How can I copy information from Excel and Paste it into a fillable field?
I have a job site quote fillable packet that I go through when quoting a new job. I also have a fullly detailed excel sheet with all sorts of pricing and data. When I am done filling out the excel sheet, the numbers all compile into a new area that is broken down by phases of the project.
On the last page of the fillable packet I have an estimate page, a spot where I can input the pricing for each phase of the project, each individual field (there are six) then totals into a fillable field on the bottom of the page.
Currently I have to select the 6 consecutive cells in excel, open up my PDF, paste the information in a text box, then manually type in each line item.
Is there a way for me to create a field that I could paste excel sheet data in? Is there a table or some way to paste each cell into one of six text fields?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
All that should be necessary is to open the ebook, highlight what you wish to copy with the cursor (hold left click, and drag to the end of the section you wish), then either right click and choose copy OR command + c on your keyboard, then move the cursor to the desired section of your Word document, and either right click and choose paste OR command + V to paste the selection.

How can I copy text from Pages and paste as Unicode?
I notice that if I write a Pages document on my iMac (this is Pages 09 running under OSX Mavericks 10.9.1) and copy text that contains characters from the "Mac Roman" character set (like the Greek letter pi for example, and some other mathematical symbols), if I paste it into a text file on a PC (I'm running the Mac with Windows via Parallels), then these characters don't show up correctly. If they were copied as Unicode characters then I don't think the problem would exist. I thought that Pages used Unicode, but it doesn't apparently apply to stuff that gets onto the Mac clipboard. I do know that if I export a whole Pages document it is possible for it to be exported in Unicode, but I just want to copy small bits of text like mathematical formulae and paste them into Unicode-compliant applications. Is this possible? There's nothing in the Pages Preferences to suggest that it is. Is there any solution to this?
TIATom, I'm sorry I think I have wasted your time. My initial experiments seemed to show that what I was trying to do didn't work, but now it all seems to work. No idea why. I think there is a problem somewhere, but not where I thought it was. I think what may be happening is that when the Mac clipboard sees some Mac Roman text, it converts and stores it in Unicode form, so things work as long as the receiving app is Unicode aware - or Parallels is doing the job for me, or Pages is. Good if this is true. The only issue then would be that, if a program for the PC is looking for characters by their encodings, it will have to use the Unicode ones to find things, whereas the equivalent code on a Mac will have to look for the Mac Roman encodings as well as Unicode.
Just to explain, I am not using a specialised mathematical formula editor, but I do expect my user to use the math symbols easily accessible on the Mac keyboard, particularly the Greek letter pi (lower case), division sign, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, square root. The user can type text directly or paste it in from another application. On the PC side I am not using Microsoft Word but a program I'm developing that can create fields into which I can put text, similar I suppose to NotePad. Just to be able to be cross-platform, I expect users to use the built-in Windows Character Viewer or similar to make the same symbols accessible as in the Mac version.
If everyone was using Unicode the problem (if there is one) wouldn't exist.
I may well come back with a similar issue in the future, but my original issue, although the description was given in good faith, seems to be wrong. So I'm saying the problem is solved. -

How do I copy image from web and paste into Open Office Document
Whenever I choose Copy Image from Safari and then paste into open office, I only get the image url and not the image. I am sure that I am not selecting Copy Image Address.
When I copy images from my iTunes album artwork and paste into open office it works fine.
Any thoughts?I have done the same thing using Firefox and it works just fine. It seems to be an issue with Safari.

