Indesign CS3 - copy paste and export problem

When I try to copy text in Indesign CS3 and paste it in Word 2007 - or even in notepad - nothing happens. Pasting works fine when I stay in Indesign, but not when I try to paste it in another application.
So I tried to export text to RTF (selecting text, export to rtf, give a name als save), but no file was created.
Pasting text from another app. into Indesign just works fine.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
Thanks for any advise.
(Windows Vista, Dell 9200, 4 MB memory)

I solve this problem in windows XP using the Phaedra's first optimistic tip and worked fine to me.
When I tested the IDcs3 in another profile it was clear that the problem is not in the program, but in permissions or another detail in the user config.
To simplifly my life, I create a new user account "MIGUEL2" in Windows as admin powers. With this new account I "reboot" my oldest ("MIGUEL") account to user mode. Restarted windows and, with "MIGUEL2" I reset the privileges to "MIGUEL" to admin user.
Now I can export txt and rtf files from IDcs3. ;)
You can skip the last step and work only with the new account or just work as user, not admin...
Really weird. Why this happened? I don't know... but I'm happy that was too simple to solve...
Best wishes

JS CS3 copy, paste and transform

I have a script that allows the user to select objects on a page (in this case text frames) and create a new page user defined and then paste the selection on the page and make it fit the page size.
I'm having a slight problem where the text frames in the group are not showing the text (get text overflow) after the resize. If I comment out the myGroup.geometricBounds = [0,0,38,38]; line in the script below and manually resize the group to the document height and width (38,38) the text frames in the group are all ok.
var myNewGroup = new Array;
for (i=app.selection.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
myNewGroup.push (app.selection[i]);
var myGroup = app.activeDocument.groups.add(myNewGroup);
myGroup.move(Array(0,0) )
myGroup.geometricBounds = [0,0,38,38];
If anyone has any suggetions it would be greatly appreciated.
John.

This seems to be working. I went with the transform() in the end. If anyone has a better way please let me know.
var myNewGroup = new Array;
     //make group
for (i=app.selection.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
    myNewGroup.push (app.selection[i]);
var myGroup = app.activeDocument.groups.add(myNewGroup);
myGroup.move(Array(0,0) )
       //get size of group
var mySelSize = myGroup.geometricBounds;
         //get size of document
    var myDocHSize = app.activeDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
    var myDocWSize = app.activeDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
         //get scale value
    var myScalH = myDocHSize/mySelSize[2];
    var myScalW = myDocWSize/mySelSize[3];
         //apply transform scale
    var myScaleMatrix = app.transformationMatrices.add({horizontalScaleFactor:myScalW, verticalScaleFactor:myScalH});
    myGroup.transform(CoordinateSpaces.pasteboardCoordinates,AnchorPoint.topLeftAnchor, myScaleMatrix);

How do I reinstall the edit button on my Firefox 4 toolbar; cut, copy, paste, and print?

I recently have been having problems with my Firefox 4 tool bars. Right now, the Edit icons are no longer on the tool bar, specifically Cut, Copy, Paste, and Print. If there were other Edit icons, they too are gone. All the other icons have remained.
I would appreciate it if you could advise me how to reinstall those specific icons.
Also recently, ALL my tool bars, and task and status bar disappeared. This was only in Firefox 4.0; IE 8 was not affected. Clicking F11 did not work. I could not function without them. Then, a short time later, they "automatically" reappeared. I have not idea of why the disappeared or reappeared.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Sanford A. Berman

You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut buttons next to Firefox > Edit (and in its sub menu) and in the regular Edit menu on the menu bar (press F10 if the menu bar is hidden).
The buttons next to Firefox > Edit are enabled if there is something to do with them, just like with the toolbar buttons.
You can find the Copy, Paste, and Cut toolbar buttons in the toolbar palette in the Customize window and drag them on a toolbar.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

Copy/paste and drag/drop not working in Mt. Lion

After two weeks of searching, I can not find the hangup which is causing my iMac 27" 10.8 to stop copy/paste and drag/drop following successfully doing the same shortly after startup. In Safe Mode, it doesn't happen, so I'm wondering how to track down this problem (extension?). I have to restart in order to get it functioning again after a short time of working. There has to be some kind of timing, like a program installed with a time limit which probably was forgotten in Lion and then reared its ugly head in Mt. Lion. Any suggestions for tracking this puppy? Or is there a program I could buy to do so?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'

Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

JList & cut/copy/paste and focus

I have a JFrame with a typical edit menu (cut/copy/paste) and also a JList. I have hooked up the menus such that cut copy paste 'do the right thing' in regards to the current selection of the JList. However, if the JList has focus and i keyboard ctrl-x for instance, it looks like the JList is grabbing and handling the cut, as opposed to my menu code. How do I get the JList to ignore the keyboard when it has focus, or do I install my handlers in the JList somehow?

