Images pasted from Word clipboard all turn green

If I copy an image from a Word document, and paste it into Fireworks, it turns fluoro green. The image is still visible, but appears to be colorized green. What could cause this? It used to work fine. (using a Mac) Thanks

"Select the ones you want to export with shift+click and choose "Unembed file"? "
It didn't worked, the option was gray. I think this is because there were no original file for the pictures as they were embeded in the word document in the first place.
Concerning the word option "save as a web page", it works partialy. It exports the images, but they were cropped. If parts of the original pictures were hidden, they won't be exported and as my new layout is a little different, that could cause problems.
So, I already redid the job so I don't have the problem anymore but I think it would be good for the InDesign team to know there is a problem with copy/paste to correct it in the future. The image name should be incremented with each new pasted image.
Concerning me, the method I choose to work it around was to resize the pictures in word (get them to the original size because they were for the most resized) and right-click on them to save the images individually.
This way, I only had then to go to InDesign and relink each picture one by one (I had 240 pictures) to the file exported from word.
Now my document is done "the best way" with linked pictures and not embeded ones, but in cases like this, when the original files have embeded pictures, it takes too much time to save them and link them compared to a simple copy/paste of the page.
So I'm ok now, I just wanted to let Adobe know about the bug.
Bye and thanks to all who answered :)

Pasting from Word into PDF changes graphic size?

I send PDF newsletters to customers who like to be able to add their own logo or a sentence at the bottom.
In the past (Acrobat 8 and earlier), I would save the PDF as User Enabled. The customer could then copy a graphic or text from a Word document and paste it into the PDF.
Now, in Acrobat 9, with Enable for Commenting or Extend Features, the customer can still paste graphics or text, but it makes the pasted item enormous! For example, the word "Hello" is typed in MS Word at 12 pt Times Roman, and copied. When it is pasted in the PDF it becomes about 48 pt and distorted in proportion. Likewise a 7-inch banner graphic in Word becomes huge and overflows the page when pasted into a PDF.
This didn't used to happen. Any suggestions for a fix? Is there a Preference I need to set? A different way I should Enable for Commenting?
Thanks!
Elise

There does not seems to be any preference that can be set. Clipboard text or images are placed as stamps.
One option for people who just need to paste text would be for them to insert a text comment field and paste their formatted text from Word there. (The reason to paste from Word is because the formatting will be maintained.)
Your customers may want to consider making their own custom stamp for their logo and/or any standard text that they want to appear on your newsletter. If they had their logo and text set up in Word, they could create a pdf using Acrobat.com or another free service. In Reader, they could use that pdf to define a custom stamp. A custom stamp would eliminate cutting and pasting and could be resized easily. The stamps could only be used in pdf documents that have commenting enabled, but they would not have to create a custom stamp for each newsletter – previously made stamps would be available to use in future newsletters.

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.

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...

How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?

How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ? I have the icon but the program starts up and I have to delete it manually from the desktop to clear my screen for other work...

Are you using a Windows or a Mac? What you're seeing (the backwards L shaped menu) is probably the Canon Quick Menu. If you have a Mac you can go into your applications, select Canon Utilities, then drag Canon Quick menu to the trash and empty trash can. On Windows you'd go to the control panel, select Programs and Features (or Uninstall Program/Add or Remove Program) and uninstall the Canon Quick Menu. Not required for all the normal functions of the printer. You can do the same thing for My Image Garden. Also not required.

How to paste from Word and retain formating

My co-worker and I are both running Dreamweaver. However for
some reason I can copy and paste from Word into Dreamweaver and
retain the formatting (bold/italic etc) but she can not. I've done
searches on this board and online in general but haven't found
anything about this issue. Keep in mind that we are not importing
HTML from word, just basic cutting and pasting. The paragraph
returns are retained but the bold/italic formatting is lost. We
don't need the styles to come through (and would rather they not
-they tend to corrupt the html-it get's all wonky) just the
formatting.
I'm sure it's something silly like a preference in Word or
Dreamweaver but we can't seem to find it, or any one else who is
having the same issue.
Our next step is to reinstall Dreamweaver to see if that may
clear the issue...
Any thoughts?

In DW 8 try PASTE SPECIAL. It gives you options for how much
or how little
formatting you want to retain when you paste.