How do I copy an email link and paste it into my email?
Just got a hand-me-down MacBook Pro. I need to send an email to someone who's posted an ad on Craigslist. How do I, a) copy the link for their email; and, b) paste it into the address field of my Outlook mail?
If I just click on the email link in CL, the computer wants to direct me to some default email client, which I'm not using. So I want to copy and paste the address.
Thanks.Care to share which OS you are using?
From the OS Help menu:
Copy from one document to another
Open both documents, select the text, picture, or movie you want to copy, and then drag it to the other document.
If you can’t drag an item from a document window, select the item and choose Edit > Copy. Then click in the other document window and choose Edit > Paste. -
How can I copy text from PDF and include the source filename in the pasted selection?
I'm a biologist and frequently cut-and-paste notes from PDFs of scientific articles. I name all of the PDF articles with their PubMed ID, a short unique identifier (e.g. 19397482.pdf). When I take notes, I will select a few sentences from the PDF and then paste them into a text editor for later reference.
Can anyone suggest a method or script that would allow me to paste the copied text with the Pubmed filename included in a single action? I would want the pasted output it to look something like this, with the filename appended to the end:
Of the transcripts that were significantly different, there was a greater number of transcripts that were down-regulated in the IVC embryos (380) than the number of transcripts that were up-regulated (208). [20668257.pdf]
This would really help me to properly cite information sources during the writing process. I know there are bibliography managers that might be able to do something like this, but I prefer to read the PDF articles directly in Preview and select the text as I am reading.
Thanks very much for any suggestions / ideas.
jjwTo copy and paste in a single action:
tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
-- Get the PubMed ID:
get the title of the front window
set thePubMedID to word 1 of result
-- Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
delay 0.25 -- adjust if necessary
-- Add the PubMed ID to the contents of the clipboard:
set theNotes to the clipboard
set the clipboard to (theNotes & space & "[" & thePubMedID & ".pdf]")
end tell
tell application "Notational Velocity" to activate
tell application "System Events"
-- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the end of the Notational Velocity document
key code 125 using command down -- ⌘↓
keystroke return & return
keystroke "v" using {command down} -- ⌘V

How can you copy information from Safari into Pages
Is there a way to easily copy data, such as financial tables from Safari into Pages and maintain the integrity of the table and the data within it? When I copy and paste it comes out all misaligned and into multiple pages. The same thing happens if I try to highlight the table in Safari and drag it into Pages. Is there not a "paste special" function in Pages like there is in Microsoft??
See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5775
You can then drag the resulting image into a Pages document, and position.

Applescript to copy cells from excel and paste into numbers
Hi community! I find myself needing your assistance once again. I'm new to applescript and it's my first scripting language. I'm trying to create a script that will copy a block of cells in an excel spreadsheet with multiple sheets and paste that info (preferably with a keystroke) into a numbers template. I've written a successful script to activate Excel, go to the sheet with the info, copy it, then open a Numbers template from My Templates. The problem I can't solve on my own is how to select the right cell on the right table on the right sheet and Paste and Match Style.
Some helpful info:
-I've changed my [Command+V] keystroke in Numbers to "Paste and Match Style" because this is a very common action for me
-The Numbers template is pretty big, but does open on the correct sheet for the paste
Here's what I have so far: (sorry for the center justification, but it wasn't displaying correctly)
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
activate
set myActiveWook to "OG3.9.xls"
select worksheet "Blank1"
select range "E8:E32" of worksheet "Blank1"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
select worksheet "Inputs"
end tell
tell application "Numbers"
activate
set the templatenames to the name of every template
set thistemplatename to "PQ10a" as string
make new document with properties ¬
{document template:template "PQ10a"}
end tell
end tell
From here I was trying this, but couldn't get it to work. it would paste the data the first time into the script editor, then in the middle of the template if run a second time.
tell application "Numbers"
activate
set the templatenames to the name of every template
set thistemplatename to "PQ10a" as string
make new document with properties ¬
{document template:template "PQ10a"}
tell table "10" of sheet "INPUTS" of document 1
set selectrange to cell "B2"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
end tell
end tell

Thank you in advance for your help.
AshHey Priya,
The best way to do this would be by utilising the Excel Import Wizard. These help files provide a thorough explanation into their use:

How come I can't copy content in Firefox and paste it into Word and it keep it's formatting?
When I copy content off a web page in Firefox and paste it in Microsoft Word, I lose the original formatting. It works fine in IE but I'm wanting to eliminate IE but I can't at this time because of this problem....
That is a problem with the clipboard. Firefox now places more formats on the clipboard and some software selects the wrong format.

How can I copy a web image and paste into iMessages?
I have recently purchased a new iPhone that uses the iOS7. Previously, I was able to copy images from the web and paste into iMessages. When I try this now, all that is pasted is the link. Is there a way around this?
When I tap and hold the image, I don't see an option to "Save" it. I get the following options:
Open, Open in New Page, Add to Reading Lisa, and Copy. When I choose "copy and then go to paste it, it just pastes the web link as you mentioned. Am I missing something?
(Thanks for your response, by the way)! -

How can I copy documents from a Sharepoint On Premises library to a Sharepoint Online library and at the same time preserving their metadata?
I use the Open Explorer Windows to drag and drop the files, but the metadata are not copied. Thanks.To maintain the metadata you'll need to use one of the third party tools that does this kind of migration. Metalogix has a product with a free trial that we have used before. (Don't remember whether the free version maintains metadata or not).
