How do I copy and paste Chinese text into InDesign CC?

I am having difficulty copying and pasting pre-translated Chinese text into InDesign.
Many of the characters are coming up as boxes in the majority of Chinese fonts offered in CC.
马修斯旅游大巴租赁公司
爱尔兰和英国之旅
translates as
Font used above is Apple LiSung
I have tried to import via Apple Text Edit and format stripped the text.

That's happening because you have Simplified Chinese text, and are attempting to use a Traditional Chinese font.
Ellis suggests a well-made Adobe font with Trad support. If you pull down your font dropdown and scroll towards the end, you'll find fonts split into categories according to language support. The one with Apple LiSung is the Simplified category, and the one with Adobe Fangsong is the Trad category. Pick any font from that category - but know that the style of font you pick in Chinese means as much as the style of font you pick in English, and if you don't know what the conventions are, you may well choose one not entirely suited to your audience. (One of my translators likened the Chinese font choices of monolingual Anglo designers to "seeing the body text of my How To Use Your Health Care Benefits brochure laid out in Rosewood.")

How do I copy and paste from Word into Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

using Windows 7 Professional SP1, Microsoft Office 365 (Office 2013).
I can copy the text within a word document, without a problem.
However, the paste options are greyed out and "Ctrl"+"V" does not work.
Am I missing something, as I can't work out how to copy the text from word, to use as a basis for my photo shop document.

Hey, guys. I am a complete noob to Elements 13. I need to get something done relatively quickly and I need to learn how to copy and paste from a Word document. How do I do this?
Copy the text in WORD to place it on the clipboard
Open PSE in Expert tab
Open your picture file
Get the type tool out of the tool box, click an insertion point
Go to Edit>paste
You should see two layers in the layers palette: background layer, and layer with the text.

HOW CAN I COPY AND PAST A LINK INTO/ONTO A FORM???

I use acrobat X and have created froms to fill out and email to clients so they can review differnt real estate properties and i want to past a link at the bottom of the form. When i receive an email alert about a new property there is a hyperlink in the emailand this is the one i would like to copy and past onto tthe PDF form described above. i do not want to nake a permanent link on the form as the info will change with every email i receive. if i copy the hyperlink into a text boc it only comes up as text. i can't believe it is so hard to do this. If i copy the link into word or excel and then save the file as a pdf the link will work but then i can't use the form. OMG please help!!

Acrobat is not an authoring program like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. So extensive editing is not possible.
How do you want the link to look?
There is a link tool that can insert a link around a location.
You can create a button form field and customize the displayed text and create an an action to execute a link.
You can create a text field and enter text into the field and create a mouse up action to execute a link actions.
Links in PDF can do much more than open a web page.
As noted you can create a form and replace the content layer and retain all the form fields and actions.
If you convert a Word document to a PDF make sure you set the PDF Maker conversion settings include the conversion of web links to interactive links.

Copying and pasting Arabic text in InDesign CS4 ME

We have an arabic document in pdf and word formats and we have InDesign CS4 ME and we are trying to copy and paste text from the pdf/word document but the font isn't transferring, there is nothing only boxes. We have turned on the arabic keyboard and that didnt help either. Working on a mac.
Can anyone help us? What is the solution?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
We have turned on the arabic keyboard and that didnt help either.
Well, why should it. Unless you are typing Arabic, that won't do anything at all. Copy-and-paste is not typing.
If copy-and-paste does not copy the font along so you get the pinky squares in InDesign, it only means that your default InDesign font does not support those characters. Select your text and then choose another font -- one you are sure of contains Arabic.
If you still get pink squares, it's more likely the text in the PDF is not encoded properly, and in that case no-one can't help you -- but it ought to work directly from Word.

Copy and paste of texts into Smartforms

Hi,
I have a design document that contains label texts for a Russian form. The characters look fine in the document, but when they copied and pasted into Smartforms, the characters turn into question marks.
Any help is rewarded and appreciated.

Hi
That may be due to Unicode problem
Make the Texts conversion using SE63 and copy and see
See that the Russian language should be activated in the system to accept that language.

How can I copy and paste (styled) text in JTextPane/JEditorPane?

I have a styled text in my editor and I use the copy and the paste action in JTextPane, but i am not able to paste again with previous text formatting(it inserts same text, but with logical attributes - formatting at caret/inserted/ position)

Copy and paste from word to InDesign - foreign characters

Hello,
I have a Word file using foreign typefaces, Chinese, Korean etc. I have the fonts on my machine because the word document shows them OK..but, if I try to copy and paste the text into InDesign, those characters either don't show at all, or you just get the pink color with the little gray squares...Does anyone out there have any tips for how to handle this type of situation.
Thanks!!

Ooooh, okay. I retract my finger-waggling cautionary statement.
It could be one of a number of different things. I almost always place instead of copy/paste, but I don't have any difficulty copying & pasting complex script text of any sort in any of my various versions and platforms. I'd figure that there are two different possible routes - either there's something about the styling or clipboard that is doing this (meaning that it could be unpacked exactly the same way as any font drop, no complex-script knowledge necessary) or there's something about the non-Latin text itself that is causing the problem. Take a look at the clipboard settings (Edit -> Preferences -> Clipboard Handling) to see if changing those settings resolves the issue, by e.g. changing the settings to raw text.
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest posting a lot more detail. Platform, versions of Word and Indy, the particular fonts that are failing, a description of how styles are set up in the current Word and Indy docs, perhaps a sample of the Word and Indy docs zipped up and made available for testing (e.g. if I can successfully copy/paste into the doc when your user can't, then there's something wrong with the user's install), and so on. Without that kind of information, the best I can do is take random guesses.

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

I want to publish a book with Blurb. They don't have Russian fonts, so I have to type the text in Russian in Notes in my iPad, send it to my e-mail box, and then open the e-mail box in Mac, and copy and paste the text into the book template of Blurbs. I don't know how to make a Russian keyboard in Mac to be able to type quickly. I asked about it in the Apple store, and they showed me how to find a Russian keyboard in the net, but it takes much time to type using a screen keyboard, and the texts also cannot be copied and pasted, when they are in Russian. They are erased when I press 'command+C", and all I have is a single letter 'c' instead. No problems with texts in English. Maybe Russian is not supported for copying and pasting?:(

Copy and paste a Text-Layer to another picture - Its not a Textlayer more

Hello,
i tried to copy a text-layer from one psd-Picture and i want to paste it into other pictures:
var dok_textebene = app.documents.getByName ("text.psd");
dok_textebene.artLayers["name of the textlayer"] .copy() ;
//chage to a other picture
app.activeDocument = otherpictureRef ;
app.activeDocument.paste ();
// this is ok, i could copy & paste the layer
// But it is not any more a text-layer
//then i tried this code to change the state of the layer to a text-layer
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT ;
But this was not aible, i get an error.
Does anybody know how i could copy and paste a text-layer ?
Thanks
realbutsch

It might be better to duplicate the text IE:
var currentDoc = app.activeDocument;
var dok_textebene = app.documents.getByName ("text.psd");
app.activeDocument = dok_textebene;
activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.artLayers.getByName('name of the textlayer');
activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate(currentDoc);

How do I copy and paste only the text from a cell?

Hi -
Every time I want to move text to a different cell, copy and paste copies all styles as well. How do I just copy and paste the text while leaving the style of the receiving cell in tact?
Thanks.

Christopher. If the alternating row color is the obstacle, I suggest selecting the table, then setting the background color to white, then check the "Alternating Row Color" check box in the Table Formatter:
Now sorting will not affect row color
