I can't copy and paste from Word into CSS5?

I run in Windows 7 and have many documents in Word, but cannot get any of them to Paste into Contribute.  I have had to re-type all the material directly.
Any help?

I always advise my Contribute clients to "scrub" any Microsoft text before pasting it. You might be able to do this by changing the doc to .txt?  Hopefully that would get rid of the layout code embedded in a doc or docx document.
However, since I don't trust anything Microsoft seems to have excess code attached, I first put it into Text Edit on my Mac and save it. Not sure what the equivalent program is on Windows. I think an email program could work just as well, Twigman. You might ask your tech how to save the MS doc so it has no code, like pure ascii text. That way, they will not have to leave Word to scrub the old code out.

  • 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?

  • I can't copy and paste from Word to the Internet (Firefox or Chrome), but I can copy and paste from Internet to Word

    I suddenly can't copy and paste text from Word to the internet (Firefox or Chrome, email or other websites), but I can do the reverse. Any ideas? Copy and paste works between Word docs, and it works between internet sites (e.g., web page to email), just not from Word to the internet. Please help. I need to copy and paste my resume for an online job application.

    There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
    What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
    * Ctrl+v
    * right-click > Paste
    * Edit > Paste (from the menu)
    Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

  • How do I copy and paste from Word into Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

    using Windows 7 Professional SP1, Microsoft Office 365 (Office 2013).
    I can copy the text within a word document, without a problem.
    However, the paste options are greyed out and "Ctrl"+"V" does not work.
    Am I missing something, as I can't work out how to copy the text from word, to use as a basis for my photo shop document.

    Hey, guys. I am a complete noob to Elements 13. I need to get something done relatively quickly and I need to learn how to copy and paste from a Word document. How do I do this?
    Copy the text in WORD to place it on the clipboard
    Open PSE in Expert tab
    Open your picture file
    Get the type tool out of the tool box, click an insertion point
    Go to Edit>paste
    You should see two layers in the layers palette: background layer, and layer with the text.

  • Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

    Hi,
    I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
    Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
    Thanks,
    AM

    Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

  • When I copy and paste from Word to my e-mail using Firefox it changes the font and spacing to single and 10pt. It just started doing this a month ago. It does not do it when I am on my laptop or using Explorer. Help, I hate explorer.

    If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
    Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.
    Shortcuts and workarounds tend to create awkward and difficult problems, that often only surface late in the process.

  • Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

    Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
    At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
    Thank you!

    Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

  • Can I Copy and Paste From One Project To Another?

    I have a scrolling title working very nicely in one project and wanted to "simply" copy and paste it into another project.  After doing the copy on project 1, when I get to project 2 to do the paste, there is nothing there to paste.  Is this something with Premiere Elements 12, or with my iMac for not keeping what I copied in the appropriate buffer?  I found something online that implied there was some software to do this but I can't believe that is the only solution. 
    I also created a "temporary" project for easier editing with pictures, transitions and sound added that I want to put into my "master" project.  I could create an avi and bring it over but I was hoping to have the finished project all in one source.  Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Rick

    Thanks for the info.  I'll keep that in mind if I ever want to do it again.  Unfortunately, I had already just re-done it in the master before I saw this.  Amazingly (to me, anyway), I couldn't even cut and paste the TEXT in the title to a Word doc just to save me from keying it in again.  (It was more than a title - it was like movie credits with names, songs, etc.)  I figured I could at least cut and paste the text.
    The bigger issue was I had done a "save as" of my main project, deleted all but the 55 pictures I had, then added transitions and music, burned it to a RW DVD so I could see how it looked, then figured if it looked good I would just copy and paste the info into my master.  Well I wound up redoing that as well once I figured out I couldn't do that.  In Pinnacle, whether it was a title or just the video track or audio or both it was a simple highlight of what I wanted, copy it, close that project, open another one, paste it in.  Done.
    I also had trouble editing today.  If I edited my pictures, maybe changed one or added one, it messed up my soundtrack.   In Pinnacle I would click a lock icon on the timeline and edit either the audio or video to my heart's content and not mess up the other track.  I could leave the audio in place but replace the video.  For my daughter's wedding, for example, I took video from 3 different cameras but used the audio from just one so it played smoothly but I could switch the video around for the best shots and it looked very good.
    Dare I ask how to lock just the audio or video track?  Don't spend a lot of time replying.  I already edited my music file by putting it way out in the timeline where there wasn't any video track.  Then I could split the audio clip, copy part of it, and paste it back in.  I needed the music to last a little longer while the pictures were displaying.  Then when I was done I moved it where I wanted, but even at that, I had to be careful because moving it sometimes messed up the video track if I didn't do it just right.
    The good news is I'm pretty much done with my video.

