How do i copy, cut and paste on firefox

How can I copy cut and paste on firefox? I have windows 8! Please Help !!!!!!

You should just be able to perform these functions as you do in any application by doing one of the following:
* Select some content, right-click your selection and select 'Copy' or 'Cut' from the menu. To paste, right-click in a text area or input field and select 'Paste'.
* Select some content and press Ctrl+C to copy or Ctrl+X to cut. To paste, click in an input field or text area and press Ctrl+V.
In webpages you cannot cut content that is not in a text area or input field, and you cannot paste to somewhere other than a text area or input field. Some sites also use preventative measures to stop (or at least hinder - there is usually some way around it) copying (often to prevent plagiarism).

Address Book: How do you select, copy and paste info to an email?

I look up a contact in my Mac Address Book and want to cut and paste email/address and phone into an email I am writing in another application - in this case using AOL online.
It seems that you cannot select and paste the information or selected parts of it from the Address Book to the email using the usual key commands to select/copy/paste text?
It is as if you are trying to copy from a photo... am I the only one to find this a completely mindless limitation of the Address Book?
Or is there something obvious I am missing?
thanks in advance

This is insane! I switched to Mac a few years ago (still use XP/Win7/Linux at work) and generally like it. However, I keep running into these idiotic and arbitratry limitations! I want to create a bunch of address cards for people I work with. Everthing is the same except phone extension, name, and email. There's no way to copy/duplicate contacts in Mac Address Book or on my iPhone. And, like many similar issues, if I dare to ask about it at an "Expert Bar", I'll first get a look of confusion and when I finally get the person to understand, I'll just get the useless response of "that's how it works". No ideas for work-arounds. No reporting to Apple development. Just the attitude of "why would anyone want to do anything it doesn't already do?"
It's great having all the Apple stores around here and being able to ask (simple) questions, but they're really not able to deal with much more than older folks who just bought a Mac and don't know how to use a computer at all. If you've been using dozens of computers and operating systems for 20+ years, they don't want to talk to you.

N8 Photo Editing - how to use the cut and paste?

Hello,
I am trying to edit some photos - there is a an option to use an ellipse or magic wand. I thought that was to cut and paste from the photos.
All I can do is select and area - but how do I cut it.
I tried save, but it saves the whole image...
Or am I just doing this wrong...
Thanks,

I was hoping to use the ellipse or magic want to cut and paste items in a certain shape to paste on other photos.
I could do this on my N95-4.
So there is no way to photo edit with cut and paste?
Any idea what the ellipse and magic wand function do, and how do they work?
Thanks,

How to cut and paste subtitles (with formatting)?

In iMovie '09, once I've formatted a subtitle to look the way I want, how can I repeatedly cut and paste that subtitle so that I don't need to redo the formatting for every subsequent subtitle?
I realize this is probably trivial once you see it ... but it's not obvious to me. Couldn't find it in Help or in Apple's FindOutHow movie.

I cannot "cut and paste" a link in Firefox RC-1, I can in the body of the page but not the actual link location at the top of the browser

I just found I can't repeat the problem, when I opened a new tab and submitted this question to you, the cut and paste of the links now work when I returned to the original page. I had tried it on at least 4 different links earlier.

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

RAR5.3 not able to cut and paste list of users to Multiple Selection screen

CC V4.0 on ABAP system has a feature where you can cut and paste a list of many users from the clipboard to Single Values column in the Multiple Selection screen, so you can run SOD Analysis Report for all those users. The Multiply Selection screen is a standard SAP supplied pop up screen.
With RAR 5.3 the Multiply Selection screen design is different. There is no longer feature to cut and paste from clipboard. We have to input each user one at a time. So if you have many users (20, 30, etc.) it is a time consuming task. It is not acceptable to our business power users.
We can import the list of users to a Custom User Group (in the Configuration Tab). First of all, there is no mass delete on Custom User Group. You have to delete each user one at a time which is time consuming. The alternative is to create a new Custom User Group each time, then it becomes a maintenance nightmare. Secondly, it is in the Configuration Tab which is only available to Administrators (fear of users changing configuation data), so the Administrator (or whomever has access to the Configuration Tab) has to maintain the Custom User Groups which is a lot of work for him or her or them.
We talk to SAP every week. But they are looking at this as a long time project. Does any one of you (or your company) has the same requirements? How do you get around it? Did you setup some other procedures so users can cut and paste the users list and run the Risk Analysis report themselves?
Thanks,
John.

This is probably a JVM issue. Are you using JInitiator or the IE native JVM?
I suggest you turn on the JVM console, set the trace level to maximum, and then watch what happens when you attempt the copy.
Also, check the key mapping (usually ctrl-k) that the forms applet is implementing. Perhaps ctrl-c means something else...

