Indesign CS4 freezes when copying text to Word 2007

I have a user that copies text from Indesign CS4 to Word 2007 documents. She has Word 2007 open, then opens an InDesign file and copies the text. She then clicks on the Word document and pastes the copied text.
She is unable to go back to the Indesign file. Clicking on InDesign on the toolbar does not activate the InDesign window. The only open she has is to right-click and close InDesign.
She has been doing this without any problems until approximately three weeks ago.
Is this a known problem? What is causing the conflict?

The OS is XP SP3. We are using Adobe Type Manager with Adobe fonts. The only other application running was Outlook 2007.
The user is out today but I will check if Alt Tab will cycle back.

Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy CS4 or when I update an InCopy File

Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy or when I update an InCopy CS4 File. I have done some of the troubleshooting steps already and have already re-installed and re-updated through Adobe Updater. But the problem still exists. Anyone have any patches or fixes? Or have had the same issue and fixed it?
I'm working on a Power Mac G5 with OSX version 10.4.11

I am having the same issue with Flash CS4. Did you find a solution?

InDesign CS4 freezes when minimized

As soon as I minimize InDesign CS4 I cannot restore it. If I try to restore it the only thing that happens is I can see a palette (eg charactor formatting) or sometimes a control panel. I then can only shut InDesign down using Windows task manager.
I have no issues with Illustrator or Photopshop CS4 and the problem occurs even if I have no document open in InDesign. I also tried with no applications running and it still happens. I have reinstalled InDesign but that has not helped either. I am not using the Windows "Aero" apprearence (which sometimes causes strange problems). Any suggestions?
I am running Indesign 6.03 on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with Intel Core Duo 2GB of RAM @2GHZ Vista Ultimate

Seeing the same here with version 6.0.4 on Windows 7 Professional 64bt, running NVidia GT8600 graphics card(latest drivers).
Same fix above cures it, but still annoying that it happens at all.

Photoshop CS4 freezes when adding text to box.

Typing text into a rectangle box freezes Photoshop with the unclose-able error box "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
Force quit and clean-start with command-option-shift Start Photoshop and still same error. I can type text into the box for about 10-20 characters and then error box again.
Using PS CS4 v11.0 with OS 10.5.6 with G5 Dual 2 Ghz PowerPC accessing files on external firewire drive.
Any suggestions?

Right you are.
Corrupted font cache(s).
Cleaned out and dumped all caches with Cocktail and restarted clean. A-OK now.
Thank you.

Freeze when copy paste text from word to Indesign CC

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.

Copy text from Word '03 into RH9

I need to copy text from Word into RH in a way that does not bring in the Word codes. I can obviously copy the text into notepad and then into RH, but I am wondering if there is a way to do it that would be similar to the "Paste Special / Unformatted Text" command in Word?
We cannot have the word codes in RH because we translate our user manuals and then use the translated UM text to gain discounts when we translated the html help files. These codes throw off the matching and cause us to gain hardly any discounts. Even simple formatting, like a bolded word puts in the word codes into the html code. I made the mistake of thinking if I unbold the word in RH then everything is fine, but little did I know the Word code was still in the HTML.
I appreciate your help.
Also, I am open to suggestions on a better way to get my Word text into RH to be help. I've started looking into Importing and Linking, but haven't figured out if they would be all that beneficial to us.

Clean install on new 1TB hdd, Yosemite keeps freezing when copying data from an ext drive and also from a usb

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out why my macbook keeps freezing when I try to drag my data across to it (even small files from a USB).
I've had to force restart over a dozen times today :/
I ran EtreCheck and there are a couple of issues (I've no idea what they mean).

Thanks - I had a 1TB hdd in my macbook for about 12 months but it started playing up a few days ago (I got the question mark folder on bootup) so I bought another 1TB hdd (same model) and started from scratch.
My macbook is an early 2010... now I'm wondering if Yosemite is a bit too much for it?
The ext hdd is my timemachine backup, so yes I have used it often and it has my TM backups - and the usb is a new usb which Ive used a few times.
The issue seems to be when Im transferring files from an ext drive to my mac. I can use it fine and browse (worked find for 45 mins) then I tried to bring my data across.. and it copied a few gig over before total freeze.
This has happened about a dozen times.
I keep running disk utility and checking the disk. I also just ran the apple diagnostics tool that came in the apps cd - the hardware apears to be fine.
I have a 250 gb partition for the OS and the rest is my second partition for data.
I'm now wondering if I should reformat the first partition, install leopard from the CD, then upgrade to mavericks and leave it at that.
Any thoughts would be awesome. Thank you for reading and replying!

