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.
Chris

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

How can I copy and Paste in the newly converted PDF to WORD?

How can I copy and paste in the newly converted document? I can save it to any Word format and cut within it, but not paste what I just cut or copy and paste.

Try copying all of the content in your Word document to a new document, then see if you can selectively copy and paste.
Let us know if that helps!

How do I copy and paste an address list from an Excel file to an email on my iPad2?

How do I copy and paste a gradient color from one document and then use the gradient on another document?

I am making business cards. On the back of the cards there are two lines with gradients. Below is a card with a magenta gradient. I want to select both lines and change the magenta gradient to the orange gradient from the file below. How do I do this? (I do not want to copy a paste the orange lines and then move them over the magenta ones.) I just want to select the magenta lines and change their color to the orange gradient. This will insure absolute alignment. I want to do repeat the process with several other gradients too. Thank you.

David,
As I (mis)understand it, you may:
1) Copy one orange gradient path to the magenta gradient path document;
2) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to None;
3) Select the orange gradient path;
4) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to Gradient.
That should give you the desired replacement. For multiple use of the same gradient, you may consider a gradient swatch.

Copy and paste user formatted text from Filemaker to...

I need to copy user formatted text from Filemaker to any text program that will maintain the formatting. Subsequently it will be going to an rtf. I have limited knowledge of Filemaker and Applescript (and I am not sure that Applescript is the right approach). This is a repetitive process with frequently changing data and users who use italics on a word one day and then decide to bold it the next day. I have created an Applescript that copies and pastes the text into either TextEdit or Microsoft Word but the user formatting is always lost. It is frustrating that I can use Apple-C and Apple-V and the formatting is maintained. But I need to automate this process. Here is a copy of my humble attempt at an Applescript to do the job. it copies the text but not the formatting.
tell application "FileMaker Developer"
open "MacintoshHD:Users:stuart:Desktop:Practice.fp7"
set the clipboard to record 2 of table 1 of database 1 as styled text
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
set the text of document 1 to (get the clipboard as text) as string
end tell
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
set myRange to create range active document start 0 end 0
insert text (get the clipboard) at myRange
end tell

I'm not familiar with 'styled text'- which does not mean much other than it's on a very long list of things I don't know. But I do know you can cut several steps out here:
If your script works so far then you can clean it up:
tell application "FileMaker Developer"
open "MacintoshHD:Users:stuart:Desktop:Practice.fp7"
set mytext to record 2 of table 1 of database 1 as styled text
end tell
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
set myRange to create range active document start 0 end 0
insert text (mytext) at myRange
end tell
Also try:
set mytext to contents of record 2 of table 1 of database 1 as styled text

How can I copy and paste a caption for several pictures that are all the same?

I'm trying to understand the process of importing, labeling and organizing pictures I'm importing from my iPhone into iPhoto 11.
So far I am importing only pictures that relate to one another; ie taken at the same event. I have 18 pictures from one hike. I'd like to label each of those pictures the same; ie "hike at Bear Creak 2/15." Can I copy and paste the same label to all 18 pictures? How would I copy and paste?
There are lots of You Tube videos on the subject of iPhoto and that's how I learn best. If you know of a really basic one to watch I'd appreciate it.
I think I have to take a class at the Apple Store on this basic organizing because it's really escaped me in the 9 months I've had this Mac (switched from PC.)
Thanks,
Ginny

Ginny,
select all 18 photos at once in iPhoto on your Mac and then use the menu entry "Photos > Batch Change"
That will change the titles or descriptions of all photos at once.

How can I copy and paste a pdf form onto my Mavericks Clipboard. I only see word-wrapped text.

How can I copy and paste a pdf onto my Mavericks Clipboard. I only see word-wrapped text.

Yes, Thank you for using the term Place. You moved my focus off the clipboard, and Place set me back on course. Somewhere, the terms Copy and Paste need to be tagged to Place and Export. I'm a database designer who only uses Illustrator for forms the database fills. My need isn't yet met, but the rest should come with reading the right references. Thanks Larry!

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

The edit button disappears when I have the link window open, so how do I copy and paste address for email link?

When I want to create a link to a web page in an email, I click the "link" icon and a window appears asking for the address. But simultaneously, the "edit" function and all other functions disappear from the Firefox toolbar. With no edit, how can I copy and paste the address? I have tried highlighting the address and dragging it into the window, but it won't drop into the window.
I have resorted to copying the address to a document and then pasting it into the link window, but there must be a less cumbersome way.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden. 
You can make the Menu bar visible via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options. 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

How do I copy and paste an image form the internet to Keynote. I have done this successfully in the past by selecting copy and then paste by using the right click function and now am unable to do so. I am thinking it is an outdate OS problem...not sure.

How do I copy and paste an image from the internet to Keynote. I have done so successfully in the paste by using the copy and paste right click functions but am unable to do so now. That was about a year ago that I attempted that I was able to do this. Thank you for your help.

Some images are copy-protected.
If all else fails, you can make a screen shot of the image:
With the image visible in your browser, press CMD-Shift-4 and your cursor will change to crosshairs.
Position the cross hairs at one of the corners of what you want to copy and drag to the opposite corner, then release the mouse. An copy of the image will be saved to your desktop.
You can now edit and use this image.
Be sure to respect copyrights.

Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. How do I enable this?

I am trying to make edits to a website for our company. Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. Instead, I have to use control+c and control+v which doesn't always work. How do I enable the feature to be able to use the icons?

Are those toolbar buttons grayed?
Do the entries in the Edit menu look enabled if there is text selected or text on the clipboard?