Pasting from Word ridiculously slow

Hi I wonder if anyone has had this problem:
When I paste from Word (Word 2004 for Mac) to ID 5 it takes a ridiculously long time--maybe a full mintue for 10 lines or so.
I am a book designer and going back and forth from Word to ID all day long--this is driving me crazy (it only started in the past month or so).
I often PLACE (which is also very slow, but it makes more sense since it brings in the formatting) but sometimes I need to PASTE short bits of text and it is excruciating!
Anyone else have this trouble? Know how to fix it?
Any suggestions, much appreciated.

Thanks for responding, Gail. Yes, I am copying and pasting properly. I had no problem whatsoever pasting Word into Mail until I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion.
As far as the other question goes, I will put off taking a lot of time trying to get through to Microsoft Word for as a long as I can!

Just tested. No problem with cut & paste here from Word to Mail. Using Office 2011 (14.3.2) which opens all my old word files. You could try Pager or OpenOffice to try to open your old .docs if you wish, but I would try uninstalling and reinstalling MS Office first. Should not be acting like this, and have never had a copatability problem.

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?

Dreamweaver CS3- can not paste from Word into Design mode window

Have been away from DW for a while, and upon return having a
bit of difficulty with paste function for text. I can select text
in design mode/window; I can type in design mode, but I can not
paste into design mode. I can only paste in code view or the code
half of split view. Is there a setting/preference I have set wrong?

Retain formating when pasting from Word to longtext(IA06)

I realize this is similar to other posts, however after searching the forum I have yet to find the answer to my problem. Recently some users returned from a conferenence and were exited after being told that they could cut&paste from Word into the longtext of IA02 and IA06 in ECC6.0 which we just completed upgrading to.
They were also told that the new version had advanced formatting features not found in 4.7 (what we upgraded from).
I've looked high and low and not been able to achieve what they were told. It appears that the pasted text is accept as "plain text" and thus the formatting is lost.
Can someone please confirm these new abilities?
Thanks,
Ob

To maintain links you have to use the PDFMaker plugin. I'm guessing it's
not available for your combination of Office and Acrobat, so you're out of
luck.

Cut/Paste from Word to Illustrator CS3 for Mac suddenly not working

This issue regards Illustrator CS3 for Mac on a Mac Pro with 6 GB.
Exactly one week ago I created a number of Illustrator files by cutting charts from a Word 2008 document and pasting them into an Illustrator document.
In the past I have dragged the images (or clip art) or simply used Control-C or even Control-X, but by whatever method I opted for, getting the image from Word to Illustrator CS3 has not been a problem.
Yesterday I got a new chart and a request to replace an old image - one that I had created last week on Tuesday by the Drag/Drop or Cut/Paste method.   For reasons I can't begin to imagine the process simply won't work now.
I also find that if I simply select text in a Word Document, hit Ctrl-C and then try a Ctrl-V in Illustrator I don't get to see my text pasted in - ONLY if I already have a text block open and the cursor in place will I get to see the text copied over into Illustrator. This is very strange and not at all how things have worked in the past - typically I would see the new Text Object just appear, and then I could move it to wherever I wanted.
I have opened up a number of old files that I know were created with copied text and also opened the associated Word files (earlier versions of Word) and again find that I can't copy text over, or even move images over - even though I clearly could do this before. I have also tried entirely new files - also with no success.
I was at an Apple one-to-one session this morning and they were more than mystified by this. I can Cut and Paste into Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I can't even cut and paste from Adobe Photoshop Elements into Illustrator CS3.   I can drag the Photoshop file (from the Finder window) into the Illustrator document and poof - get my image that way, but it's as an image only. If the base image in question is a vector image or something else having a plurality of elements, I can't then select the elements in Illustrator to change their color, delete them, or otherwise play with them.
I have brought up a word document on another Mac system that also has Illustrator CS3 and find that it too can't drag/drop cut/paste between the two applications.   At Apple, we did confirm that such ability is operational in the new Illustrator CS4, but none of their store systems still have CS3 to provide yet a third system to test.
I have deleted my Illustrator CS3 preferences, tried flushing the p-ram, and of course run fix and repair permissions - no dice.
My Mac systems update daily and there is nothing in the main update log that shows anything for Adobe or Office (nor do I think there should be). Adobe Update reports that everything is up to date, and I don't see a history file to know what might have changed in the last week.   Office also reports fully up to date and happy.
As I can cut and paste the images into an email for Mail and into Photoshop, I am fairly certain that it is NOT a Microsoft Office 2008 issue. The fact that another Mac with Illustrator CS3 also can't cut and paste suggests that is is really not something personal to my main system.
It is almost as if this is some clandestine "update" intended to encourage me to buy Illustrator CS4. Given that I bought Illustrator CS3 less than a year ago, I really am not eager to buy the new version.   The greeting on the Adobe Support page that CS3 is no longer the current version and therefore supported was most annoying.
I am really hoping that someone out there has an idea of what to try changing, removing and/or adjusting with respect to Adobe Illustrator CS3.

