How to copy Chinese text from MS Word to Indesign CS5.5

Hello, I am a beginner and wanted to simply copy Chinese characters from MS WOrd to indesign CS 5.5. But it showed up in indesign as a bunch of squares. ANyone knows how to do it right? Thanks

Use those.
The chances are quite small that you will offend your Chinese readership by setting text in an overtly Japanese font like Mincho or Kozuka - but the chance is a non-zero chance. All the right glyphs are there, of course (thank you Unihan), but typographic standards differ between the two languages, and there's no sense in taking the risk.
Ah -- apologies! Wait, let me check my ID ... I got
* Apple LiGothic, Apple LiSung (installed by default on OS X)
* BiauKai (umm, don't know)
* Adobe Fan Heiti
* STHeiti
* LiHei Pro
* LiSong Pro
* Adobe Ming Std
* Adobe Fangsong Std
* GB18030Bitmap (exactly what it says: a bitmap font, and you can use it in InDesign! A bad idea...)
* Hei
* Heiti SC
* Adobe Heiti Std
* Hiragino Sans GB
* Kai
* Adobe Kaiti Std
* Adobe Song Std
.. and yet even more. If you are working on Windows, you get a couple of "MS Xxx" fonts as well, and in that case you are definitely better off with Adobe's set.
I must admit I only see the difference because Japanese fonts usually do not include a "full" set of glyphs (at least, not the "usual" 3,000 to 10,000). Joel, care to point out some tell-tale glyph forms?

You've asked a lot of questions the last few days. I think its time you do some reading. The Swing tutorial titled "Creating a GUI Using JFC/Swing: has sections on every component and example code of how to use them. You can even download the entire tutorial and all the example from the following link:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
Here's the link specific link to the section on "Using Lists"

How to copy link text from links?

Currently when selecting a link, there is no easy option to copy link text. This feature should be implemented to be one of the options in the popup menu once a link is selected, alongside with "Open Link in New Tab"; "Copy Link"; !"Copy Link Text"!; "Share Link"; "Bookmark Link".
This menu option will provide a convenient way to browse through search results and other various links and will add to the efficiency of navigation of web pages.

Hi eva88, are you copying from a webpage or from the address bar? If you copy a link from a webpage, Gmail should pick up the HTML as is from the original. But when you copy from the address bar, you need to take the extra step of using the "link" button in Gmail. Due to changes in the Gmail UI, this may be harder to find, but for me, it appears when mousing over the lower part of the compose box. I've attached a series of screen shots showing where I see it.

How to copy long text from production order to automatically created P.R

Hello experts,
I want to add some text to the long text , in the production order and save it.
There is an external process in our routing, in which when the order is saved and released, there is a P.R created automatically.
My requirement :- The text in the long text tab of the Production order should flow to one of the text types {Item text} in the P.R item created.
I checked in SPRO [ IMG-> MM->Purchasing -> P.R-Texts for PR-> define copying rules].
For text type , 'Item text' already has the text linkages : Order/network, with source texts "component text' and 'transaction text'.
However, the text being maintained in the order is not flowing on its own anywhere into the P.R created.
Is there any other config that needs to be done to achieve this?
Regards
P.R

Hi, A production order long text exists at a header level and a Purchase req gets triggered at an operation level of a production order during external processing.
So if you expect a mapping of a header text to operation level text, it should not be definitely possible in the SAP standard. (May be an enhancement would still work but you need to decide on it).
If you maintain a long text at the same operation where you trigger a pur.req (a text on your own or via a standard text key-CA10 tcode), you would see that populated, at the item-level text tab of the generated pur req automatically, as a standard behaviour.
Hope you would go with the standard system behaviour.

Pasting text from Microsoft Word

I am working in InDesign on a Windows XP computer. When I paste text from Microsoft Word into InDesign the text loses its formatting such as italics and bold. Is there any way to maintain that formatting? I am supplied with this text by a client and I have so much formatting to do that the projects take me longer than necessary.

