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.

  • Mac pro won't export iMovie to youtube -- need firefox / google chrome but will this fix it and is it safe??

    i cant export my imovie to youtube because I dont have google chrome or firefox-- however i once downloaded google chrome to my windows lap top and it went spaz... unsure if this will happen to the mac?/ any help

    Sorry.  I do not have an answer.  My movie was much longer but only 640x480.  The upload page is different than it was the last time that I used it.  It is much simpler now but seemed confusing at first.  There was a line near the top of the window that made me think athere was a problem but the upload soon finished.  I think youtubes video quality has improved.  Maybeupload a previously uploaded file, change the name,  to see if it works

  • I can no longer drag and drop pages into my bookmarks toolbar in the new firefox

    I uninstalled firefox to try google crome. Now i have uninstalled crome, and gone back to firefox. After restarted my computer i put the bookmark toolbar up but i can no longer drag sites into the bar. When i do it opens them in a whole new window.
    When i used this before i would have saved tabs in my bookmarks for easy use,
    Is this a bug or am i doing somthing wrong
    Thanks
    Mandy

    for me the problem was caused by the Torbutton add-on.
    I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).
    The generic add-on troubleshooting page is at:

  • Why after a recent systems update, I can't copy text from the internet (every web page) and paste into word?

    MacBook Pro Community,
    I need help. After a recent systems update this week, I can not longer copy and paste text from the internet. I have never had this problem before. I have searched through systems preference and google'ed it. Please help!!
    Thank you!

    A book is a lot of work and in the end needs to not only be openable, printable, but also be laid out with facing pages amongst other numerous desirable features.
    None of which suggest Pages 5 to me.
    If you want to persist in Pages 5.5 you will have to laboriously cut and paste the content into one file and hope that will still be usable when you are finished.
    Or you could export to Pages '09 or pdf format and assemble it there.

    Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
    See:
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview)
    * Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
    * You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
    * Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
    * You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
    * The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
    * To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
    * Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

  • How do you copy images from the internet and paste them on Microsoft Word

    I'm trying to copy images from the internet and trying to paste them on to Microsoft Word and Powerpoint for an assignment but it's not working. I tried to use copy and paste and then paste special but nothing is working. Saving the image onto documents and trying to open them on Microsoft Word still doesn't work.
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thank you

    Hi Lily, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    A screenshot can capture almost anything you're viewing. Hold the command and shift keys down, then press the 4 key and release all keys. Hold down the mouse button and drag the cursor to the size/area of the image you want to capture. Release the mouse button and you've captured the image. Remember that it is the individual's responsibility to respect copyright laws.

  • How do you copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?

    Does anyone know how to copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?  I would appreciate a response asap.  Thanks.

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around
    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

  • How can I copy an image/picture from the internet into a word document

    I am trying to copy and paste an image or picture from the internet and insert it into a word document. I select and copy the image from the internet page. I then go to the word document and select past special. When I select 'paste special' it only allows text to be copied and no images or pictures. If I also try to drag the image and place it in the word document. It does not allow me to do so. Any suggestions to fix this issue?

    Considering this is a MS Word issue I'd recommend reposting to that forum. You can find one at:

  • Since the last firefox update I cannot use Adobe pdf doc viewer nor can I copy and paste in my browser. I am not happy about this

    Since the last firefox upgrade my copy/paste and adobe doc viewer functionality is gone.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last upgrade

    That is a bug in Firefox.
    You can set the Boolean pref <b>dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page or alternatively hold down Ctrl+C keys until the translate selection disappears that text in the left input text area start flashing.

  • Lyrics copied from the internet can't be pasted into the song in iTunes

    A few days ago I installed the latest software update, which included a newer version of iTunes, and ever since I installed it I'm experiencing big trouble with adding lyrics to songs in my iTunes. See, if I type in the field of 'Lyrics' there's no problem; the lyrics will remain there. But when I copy-paste from the internet or Pages, iTunes suddenly 'skips' to the previous song in the playlist, without letting the lyrics stick. :s With English- or Dutch language songs it isn't really that big of a deal; I can understand it perfectly. But I also listen to foreign music, like Greek or Russian. The 'Lyrics' space is sometimes filled with the Greek or Cyrillic lyrics, a phonetic translation, and a translation into English or Dutch. So unless I become a genius in fully understanding several kinds of languages, with enough time to manually type it all in, the copy-paste option is key.
    Is there anyone who is experiencing the same thing, and/or knows what's wrong? I did restart both iTunes ánd my MacBook several times, without any luck.

    Thanks so much Jolly Giant, but it didn't work. However, because of your answer I started to think some more, and suddenly I imagined that it maybe would work if I used the ctrl + trackpad buttons, ticking 'copy' and, in iTunes, ticking 'paste', and thát worked!
    So my conclusion is that it it's only the shortcuts that I used that aren't working anymore in iTunes (shortcuts like cmd + c=copy, cmd + p=paste). I am so used using them, so it I just couldn't figure it out. Those shortcuts are working fine in Pages, TextEditor, etc, by the way.
    Thank you both for thinking with me and trying to help! Maybe this topic will help someone else who is using shortcuts way too much.

  • Do you have to down load from the internet using apple's recover partition, every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?

    Do you have to down load Mountain Lion from the internet every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?
    Thanks

    Yes you can make a USB stick of Lion or Mt Lion. Use Lion Disk Maker after you download OS X from the internet.
    For Lion you have to point the download to an external drive and watch when it completes and reboots the system to start the install disconnect the external. If you bought Mt Lion from the Mac App Store then you can download it from there and just cancel the install when it comes up on the desktop.
    If you are downloading from the Recovery HD or from the Online Internet Recovery system, slightly different then the built in Recovery HD, then again you need to point it to an external drive and discoonect that drive when the system reboots to start the real install.
    Then use Lion disk maker to create either a DVD disc or USB thumb of the install files.

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.
    Regards,
    Barry