  • Copy and paste from word to InDesign - foreign characters

    Hello,
    I have a Word file using foreign typefaces, Chinese, Korean etc. I have the fonts on my machine because the word document shows them OK..but, if I try to copy and paste the text into InDesign, those characters either don't show at all, or you just get the pink color with the little gray squares...Does anyone out there have any tips for how to handle this type of situation.
    Thanks!!
    babs

    Ooooh, okay. I retract my finger-waggling cautionary statement.
    It could be one of a number of different things. I almost always place instead of copy/paste, but I don't have any difficulty copying & pasting complex script text of any sort in any of my various versions and platforms. I'd figure that there are two different possible routes - either there's something about the styling or clipboard that is doing this (meaning that it could be unpacked exactly the same way as any font drop, no complex-script knowledge necessary) or there's something about the non-Latin text itself that is causing the problem. Take a look at the clipboard settings (Edit -> Preferences -> Clipboard Handling) to see if changing those settings resolves the issue, by e.g. changing the settings to raw text.
    If that doesn't work, I'd suggest posting a lot more detail. Platform, versions of Word and Indy, the particular fonts that are failing, a description of how styles are set up in the current Word and Indy docs, perhaps a sample of the Word and Indy docs zipped up and made available for testing (e.g. if I can successfully copy/paste into the doc when your user can't, then there's something wrong with the user's install), and so on. Without that kind of information, the best I can do is take random guesses.

  • Can't copy and paste from table to table

    Just upgraded all my clients to CS 6.5 and now no one can copy and paste from table to table.  It locks up every time.  I have already dumped the program preferences and still can't do it.  This is a HUGE problem with my users.  Any help would be appreciated.  I have a wild mix of users - Mac, Windows XP and Windows 7.  Please help if you can!

    Hi Lisa,
    Thank you for contacting Adobe Support.
    The only possible workaround is that you can select (n-1) cell from a particular row where n are the total number of cells in a particular row.
    Ex- If i have a row with 3 cells so i can only select 2 cells at a time and paste it to the location where i wanted to paste and then manually select the last cell and copy paste the content where required.
    Please let us know in case of any concern.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

    I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

  • Can't copy and paste from InDesign to Illustrator

    Recently changed computers and now I dont seem to be able to copy an object from InDesign and paste into Illustrator. This used to work fine. Any ideas? Thanks

    In my experience, copying and pasting from ID to Illustrator can be quite temperamental -- it often takes a couple of attempts to get it to work, for no apparent reason.
    But I don't recall ever being unable to do so, after a few tries.

  • How can i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to another?

    Trying to shuffle around the rows as part of an everchanging schedule.  When i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to the other, the images overlay each other as if i were litterally cutting them out of paper and then sloppily pasting to another. Is there a way to set them up so crosscutting is more seamless in appearance?

    JRC,
    The reason you get that result is that you are pasting the rows to the canvas of your second document instead of into an existing table.
    Instead, make a large blank table in your receiving document and paste into that table only after clicking on the cell where you want the first cell of the copied data to be positioned.
