I accidently cut a piece of text out of a mail message

I accidently cut a piece of text out of a mail message the copied a different piece of text with out thinking is thee any way to get the first piece of cut text back?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Mail supports multiple undos. Keep on undoing from the Edit menu! Not sure how far back that undo buffer is, but keep on trying. If it doesn't work, test it so you know for the future.

    Does anyone know how to highlight text within a mac mail message?

    I can't find that option in Mac Mail's editor.  You can use a more feature rich editor like OpenOffice or Pages to create your message.  Then copy/paste into mail.

  • I cannot copy a piece of text within my web cms, security prohibited

    when i open my cms fom the website, i like to copy a piece of text, but the warning comes, that the browser prohibited it seems to be a security issue .
    Pls help
    i just want to copy and paste within my cms.

    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.

  • Finding A Piece Of Text Within A Text?

    Hi.
    I am trying to create a program to find a piece of text within a file (containing text). I know that my life could be made much easier if I had the util.java.regex package but it doesn't seem to import.
    I am working on a Windows XP Platform.
    I have tried the Hello World program which works fine but it is just trying to import this package...

    I am trying to work through this slowly so that I can understand each stage... so where I have come upto now is why does the following code not compile. I am just interested in taking a .txt file at the standard input which is used to serach against an Actor's name that I specify in the next (argument?) line?
    Thanks for all the help
    My Code so far...
    import java.io.*;
    // This line always has to be put in
    public class MyFirstFileReadingAppTwo
              // Main method
              public static void main (String args[])
              // Stream to read file
              System.out.print("Enter your filename: ");     
              BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileInputStream (System.in));
              String userName = null;
              try
              // Open the input stream
              String file = br.readLine();
              BufferedReader reader2 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
              // Read a line of text
                   System.out.println(new
                   ln(new (fin).readLine() );
              // Close our input stream
              fin.close();          
                   // Catches any error conditions
                   catch (IOException e)
                   System.err.println ("Unable to read from file");
                   System.exit(-1);
    }

  • Join multiple pieces of text

    Does anyone know of a script that will take little pieces of text in CS4 & CS5, and join them into one piece so that the text is easier to edit? I've tried joining the text by selecting it, cutting it , and putting it into a text area, but the type often gets scrambled doing it this way.

    There are a couple of scripts already about that do this… Is your broken up text from PDF where the kerning shatters it? This link has 2 examples:

  • How can i stay in time line view when i press record in garageband 1.2 for ipad. I know it's possible because i did it by accident, but i can't figure out how to do it again. It's driving me crazy....please help!!!

    How can I stay in the timeline view and not switch to instrument view when i press the record button in garageband 1.2 on ipad 2 ? I know it's possible because i did it by accident,but now i cannot figure out how to do it again. It's driving me insane......please help!!!

    After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
    - Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
    - reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

  • Getting the Physical Length of a Piece of Text (in mm etc.) in Javascript

    I'm trying to write a script in Indesign CS5 (Windows) that can measure the physical, 'rendered' length of two pieces of text of similar length (in mm etc.), calculate the average length of the two, and adjust the tracking/horizontal scale of one or both of the pieces of text so that the physical length of both texts are the same.
    I need a script because this task must be done thousands of time in a long document.
    I'm struggling to find a way to access the 'rendered' length of a piece of text in Javascript.
    I know among the attributes of a text box is whether the text has overrun. So I could copy the text to a special text-box, and use a for loop to reduce the dimentions of the text box, 1mm at a time, until the text box overruns, thus determining the length..
    I could also get the length of a rendered string using python with it's built in GUI toolkit Tkinter:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2922295/calculating-the-pixel-size-of-a-string-with-pyt hon
    And then have an indesign script that takes some data from the python script and sets the tracking/horizontal in Indesign with some fudge factors.
    Both ideas seem like real kludges.
    Any other suggestions?
    Many thanks
    David

    You can simply iterate through each line in text to get the widest line. Something like this:
    Main();
    function Main() {
        var text = app.selection[0],
        minLength, maxLength, start, end;
        for (var i = 0; i < text.lines.length; i++) {
            start = text.lines[i].characters[0].horizontalOffset,
            end = text.lines[i].characters[text.lines[i].characters.length-1].horizontalOffset;
            if (minLength == undefined || start < minLength) {
                minLength = start;
            if (maxLength == undefined || end > maxLength) {
                maxLength = end;
        var length = maxLength - minLength;
        $.writeln(length);
    But this approach seems to be a little less precise than creating outlines since (I guess) it measures up to the beginning of the last character; discretionary hyphens, line brakes, etc. are not included into the measurement.

