Cut and paste stopped working

Why have I lost the ability to cut (or copy) and paste?  Rebooting doesn't help.  Captivate 6.0, Win 7 64 bit.  I have found that I still can copy highlighted text from one caption to another but I can't select the caption as an object and copy and paste it. Neither can I paste pictures, drawing objects, buttons etc.

Hi There,
Is this issue occurs with specific project or exists in a new blank project as well?
You can clean the preferences of Captivate by closing it first then go to C Drive > ProgramFiles > Adobe > AdobeCaptivate 6 64 bit > utils > Run CleanPreferencesWin.bat file.
Then launch Captivate by right click on it and choose run as administrator and see if that makes any difference.
Regards,
Ajit

  • Cut and paste not working

    Cut and Paste functionality has stopped working, even after a Restart, in both Numbers and Pages.  OS is Mavericks 10.9.2.

    I can paste a .jpg object into a Pages document, but can't cut and paste text blocks.   When I select and execute "Cut" (either via keyboard or menu), the "Paste" function does nothing (although it might be inserting a single space character).   This failure to "Paste" also exists in the TextEdit app.
    In Numbers the problem exists both for text blocks and for cells.
    This has happened in the past, but seemed to be corrected with a Restart of the OS.   Not this time.

  • Cut and paste not working in iphoto

    I can't cut and paste between events in iPhoto any longer.  i tried flagging a photo but the add flag item to event was grayed out. how can you move photos between events.  i tried dragging but page didn't scroll very well so was a little inefficient

    I see, in the "Photos" album I cannot cut and paste either. I can cut the photo from the event, but not paste it into a different event, because It is impossible to select the event for pasting in the Photos album.
    @ Terence Devlin, is pasting into an event supposed to work inside the Photos album?
    I can paste into an event in the Events view. And dragging and dropping between events is working well in the Photos view.
    i tried flagging a photo but the add flag item to event was grayed out.
    This cannot work in Photos view, because "Add flagged items to the selected event" requires an event to be selected, an in the Photos album is no selected event. You can create a new event from the flagged photos and drag this event on top of the event where you want them to go.
    So, I am afraid you will have to switch between the Photos album and the Events view to move your photos around.

  • Cut and Paste not working on Mountain Lion

    I downloaded Mountain Lion on the first day of its release, upgrading from Lion. Ever since then My cut and paste functions havent been working. It would function after the first 10 to 15 minutes, but soon after that time passes, I am unable to copy/cut paste anything either via the mouse or typing commands. This is very frustrating. I would have to shtdown and turn the computer back on just to get the function back temporarily. Does anyone have a solution for this?!
    Also, I just updated my Mountain Lion to 10.8.1 as of yesterday, and its still happening!!
    Lastly, I verified permissions and reinstalled the OS, still happening...

    1. Open Disk Utility and repair the permissions
    2. Go to Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences and delete com.apple.dock.plist

  • Pages iPad Cut and Paste not working right in latest update

    First -- everything on my iPad is up to date with iOS and Pages update...and everything has been rebooted and works just fine...
    BUT -- new problem...anytime I select a paragraph and cut and paste, it places it in a text box, resizes it, and inserts this text box into the document where I paste. That then remains as it's own section and not a part of the larger document.
    Did something go wrong? Did I miss some setting to turn off? I don't want anything I copy and paste to be put in its own text box, merely to paste it into the same document in a different place.
    What went wrong here?....

    If you want to paste text in with other text, you need the cursor/caret to be in text when you paste (keyboard should be up on screen). Sounds like you do not have the keyboard up, so it's creating a new text box for you.

  • Cut and Paste not working for specific client?

    Gui Gurus,
    I have recently upgraded some users to Gui 710 Patch 8.  However on one users install, she cannot copy and paste the entire content of a cell.  For example:
    If she copies aaaabbbbbccccdddd, she'll only get aaaabbbbbcccc.  For some reason it gets truncated.
    I have tried this on my identical install and can do the exact same cut and paste for the same input field fine.  I did a reinstall of her Gui, but that did not help.  I checked her user parameters and could not find anything to alter this behavior.  I tried "Quick Cut and Paste" also, and that yielded the same incorrect results.  I did not see anything else in the Options / I18N that would alter this?
    Any ideas where to look?
    Thanks,
    Jeff Martens
    Basis Admin.

    Martin,
    Thanks for the reply.  I did try the cut & paste option in the expert tab and that did not work.
    I am copying from a normal user input field to another input field.  This is not static text that you would have to CTRL+Y to copy.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Copy and paste stopped working...

    My Copy and Paste function works on and off, sometimes not at all.
    The problem has been around for months.
    I have a 2008 13inch Macbook Pro
    running Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5
    HELP!!
    If it is at all relevant, frequently, and for way longer than my Copy & Paste has been malfunctioning, my keyboard randomly jumps th cursor position...

    If you haven't already done so, log out or restart the computer and see whether there's an improvement.