Do you have any capture cards in the computer? For example, Blackmagic, Aja, Matrox, CineForm, etc.
If so, it's software might be causing the problem. Go to "Programs And Features" in the Vista Control Panel to remove the software for the capture card. Restart the computer and then try again.
Did you install any plug-ins for Premiere?
If so, remove them and see if the problem goes away.
Also, where are you saving your projects? Try saving one to your Desktop and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, then it could be a problem with your save location.

InDesign CC freezes when packaging files.

InDesign CC freezes when packaging files. Just spinning beachball. Need to Force Quit. Tried resetting Prefs at startup (holding down keys), but no change. Looking for path to Default and Data files, but not finding them in Library. (D'oh!) Downloaded most recent CC versionlast night. Any ideas or should I try CC (2014)

Hi Pam,
I would certainly give CC2014 a try.
Other than that, make sure there’s no illegal characters like slashes in the file or folder names and that the path is not too long.

No header in output when template saved with Word 2007

Hi,
I came across a problem when saving template in Word 2007.
We have template created in Word 2003 that has a header with table with image and some text in it.
And it was working fine.
Now we had to make some modifications in this template (in the body, not in the header) and in the meantime we switched from Word 2003 to Word 2007.
When we save and uploaded the template on the server it was working fine but there was no header in the output.
I took it back to Word 2003 and made some changes to it, saved and uploaded and header was here.
Looking at the xsl-fo of the templates (from Word 2003 and Word 2007) I noticed that xsl-fo from Word 2003 in the table definition has keep-together.within-page="always" attribute which is missing in Word 2007 xsl-fo.
Word 2003 xsl-fo header table definition:
<fo:table start-indent="0.0pt" xdofo:table-summary="Template Table 1" xdofo:row-header-count="0" keep-together.within-page="always">
Word 2007 xsl-fo header table definition:
<fo:table start-indent="12.5pt" xdofo:table-summary="Template Table 1" xdofo:row-header-count="0">
Anyone had same problem?
Thanks,
Tomislav

Hi Vetsrini,
Do you have a link to a workaround for this? I having a problem with a table splitting across pages.
I'm working with tempalte creation oin word 2007 and can't keep the rows/lines together in a table.
Regards,
Hakan

Problems Copying Text from Word 2008 to InDesign CS3

When I copy/paste text from Word into InDesign, the text pastes as an image. If I draw a text box in InDeign and paste the text in there, the same thing happens and the box is locked in position. I'm pretty sure there is a setting in Word I have to change, but I've tried everything! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Why don't you try File > Place and place the .doc file? (Probably not too many Word experts in an Adobe forum.)

InDesign CS4 freezed up and closes when editing existing files

I worked all day yesterday on a new file, layout etc. I went into the file last night to edit it and every time I would try to edit, either copy, move , fitting, it frose and closed.
I have noticed that when I right click my mouse to get the drop down menu to make an edit this is when it freezes.
Please help.. have several projects with deadlines
1

I experienced the similar problem this morning. Only, my InDesign CS4 closes.
I can start InDesign OK, but after I select a file to open it closes after just about two seconds. The same situation is with older files.
There is just one small file that loads fine. (My problem file is 185Mb)
After a few hours of playing with InDesign I moved away from it and removed the updated fonts I installed yesterday evening and everything works fine! It must be something to do with Windows 7 on this machine, because my laptop which runs Vista and CS2 had no problems with updated font.
Now I have to find out what is wrong with my font...

InDesign freezes when resizing text frames

I've placed a Word document with lots of tables and other graphics, and when I try to resize a text frame, InDesign frequently freezes. I have to shut it down in Task Manager and restart, often losing a lot of work. This happened once before with a similar project from the same client. I thought maybe it was some odd corruption in that file, so I muscled through it, but here it is happening again. Anybody have this issue before and know how to resolve or prevent it?
I'm working with CS6 in Windows 8.
Thanks.
~Valerie

First of all, ID CS6 has a auto-recovery feature, so when closing it in the task manager you should not loose a lot of work, but the one since the last auto-save.
However, software is not prefect, so the one way to prevent it would be to place a PDF version of your Word file, making it uneditable.