Cut and paste - should be easy

Acrobat Pro 10 / Windows 8
I've used Pro 10 for a long time but always creating the complete file and cutting/pasting has always been within the document.
I was given a PDF - 87 pages of which I only need 5. I want to copy/paste those 5 pages into a new document which is not locked.
I've opened the document, selected a page, highlighted the text (more about this later), and selected copy. Then it's File>Create File>From Clipboard.
At this point I get "Strarting app . . . " and Word begins to open. (Never does. All I get is the logo.)
I then get "Please wait . . . Reading Acrobat PDF." After a while, the bar fills and then . . . it starts again. "Please wait . . . Reading Acrobat PDF." After a while, the bar fills and then . . . well, you get the idea.
How do I successfully cut and paste from an existing document to a new document?
Now a word about copying highlighted text. I'm assuming I'm copying text. I can't edit the document the way I can my own pdfs. Am I actually copying text or am I copying an image or something else? I have no idea. All I want is to copy whatever I select into a new document.

It sounds very much as if you want Acrobat to be Word, and that is the source of your problems. Yes, it is hopeless to think you can select all the text on a page, and paste it into a different flow. You might be able to select the left column as graphics, but probably not: PDFs have no information on columns. The pages palette is opened by clicking the page icon in the left margin, as an alternative to bookmarks etc.
Word gets started because you have copied styled text to the clipboard and Acrobat has no ability to create a PDF from styled text. So it has Word do the conversion. Quite clever really, I didn't think it could manage that.
But I think really you have to moderate your ambitions.

Does Xoom do App to App Cut and Paste?

I would like to be able to highlight a phrase or paragraph, cut or copy t to a clipboard and then paste it into another application such as email or Notes.
MY DX will not do that. Can XXoom do it?

To initiate simply long pressed near the words that you want to copy. (Actually I was wrong, I can copy from this site... more below). The long press action often won't get the exact words you want, but you'll end up with some highlighted words and some controls that allow you to modify the selection.
With a selection made there are buttons at the top of the screen that allow you to specify that you want to do a copy.
To paste,all you need to do is long press in an input field. Again,you'll get a Congolese that allows you to specify the cursor position, then an on screen control near the cursor that says paste.
I'll copy / paste your message below. No, I don't have a way to prove that I didn't just retype it, but I'm very lazy Looks like it drops the hard returns and just gets the text.
Are you doing cut and paste from a Xoom or from droid 2? How do you go about Highlignting more than one word? HOw do you initiate Copy or Cut? How do you initiate Paste in the other App?

No cut and paste function?

hello,
coming from a window world, i don't know all about mac.
i was surprised not to found the cut and paste option on leopard.
is it me or it doesn't exist ?
thank you

To (hopefully) clarify:
In Windows XP, you can cut and paste files and folders in Explorer using ctrl+x and ctrl+v. This is essentially the same thing as dragging and dropping items between folders, as long as you're doing it between folders on the same volume.
In Leopard's Finder, you can't cut and paste files, but you can copy and paste them, either by using the menu or keystrokes (cmd+c and cmd+v). Dragging and dropping files between folders on the same volume has the same effect as cutting and pasting (moving). If you drag and drop files between folders on different volumes, however, it will copy rather than move the file by default.
There are also some interesting things you can do by combining key commands and dragging and dropping. Holding the following keys while dragging/dropping will have different effects:
Option - duplicate the file
Command + Option - create an alias (shortcut) to the file
Hope that helps.

Cut and Paste doesn't work in lots of apps

I was surprised that cut and paste does not work in Twitter, in App descriptions and other places. It's nice that it works on web sites and email text, notes, etc. But, am I wrong about this?

herbmann wrote:
I don't understand your reply. I am able to copy and paste from web sites without any problems.
That's because cut and paste to a web page isn't the same copy and paste from it. Your first post (and the title of this thread) referred to +cutting and pasting to+ a twitter web page.
You can copy text from anywhere, but you can +cut and paste+ only to editable fields.

Apple Mail Cut and Paste Problem

When I cut and past in Apple Mail font changes to smaller size. Any suggestions?

As you know, type sizes are uniform - unless you use cut-and-paste. The resulting text will sometimes be smaller, larger, or different than the type-style you began with.
Personally, I'd ignore it. But if you want to fix the font size, you can alter it in the Format Bar on the top of the Mail program. This allows you to change the type, size, and even alter special characters. To make the text uniform, highlight the text you want to alter, open the Format Bar, and change the settings.

Mail: cut and paste behaving strangely

When writing a new email, I often rewrite and edit the text using cut and paste, but lately when I paste, the text is placed is completely unexpected places, usually back at the start of the paragraph.
Is there some setting I have inadvertently changed?
Thanks for any help.
Regards

How do you cut and paste files from a Macbook?

I am trying to cut (edit, select all, cut) and paste from a Macbook Pro, but when I try to paste into an external hard-drive, the paste function is greyed-out. Command V doesn't even do anything. How can I complete this simple task? Thank you.

The hard drive is probably not Mac-writeable - likely it's NTFS (Windows) format.
If it's empty, you can reformat it to Mac format using Disk Utility.
If it has files that you need and/or you don't want to reformat, you can try Paragon NTFS to allow you to write to the drive.

HT3737 how do you cut and paste on an iMac

how do you cut and paste on an imac

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.