  • Returning a piece of text in a SELECT

    Hello!
    I'm doing a search in a table that has four fields:
    ID
    NAME varchar(128)
    TEXT1 varchar(500)
    TEXT2 varvhar(500)
    Well, I need to search for a word in fields TEXT1 and TEXT2. My
    first step is to do the following:
    SELECT ID,NAME
    FROM TABLE
    WHERE CONTAINS(TEXT1,'word',1) > 0
    AND CONTAINS(TEXT2,'word',2) > 0
    Well, til here is all ok, but now... I need something more
    difficult:
    I need to obtain for each ID, the piece (or the first piece) of
    text where 'word' was found on, considering that this word can
    be allocated in TEXT1 or in TEXT2.
    Thank you very much!!
    Carlos Moreno

    Carlos...
    I'm not familiar with the CONTAINS function, but I'll assume it
    returns a number greater than zero when the desired condition is
    met.
    The way your where clause is written, the result set will
    include only those rows from TABLE where 'word' is in BOTH TEXT1
    and TEXT2.
    I'm guessing about what you want, but here goes...
    SELECT id
         , name
         , CONCAT( DECODE( SIGN( CONTAINS(text1,'word',1) )
                         , 1, CONCAT( 'From text1: '
                                      SUBSTR( text1
                                      , 1
                                      , INSTR( text1
                                             , 'word'
                                             ) + 3
                 , DECODE( SIGN( CONTAINS(text2,'word',1) )
                   , 1, CONCAT( ' From text2: '
                                SUBSTR( text2
                                , 1
                                , INSTR( text1
                                       , 'word'
                                       ) + 3
                 ) AS text
      FROM table
    WHERE CONTAINS(text1,'word',1) > 0
       AND CONTAINS(text2,'word',2) > 0
         ;The column text should contain the contents of columns text1 and
    text2 up to 'word', prepended with the 'From text1;' and 'From
    test2:'
    If the AND in the where clause is replaced with and OR, then the
    parts of text1 and text2 will only be returned if the
    contain 'word'.
    I did not test this code.
    Good Luck...

  • InDesign text out of sight in page!

    Dear All,
    I have one problem in text out of sight in page! using InDesign CS5.5 windows.@@
    In my InDesign document have 7 pages, and 3 column text flow, When I removed the 3rd column one anchored text frame it will "text out of sight" into the 2nd column text. But I can find the text and view in the story editor, but page layout its hide, and there is no reflow content and overset text warning, everything shown perfectly.
    If I removed the main threated text frame and re-created the new text frame into the respective page the text its not hide its shown perfect. I found this solution, but I want to know the actual root cause.
    Can you anyone help or suggest what is the reason?
    Regards,
    csm_phil

    Hi Peter Spier,
    Please find the attached screen shots.
    Before delete the query frames: This is the original document its shown everything fine, I just delete the author query in the 3rd column.
    After deleted the query frames: Please see the below snap shot.
    thx,

  • I'm unable to copy text out of an ADE book.

    Recently bought a new Windows PC and transferred all files to it from my old one.  Installed ADE successfully, gave it my authorization ID and all is well.  I'm able to open the book I'm interested in and browse all through it.  But I'm unable to copy text out of it.  I highlight the text in the book and when I either right-click or pull down the Edit menu, the Copy function is grayed out and clicking on it does nothing.  Ctrl-C also doesn't do anything.  This worked on my old PC.  What's up here?  Thanks for any help.  Jim

  • Adapt a piece of text to a curved shape?

    Hi to all,
    i want to adapt a piece of text to a curved shape, you have
    some examples here:
    http://www.saveyourmovies.com/images/text/TextEffect_ReShape_001.gif
    Is it possible with FH MX 11? how can i do it?
    if it is not possible, do you know any app to do it?
    NOTE: im a mac user, but lets try it windows users.

    I made this example for you;
    http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/2480/testingtoolsgt4.jpg
    (if url is not working, erase all after .jpg)
    First type and make your curve, mark both and use Attach to
    Path
    Then you see some kerning faults that you can take care of, I
    didn´t, and after this you convert to paths
    If you can find an Xtra toolbar, you will probably have a few
    tools to distort with
    I used Fisheye Lens and then 3D Rotation after that
    If you then would like color fills, maybe gradients you can
    do it in one step, or ungroup and treat each letter as you like...
    Good luck!

  • Adding a rectangle behind every piece of text in CS5

    Hi,
    I am making a series of map tiles (30) and would like to have a white rectangle behind every peice of black text in a certain layer. I know how to add a rectangle and position it behind the text, but want to avoid this repetive process.
    I understand that each piece of text has a 'bounding box' - is there a way to add a fill to this box for all text at once?
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    Mike,
    You may:
    1) Select all the instances of Type,
    2) In the Appearance palette flyout tick Add New Fill, drag it down below Characters, and change its colour to white,
    3) With the white Fill selected, Effect>Convert to Shape with the desired oversize.
    Edit: Once again, hi Kurt.