I tried the Select by Path option - can't believe I missed it - and found it made no difference.
I actually uninstalled and reinstalled the whole app. When I tried to simply re-install (can't remember it's exact phrase) it got part way through and then demanded another disk - but I only have one DVD with the application - the extra DVD is for tutorials and it didn't accept that one either. So I restarted that process and chose to completely uninstall. Then reinstalled - hey with only my one disk - gee, just like the first time.   And then it seemed to work.
I was not aware of the save as PDF option - but yes I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac so that option is there - and it seems to work too.
There were of course a slue of updates, and I let them all proceed - but even with them all in place the system is fine and I can once again drag and drop / cut and paste things back and forth.   I just tried a text block and "The Quick Brown Fox" pasted in with a clipping mask about 10 times the size of the document, but other than that it was ok.
So I have things working again on my primary system.   Will try and figure out what's wrong with the other one - but a reinstall might be the easiest game there too.

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?

Copy and Paste from Word to ID – as text please?

Recently upgraded to CS4 and Office 2008. Now when I copy and paste text from Word to ID it only comes in as an image. If I'm copying a single paragraph from a lengthy Word doc, I really don't want to have to paste it into a new Word doc, save that, and then Place... into ID.
Is there really no way to simply copy and paste some TEXT from Word to ID?? Who asked for text to be pasted as images?

Sorry, I know this is an old post, but I'm not really finding many newer posts about this (although I did also find this article online via built-in InDesign Help, which contains a couple more recent responses: http://indesignsecrets.com/when-pasting-text-from-word-turns-it-into-an-image-in-indesign. php).
Anyway, as a long-time Mac user, I can confirm the OP's dilemma.
I just upgraded from a pre-Intel Power Mac G5, OS X 10.5.8, CS2 Premium, Word 2004 for Mac to a late-2011 MacBook Pro, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, CS5.5, Word 2011.
This definitely is working as the OP is describing. Select text in .docx file, Cmd-Tab to InDesign, paste (with nothing selected)... pastes as an image.
Drawing a text frame in InDesign *first* and *then* pasting the text does work, though (unlike the OP, it's not pasting as an inline graphic for me, so something may have been addressed since his posts), as does pasting the text from Word into TextEdit, then copying the text from TextEdit and pasting into InDesign (it is not necessary to first draw a text frame if pasting from TextEdit).
I can also paste the text from Word into Dreamweaver and then into InDesign, and it'll be actual text in both locations, without having to first draw a text frame in InDesign.
For some reason, though, it's not liking the Word-to-InDesign transition.
I even tried saving the file as a text-only file (.txt), opened that in Word, copied some text, pasted into InDesign with nothing selected... still being pasted as an image.
So, anyway, workaround method it is, for now.
(Yes, placing the Word doc -- as opposed to copying/pasting -- does still work, but if you're only trying to grab a few lines of text from the file, placing becomes more of a hassle.)

Paste from System Clipboard

Hi,
I've been looking all over on how to copy and paste to/from the system clipboard. I've used the tutorial classes at http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/releases/data/ explaining new data transfer capabilities in java, and it seems that I can copy and paste to/from a java application but I can't seem to paste images from the system clipboard in applications such as Thunderbird and OpenOffice.
I'm not sure what the problem or solution is, but if anyone has any ideas that would be great. I was thinking it may be that in the tutorial it is copying the content of a JComponent to the system clipboard but I'm pretty sure that is not it.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks

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.
