How to highlight & copy text from Lightning address book, versus having to open the entry?

That I can tell, it isn't possible to highlight & copy text visible in the Contact Pane or the pane above it, the one with all the address book entries. Am I missing a way to do this?
It would sure make the use of the address book in Lightning a lot more convenient & quicker to use if one could do so. Please note I did not say edit. Instead, one is required to go through all the same steps as if editing. That is, open Properties & select the appropriate tab, then highlight & copy said information, instead of just being able to quickly copy the desired text.
It's only two more clicks, & the finding of the text, which can be cumbersome in some of the small field windows, especially for notes, but when doing this often, it sure becomes a pain. Notes in particular becomes a mini database for that address entry, whether it be your personal record for product information for something purchased (which could be extensive if many of the parts of something like a specific computer were noted), to sharing contact information with others.
A third use is when having to retrieve security information that is impossible to remember, such as your BTC account(s). By keeping it in the address book on an at-home computer, adds a bit more security, yet you can still easily access it.

The add on More Functions for Address Book allows several copy functions.

  • How do I copy text from an epub book?

    how do I copy text from an epub book?

    Just some observations.
    PDF page content that is an image (and music notes may very well be that in a given PDF) then all that can be exported is the image.
    Only an image editor can "edit" such eh.
    As to textual content - once in TXT, RTF, DOC or DOCX yes, expect to have to do "cleanup"
    Of course there's the old school alternative that is always available.
    Paper copy beside you as you transcribe to a fresh word processing file.

  • How do I copy text from one layer to  another?

    I have Googled this but not a single answer seems to work.
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.6.7.
    OK, so  I  have a layer that  has some text in it.  I would like to  be able to  simply copy that  text  from one layer  to  another, but this seems to  be impossible as the Edit Paste menu item is grayed out after I have copied it in to the clipboard.  I can paste it into  the SAME layer, but not into another layer.
    This is how I am trying to  do  this.
    In the layer  with the text, click on the "T" icon to  the left.
    Click on the text, in the layer that I  want to  copy. 
    I select the text (either  by  clicking and dragging or pressing Command-A).
    Next I press Command-C.
    Then I  click on the layer In the Layer Panel) where I want to  paste the text.
    Pressing Command-V is impossible because the Edit-Paste menu option is grayed out!!!!
    WHY??????
    Perhaps more importantly, HOW do I copy text  from one layer to  another?

    First thing you can simply right click on the Text Layer and choose Duplicate Layer.  But that will create a new Text Lay
    er identical to the one you have.
    To answer your question in your case....  Create the Text Layer.   Make a New Layer.  Or have the layer you want to paste into visible.
    Highlight the text layer in the Layer Palette and Ctrl+Click (Win) Cmd+Click(Mac) so that you see marching ants walking around your text.
    Edit>Copy.
    Then highlight your Layer you want to paste into and hit Edit>Paste or Cmd+V / Ctrl+V.

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

    how can i retrieve texts from an earlier back up without changing all the other settings on my iphone?

    You can't. Restoring from a backup is all or none.
    You can use a utility such as this one to extract the messages from the backup on your computer but you can't re-transfer the messages to the Messages app on your iPhone.

    How do I get contacts from my address book in entourage to upload to icloud and so onto my ipad??  can they get to the ipad some other way??

    Thanks for the reply Julian, but I tried that and the only cards that show up in that "contacts" folder are the ones that come with the iPod: ipodcreatedsample.vcf and 2 others.
    I brought this to the genius bar at my local Apple store, and they couldn't figure out how to do it, so this one is definitely a challenge. The genius bar advice was: "try to find a solution online." Aaack.

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

  • How can i copy text from a pdf while in firefox?

    i no longer seem to be able to highlight and copy text from a pdf, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view pdfs.
    how do i turn on the select tool, so i can do this?

    When viewing a PDF with a browser you are using a browse add-on (Adobe's, Firefox's, or some other provider).
    An add-on is not the desktop application; add-ons do not provide the full functionality of the desktop application (Reader or Acrobat).
    To have full use of all Comment and Drawing Markup tools save the PDF to the local machine's HDD.
    Launch Adobe Reader XI (pre-XI releases do not have the full set of these tools).
    Open the PDF. Annotate as desired.

  • How do I copy text from a Spotlight search result quicklook window?

    Is it possible to copy text from the quicklook windows that appear when you hover over a Spotlight search result? It would be useful to be able to copy, say, a phone number or email address straight from the address book card that appears in Spotlight. The only options I see are to display the text in large type and to Facetime (for phone numbers) and to perform mapping functions for addresses; simple copying seems to be disabled for some reason.
    I am using Spotlight in OS 10.7.5.

    Once you have selected text, there will be blue circular buttons on the corners. Get the ones on the end and move them in towards the text that you want to copy. The problem that you seem to be facing where you are is that this text is a hyperlink. Because of that reason, you will have a difficult time tapping on the text without activating the link. I'm not sure you will be able to do that.

  • How can i copy text from a website without getting blue formatting?

    I can't seem to get rid of the blue background when I copy text from a website and paste it into a Word doc.
    Any suggestions?

    Use an intermediate application to "strip" the copy elements of their extraneous/unwanted data. Paste the original copy into a text-only application like TextEdit, then copy the text itself from that paste. Then, paste the text into your Word document.
