Eliminating double spacing from pasted text in e-mails

I've sometimes had the problem of cutting and pasting text from a website into a new e-mail and having the whole e-mail then be double-spaced. How does one change the line spacing in e-mails?
Thanks!

I tried pasting it into AppleWorks, and it appears without the spacing. When I pasted it back into the e-mail, the spacing reappeared. When I deleted the line return between the two lines in AppleWorks so that they appeared on the same line, then added a line return back in it looked the same, but when I pasted it back into Mail, the spacing disappeared.
What's weird about this is that when I select show invisibles in AppleWorks, and there's only a single line return between the lines. How is there managing to be an extra secret line return? Also, why is it that those extra line returns recur in the same e-mail with any new text I add rather than being limited to the pasted text?

Is there a way to prevent or lock a user from pasting text from another source into a text field in Acrobat Reader?

We require them to enter their own text into the field. The form was created in LiveCycle Designer and is accessed by users in Reader. Thanks

You can't prevent someone from pasting, but you can use a script to check if more than one character was pasted at a time, and prevent it if it's true. This would be a reasonable alternative it seems, but you should post this question in the LiveCycle Designer forum if you need help with the script.

Double spacing issue when pasting text from Pages

I have a Pages document with text that frequently paste into a message that is generated by the Dropbox iOS app when I choose the e-mail option within Dropbox iOS app.
I'm trying to figure out why when I paste the Pages text above the defaut Dropbox message the spacing between paragraphs is fine, but when I paste it below the default text generated by the Dropbox iOS app when e-mailing a link to a file, the spaces between paragraphs is doubled.
It seem to be some phantom formatting in my Page document beause I tested by pasting a long e-mail below the Dropbox text and it's still single spaced. For some reason my Pages text goes from single spaced to double spaced when I paste it below that default message that Dropbox iOS generates when you attempt to e-mail a file link.

Thanks, but this feature doesn't seem to work in iOS.
The Pages document was created in Pages for OSX, but stored in iCloud. I usually e-mail links using the Dropbox iOS app and copy text from Pages iOS and want to paste into the e-mail created by Dropbox iOS. When I paste the text below the Dropbox link, the paragraphs are double spaced.

Copy and paste from MS Word to Apple Mail - line spacing

Folks:
When I copy and paste single-spaced text from MS Word into the body of an email message in Apple Mail, it pastes in as double spaced text. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I can't seem to find how to change line spacing in Apple Mail. Thanks.

went into the word doc, removed all tabs (even if not using tabs there were some hidden) and paragraph formatting and it pasted in fine... my doc was a single paragraph...
BUT having fixed that I found another doc which underlines the text when pasting it into mail!!!! havn;t solved that!

Captivate 7 Widget Copy/Pasting Text Creates Double Text

I'm using Captivate 7 on a Mac OS X.9 machine and every time we use a Insert>Interaction and have to paste text from either a Word doc or plain text document the text double pastes into the Interaction Widget. This causes issues because its difficult to edit text in the small widget area. Also, once pasted the Widget removes all the paragraph spacing.

We understand not to copy text from Word which is why we copy it from Word, paste it into a plain text document to remove all formatting, then paste it into the Interaction. It still pastes in double. This has happened in the following types and it is only a MAC issue. We can replicate it on two Macs in the office but not on any Windows machines.
We do use Full Screen but its still small and I have a very large screen.
Accordian, Tabs, Process Circle, Timeline, Circle Matrix, Pyramid (both), Glossary. These are the ones we have used/tested.

I can't paste text from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.

Hello everyone,
Since a few days I'm not able to paste texts from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.
I never have problems with Photoshop CC before.
I have the new iOS Yosemite installed in my macbook.
It's really frustrating, can someone help please?

I have basically the same setup, except on a Mac Mini. I am unable to reproduce your problem. Double check that you are copying the original text in the first place, and then make sure you are pasting into a text layer as you cannot paste into a regular Photoshop layer -- nothing will happen. Create a text layer by clicking on a regular layer with the text tool, the T in the tool box. The new layer will show up in the layers panel identified by the first line of the text.

How to copy and paste text from a web site viewed in Chrome using the Xperia z3v?

