If I cut and paste a word doc in gmail or aol it will not appear when sent to my aol accountt

For the last few days when I send or receive an AOL email that was pasted from Word no text appears in the email. Using Firefox 20. If I send a email pasted from Word from my Gmail to my AOL no text appears. If I send and receive using Gmail, there is no problem. If I use Firefox 5.1.9 there is no problem with an AOL email.

Let's start with the assumption that it's most likely to be a temporary glitch.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the AOL webmail site:
Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Here you can remove your individual aol cookies.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Any improvement?
Microsoft Word has a special way of constructing HTML that preserves attributes unique to Word documents. However, when you paste that special HTML into a webmail editor, it may not be interpreted the same by different sites, all of which want to cleanse dangerous elements from that HTML. Maybe AOL has changed something? Do you know whether the messages appear blank in other browsers?
As a temporary workaround, if the messages do not contain embedded images or other non-textual elements, you could strip the HTML formatting by first pasting into a plain text editor such as Notepad, then copying from there and pasting into your email. To restore formatting (e.g., bold, italic, underline), you would need to use your webmail program's tools.
Finally, I'm not familiar with Firefox 5.1.9. Could you double-check that version number?

Cut and paste from Word into Mail

I have an earlier post where I thought I had solved this problem, but now it's back with a twist:
I can cut and paste from Word, but after a few cut and pastes, it seems as if I can only paste the last successful section of text: copying new text from word seems to work, but when pasting into Mail, only the previous section of cut and pasted text appears.
I have checked the preferences within Mail, and they are set for plain text... so there should be no problem, yes?
I also tried quitting and then restarting Mail, but had the same problem...
Any advice?

Thanks, aqua*star -
I just checked the "archiving" and "back-up" suggestions in the Mail "Help" window and got the following info:
Mail preferences and messages
Your Mail accounts, rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes preference settings can easily be backed up. Tip: All Mail-related preference files should be backed up or restored as a group.
To back up:
Note: These steps back up Mail preferences, but do not back up Mail messages (emails), although you can do that with the .Mac Backup utility. See below if you want to manually back up Mail messages (mailboxes).
Create a uniquely-named folder on your desktop (or other favorite location). For example, you might call it "Mail Prefs Backups May152005" (adding a date is a good idea).
Quit Mail if it's running.
In the Finder choose Home from the Go menu.
Open the Library folder.
Open the Preferences folder.
Copy the "com.apple.mail.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file. Don't remove the original file from its current location (this file contains your Mail accounts information).
Close the Preferences folder.
Open the Mail folder.
Copy the "MessageRules.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (this file contains your Mail rules).
Copy the "SmartMailboxes.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (you guessed it, this file contains Smart Mailboxes information).
Finally, copy the Signatures folder to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the folder. (Your custom signatures, if you use them, are stored here.)
To restore: Just move all of the copies of the files and folders from your uniquely-named folder to the original locations from which they came, as listed above.
It looks like I can save and restore the Mail rules separately from the plist...

Cut and Paste in a word doc?
Attaching Doc's to an email
closing the 'bookmark' section on safari
Is there a good "Quick Reference Guide" online so I don't have to go through trial and error or be on an 'apple support' asking silly questions. My frustration after 2 hrs is making me have 'buyers remorse'.
Thanks,

Many of the windows conventions are similar, but substitute use of the Command key for Alt key in windows when using a Mac..
http://www.danrodney.com/mac/
The big differences is Apple specified to programmers early on what these conventions would be and they are consistent (with few exceptions) on all Mac Apps.

How to cut and paste long Word document into text generator?

I have a very long list of attributions in a Word document.
When I cut and paste it into the "Sample Text" area, it goes in fine.
But when I try to look at it ... either as simple text or, preferred, scrolling ... I only get parts of the document.
I can correct it by adding a 'return' in the middle of every few words.
But my document is so long, it would take a long time to do that one by one.
Solutions sought: How to just import the whole document and have it scroll, zip-zip?!

Thank you DH and skalaki, I had not known of the Boris title generator. Funny, I had looked in the FCE online manual until 'titling' and editing text ... didn't see mention of that.
In any case ... I've now found it and trust I'll be able to figure it out.
Since skalaki was first with the answer, I awarded the 'solved' there. DH's comments were further helpful.

