rows 3 and 4, highlight row 4:
then click and hold on the "4" at the very right of the table, then drag above three:
Then release:
In Numbers cut places the contents of the cells you are cutting onto the clipboard, then deleted the content.

A cut-and-paste question

This should be an easy question to answer (I hope). I'm surprised that after using Final Cut for several projects that I still can't figure this out.
Let's say that my project has five video tracks, and is several minutes long. Scattered through these five video tracks are numerous clips.
Then, for instance, I want to cut (or copy) one video clip from the 2nd video track at, say, the 4 minute mark -- then, I want to paste that into the 4th video track at, say, the 2 minute mark.
Now, the problem is that I can't control which video track the pasted file gets dropped into. Even if I select the 4th video track, the pasted clip still tends to be dropped into a different video track, thus overwriting other video.
So, essentially, the question is -- when working with a multi-track video project, how do you specify exactly which track you want the pasted video to drop into?

I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad. Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not? (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

How do I cut and paste sets of lines for use in various Math questions?

How do I cut and paste sets of lines for use in various Math questions?

Thank you for your reply. My problem is much simpler than you are thinking. As a teacher I prepare sheets with random number generators.
EG. 256 + 389= ______    or         467
                                             - 384
       469 + 753= ______
or 5)750
On a PC I was able to start a page of A4 with one set and then drag and drop down and across the page.
On my Macbook I can get the numbers in but the lines do not copy. I asked at one of my One to One sessions and it had my 'trainer' stumped. He said he would make enquiries but so far no news. I am using Numbers.
I hope I have explained my 'problem' satisfactorily.

There is 3rd party software that makes cut & paste easier with just 1 or 2 steps.
Q2 how do I correct a spelling error when it has a red line under it?
You can find the correct spelling in the Apple dictionary. Just add the correct spelling & delete the error.
Care to share which OS you are using and which model iMac you have?

I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

Great tip Stephen!!
I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

Work-around for lack of cut and paste for files in finder

I am new to Mac and have observed some past but closed discussions about the annoying lack of cut and paste in Finder. I too find it very time-consuming to move a file into the folder where I want it to live - especially from downloads. Using a MacBook Pro 13", my open windows are naturally on top of each other and using drag and drop with a touch-pad for file organisation is very cumbersome. Four finger behaviour on touch pad only helps so far.
The approach I adopt is to use cmd c to copy the files or folders in question. cmd ` to flick between finder windows (usually more than one is open) and cmd v to place the files or folders where I want them after navigating through to the destination folder. Shift cmd N gives me a new folder if required. cmd ` takes me back to source folder (usually downloads) so I can cmd delete the files and keep things tidy. This is lengthy to write down. It is however reasonably quick if your fingers know the keyboard shortcuts.
Is there a more efficient way for me to work around this inhibitory feature of Finder? "Save as" is only good if you know you have a folder in your file structure already created and named and suitable to receive the file you want to file away (usually an attachment to an email).

This is in reply to your last paragraph...
This is the Mac OS default Save As... dialog:
Notice that there is a downward pointing disclosure triangle to the right of the Save As: field. If you click on the disclosure triangle, a full Finder window will be exposed, and this will enable you to place downloaded files wherever you like.
Notice, also, that in the bottom left hand corner of the exposed finder window, you are able to create a new folder (in any location on your system) to which you are able to download files.
This works the same way in any Save As situation, using any app, and the app you are in will remember where you last chose to save a file so that repetitive navigation in these dialog boxes is somewhat reduced.

I cannot "cut and paste" a link in Firefox RC-1, I can in the body of the page but not the actual link location at the top of the browser

I just found I can't repeat the problem, when I opened a new tab and submitted this question to you, the cut and paste of the links now work when I returned to the original page. I had tried it on at least 4 different links earlier.

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

Cut and Paste function in Release 620

Hi Experts - I was wondering if someone out there can help me. My question is how would I copy a column of data from an ALV grid and paste it into another area (variant). I can get it to select (highlight) the column but cannot get it to copy to clipboard for later pasting. If this is not working with this version, is there a way I can get the script to keypress the letter "C" so I can do a copy through right-clicking and bringing up context menu.
Thanks

Hi umer ,
I was reading and came acroos few good tricks in SAP.As if now I dont know, That you facing this cut paste for all application of SAP or is it only ALV.
Anyways,
I just wanted to tell you about quick cut and paste option which is available with SAP.
On the standard tool bar we can opt for this option.
CLick on customize local layout (Alt-F12) option in your local GUI setting and choose Quick cut and paste..
This way you can copy cut paste just by highlighting the text desired for copying.And the place the cursor on the place where you want to paste and just click the right button of the mouse.It is really amazing and comfortable.Just try it out .Hope it works out for you.Remember we need to activate using above options.
Hoping your query will be solved.
Have a best day ahead.

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?
For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted... How can I do this without distorting the formula?

Thanks for the feedback.
If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.
CAUTION
Download them while they are available.
Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
Searching infos in the iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

Hi jgallu7382,
The latter is easily accomplished using the Drawing Markup tools, which are available in both the free Adobe Reader, and in Acrobat. Copying/pasting text into the PDF is something that you could do using the editing tools that are available only in Acrobat. Note, however, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a text-editing application, so editing there won't be as robust as in an application designed specifically for that purpose. (It's also worth mentioning that you won't be able to alter a PDF if it has document permissions applied that would prevent you from doing so.)
I hope that answers your questions.
Best,
Sara

Cut and paste from text field not working in early access JRE 1.90-ea-b38

I noticed that cut and paste no longer works with JRE 1.9 on Windows 7 professional. Anyone else having that problem?
I haven't posted a bug reports since the Sun days, is there still a place to post bugs?

Which advice didn't I follow?1) How to write a simple SSCCE.
Again why do you have a custom TableModel? It is not required for the SSCCE and in fact is not required for your real program.
Why is KeyListener code included. It has notthing to do with your question.
2) I also suggested you add the mouse listener to the text area. Well, the text area is defined in the popup dialog, not the editor in my original SSCCE. So why have you made the code so complex by defining a second text area?
I did look at your sample program (the table with pop-up menu appearing on right-click) That was only a wild guess because you didn't respond the second time when I asked you why the mouse listener wasn't added to the text area.

HT1015 how do i cut and paste with my magic mouse?

That's a hardware question what would be best answered in the forum for the system version you're using, either Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.