I have searched high and low for a way to copy and paste text from a web site in Chrome using the Xperia z3v. I've tried a long tap, a double tap, a triple tap - nothing works. I am able to select text, copy and paste it in a Word doc, however. There must be some way to do this on a web site in Chrome. I'm certain I am not trying to select text that is really an image. I am trying to copy text. Here is the link where I'm trying to get the text. It's a recipe.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/mushroom-pilaf.html#!

Copy/paste text from Word doc or PDF to Robohelp

Bolded words, indentions, paragraphs, line spacing, font, and
text size amongst other things are lost when I do a simple
copy/paste... Any way to relieve this?
Thanks

Hi
I'd like to answer this in a slightly different way..
It's a good idea to format anything you paste into RH in RH
using paragraph styles etc. Hardcoded formatting won't be under
stylesheet control which is very bad news.
In fact I generally paste stuff from a word doc into notepad
first to remove any formatting soI have "clean" text to begin with.
That way you ensure consistency when styles are updated etc
as well maintaining consistency with what's already there.

How can I move from the text body to the inspector in voiceover - need to change spacing

I want to get to the inspector (for formatting text in Pages), but cannot seem to find the correct keystrokes. After marking text, I would like to double space (or go from double spacing back to single spacing).

You're welcome
If those pages are publicly accessible without the need to log in and authenticate then you can post a link and I will see if I can come up with some code for [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] or [http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css userContent.css]

Highlighting the text by changing the "character fill color" with double-spacing?

Highlighting the text by changing the "character fill color" doesn't seem to go well with double-spacing.
Has anyone been aware of this issue?
Try double-spacing the text you highlighted. What's up with this?
This is so annoying and frustrating. I've been trying to do both of them for like 2-3 hours.
You CAN do both, of course, but if you double-space the highlighted text, it just creates this huge highlighted part (it highlights the space between the two lines!) below the actual text.
Anyone help me pleeeeeeeease.

In Pages v5.2.2, taking Baskerville Regular 12 pt, and double-spacing it with character fill color does produce a nasty effect. With View > Show Rulers, I looked where the lines of text lined up on the vertical scale.
Then I changed the Spacing selector from Lines to Between. Now, just the text had the character fill color, but the line height had increased visually downward. With the between setting, line height is changed to points, and indicates 27 pt. If you adjust this value to 16 pt, the second line of double-spacing will realign with where it was before the between change, while retaining discrete line character fill color.
Before: Spacing set to Lines, and 2.0 - Double.
After: Spacing set to Between, and 16 pt

ID CS4 slow after pasting text from MS Word

Each time I paste text from a Word document into my ID CS4 document, ID begins to run very slowly. I can't even type properly. Has anyone else seen this?
I have fixed this problem by copying all the text and pasting in the a new document (I thought the document was possibly corrupted). This fixed the problem, but it has happened multiple times now. Much of my information comes from engineers' word documents, so this is not convenient.

The best I can tell, it is related to the cross references, and that it happened after pasting was coincedental. It could have been that pasting made a cross referenced section move to another page, so it was trying to update.
The cross references are a little buggy:
EVERY time I create a cross ref from the cross ref menu (in the cross ref window), ID CS4 (with all patches) crashes. If I create them from the Text menu (at the top), it doesn't crash.
If you have a large number of cross refs in a doc, it becomes slow.
When slowness occurs, I have found that updating the cross refs and then resolving all errors in the cross ref window usually clears it up.

How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
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.
Thanks.

How do I cut and paste text from a Word doc to my yahoo email?

I am suddenly unable to cut and paste from a Word document into the body of my yahoo email. I never had this problem before, but recently trying to paste my resume into the site 4entertainmentjobs.com, I ran into trouble. I followed your instructions and found my profile folder, but there was no user.js file in there. I created one in text edit and replaced mozilla.org with 4entertainmentjobs.com, but it still didn't work. Today I tried to go back and put Mozilla back in, but I still cannot get it to work. Then I downloaded your add-on "allow clipboard". That did not work either.

How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3? Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste... It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes. Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
Seriously, am I missing something? I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
Anyone else have this issue?

Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create. So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
Thoughts? Solutions?
I am running 3.4.3 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.3