Cannot cut and paste in word 2004

I can no longer cut and paste from one Word document to another. Does anyone have a suggest?

Quit Word, move the Word associated preference lists out of your Preferences folder to the Desktop, relaunch Word, and see if the issue persists. If not, one or more of those moved files is corrupt. If so, then the app's corrupt and your should reinstall.

I did not sync my iPad to iTunes to my PC. Now my iPad is disabled because I forgot my passcode when I installed iOS 7 to it.
Before anyone cuts and pastes the info from Apple support in response to this, I have already tried those steps. iTunes simply states that it cannot do anything since the iPad is locked with a passcode. I cannot access iCloud to use that specific advice as iCloud will not let me sign in; a message keeps coming up reading that there is an error with the server. Remote Swipe? Not sure. It is three hours later, and I am no further.
What else can I do? I never had a passcode set up when I first got my iPad. I would have bypassed this with the installation of iOS 7 if I had known about this.
Thank you in advance.

Unable to copy and paste entire word doc.

I am trying to register for grad school and am in need of immediate help, any and all information pertaining to my problem would be useful! thank you to everyone
The pdf I am unable to paste my entire word doc. to is the third one down on this page http://www.csun.edu/hhd/cd/Fall2012DepartmentGraduateApplicationMaterials.htm, if you scroll down after selecting the 3rd pdf. you will see a large box that says to paste your statement of intent, no more than 1000 words, when I attempt to paste my 971 word statement from word it only allows 586 words and will not let me type into the document after this.
This is a legit link, and is linking you to california state university northridge's website, I am a 24 year old girl in need of technical help!!!! hehe
ANY info will be appreciated greatly!

Whoever designed the form didn't do a very good job... They probably wanted to prevent the field text from overflowing (in which case it won't be visible when printed), but the information they provide is wrong. There's no way you could fit a thousand words into this form field since it will only take 3650 characters (and a space is a character), and the average English word is usually considered to be 5 letters long. So you can probably get around 600 words into this area (600 ~= 3650 / (5 letters + 1 space per word)).
Bottom line is this: either edit your text, or contact your school and ask them to adjust the form for you. If they set the font size to Automatic and remove the character limit, the problem will basically be solved (although the text will become smaller if you enter a very large amount of it).

When I cut and paste a word form a pdf file into the search window I get wavy lines, why is this

I am editing a document and wish to look up words and other information. When I select and copy a word from my pdf document and paste it into firefox's search window, I do not get the word but wavy lines instead. How can I remedy this? Example: I am trying to look up Carl Jung and copied this name but when I try pasting it I get this wavy line: ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣

You’re omitting essential information here, namely how exactly do you paste into the message you’re composing in Mail when it crashes. Do you paste by ctrl-clicking (or right-clicking) and choosing Paste from the contextual menu maybe? Try doing Edit > Paste (⌘V) instead; I bet Mail won’t crash if you do that.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if you also have a plug-in or an input manager or a contextual menu item or something like that that has a bearing on this. In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/Contextual Menu Items/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/Contextual\ Menu\ Items/ /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/Contextual\ Menu\ Items/ ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Copy and pasting - maintaining content integrity when copy from pdf and pasting to word doc

My firm is currently using an older version of Acrobat to transfer portions of medical report to a word document format. We are only taking select excerpts and not exporting the whole document. As of now, i copy and paste the needed piece to word but the integrity of the transfer is terrible. Many misspelled words, wrong spacing, characters replacing letter, etc...We are curious if this issue could be resolved by upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat. Thanks for your help!

If you could give the version of Acrobat and post some before and after screen shots it would help us understand the issue (yes, avoid any personal info). Was the original PDF created as a scan? If so, is it clearscan or searchable? There are many issues that are hard to comment on because we don't know how the PDF was produced or what has been done to it in the meantime. It may be that an upgrade would help, but not necessarily. If you have a spare machine available, you could always download and install the trial to see if it would resolve the issue -- I would not install the trial over your current version.

Can I copy and paste into word doc without losing formatting (ie., charts and columns, etc.)

