ID CS4 slow after pasting text from MS Word
Each time I paste text from a Word document into my ID CS4 document, ID begins to run very slowly. I can't even type properly. Has anyone else seen this?
I have fixed this problem by copying all the text and pasting in the a new document (I thought the document was possibly corrupted). This fixed the problem, but it has happened multiple times now. Much of my information comes from engineers' word documents, so this is not convenient.
The best I can tell, it is related to the cross references, and that it happened after pasting was coincedental. It could have been that pasting made a cross referenced section move to another page, so it was trying to update.
The cross references are a little buggy:
EVERY time I create a cross ref from the cross ref menu (in the cross ref window), ID CS4 (with all patches) crashes. If I create them from the Text menu (at the top), it doesn't crash.
If you have a large number of cross refs in a doc, it becomes slow.
When slowness occurs, I have found that updating the cross refs and then resolving all errors in the cross ref window usually clears it up.

Pages crashed after pasting text from email - no longer able to access that document
I was working on a Pages document on my iPad, and after pasting text from an email, Pages closed. As of then, I was no longer able to open or email the document, whether on Pages itself, on iCloud or on iTunes. I worked two hours on this important document and am not sure whether this can be recovered. Any support would be most appreciated.
This is why I asked Apple to edit the entries as I showed above.
Of course, it would be useful to edit also the entry available in the iOS area.
Replace iWork for iOS by iWork (Keynote, Numbers, Pages) for iOS
or better add three entries :
Keynote for iOS
Numbers for iOS
Pages for iOS
Having four entries pointing to the same forum would not be perfect but at least it would be clear and would be a viable scheme during the time required by engineers to find a way to split the existing iWork for iOS forum in three ones.

Pasting text from Microsoft Word
I am working in InDesign on a Windows XP computer. When I paste text from Microsoft Word into InDesign the text loses its formatting such as italics and bold. Is there any way to maintain that formatting? I am supplied with this text by a client and I have so much formatting to do that the projects take me longer than necessary.
... and don't forget to run this set of macros in Word BEFORE you do copy/paste ;)

Pasting text from a word program while retaining the same italics formatting?
Hello,
I'm looking for a way to be able to copy text from another program (Microsoft Word) and then, using the Text tool in Photoshop (CS6), paste that text, but where it retains the correct italics formatting I had in the other program--and not as an image of text (Ctrl+P), in which the formatting is present, as a flat image, but rather as an actual unrasterized and editable Text layer. For example, the sentence “I told you..” where 'told' is italics, simply pastes into Photoshop as "I told you.." without the original formatting. Is there a way to get Photoshop to recognize formatting from pastes without my having to manually re-apply the formatting myself? This would be a hassle over a long period of time. If necesary I would be willing to use a plug-in that allows for this sort of recognition.
Thanks!InDesign does correctly accept Word's formatting with 2 important considerations.
In the InDesign preferences, Clipboard Handling needs to be set up to paste "All Information (Index Markers, Swatches, Styles, etc)
In Word you can't use formatting like faux Bold or faux Italic in place of using a font that has an actual Bold or Italic font style.
InDesign only allows for using fonts that have a Bold or Italic font style and no longer allows for faux styles like MS Word or older type layout applications like PageMaker or Quark (clicking a B or I button)
You can copy the Text Block in InDesign (the arrow tool - not the text tool) and paste this into Photoshop as a Vector Smart Object.
You can then use a layer style on this Vector Smart Object layer.
But all this really just a sideshow. If you are copying a small amount of text, it shouldn't take long to reformat in PS.
If you are doing a large amount of text or small amounts many, many times you should do as Willi Adelberger says and place the images in InDesign. You can place or paste text for MS Word in InDesign (and adjust or edit it if you want)
In InDesign you can color the text, apply special effects like drop shadows, embossing, etc.
Can you tell us the amount of text you deal with, how often you need to do this, and what (if anything) do you want to do to the text after you get it into PS?
I think everyone would agree with Willi's statement: "Personally I would avoid to make text objects in Photoshop if not specific raster-image effects or combinations are needed." -
How do I cut and paste text from a Word doc to my yahoo email?
I am suddenly unable to cut and paste from a Word document into the body of my yahoo email. I never had this problem before, but recently trying to paste my resume into the site 4entertainmentjobs.com, I ran into trouble. I followed your instructions and found my profile folder, but there was no user.js file in there. I created one in text edit and replaced mozilla.org with 4entertainmentjobs.com, but it still didn't work. Today I tried to go back and put Mozilla back in, but I still cannot get it to work. Then I downloaded your add-on "allow clipboard". That did not work either.
Hi Sara. Tanks for responding. If I cannot figure this out (I was up

Here are two files you can check on/help me with. When I try again, it

Please advise.

