How do you cut and paste tables in and out of Excel from either Mail.app or Outlook 2011?

When I try to cut and paste a table generated in Excel for Mac into the body of an email the formatting holds but when I send the table is reduced to one column. Same is true for copying from incoming mail into Excel, when I paste into Excel it is reduced to one column rather than keeping the table format. I have tried using mail.app and went out and Outlook 2011 and both programs have the same issue. The reformatting also happens when I forward an email received from a coworker that contains a table, not just on cut and paste operations.
I need to do this regularly and right now my only option is using my old PC where the cut and paste function keeps formatting between Excel and Outlook just fine. Attaching a pdf or excel file is not an option. There has to be a way to maintain the formatting and being able to extract the tables keeping them intact. Please let me know if you have a solution to maintain this formatting within email programs. Thank you in advance.

Selecting all does not help - the issue is I need a table within an incoming email to be moved to excel, edited and then pasted back into a new email. "Select All" picks up the email headers, signatures, any messages around the table etc so that doesn't work. Also, as pointed out above Excel doesn't have a select all feature to get the tables back into the body of an email.
I just tried again going from Excel into Outlook 2011. No luck. All one column down the left side of the email. All columns are removed and text crammed into one column. Just to check I cut from one Excel document and pasted into another and it retained all formating just fine. It is only in and out of Outlook that seems to be the issue.

How do I get rid of a ton of old reimported email from the Mail App?

I was having an sync issue with a particular email address, it wasn't getting the emails forwarded from GMail into my Apple Mail account, so I followed the directions I got from apple.com
"Go to your home Library folder, then to the Mail folder and remove the “DefaultCounts”, “Envelope Index” and the “LSMMap” files."
"The next time you start up Apple Mail it should ask you to reimport all messages and it will rebuilt the index."
So, before I could use the Apple Mail, I had to let it reimport all messages and rebuild the index, which I did. Now, I did notice it was reimporting well over hundreds of thousands of files. Not sure if they were emails or what, but it took a long time to rebuild.
Now after, the email address was able to forward or "push" the email to my Mail program. Problem fixed. But hours later I looked at my available harddrive space and noticed I only 80GB's availble when before I have 224GB's of Harddrive space available on my 500GB home drive.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem, but there's no other explanation I can come up with because I didn't import anything or install anything else on my computer that day, especially that big.

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

In iMovie 11, how can you cut/paste a clip that has subtitles and actually have the subtitles get cut/pasted. When I try, the subtitles disappear into the void and I have to do the subtitling all over again.

If you're talking about cut and paste as you would do with files and folder on a Windows box you do it in a round about way.
Either Copy ⌘C, (Yes copy not cut), and then move, ⌘⌥V (a variation on paste ⌘V).
If you're a mouser.
Right click the File and choose Copy from.....
The right click the folder you want to move it to but hold down the option key and Paste item.....
...will change to Move item here.

Do you mean you want to retain the formatting from Pages, or retain formatting already applied in ID?

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?
For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted... How can I do this without distorting the formula?

Thanks for the feedback.
If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.
CAUTION
Download them while they are available.
Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
Searching infos in the iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

new user...how do you drag or move or copy a file or folder from the desktop to an external drive? I have tried dragging and copy/pasting.

My guess the problem you are running into is the drive is formatted for a PC as NTFS. OS X can read files from NTFS however it cannot write to it. Check the formatting on the drive, if it's NTFS then it should be reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), you can use Disk Utility to do this.
If you still have a PC and want to share the EHD with the PC and Mac please read MacWorld's Share an external drive between a Mac and a PC article.

Cut and paste tables and charts from Acrobat Pro 8?

Cutting and pasting tables from PDF files

Hi
We use large pdf files for survey data tables (typically 500-1000 pages). It would be very useful to be able to cut and paste tables into MS-Office applictions, but this is generally not available. However, I have been able to cut and paste from another pdf file.
Right click on the selected tables gives two different menus, even though the software is the same (Adobe reader 9). The file I can cut and paste from has a right-click menu 'Copy with formatting', which works fine - the survey tables don't have the 'Copy with formatting' option.
What causes this difference? Is it possible to get the copy with formatting option?
Apologies if this is really obvious - any help gratefully recieved.
Regards
Georges

"Copy with formatting" is available when working with a Tagged output PDF.
If the survey data tables' PDF is created via a reporting app it is most likely not a Tagged output PDF (and likely, not able to be processed out as a Tagged PDF).

How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.
Thanks.

Hi guys n girls. How do you copy a whole table to create a new table with all cell sizes in tact? Thanks for your help. Jason.

Hi guys n girls. How do you copy a whole table to create a new table with all cell sizes in tact? Thanks for your help. Jason.
when you copy n paste into a new table, all the cell sizes are changed.
is there a way to put in a new table from your templates into an existing file, different to the standard very basic ones in insert table.
I look forward to your answers. Your help is very much appreciated.
Also how do you search for question answers already written in this support area please.

Hi Jason,
In Numbers 3, you can select a whole table by clicking once in the table to make it active, then click once on the "bull's eye" at the top left.
Now copy and paste. All formatting (and any cell content) is pasted intact. In Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) it is a little different for selecting a whole table. But I won't go into that unless you are using Numbers '09. Please reply.
I don't like the look of the tables in Insert Table. I keep custom tables in My Templates. I have set Numbers > Preferences > General > For New Documents > Use template: (name of my favourite custom template)
That opens when I launch Numbers, or ask for a new document (command n). Note that if you follow this preference setting, then Menu > File > New From Template Chooser (for another template) requires you to hold down the option key in that menu.
Regards,
Ian.

Copy a table in Safari and paste special, as text, to an Excel worksheet

I am attempting to write Applescript code to copy a table in Safari and paste special, as text, to an Excel worksheet.
When I perform the operation manually, all the rows of the Safari table are pasted into Excel in a single column, i.e. after all of the data in a row of a table is pasted vertically into Excel,the next row is pasted in the next open cell below in the same column, as I need it.
When I use the applescript line..."paste special on worksheet format text" Excel pastes the table data in rows AND columns , like the table looks in Safari, but I do not want it pasted this way.
Any ideas on how to get my Applescript code to perform the same manual operation?
Thanks!

I do not know what Excel you have, but to copy a table from a Safari's page, you could use the table tags of the page's source to get the table you want.
That is, use text item delimiters.

How do you cut out exact figures?

When I use the lasso tool to carve out a figure and paste it in some other application I get the the figure I cut embedded in a white box. How do I just cut and paste only the figure?

Thanks that worked!

Subject: How do you cut out exact figures?
System clipboards can be finicky, to say the least.
Also which operating system and application do you want to paste into?
The following may help:
1. With your selection active around your object, right click inside the selection.
    In the menu choose New Layer via Copy. (makes a new layer with just your
    selected object)
2. Right click on the new layer in the layers pallete and choose Duplicate Layer.
    In the dialog box, where it says document choose new from the drop down menu.
    You can name it or not. Click ok.
3. A new document should be created with just that layer.
4. Depending on how big the document is, you could use the Rectangle Marque Tool
   (M on the keyboard) and draw a selection box around your object and then go to
   Image>Crop, then Select>Deselect.
5. Save your image as a PNG file. File>Save As and choose png from the drop down.
    It should say File must be saved as copy, thats fine.
6. Open or insert your png into the application of choice.
