How do I copy/paste Japanese characters from Word to ID CS5.5?

I'm using ID CS5.5 as my layout program and helping my girlfriend lay out a children's book she's working on. She's a Spanish professor at a local university. So far, we've done the text in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German. But she also wants to provide the book in Japanese, so had one of her colleagues, who is from Japan, translate it and provided the translation to me in the body of an e-mail, which I copied and pasted into Word. However, when I pasted it into the InDesign layout, I get the pink boxes with the "x", indicating that particular font isn't installed. I understand this. I selected one of the Japanese characters and checked the info in Word, finding that it is CJK Unified Ideograph, character code 69D8, keyboard shortcut 69D8, Alt+x. Here is the character: 様
Here is one of the sentences in Japanese:
カルロスです。ぼくにはしんゆうがいて、ジャバリとジョッシュといいます。ぼくらはいつもいっしょにあそびます。みためはちがうけど、にているとこもたくさんあります
Is it absolutely impossible to accomplish our goal without having the particular Japanese typset installed on my system that he's using? It's showing up here and in Word. ????? I've done a search and did a lot of reading, but didn't find my exact issue, so just wanted to start fresh and hopefully get some helpful input. If this has been discussed before, I apologize, but didn't find it.
Thanks
DC

Your line breaks will most likely be incorrect if you don't turn on the Japanese Composer.
It is almost absolutely impossible to accomplish your goal without having a font - any font - installed on your system that has that glyph. However, if it's showing up in Word, than means that you must have that glyph installed, right? What font are you trying to use in InDesign? You might already know that Word will auto-substitute fonts when it encounters a missing glyph, so we really don't know what font is being used to render that one glyph. The whole sentence might be in MS Mincho but one glyph might be pulled from another font if MS Mincho doesn't have that glyph.
That being said, you're going to break it if you don't know how to set Japanese type in ID. It's not something where you can just copy text out of email and paste into your English layout.

  • How do you copy paste a thumbnail from one file to another in Mavericks

    I used to be able to do a copy/paste and duplicate in the thumbnails...how do I do now in Maverick?

    In the Pages and Numbers applications, the thumbnail view of my document no longer allows me to re-arrange, duplicate or otherwise edit the thumbnails. The fact that I can't right click on the thumbnails to manage the pages are one thing, but the fact that I can't even drag and drop the order of pages is unbelievable. Suggestions?

  • How can I copy/paste a page from one pages document into another pages document?

    I have read the directions in the manual, but when I go to the document where I want to put the page the paste function is greyed out.  I assume this has something to do with styles, but can't find what to do. 

    You got it.
    Paste is greyed when we try to paste a page from a WP document into the thumbnails area of a Layout one.
    It's active if we try to paste in the pages area.
    In the document's tool bar, there is an icon with a + symbol at top left.
    In WP documents it's named Sections, In Layout ones its named Pages.

  • How do I copy/paste a part FROM GarageBand for iPad TO another app?

    This is a feature that it looks like Apple have half-implemented but it's not complete...
    I can paste parts TO GarageBand for iPad from numerous other apps no problem. I've done this with everyday looper, sunrizer, dm1, nlog, etc.
    But when I try to copy parts FROM GarageBand it fails. I need to do this to, say, take a part I'm working on, listen to it in everyday looper, and compose an NLog synth part over the top. Or to take a part from GarageBand, add effects in Moog Filtron, and then paste it back to GarageBand. This is basic stuff you need to be able to do if you are using an app like GarageBand as your songwriting environment.
    With functionality like this potentially blocked or not implemented, it makes GarageBand not the production solution it could be. Very much hope I'm being stupid and you can point out the way...

    Doesn't seem possible at the moment. It may well be in the pipeline already but you could always drop a line to GarageBand for iPad Feedback requesting such a feature...

  • Copying Japanese text from Word into InDesign CS5 - possible?

    Hi,
    I created an advert in English, and now the marketer has asked me to make a Japanese version.
    They have given me a Word Document with the Japenese text in it (in more or less the same paragraph structure to the English one) with instructions of what goes where.
    When I copy the paragraps into Indesign CS5, the font is just squares and shapes, not text.
    Is it possible to get the Japanese text working in InDesign? Is there a specific font selection I have to use?
    Thanks

    The group of Japanese fonts is the one containing Kozuka Mincho.  You do not need the  World-ready composer for simple left-to-right Japanese, and non-Japanese InDesign may do what you need.  If you need Japanese-specific text processing features (e.g., vertical text, automated application of "word" breaking rules), some are available in Adobe Illustrator and explained in its help files.  Or you could try Harbs' World Tools Pro.

    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • How can i Copy paste from e-mail to Notebook or textbook

    How can i Copy pasta from some Content of e-mail to the notepad or textbook or word?

    hold your finger down in the body of the mail - the part you want to copy. a blue box will comeup and offer to 'select/select all' or something like that. choose the appropriate choice. If you only want part of it that bubble will have two handles that allow you to drag out the selection box.
    then hold your finger down again and another bubble will come up offering to cut/copy the words. choose copy
    then navigate to your notes app (not sure about the textbook, depends on whether or not it support it) and hold your finger down in an empty text area. you'll get another blue bubble offering to paste it. choose that and the words should appear. then save as appropriate.

  • When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc, it pastes with no spaces between words. How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue.

    When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc (onto Facebook status bar, for example) it pastes with no spaces between words.  I.e: "The manhadajugofcoolwaterand offeredmeadrink." How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue. I'm new to Apple so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I can't speak about this occurring with FaceBook since I don't use FaceBook, but I see the same type of thing when I copy and pasted from websites. It doesn't always happen and I cannot find any particular set of circumstances under which it occurs or does not occur.
    I am merely responding to let you know that it happens to me as well and I have seen no way to correct it. I'm not so sure that there is a way to correct in in that it may have something to do with how the original text is formatted in the PDF or on the website and how it eventually "fits" into the text field or the area in which it is pasted.

    How do I copy multiple email addresses from an email sent to me into a new message?

    Are they in the body of the mail?
    Hold your finger down in that mail until the little blue bubble pops up. One of the options should be to select all. Choose that and all will be hilighted. then a pop up comes up to copy, choose that, open your destination and hold your finger down to get the paste dialogue.

    In most cases you can just select the text and copy/paste. You can do that unless the file is a picture/scan.

  • I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages.  If I type it won't

    I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages.  If I type it won't continue in Hebrew.  I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1.  I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

    Just clarifying:
    Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
    Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
    If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
    If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
    As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

    btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

  • How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting?

    How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting? For example, if I copy a sentence from a website and paste it on text editing program, it copies all the formatting as well. How can I turn that off?

    There is an app called "No Formatting" in the App Store. It is simple and works perfectly - it strips formatting from paste (Ctr-V). I needed it for Word and Excel, which don't have keyboard shortcuts for this. It can be toggled on and off from the Menu Bar.