  • Cut and paste not working in (total)finder

    Hi all
    I have noticed an issue with my cut and paste option on my macbook pro since I upgraded to Mountain Lion OS. I used to be able to cut items from a folder and paste into another folder quite efficiently. It's fine when I copy and paste, however this means I need to go back and delete the items I have pasted.
    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi CT and meera404,
    I am having the same problem of not being able to perform "command-x" and "command-v" (cut & paste) in Finder on Mac OS X 10.8.2.
    When I go into the Finder menu options and click on the "Edit" tab menu, it appears that the "Cut" button is not available and appears as disabled.
    Any suggestions on how I can enable this?
    Thanks in advance for the feedback!

  • Cut and paste not working on linux?

    Hi,
    I am a beginning user of Jdeveloper. I noticed that I can cut and paste to and from my windows applications to my Jdev on linux, but is unable to cut and paste from emacs or xterm to and from Jdev on the same linux box. Is there a simple configuration somewhere that I forgot to set?
    Now, I must use my windows notepad as a middleman to do cut and paste...really inconvenient.
    Thanks,
    Gigi

  • Copy and Paste Stops working across the Mac OS X

    Recently I have been using my machine to connect to Windows XP machines using the RDC program (Mac equivilant of mstsc.exe) that Mircosoft provides.
    Whilst swtiching between applications on the host OS (Mac OS X 10.8) I found that my copy and paste functionaility across the whole OS appeared to stop working. A restart of the whole OS seem to resolve the problem, but when I dug a little deeper I found that it appears that once I terminated the RDC program the copy and paste functionailty came back. This also include any extented copy and paste functions within the Mac OS X eg, screenshots (cmd+ctrl+shift+3) and partial screenshots (cmd+ctrl+shift+4 very cool use it all the time).
    I just thought I'd add this issue to the Support forums in case other came across this problem, just one of those gotachas worth noting.
    Cheers
    Steve

    My keyboard stopped working and I recently installed a RDC program also.  I will try to uninstall it and see if that is the main source of the issue.   I will report back my findings for everyone else..

  • Copy and paste stopped working in photoshop CC

    I've been using Photoshop CC since march and this is a new issue. Not previously a problem until today.
    When I select and area to copy, from a JPEG or photoshop PSD photograph, and make a new file to paste it into, the new file comes up the same size as the clipboard contents, as it is meant too, but photoshop will no  longer allow me to paste. The selection EDIT, Paste is still there in black, not greyed out. I temporarily fixed it by restarting my computer and it worked until I closed Photoshop down again and reopened it, problem is back...what is going on?
    Is it to do with preferences and how do I change them to fix this?
    the only thing I've changed recently was telling JPEG files to use photoshop as the default programme to open up in my computer. I changed this because Bridge was no longer showing photoshop as an option when you rightclick an image and chose which file to use to open it. The fix was to close Bridge, chose a jpeg and change the default to photoshop to open it.
    I'm running windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
    any help recieved with thanks....

    Thanks again,I did manage to delete the preferences using your method above. but again, copy and paste using PSD files still not resolved.
    Copy and paste works for PNG GIFF JPEG files but not for PSD
    OK thanks to Curt Y, I suggest the solution is to do the preferences first, then the purging.
    I went back and purged the clipboard again after resetting the preferences and now it appears to be fixed.
    thank you

  • Office 2010 - Copy, Cut, and Paste not working

    Firstly, I am on a corporate domain and most of our users are using Windows 7 with the Office 2010 suite, both of which contain the most current updates. My problem is that some users are unable to copy and paste from one application to another.
    For instance, User A is unable to copy or cut cells from Excel by either right-clicking and selecting the option, or by keyboard shortcuts and then pasting into another area of the same document or any other document like notepad. User
    B, cannot complete the same operation in Outlook from email to email or from email to lets say, Word.
    However, and it's a big HOWEVER, none of this happens while the browser is closed. I have seen this with all three of the major browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. So all functionality comes back with the copy and paste once the browser
    is closed, and if you reopen the browser the problem reappears as if the browser takes over the clipboard.
    If anyone has a solution or suggestion your feedback would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kris

  • Copy and paste stops working in OS10.8

    I am on OS10.8.4 running on a 2010 Macbook Pro (2.53 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB Ram).  While working on my laptop with several windows or programs open I will eventually loose the function of Copy-Paste, and click-drag.  To get these functions to work properly I have to close everything and restart the laptop.  This did not happen using 10.7.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Sometimes this is caused by a third party software conflict, either some app you are running, or some other program running behind the scenes.  To help pin down this possibility you can check whether this behavior occurs when running in a different user account (e.g., Guest)  and when starting up in Safe Mode.

  • Cut and Paste and other things do not work in 1.3.1_01 or higher.

    I develop a tool that uses an Swing based, applet UI that is compiled using JDK1.1.8 and is distributed to our customers. To enable cut and paste we have the customer choose to trust the applet and in JRE and Plug-In level 1.3.1 everything worked fine. We are now getting several differet problems, including cut and paste not working and URLs that nolonger resolve properly, when customers try to use 1.3.1_01 or higher.

    cut and paste in JTextComponents requires signed Applets... (no problems with console Java applications)
    a alternate solution is to use the old TextArea instead of a JTextArea
