How do I select all "beginning with...", to copy and paste in numbers?

Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I am working to re-organise a very large spreadsheet that I have exported from endnote. The entries are all jumbled and instead of being organised into columns all data has been entered row by row under the first column. To save me time is there a way for me to select all entries beginning with a certain word so that I can copy and paste them all into seperate columns? I hope that makes sense.

See item 29 on this page. Choose 'Tab Delimited' as your export style and save a file with .tsv as the extension. Then drag that file into Numbers wherever you want it. You can also open the .tsv file in a text editor, command-a to select all, command-c to copy, click once in a Numbers cell, and command-v to paste. The results should be aligned in separate columns.

How do I get back my edit functions, copy and paste, without doing a restore?

When I switched to Firefox 4 I no longer have the file, edit, etc. functions anywhere. I can't or don't know how to copy and paste websites to emails for instance without the edit functions.

I have checked the toolbar buttons and have MENU ticked, I went to the customize toolbar thing and added (by drag and drop) the cut copy and paste and other buttons I cant find now, and they showed up at first, then they disappeared. The top section seems terribly narrow now and I cant find any way to add the buttons underneath where they used to be...help!

What happened with my copy and paste?

I used to be able to copy addresses from text messages and paste them into maps or even safari with IOS 5. IOS 6 doesn't seem to let me do this. I am running with a 3gs. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm in the process of trying to. I just wrote down all the contacts I think may not be in the sync I'm about to restore to. I'm really not impressed at all with the new IOS 6. I'm going to try and go back to IOS 5. I really don't care about Maps that much, on the other hand, it was a pain trying to meet my friend at work today when the address didn't pop up. Maps has never been a perfect ap. I've also noticed that I can not forward emails from one account with another. This was something I used to be able to do. It just keeps trying and trying to send. It also doesn't pick up where I left off when I play my music. It's always a few songs ahead of where I last turned it off. It also takes a lot longer to start playing. I just need to get a newer phone and wait for apple to fix these bugs.

How can I save colors of text by copy and paste from a strange application

Hi!
When I copy colored text from a strange application to paste it into pages (4.0.2) all text is black. The colors disappear. When I look at the clipboard, I see the correct colors. In AppleWorks, MS-Office and OpenOffice the colors are copied correctly.
What can I do to save the colors?

How, in Illustrator CS5, can I select all objects with three points (or nodes)?

I am quite new to Illustrator, but it seems this should be simple. (It is trivial in CorelDraw X4: After selecting an object with three nodes, I go to Edit > Find and Replace > Find Objects > Find objects that match the currently selected object, and navigate through the remaining menus.)
In Illustrator CS5, the options under Select > Same do not seem to include selecting all objects with the same number of nodes as the currently selected object.
Double-clicking on the Magic Wand Tool also fails to provide such an option.
Thank you for any help.
P.S. Also useful would be knowing how to add other criteria to this search, e.g. how to select all objects with three points *and* the current fill color.

There is a script that can select "less than x points"

Copy and paste? What app are you using?
When you tap on an image and select copy that usually copies the URL of the image.
Save image copies the image to your Camera Roll.
Most apps have an Insert choice that inserts an image from your Camera Roll into the document you are working on.
But if you tell us which app you are using, we should be able to provide more exact info on how to get done what you want.

Selecting objects in a layer to copy and paste into a new doc?

How can I select all objects in a layer and copy and paste the objects into a new document? We are having issues with the copy and paste method. Is this because it uses the operating systems clipboard?

the sample I mentioned describes how to duplicate all selected objects in a document, using
var docSelected = app.activeDocument.selection;
it is usually not advice to use the selection for this kind of stuff, to work with ALL pageItems in a document use
var allPageItems = app.activeDocument.pageItems;
now if you only want to copy items in a layer you can use either the index number (for instance, top layer index = 0) or the name of the layer (for instance "Layer1"), use this, you don't have to select them
var topLayerPageItems = app.activeDocument.layers[0].pageItems;
or using the layer name
var Layer1PageItems = app.activeDocument.layers['Layer1"].pageItems;

How to Copy and Paste Formulas

Hello:
I'm new to numbers, but have got a lot of computing to do.
I have some fairly simple formulas (x-y for example) to do. The issue is, I have 300 rows that I need this mathematical operation done on.
Is there a way I can copy this formula into each different row so that the formula stays the same, yet the computaiton is unique to the individual row?
Thanks for helping with such a basic question.

Hi Jrp,
In this example, enter your formula in D2
=B2−C2
Press enter.
Two methods:
Method 1:
Select D2 and Copy
Select all Body Cells in D and Paste
Method 2:
Select D2 and hover the cursor over the bottom cell border until you see a yellow dot (Fill Handle)
Drag the Fill Handle down.
D is now filled with the formula which automatically changes with the Row

Can no longer copy and paste with new version. Articles you provided did not help.

When I try to copy and paste in firefox it says I can't do it any longer. It's a security issue, and the "learn more" tab gives some abstruse directions about completely closing firefox, and then getting back in without opening it to a place I can't find.
Could you please tell me how to re-enable these necessary functions in an understandable way?

Is this only on one website? some websites disable copy and pasting for various reasons.
If this happens on every website, have you tried to start Firefox up in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]? It may be an extension causing the problem.
Also, go ahead and update to Firefox 11, since it does have several bug fixes (I don't recall anything related to copy and paste, but give it a go [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] )
Or, you may have some sort of virus which is interfering with your copy and paste. Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Is there a way to do this?

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

I use Acrobat to convert firefox pages to pdf and with firefox4 I need to be able to copy and pasted text from the pdf and no longer can.

With the prior version of Firefox I could convert web pages (financial data) to pdf for maintaining historical files. And then with the pdf, I was able to copy and paste the numbers into Excel. With Firefox4, I can convert to pdf with Acrobat but I cannot access the numbers for copying and pasting as text, only as a picture. While I prefer Firefox, I check to see if this problem recently started with the "other" company's web browser and did not have this problem. So, it is not Acrobat.

HI djlarp,
Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
Best,
Sara

How to enable copy and paste in Firefox

I have tried over and over and over and I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out how to configure Firefox to allow me to copy and paste. I've downloaded EVER SINGLE EXTENSION YOU HAVE and some I found online!!!! HOW DO I COPY AND PASTE??? And please don't be a smart aleck and tell me to right click..I tried that. I've tried everything it's not working...

If right-clicking doesn't work, it could indicate that the site is intercepting and blocking Firefox's regular context menu. Some sites are cheeky and show you a copyright notice when you right-click.
You can change a setting so that you always get Firefox's right-click context menu. If the site has its own menu, Firefox's will appear in front of it. To access the site's menu after making this change, you have to carefully dismiss Firefox's menu with a single press of the Esc key. (I think I've only seen one site where ''both'' menus disappear when I press Esc, so it nearly always works.)
Want to try it?
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''context''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''dom.event.contextmenu.enabled''' preference to switch it from true (sites can detect and re-place the right-click menu) to false (they can't).
Does that help?