... and don't forget to run this set of macros in Word BEFORE you do copy/paste ;)

How can I have text from multiple fields on one layer, copy to one field on another layer?

A little help please as it's been years since I've done any coding of any sort.
So I have a 4 page document with various field types. I have a document script that gets "TodaysDate" that works perfectly and a few other scripts as well.
So what I'm trying to do is find a work around for the following:
I have 3 fields - SURNAME, FIRSTNAME & dob.
And I want what is typed into these fields to populate into 1 field. And according to this tutorial (http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript) it's not exactly possible. At least I think that's what it says.
However I'm hoping that maybe I could have a Submit button at the end of that document that when clicked would copy the text from those 3 fields (that I would have on 1 layer) into 1 field on a 2nd layer. Is that even possible??
I'd also like to have the document Print, Save (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the file name), Email (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the subject line) and Export to a specific Excel spreadsheet.
I don't want much do I?
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro on a Windows PC but also have access to Acrobat 8 Professional. And I'm going to want the form to run in Acrobat Reader X.
So far I have for the 3 fields into 1 on another layer:
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
event.value=this.getField("SURNAME"+"-"+"FIRSTNAME"+"-"+"dob").valueAsString;
But I have no idea how to call the event.value from 1 layer to another or if any of that code above would even work at all.
I have a script that I believe will work perfectly for the Save and Email function:
Using the “doc.submitForm()” function
// This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
// so that the form is always returned to the same address
// Change address on your form
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
// First, get the client CC e-mail address
var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;
// Now get the beneficiary e-mail only if it is filled out
var cBenAddr = this.getField("BennyEmail").value;
if(cBenAddr != "") cCCAddr += ";" + cBenAddr;
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"; var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the mail attachment for your own records";
//** Send the form data as an XML attachment on an e-mail
// Build the e-mail URL
var cEmailURL = "mailto:[email protected]?cc=" + cCCAddr + "&subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody;
this.submitForm({
            cURL: cEmailURL,
            cSubmitAs:"XML",
            cCharSet:"utf-8"
I'll work out the Export to Excel thing later as I've seen many tutorials on that. But can I do the 3 fields to 1 thing at all?
Please Help!!!

Sorry Gilad. I hope I'm not getting on your nerves (too much) but as I said it's been a while since I did any formal code. And I'm trying to do this code for a work document but I'm doing it in amongst so many other things I do for my job that it's difficult to get the time to concentrate for longer than 5 mins.
I didn't get a chance to try that code until just now. I guess I asked again as I thought (from what I'd read) that it wouldn't be that simple.
So I've added that code and I get no errors. But it doesn't appear to be doing anything either. I've added the code like this in the Custom calculation script of a separate field I've called FileName. And on the Button i'm using I've added: buttonClick()
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
          event.value=this.getField("SURNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("FIRSTNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("dob").valueAsString;
So now I'm guessing that becasue i'm not getting an error or a result that I've screwed it up still. Have I put the code in the correct area? Have I assigned a the buttonClick() function correctly?

Automatically copy only the unicode-Text from a Word-Document into FM8

In my daily work I often have the problem to copy and paste text from a Word-Document or other documents into my FrameMaker documents.
The common way is to copy it in Word and "Special Paste" it in FrameMaker 8 as unicode. But this is not as confortable as to shortly hit Ctrl-v on the keyboard.
I would like to have a new menuitem to special paste only the unicode text from the clipbopard. Is there a way to make such a makro and to put it in the menubar with a Key-Trigger?
I read something like that in http://www.rzg.mpg.de/from_external/Frame6_Handbuch/Setting_up_FrameMaker.pdf (german), but I actually don't know what to chage for my case.

Rather than create a new menu item (possible, I gather, but fiddly) I would recommendchanging the default “paste” behaviour.
In the MAKER.INI file there is a line beginning
ClipboardFormatsPriorities=
Change this to put UNICODE TEXT as the first item.
Ctrl-v will then paste Unicode text by default. You can still access the other options, should you need to, by using Paste Special.