Thanks for the response. This area really smells to me. Which I infer means i don't really understand this area, otherwise it wouldn't be so wretched.
For instance the default cut action on a JList, doesn't seem to do anything, while the copy works correctly.
So why would you ever use the default actions? I guess i can install my menu actions in the JList, just seems badly designed... so am i wrong?
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class MyJListFrame extends JFrame
     public static void main(String[] args)
          MyJListFrame f = new MyJListFrame();
          f.setVisible(true);
     public MyJListFrame()
          Container cp = getContentPane();
          DefaultListModel dtm = new DefaultListModel()
          {{addElement("This");addElement("is");addElement("a");addElement("test");}};
          cp.add( new JList( dtm ));
          pack();

Copying, pasting and editing audio problem?

hi, i have some audio tracks that i originally recorded in pro tools le
(no plugin delay compensation if using uad's or other 3rd party plugs dont even go there by the way)
and have exported them to logic 8 and changed the arrangment for a song.
The problem is when i cut and paste sections of an audio track to a different part of the song, if i trim, cut, mute or pull it back it changes the part of the audio that i originally pasted it from?
how do i stop this from happening?
can anyone help
thanks

Once you've copied/pasted the new region to where you want it, select the new region and press:
OptionCmdF
You will then be prompted to give a new filename for the audio file. This generates a new file, which can be edited separately from the original.

Problems to copy paste and drag

Hi,
I have some troubles to copy paste in the finder, mail, iphoto using the keybord or mouse. I can copy but not paste.
And I can't drag files from one place to another in the Finder, same for e-mails in Mail and photos in IPhoto. I don't think it's the mouse because it is working when I drag tabs to reorder them in Safari.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem? It is very frustrating, especially when you try to tidy your desktop and you can't move files, or when you try to capy paste a website adress from one e-mail to another or to safari.
Thanks for your help!

InDesign CS3 crashes when I export a PDF. I have updated it to 5.0.4 but it still crashed. I bought it as part of the Design Premium pack. How do I uninstall InDesignCS3 and reinstall the original software?

Hi, the title says it all
I've been trying to find out on the Adobe site how to uninstall CS3 Design Premium and then reinstall the original software in the hope that this will eliminate the crashing problem, which only started yesterday.
You're help will be very much appreciated.

Run the cleaner tool and reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Just be aware that none of this will matter if you are using a newer version of e.g. Acrobat that by ways of updates may introduce/ have introduced an incompatible version of one of the PDF libraries commonly shared and used by all Adobe programs. you have to tread lightly and be careful...

InDesign CS3 - CS4 compatibility and backwards compatibility

About to purchase InDesign CS4 for the PC. A colleague in the non-profit association I will be sharing projects with uses CS3 on a Mac.
Are there any issues with us exchaning InDesign files from CS3 -> CS4 and from CS4 -> CS4?
Regards
Ian

CS3>CS4...usually no problems, you can use InDesign´s native file format indd. You may have some difficulties with fonts if you transfer files from Mac to Win or vice versa. Specially with some older non-open-type fonts. You can´t use same font with both OS, so you must have own versions for Mac and Win. And they will not always match perfectly.
CS4>CS3 works if you export your file to INX format. You will face some problems if you have used CS4 features that doesn´t exsist in CS3... and of course you may have issues with fonts too but that´s not really because of indesign. You will have same font issues with other softwares too, if you transfer files between Mac and Win.