We were recently given the opportunity to have our office files scanned to searchable PDF. Now that we have an opportunity to work with the PDFs, we are interested to know if we can take text and formatting of an existing document, copy and paste it into word for editing. So far I have only been able to copy and paste the text, which I then have to reformat, space and enter into a chart, etc. We are currently using Adobe Reader. Is this a possibility if we upgrade or install a different program, such as, Adobe Acrobat?
Thank you for any and all help!

"Formattng" per se does not exist in PDF.

Tailoring cut and paste from Word to Dreamweaver 8

Hi,
I've been converting several Word documents, written by
authors at multiple institutions, to HTML using Dreamweaver 8.
My apologies for the length of this post. If there's a full
description of the process of converting from Word to HTML using
Dreamweaver, please point it out. Otherwise, here are some
questions.
1. Is there a way to specify how graphics are named? I'm
comparing this process with the File, Get Photos process in
Photoshop Elements, which allows the user to specify a renaming
convention on the fly.
2. For some of the graphics, multiple files are created,
sometimes with different file extensions (both GIF and JPG show
up), and sometimes with additions to the file names (0001, 0002).
These multiple files seem to have smaller file sizes.
RLS correction Aug 17, 2006: This is not really what
happened. In one large file, multiple copy-n-paste operations
resulted in graphics files with similar, but different, names.
3. I'm looking for a batch rename facility. I can open the
graphics files in the Files panel and rename by pressing F2, and
request via update option (on the General tab of Edit, Preferences)
that the referencing file(s) be updated. But this is slow when you
have more than just a couple to do. The batch rename facility I
wish for would both rename the files and update files that link to
them.
4. In Microsoft Word, when I do File, Save for Web (or File,
Save for Web (filtered) -- not sure of the spelling), I can click
the Tools button in the Save dialog box and select from a bunch of
different settings, including dpi etc. for graphics. Which such
setting(s) are used by Dreamweaver? I'm using the copy-n-paste
method because the File, Import method does not complete on my
machine.
5. Are there recommended steps to clean up Word first? For
example, Microsoft says that Word documents can be saved as RTF,
then re-opened, to clear up damage (see Microsoft Knowledgebase
article 826864). I found, for example, that creating internal links
in Word is faster than creating doing the same in Dreamweaver). And
I found that I should avoid the Dreamweaver option that preserves
styles. I want very simple output -- no forms, etc.
6. Is there a way to compare outputs? Adobe mentions that
leaving off the final paragraph mark in Word can cause some
formatting to be lost. I'd like to do a paragraph-by-paragraph
comparison (I know that 's ambiguous because list items are treated
as paragraphs in Word but not in HTML.)
7. To meet the request of a client, I want to preserve
highlighting in the resulting HTML (yes, I know, i'd be using the
<font> tag, but only so that the authors can quickly find
last-minute changes for review). I'd clean those <font> tags
out before going live. Can I fine-tune the HTML conversion process?
Again, my apologies for the number of questions. Partial
answers are most welcome.

do all you want,
well, you'll have to hire someone to write you an extension.

Cut and paste in Word produced rolling ball

If we force quit will we lose any unsaved changes or does Word automatically save as you go?

Hi Carol,
The default auto-save is every 10 minutes. However, it's possible that a force quit of the application may corrupt the auto-save. It sounds like, regrettably, that you're not in a position to try anything else other than a force quit and hope the auto-save kicks in.

When pasting a numbers chart into keynote the refresh button will not appear.

I tried anything I read online, like saving the numbers file, having both of them locally instead of in iCloud... But there is no way the chart gets linked to numbers...
any idea? I really need this to work. I have a quarterly presentation with many charts and the idea is to have them all in numbers so that keynote charts update.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks Gary, if that is true, which seems to be, the re-written version lacks of one of the best features the previous version had. I cannot understand why it wasn't implemented in the new re-written application.
In my case, the work around is quite bothering... Many of the charts belong to one single table. With previous version, once updated the table, all those charts were updated in Keynote, now you can imagine how tedious it has become...
Thanks anyway!!

When I try to cut and paste my resume into an online job website the reume' will not highlight ( select All), any ideas?

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.
