How Can I Maintain Layout when Copying/Pasting from Web to Pages?

Whenever I try to copy and paste from a webpage that lays out text appearing to be in two columns (such as at http://nfs.sparknotes.com/hamlet/page_2.epl) using Firefox or Safari into either Pages or Word 2004, I lose the page layout. Instead of placing the text left and right, it alternately places one line from the left above another from the right.
I try to Paste and Match Style but that doesn't help. Does anyone have a suggestion? Is it my browser settings? Word processor preferences? One of my students is able to do it properly using, ugh, a PC, so I know it's possible with one of those things.
Thanks.

Other than taking a picture of it (a "screenshot") and pasting it into Pages as an image, you cannot. What you see in a browser has very little to do with what the source actually looks like -- the source is just text with the intended display instructions imbedded. That's why the text lines viewed in a narrow browser window will break differently than when viewed in a wide browser window. When you copy from the browser window, you'll likely get the text string without any of the formatting html tags.

While you really can't make a mono track true stereo, you can make it play to both left and right channels. Pan the track to center (0), or you can duplicate the track and pan one copy left (-1) and the other right (1) ... or select both tracks in the Timeline (original and copy) and hit Option l (lowercase L) to make them a stereo pair.

Since update, cannot copy/paste from web to doc.

I highlight text from internet, then copy (either by key command or right click), then go to paste in a word doc. and the text does not paste into the doc. Copy and paste from website to website does work - only fails when I try to copy paste from the web to a doc. In fact, the word doc will remember the last thing I copied from a non-web source and paste that.

Note - I have restarted with add-ons disabled, I have restarted in safe mode. I have made sure that about:config setting for javascript and clipboard are enabled.

Strange characters when copy/paste from Word

Hi,
I have in Word u2018hellou2019 and when I paste it in the Notes of IR and save it, it turns into 018hello 019 so the apostrophes transform into these strange characters.
I checked with Notepad, Excel and Wordpad and this issue does not occur, only for Word.
Do you know why this happens ?
It should be a Word/IE setting as this issue does not occur on a Terminal Server. Only on usersu2019
workstations.
Thank you

Hi Shiva,
Some styles for font of rich text aren't be kept when I copy the content from Word 2013 and paste into a wiki page from SharePoint 2010/2013(even SharePoint 2007 like this
post) site as same as yours, it looks like a limitation.
As a workaround, we can publish the Word content as a Blog article in SharePoint site, then copy the content from the blog page to the needed SharePoint page, it will keep the rich text content format, you can have a try.

Slightly distorted aspect-ratio (and missing alpha channel) when copy/paste from Photoshop

Maybe this is an old topic (but I didn't find anything on google or this forum):
When I copy images from Photoshop to Flash, the aspect ratio of the bitmap gets distorted. A 728x90 Bitmap becomes 727.6x90 (and so on...). The dpi is set on exactly 72 on both programs. Is there any way to JUST get a 1:1 pixel copy? (except using another program like Irfanview as a "man-in-the-middle")
Although I selected "32 bit color w/alpha" in the clipboard settings of Flash, the alpha channel seems to get discarded when copying from Photoshop. Shouldn't it at least work with Photoshop? I mean, it's an Adobe product after all and maybe the most commonly used together with Flash.
Would just be nice if a copy-paste between PS and FL was an easier thing.
I know there can also be a pixel-aspect somewhere (like used for video productions and wide-screen), but I didn't find settings for that anywhere.
I still use Flash Professional CS5.0

I'm on windows7 with CS5.5 and transparency and size are copied over just fine. You answered what would be my first question, 72dpi. How about the image mode. Are you using RGB 8bit?
I've had lots of issues with the OS not handling transparency very well also, such right-click on an image on a website that you know is a PNG and has transparency, then paste it into photoshop, the transparency isn't saved.
The route that always works (but is a PITA) is of course to save it as a PNG with transparency and just import it.

Automatic downsizing of an image when copy-paste from .doc to .docx in word 2010?

Hello,
I was changing the headers of a series of word documents (some .doc, some .docx) and, in spite of inserting the image from a file in each one, i just copied and pasted the image from one to another after a first insertion.
My source image was a 300dpi rgb jpeg: i noticed that, when coping it from a .doc document to a .docx document the image automatically downsizes to 150dpi and becomes a png; Is there a reason for it? Is there something I am doing wrong? Where can I eventually
control that setting?
Many thanks!

