Cut and Paste in a word doc?
Attaching Doc's to an email
closing the 'bookmark' section on safari
Is there a good "Quick Reference Guide" online so I don't have to go through trial and error or be on an 'apple support' asking silly questions. My frustration after 2 hrs is making me have 'buyers remorse'.
Thanks,

Many of the windows conventions are similar, but substitute use of the Command key for Alt key in windows when using a Mac..

The big differences is Apple specified to programmers early on what these conventions would be and they are consistent (with few exceptions) on all Mac Apps.
Here's another guide

How to cut and paste long Word document into text generator?

I have a very long list of attributions in a Word document.
When I cut and paste it into the "Sample Text" area, it goes in fine.
But when I try to look at it ... either as simple text or, preferred, scrolling ... I only get parts of the document.
I can correct it by adding a 'return' in the middle of every few words.
But my document is so long, it would take a long time to do that one by one.
Solutions sought: How to just import the whole document and have it scroll, zip-zip?!

Thank you DH and skalaki, I had not known of the Boris title generator. Funny, I had looked in the FCE online manual until 'titling' and editing text ... didn't see mention of that.
In any case ... I've now found it and trust I'll be able to figure it out.
Since skalaki was first with the answer, I awarded the 'solved' there. DH's comments were further helpful.

I believe that albums are sorted by the creation date. I don't think that you can change this in the Photos App.

Cut and paste from Word into Mail

I have an earlier post where I thought I had solved this problem, but now it's back with a twist:
I can cut and paste from Word, but after a few cut and pastes, it seems as if I can only paste the last successful section of text: copying new text from word seems to work, but when pasting into Mail, only the previous section of cut and pasted text appears.
I have checked the preferences within Mail, and they are set for plain text... so there should be no problem, yes?
I also tried quitting and then restarting Mail, but had the same problem...
Any advice?

Thanks, aqua*star -
I just checked the "archiving" and "back-up" suggestions in the Mail "Help" window and got the following info:
Mail preferences and messages
Your Mail accounts, rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes preference settings can easily be backed up. Tip: All Mail-related preference files should be backed up or restored as a group.
To back up:
Note: These steps back up Mail preferences, but do not back up Mail messages (emails), although you can do that with the .Mac Backup utility. See below if you want to manually back up Mail messages (mailboxes).
Create a uniquely-named folder on your desktop (or other favorite location). For example, you might call it "Mail Prefs Backups May152005" (adding a date is a good idea).
Quit Mail if it's running.
In the Finder choose Home from the Go menu.
Open the Library folder.
Open the Preferences folder.
Copy the "com.apple.mail.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file. Don't remove the original file from its current location (this file contains your Mail accounts information).
Close the Preferences folder.
Open the Mail folder.
Copy the "MessageRules.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (this file contains your Mail rules).
Copy the "SmartMailboxes.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (you guessed it, this file contains Smart Mailboxes information).
Finally, copy the Signatures folder to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the folder. (Your custom signatures, if you use them, are stored here.)
To restore: Just move all of the copies of the files and folders from your uniquely-named folder to the original locations from which they came, as listed above.
It looks like I can save and restore the Mail rules separately from the plist...

How to Cut and Paste (and delete)

So I doubled down last month and got a new Bold and a Playbook. This despite poor reviews and RiM's bad press.
The reason is that I wanted my Playbook to replace my notebook when at home and traveling. Well, I blew out my knee playing sports and have been working from home post-surgery. Playbook is great for couch while knee cup and iced.
My very big frustration - and it really affects my work capability - is the Playbook's capability at cutting and pasting. I need to be able to cut and paste links and text and edresses from emails and internet and msword to each other. Is this possible outside word to go? How? Relatedly, I need to be able to delete and edit the text of forwarded emails, so I can remove ill-advised intermediate commentary.
For a tablet whose competitive advantage MUST be ease of business use, these are big issues. If these capabilities aren't there on the Playbook, I would implore RIM to address and other forum users to lobby for same. RIM has to get these kinds of issues right to survive.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. - I searched topics and didn't find answer.
P.P.S. - I also badly need the ability to redline or mark my changes in word to go. Crucial!

Looks to me like the decision was made to disable copy and paste in bridged apps maybe for security reasons. Seems to be a bit erratic too as some discussions include people that claim to be able to do it, maybe it's OS version dependant. Would have been nice if we could have been given the option though!
To me it's issues like this that make the Playbook seem more like a beta level rushed to market device than a fully developed business tool. And now RIM can't even get the functions that would make what is great hardware truly useful within a reasonable timescale!

Cannot cut and paste in word 2004

I can no longer cut and paste from one Word document to another. Does anyone have a suggest?

Quit Word, move the Word associated preference lists out of your Preferences folder to the Desktop, relaunch Word, and see if the issue persists. If not, one or more of those moved files is corrupt. If so, then the app's corrupt and your should reinstall.

How to Cut and Paste a file on Mac

Hey guys,
Nice to meet you here. I am a new Mac Book Pro 13" Retina Display user with OS X Yosemite. I just switched to Mac from Windows last week.
So far I have a great experience using Mac. However one thing is troubling me. How do I cut and paste a file? I've tried command+x and command+v but it doesnt work. I can copy and paste though by using command+c and command+v.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Arief

nice pick...........
I mean that i dont have to cut and paste just data in
that files, but i have to cut and paste whole file
from one location to other.
Yup, if you need to do that physically you walk over to the filing cabinet, get the file out, cut it to pieces, take the pieces to the new location, glue them back together, and put the recreated file in the new filing cabinet.

How to cut and paste multiple items

How can you cut and paste multiple items on the clipboard?

Just go to Security & Privacy, unlock it with your admin password...
...and under the "General" tab allow applications... tick "Anywhere". After the install, I'd change it back. You can also just control-click the app/installer and select "Open" - you'll get a warning that the app is from an unidentified developer, but it will open.
Good luck,

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.

Is it possible to export my contacts? if so how? cut and paste does not help as all i need is the name

all my contacts have cell phone numbers next to their name. i would like to print a list of only this field. How do i do this? i tried to cut and past to Excel but it not a "clean fit" and is more trouble than it is worth. is there an easier way?

Firefox does not have a contacts list. Any contacts list will be part of a website that you are using, you need to contact the support for the site to see if they have an option to export the contacts.

How to cut and paste a picture into a shape in Illustrator CS4

In illustrator CS4 I am trying to cut and paste a picture into a shape. In freehand the shortcut was so easy. I know there is one in Illustrator but cant remember what it is, can anyone tell me?

K8,
What Steve said, with the addition that you may get rid of the outlying parts, by:
1) With the mask selected, in the Transparency palette dropdown select anything but Normal,
2) Object>Flatten Transparency, no need to change options,
unless you have withheld information and really want to distort the picture to fit the shape, in which case you should select both shape and picture and Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Top Object.
The procedure 1) - 2) is destructive in case of vector artwork but makes no difference with raster images, and it makes it easier to avoid accidental/unwanted selection outside the Clipping Mask.

How to cut and paste in os x lion

if i need to cut a folder and paste it somewhere else ,, what would i do ? also in the edit menu i find the cut option is inactive ,,why ? any help

The above instructions will make a copy of the file in the new location, leaving the original in its place.
To CUT and paste you:
(1) Highlight file/folder, and copy from Edit menu or command-c.
(2) Navigate to destination, hold option key down and select "Move item here" from Edit menu, or hit option-command-v.
This will move the file to the new location, removing the file from the old location.
