How to copy&paste from _________ into terminal?

Whenever i try to copy text from e.g. a webpage, and paste it into terminal (e.g. an open emacs) I usually just get part of the text--either just a few lines, or most of the text. When trying to copy only a few lines, it works fine.
Any ideas?

Paste it into a text editor, such as TextEdit, and see what really gets transferred. Other than that, Unix and Terminal queries are best answered in the Unix forum under OS X Technologies.

How to copy & paste an image into a new Pages document?

With the latest version of Pages, you cannot copy & paste an image from iPhoto or the web any more.
Is there an easy alternative?
Using the toolbar alternative "Media" takes ages.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

How to import style from mx.DataGrid into my DataGridExt (copy-paste from mx.DataGrid)

Ok, I managed to create the DataGridExt (copy-paste from mx.DataGrid). Don't ask me why I did this, it's a long story believe me.
But it is styleless. There's no skin set and that is what I expected.
The thing is, is there a nice/magical way to tell the DataGrid skin to be applied to DataGridExt?
Thanks for attention.

In case the question was not clear:
Is there a way to have all styles of mx.DataGrid applied to my custom control called DataGridExt?

In InCopy, how can I paste from one InDesign table to another without also copying formatting?

I'm attempting to paste information from one indesign document to another, but the styles are different. Pasting without formatting not working in a table. When I paste over, it retains the container style from the original table.
I have "Text Only" selected from my Clipboard Handling preferences, so I'm not sure what else to do. I know I can hit escape to switch to the text selection instead of a container, but this only selects the text from one cell. I'd like to copy over the entire table, instead of copying cell by cell.
How can I paste a table into another, without copying the formatting?

Copy/Paste whole cells will always retain formatting.
What you have to do is: Copy/Paste Without Formatting the text contents of the individual cell.
You have to do that individually for each cell, if you want to copy over text of a whole table.
A better approach would be to:
1. Copy the whole table to Excel (or a different spread sheet application)
2. Copy again from that
3. Select one single cell and paste
In that case "Text Only" should be selected from the Clipboard Handling Preferences.

Cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail

I cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail. Neither from using the keyboard shortcuts, or using the Menu function. I can copy and paste from other applications into Mail- but for some reason, text copied from a Word document (both in .txt and .doc formats) will not paste into an open email. Anyone else have this issue? It's a new issue. I used to be able to do this easily.

I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? - OS 10.6.3

Hi,
New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names." It was not answered and is quoted here:
---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off. Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or -> drag and drop picture clipping.
Opening Image File in CS5
Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.

How to find the folder (EBS_R12) in OEL 5 after copy/paste from Windows 7 ?

Folks,
Hello. I have just installed Oracle Linux 5 as Guest OS on the top of VMPlayer. Host OS is Windows 7.

If yes then you can do the following
#find / -name EBS_R12 -type d -print
(Assuming you copied the folder "EBS_R12" , But not its contents).

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.

IDSCS5.5 How to determine if a pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator

Hi,
My flow is as follows:
- Open document in IndesignServer
- (XML)Tag every pageitem with our custom IndesignServer plugin (c++ SDK)
- If pageItem is a group, tag every member separately
- save/close the document
My problem is:
- If pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator and pageitem has a gradient fill => IndesignServer crashes while tagging.
- Copy/pasted illustrator items with plain colorfills work fine.
Note that:
- Copy pasted pageitems from illustrator with a gradient fill are considerated as group in Indesign.
- The gradient fill of Illustrator is not recognized as such in Indesign ( I could only test with Illustrator CS4).
- The lack of color information in that situation is not enough to consider the object as "from Illustrator".
My question:
- How can i determine if the origin of the pageitem is Illustrator? (I have no control on the creation of the document).
I know this is a hard one...
Thanks in advance for any usefull input!
Bart Devos.

Problems doing copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator

This is a problem I've had since Flash 8: when doing a
copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator (on Windows), there's extreme
degradation of the artwork, sometimes to the extent that no actual
art is even copied. All the curves seem to be approximated with
straight line segments, but at some point it just seems to give up
even trying, leaving an unidentifiable blob for most of the object.
As I said, sometimes it doesn't even copy anything at all -- all
that shows up after pasting into Illustrator is an empty group.
The weird thing is that this process worked fine in Flash MX
2004. What could possibly have changed? I was sure with CS3 it
would be fixed, but it wasn't. I haven't tried Illustrator CS4 yet,
but copying from Flash CS4 to Illustrator CS3 produces the same
problem.
I've seen a few other reports of this problem in other
forums, but I've encountered it on every install of Flash and
Illustrator I've tried (admittedly, all Windows machines, but three
or four different ones, both XP or Vista). Can anyone here confirm
that this problem exists or doesn't exist on their computer? To
test it, create a piece of art with plenty of curves and several
colors in Flash, then copy and paste it into an illustrator
document.
If this problem is as widespread as my experience seems to
indicate it is, why hasn't it been fixed in two major revisions of
the software? Is Adobe even aware of it? If not, how can I let them
know? I'm getting majorly sick of having to deal with it.
Illustrator used to be a much larger part of my animation process,
but now I can't use it how I really want to because of the bad copy
and paste functionality.

Hi,
The integration between Flash CS3 and Illustrator means you
can copy objects from Illustrator to Flash and i think if you copy
from Flash to illustrator or Photoshop, you would not get a good
results.
You can solve your problem by exporting your Flash work as
.AI.
Your idea about the ability to copy from Flash to Illustrator
is a good idea although Illustrator can not read some of the Flash
imported information correctly. But it is still a good enahcement
idea. There is a link where you can add suggestions but I do not
remember it and I am replying using mobile, so my browsing
capabilities is limited.
I will try to post the link here when I got to my back normal
connection
Thanks alot!!

Hi you can use this function module to move a file from application server to another folder on application server.
call function 'WS_FILE_COPY'
           exporting
                destination = m_destination
                source      = m_source

I cant copy/paste from an article to my web site, get a Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.HELP

Tried to copy/paste from an article to my web site and got a "cannot copy /paste " warning and was directed to a security perferences site that said that Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.
Tried to find my Firefox profile directory using the start menu and was directed to hit enter to go to web. Feel like i am getting run around.

Let's start with something very basic, and that is, you do not need to use the paste button on most websites. The button just reads what is on your clipboard and sticks it into the form. You can do that yourself using Ctrl+v or right-click>Paste.
For your security, I suggest using those standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+x cut, Ctrl+c copy, Ctrl+v paste) or the context menu.
Occasionally you will find a paste button that runs a clean-up script or otherwise does something useful. That is where the (admittedly a bit complicated) instructions come in handy.
To open your active profile folder, you can use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Which help article are you using for the modifications?
Finally, please be cautious in opening up your clipboard to sites. You may have stuff you copied from other pages or other programs that you do not want to share with most sites.