Garbled text when copy-pasted from a pdf document in Preview

I have this PDF document which I created in NeoOffice. When I copy some text from it, then paste it somewhere (or just go to Finder>Edit>Show Clipboard) I see garbled text. Or, if I go into the search field within Preview and type a word which I know exists in the PDF, it doesn't find it. But if I copy-paste it from the PDF document window into the search field, the copied term appears garbled in the search field itself, but I do get search results.
This happens only with this particular document, which I myself produced. No password/encryption or anything weird; just a straightforward print job from within NeoOffice.
Any clues? Many thanks.

happens to me all the time in preview, copying something that I need to paste, like a URL. Quitting and relaunching usually solves it, but now that won't work on the text I am copying today.

How to preserve row heights when copy/pasting in Numbers 3.2.2?

I've created an invoice in Numbers with different row heights and column widths. When I copy a series of rows and then paste them on a new row, all the formatting is there except all the rows where I paste are all the same heights. Do I need to manually re-adjust every single row or is there some way to preserve the row heights when pasting. Thanks anyone.

VR,
When I try to duplicate the problem you are describing, I get the behavior you are wishing for. Sorry, there must be something going on that you aren't including in your conditions statement.

How can I use the windows copy/paste function programaticaly in FormsDev

I want to put some text into the clipboard or get the clipboard into a field with PL-SQL.
Have someone the solution ?
Thanks.

Hi
You mention Forms Developer - check out the built-in Forms functions SELECT_ALL, COPY_REGION, CUT_REGION and PASTE_REGION for the kind of functionality you're describing.
These functions would allow you, for example on the push of a button in the form, to select the contents of a text item and copy it to the clipboard for pasting into another program such as MS Word.

Desperate for help! indd crashing when copying/pasting from illustrator

i have cs2; updated programs for indesign and illustrator; on my new imac
i have a bunch of small graphics -- logos, and line drawings -- that i need to place into indd.
they have been scanned and traced in illustrator.
i have copied and then pasted them into indd. HOWEVER INDD crashes immediately over and over. i've tried copying and pasting them from ai into indd into blank documents -- once again crash.
I NEED TO GET THIS PROJECT DONE! yikes.
what can i do to prevent crashes???
AND -- big question -- if i save them in ai. and place them into indd -- i have white boxes around each graphic which I DO NOT WANT. that's why i was copying and pasting to begin with. Are there ways to save graphics and place them into indd without these white boxes around them. I'm open to other formats -- and not embedding -- but need to get rid of the box.
at one point i got a message saying memory was full. now it all just crashes.
please help anyone and everyone. i'll be indebted to you!

ok; i am able to get the objects to show up without the white box when doing this!!!!!
THANK you for that suggestion!!!!!!
but what about copying and pasting?? isn't that supposed to work between indesign/illustrator????

How can I use JAVA to copya file from a location to another location?

Hello all,
I am planning to design a web page (let say an HTML has a form that post fields to a jsp page) that allow me to select a file and then copy it to another location like what we see in email attachement.
Is the any related java class that i can use for this matter or ready JavaBean?
Thanks in advance

jspSmartUpload
look for package named com.jspsmart.upload.
Very easy to use to pull a file from a person's pc up to where the form is posted to. You will need to setup your form to type to be multi-part form. Use an input type of file to generate the file browse button.

How can I remove google custom search bar from about:newtab page

When I open Firefox or a new tab I have it set to about:newtab which is great and all. Just recently I noticed a Google search bar on the new tab page though, that it immediately sets my cursor to. I prefer typing in the normal address bar at top. If I don't think to take that extra tedious step to click on the address bar before typing it opens to Google Custom Search Engine. Which does not have the images, maps, etc tabs along top. Making a simple task of researching something or other purpose just that much more annoying to do, because I'll have to type into the address bar anyways.
So I was hoping there is a way to remove this annoying Google Custom Search Bar from my about:newtab?
Or at the least make my cursor start in the address bar, not the Google Custom Search Bar.
This is a screen-cap of the Search Bar. http://gyazo.com/d75ccdea9b9d0bb4a3d347664be73771

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

How can I bend an object to come from behind a page?

I am trying to take the branch below and give it a "wrap around" effect so it looks like it is coming from behind the background.
Very much like this:
Are there any tools I could use to take the existing image and give it that appearance or would I have to manually draw in the effect?

Take the blue background and put it on its own layer, so the branch is a seperate layer from the background. Now you can scale the background or apply a mask to it.
For the branch just apply a drop shadow style to that layer, play with the opacity, position and the highlight/shadow values.

How to Hide Acrobat Reader When Printing PDFs From Web App

We have a web application that prints pdfs. Here's the line of code that prints the pdfs:
win32api.ShellExecute(0, "print", filename, None, ".", 0)
When the pdf prints from our web application, Adobe Acrobat opens and we don't need it to open. Is there a way to get the pdf to print without Acrobat interupting the user?

Use standard VB/Windows features to minimize the app.