Booklet issues with InDesign CS3 on Mac, and Xerox WorkCentre 7655 booklet maker

I'm having several booklet making issues I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I am on a MacPro, OS X Leopard, InDesign CS3. We have a Xerox WorkCentre 7655 that has booklet making capability. The network server is a PC with Microsoft 2003 server on it.
The booklet I am making uses two 11x17 trays - one for cover stock for the cover and one for regular 24 lb paper for the insides. The layout is single pages rather than spreads - spreads did not work at all.
From InDesign using the printer, the cover pages come out backwards and mirror image. The inside pages are upside down and on only half the page. I did not not InDesign file/booklet because that seemed to create even more problems with the Xerox booklet settings, and I don't know how to try InDesign booklet and not the Xerox settings.
I tried making a pdf and printing booklets from that. On the Macintosh, I can't figure out how to tell it the pages are 11x17 so it keeps giving me an error that the printer is waiting for 8 1/2 x 11.
I actually did get the booklets to print properly using the pdf file and a PC, but any gray graphics came out lilac. The text was black, and the covers were the correct colors - only the inside graphics were the wrong color.
I hope this makes some sense - I really need help. I've tried everything I can think of. I spent a lot of time with Xerox 1st and 2nd level support, and they have washed their hands of this. So I'm posting here hoping someone has some ideas.
Any other information anyone might need for this issue? Thanks so much.

I have a similar machine configuration and have had many issues printing to an HP 9500mfp. Pages rotate, mirror, 2-sided both print on same side. I've lost the "bookletmake" function. Jobs will not recognize paper trays (meaning I have to manually tell it which paper tray holds the tabloid stock). I've tried using the "Page Setup" dialog box to no avail. On occasion, I can get some of the features to work with a pdf printing from Acrobat. Sometimes, that doesn't work either - never with any kind of predictability. Printing to the HP 4700 is more reliable. I've downloaded the updated "Leopard" compatible driver from HP, but it fixed no issues. When I tried contacting tech support for HP, the replied that this is an OS issues and not with equipment, leaving me SOL.

Copy, Paste and Text Formatting

If I copy text from another application, then paste it into a
Fireworks textbox, it replaces the Fireworks formatting with the
formatting from the previous application. I'm looking for something
along the lines of the "paste and match style" function found in
most Apple programs. Also, if I copy text *from* Fireworks, then
paste it into another application, it shows up as an image, not
text.
Any way around these problems? (At least they're problems for
me.)
I've been using FW since it was originally released, and I
don't recall these problems in previous versions. I don't have any
earlier versions installed, however, so I can't be sure.

Open the text in the text editor (Text > Editor) and copy
and paste it
from there. You can also paste text into the text editor to
remove
formatting from other software.

Copy-pasting and lifting audio between projects--no playback

Hello everyone,
Every time I copy paste or lift audio from one project to another (i.e. copy, save project 1, close, open project 2, paste), the audio works fine for that session but ceases to play back when I reopen the project later. The audio in the project media / clip selection area will work just fine, but when I double-click on the clip I pasted in the timeline, the clip preview window shows a red field and no audio. This basically means that I'm losing all the edits I made in project 1 and having to re-insert each piece of audio into the project 2 timeline and redo my edits. What's the problem? Is there any way I can copy-paste audio from one project timeline to another?
(Edit:) I'm using CS6.
Thanks very much,
Josh

It wont work that way because you are playing it out of the Clipboard. which is temporary.
Usemultiple Sequences in the same Project instead if you want to do that. to different edits

InDesign CS3 - placing PDFs and the Crop To option

Hey, y'all. Still an old-schooler using InDesign CS3 (meanwhile, the person in the adjacent cubicle gets CS4, and she's not primarily in production or art...how is this fair?) Anywho, here's my dilemma...
We receive PDF ads from our clients and we ask that they stick to a page size of 8.125 x 10.75 cropped, with an additional .25" of bleed on each edge (for a total of 8.625 x 11.25). Often, the client sends us an AI file or PDF with the artboard set to the crop area. No matter how I set the "Crop To" in the Place PDF window, it never extends past the Illustrator Artboard, so I can't get the bleed.
So, apart from opening up the PDF/AI in Illustrator and changing the artboard to our bleed dimensions (8.625x11.25), is there anything I can do? I was thinking that I could change the "Crop To" settings in InDesign? Or, is there a way I can change my bleed settings within Illustrator?

Thanks for the tip, Luke. If it's PDFs, I can usually overcome it, as the other Crop To options (bleed, media, artboard, crop) can sometimes get me the full artboard, although different clients send me different stuff, so that's handy to know.
AI files...well, until I can upgrade to CS4...