Pasting text from a word program while retaining the same italics formatting?

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to be able to copy text from another program (Microsoft Word) and then, using the Text tool in Photoshop (CS6), paste that text, but where it retains the correct italics formatting I had in the other program--and not as an image of text (Ctrl+P), in which the formatting is present, as a flat image, but rather as an actual unrasterized and editable Text layer. For example, the sentence “I told you..” where 'told' is italics, simply pastes into Photoshop as "I told you.." without the original formatting. Is there a way to get Photoshop to recognize formatting from pastes without my having to manually re-apply the formatting myself? This would be a hassle over a long period of time. If necesary I would be willing to use a plug-in that allows for this sort of recognition.
Thanks!

InDesign does correctly accept Word's formatting with 2 important considerations.
In the InDesign preferences, Clipboard Handling needs to be set up to paste "All Information (Index Markers, Swatches, Styles, etc)
In Word you can't use formatting like faux Bold or faux Italic in place of using a font that has an actual Bold or Italic font style.
InDesign only allows for using fonts that have a Bold or Italic font style and no longer allows for faux styles like MS Word or older type layout applications like PageMaker or Quark (clicking a B or I button)
You can copy the Text Block in InDesign (the arrow tool - not the text tool) and paste this into Photoshop as a Vector Smart Object.
You can then use a layer style on this Vector Smart Object layer.
But all this really just a sideshow. If you are copying a small amount of text, it shouldn't take long to reformat in PS.
If you are doing a large amount of text or small amounts many, many times you should do as Willi Adelberger says and place the images in InDesign. You can place or paste text for MS Word in InDesign (and adjust or edit it if you want)
In InDesign you can color the text, apply special effects like drop shadows, embossing, etc.
Can you tell us the amount of text you deal with, how often you need to do this, and what (if anything) do you want to do to the text after you get it into PS?
I think everyone would agree with Willi's statement: "Personally I would avoid to make text objects in Photoshop if not specific raster-image effects or combinations are needed."

Copy and paste from MS Word to Apple Mail - line spacing

Folks:
When I copy and paste single-spaced text from MS Word into the body of an email message in Apple Mail, it pastes in as double spaced text. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I can't seem to find how to change line spacing in Apple Mail. Thanks.

BUT having fixed that I found another doc which underlines the text when pasting it into mail!!!! havn;t solved that!

I am a new iPad user and cannot figure out how to copy and paste from a website to pages. Any insight?

I am a new iPad user. I cannot figure out how to copy and paste from a website to a pages document, and vice versa. Any ideas?

Long press on the text you would like to select (tapping and holding) and then release after the magnifying glass shows up. This will select a single word. Then use the blue dots and drag them to select a region of test. Then press "copy". Open pages, and long press and release where you would like to paste. Then select "paste". That should paste the text.
If the text doesn't select within the browser, it might be an uncopyable format. Like if the text was within an image, naturally you would be unable to select it. The only thing to do there is long press the image and selecting "save image", adding it to your camera roll. Then you could insert the image within pages.

ID CS4 slow after pasting text from MS Word

Each time I paste text from a Word document into my ID CS4 document, ID begins to run very slowly. I can't even type properly. Has anyone else seen this?
I have fixed this problem by copying all the text and pasting in the a new document (I thought the document was possibly corrupted). This fixed the problem, but it has happened multiple times now. Much of my information comes from engineers' word documents, so this is not convenient.

The best I can tell, it is related to the cross references, and that it happened after pasting was coincedental. It could have been that pasting made a cross referenced section move to another page, so it was trying to update.
The cross references are a little buggy:
EVERY time I create a cross ref from the cross ref menu (in the cross ref window), ID CS4 (with all patches) crashes. If I create them from the Text menu (at the top), it doesn't crash.
If you have a large number of cross refs in a doc, it becomes slow.
When slowness occurs, I have found that updating the cross refs and then resolving all errors in the cross ref window usually clears it up.