Automatically copy only the unicode-Text from a Word-Document into FM8
In my daily work I often have the problem to copy and paste text from a Word-Document or other documents into my FrameMaker documents.
The common way is to copy it in Word and "Special Paste" it in FrameMaker 8 as unicode. But this is not as confortable as to shortly hit Ctrl-v on the keyboard.
I would like to have a new menuitem to special paste only the unicode text from the clipbopard. Is there a way to make such a makro and to put it in the menubar with a Key-Trigger?
I read something like that in http://www.rzg.mpg.de/from_external/Frame6_Handbuch/Setting_up_FrameMaker.pdf (german), but I actually don't know what to chage for my case.Rather than create a new menu item (possible, I gather, but fiddly) I would recommendchanging the default “paste” behaviour.
In the MAKER.INI file there is a line beginning
ClipboardFormatsPriorities=
Change this to put UNICODE TEXT as the first item.
Ctrl-v will then paste Unicode text by default. You can still access the other options, should you need to, by using Paste Special. -
Muse 3.1 crashes often upon copy and paste 'text'from illustrator
Experience persistent crashes in Muse 3.1 whenever I copy and paste text from illustrator to Muse.
I would use the older version so you can continue working while troubleshooting continues in CC2014, if you haven't uninstalled it yet (and it didn't also lose the ability to copy/paste).
Have you tried any of the usual suspects?

Problems copy & paste text from PDF to InDesign CS5
Hey guys
Today, I tried copying and pasting text from a PDF I received from my client, into a InDesign CS5 doc, and the text came out was just random numbers and punctuations.
I've tried exporting Word / RTF & TXT file from the PDF and yet they still come out random. I'm not sure if it's just how the PDF was made, or there is something wrong with my CS5.
I'm on Snow Leopard, CS5 Premium, Acrobat Pro 9 & also Acrobat Reader X.
Any ideas why?It's the PDF.
Usually, you can copy text out of a PDF, but there is no guarantee *at all*. Older software used to take shortcuts to subset fonts: first character it encountered got coded as #1, the next as #2, etc. etc. If you do a search & replace of each of the nonsense characters, you'll slowly see the original text appearing (thst's not as simple as it sounds, though).
A similar "problem" is that sometimes spaces don't get copied (there is no need for a "Space Character" in a PDF), and that you cannot copy contiguous lines of text as a single paragraph. All of it is because a PDF is not intended nor designed to be re-used after creation.
If you really need this text and don't want to type it in, try to get hold of the original file. -
When I try to cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I receive an error that says 'Not enough memory, close applications and restart windows'. This never works! I never had this issue with IE! How can I fix this issue?
If the crashing only happens with other peoples projects it could be for a variety of reasons. There are tons of asset references saved in the library (the location every item was imported from) and much more. None of those locations will exist on your system and internal complications may simply happen, especially with any runtime shared assets.
If possible you should consider adding more system RAM so you can multi-task. RAM is extremely cheap. I'm assuming from a smaller 500GB HD and 4GB RAM that you're probably on a laptop however. Installing RAM is still usually pretty easy if you have the notebook manual (or grab it online). It typically involves just lifting the keyboard or opening a single panel on the bottom of the notebook but it varies greatly. At any rate, 8GB RAM would help you quite a bit. If you do, just make sure you get the correct type of RAM (again, in the specs in your manual).
Even when you run out of physical RAM, Flash (like any other application) will still see more RAM based on the OS's swap memory setting (using available space on your HD as RAM). It will get much slower but Flash should see the total amount the 32bit OS can handle for RAM (it doesn't know if it's physical fast RAM or SWAP (fake) HD RAM though). If you open other apps with Flash they should also operate, but will also use swap RAM and you've probably noticed your HD crunching a lot while more apps are open.
That said, I have a 4GB RAM in my older i7 lappie and have used Flash CS5.5 and CS6 on it extensively, with other applications open. Although my projects contain mild assets and mostly tons of code. No issues at all. I just think your heavy assets are crashing you.
Either way, glad you got your work done. You're welcome and good luck! -
Cannot paste text from CS3 to Word or Notepad.
Cannot paste text from Photoshop CS3 to Word or Notepad or anything else. CAN paste from Word and Notepad TO Photoshop CS3. CAN paste within Photoshop CS3.
(I HAVE applied the clipboard registry fix mentioned elsewhere.)There is a setting in the General Preferences you need to have checked to enable "Export to Clipboard". Do you have this entry checked? After you set this, you may have to re-start PS3 to activate the new setting.

Preview - Cannot copy and paste text from pdf
Hi there ...
I usually have no problem copying and pasting text from a pdf using Preview ...
However .. I recently received a pdf ... and there is no way it will highlight the text to copy ...
The older pdf's are not affected ...
I did a get info on the pdf ... it's not locked ... and it was made by Adobe In Design CS2
I tried opening it with Adobe Reader 9 ...... but still no luck
IN my search .. I noticed one other person had the same problem ... but he didn't get any responses..
Thanks for any info ....If it's behind something else then you can open it in Illustrator and select the specific object you want. If it's rasterized then no.
If this is a document you can share with the world then I'm sure we could tell you what specifically is going on if you posted it here. -
I can't paste text from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.
Hello everyone,
Since a few days I'm not able to paste texts from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.
I never have problems with Photoshop CC before.
I have the new iOS Yosemite installed in my macbook.
It's really frustrating, can someone help please?I have basically the same setup, except on a Mac Mini. I am unable to reproduce your problem. Double check that you are copying the original text in the first place, and then make sure you are pasting into a text layer as you cannot paste into a regular Photoshop layer -- nothing will happen. Create a text layer by clicking on a regular layer with the text tool, the T in the tool box. The new layer will show up in the layers panel identified by the first line of the text.
