Is there a way to copy and paste a glossary, for use in a text that would be separately published by unit?

I just submitted my first textbook, and it only covers the first quarter of my course. I'm planning on submitting the others as I finish them. One problem that I think I will encounter, is that if I create each quarter as a separate iBooks publication, I won't have the continuity of the glossary throughout each publication. Another option is to simply add to the first quarter publication, using the same iBooks Author file, and publish the text as the 1st and 2nd quarters, then the 1st through 3rd quarters, then the 1st through 4th quarters, removing the earlier versions as I publish a newer version. (Why not just finish it, and publish it once? Because I'm currently teaching the course, and I want to make the material available as soon as possible--also, it's a course on computer programming, which is a subject that rapidly changes.) I've seen other iBook publications by the unit, and that has inspired me to consider publishing my text in four smaller installments, one for each quarter of a year-long, 2 semester course. But that brings me back to the problem of having one continuous glossary that would function in all four publications.
Any and all ideas are welcome! Thanks!

You're right, but I'm a little under the gun with my employer to get something out there, asap, and I unfortunately have a full time job that doesn't allow me to commit a block of time to finish the text in one shot.

Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

It's not something I have tried before. Have you tried it, and what's happened?
Basically, copy/pasting tables is a bit of a problem - anywhere. Table formats are different in different circumstances - Excel, HTML, PDF, ...
If you copy a HTML table and paste it into an Excel sheet, the entire table will go into one single cell.
So most likely what you are trying to achieve will not work.

Is there a way to copy and paste info from an attachment on the ipad into a document or note?

I sent myself an email with an attachment to my iPad. I want to copy and paste the info from the attachment so I can have it accessible on the iPad either as a Note or a document. I've been able to copy the info but the Paste does not do anything. Anyone know a better way?

When you tap and hold down on the text selection that you want to copy - are you seeing the Copy Option pop up? if so, tap on the Copy button and it should turn blue when the text has been successfully copied. Then just go into Notes - tap on the + sign to create a new note - tap and hold down on the note page until the Paste option pops up. Then tap Paste and it should paste the text onto the sheet. It works the same way anywhere that you can enter text, a Pages document, a URL field in Safari - any place that you can enter text.
When the copy or paste buttons turn blue - the command has been completed successfully.

Is there a way to copy and paste the same changes in keyframes along the timeline?

Hi,
I was doing an effect (changing the parameters in keyframe editor) and I wanted to do the same effect in specific moments on the timeline. Is it possible to copy and paste the same effect on the keyframe editor?
Thanks

Following on from GFXZen, as well as repeating a series of keyframes as a regular pattern, if you need to move some of the repeats a little (to match moments in a soundtrack), use the Generate Keyframes command. That turns the extrapolated curves into editable and moveable keyframes.
There's more on information on keyframe extrapolation and generating keyframes at the bottom of this page from the Motion help system.
Check out the help information on the Transform Keyframes tool - you can use this to transform the keyframes of many parameters at the same time. Similar to using the option key when dragging keyframes in Adobe After Effects.

The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?

I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
This is the problem:
The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?
Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
(In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to.

Cut/copy and paste on the iPad I get extra text

When I cut/copy and paste on the iPad I get extra text symbols like "%". Is there a way to just copy the text without the extra stuff? If I copy from Safari and paste into an email I have to go and erase all the extra text.

the % is usually caused by spaces. It's an HTML 'glitch' in that, in the brain and logic of HTML, there should never be a space, so when it sees them it inserts % to fill that void that it's logic says isn't there.
I'm not sure if there is a work around beyond maybe pasting it first into a text document, then from there into your e-mail and see if that makes the symbols go away.

Any way I can perform the most basic copy and paste in Adobe Story?

It seems like to be an issue with the latest Adobe AIR version ( 14.0 )
To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
- first, uninstall 'Adobe AIR'. (Application > Utilities > Adobe AIR Uninstaller)
- Download the previous version of Adobe AIR from this link
Archived Adobe AIR SDK versions
(look for 'Adobe AIR 13 runtime downloads' section and downlaod the Mac version)
- install this version and then launch Story again to verify

How can I copy and paste a caption for several pictures that are all the same?

I'm trying to understand the process of importing, labeling and organizing pictures I'm importing from my iPhone into iPhoto 11.
So far I am importing only pictures that relate to one another; ie taken at the same event. I have 18 pictures from one hike. I'd like to label each of those pictures the same; ie "hike at Bear Creak 2/15." Can I copy and paste the same label to all 18 pictures? How would I copy and paste?
There are lots of You Tube videos on the subject of iPhoto and that's how I learn best. If you know of a really basic one to watch I'd appreciate it.
I think I have to take a class at the Apple Store on this basic organizing because it's really escaped me in the 9 months I've had this Mac (switched from PC.)
Thanks,
Ginny

Ginny,
select all 18 photos at once in iPhoto on your Mac and then use the menu entry "Photos > Batch Change"
That will change the titles or descriptions of all photos at once.

Copy and paste Java script for password protecting a page?

I need to password protect one page which I want to call my LOGIN page on a site I'm making in Dreamweaver CS5.5. Unfortunately I know that the hosting company I'm using does not have the ability to allow me password a single directory on the server end to accomplish this (I know STRANGE) .... SO
I found some code online - java script that I can just copy and paste into the <head> section of my page. This might be a silly question but is this a 'safe' way to do this? (I don't need anything fancy and the people whom will be accessing this page will all have the SAME password, so I don't need a registration form or anything fancier...)
Any thoughts?

Ugg I totally knew you would all say that (because I already knew that would offer me the easiest solution), change hosts and now I'm embarrassed to say that YES I am paying for the hosting; BUT, I have to explain that I'm with this hosting company because way back when I started that site I needed something super user friendly because I was just learning. Now I have learned more and have started to use Dreamweaver. I just stayed with the same hosting and will use FTP to upload my new more updated site. In the company's defense even though they do offer a way to FTP a site up, their main objective (I think) is to have a really easy way for people to get a site up without knowing anything about code or css or anything; and they operate under the assumption that MOST of their customers will be using their super easy software and not use FTP. That is why I think they are limited to what they offer, at least that is my take on it. My more recent sites do not use this company as I have tried to learn and 'move up'.
Anyway I guess if I don't want to switch hosting I still have the same problem. Is it really that difficult to make something that has just one use ID and password which would be the same thing for every person? Might be a great learning experience for me?
Yep it might be time for me to switch hosting.... sigh. What to do.....

When composing an e-mail in Hotmail, if I copy and paste a URL, it is not clickable like it would be in IE

When copying and pasting a link, it is not clickable (see below)
http://www.google.com/

Just above the text area that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic. 
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button). 
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink. 
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

Copy and Paste: Only works for some phrases

Since the update to IOS8, I've been experiencing problems with the copy and paste function with certain pieces of text. Some will appear to copy fine but often won't paste and I will instead get an older item from my 'clip board' rather than the one I just recently copied.
This doesn't apply to in-app buttons, like YouTube's copy link feature under the share icon; these links copy and paste fine.
I'm using the Swift Keyboard and I believe this contributes to the problem in some way. Any thoughts?
This is becoming increasingly frustrating and inconvenient. Please help!

Copy and Paste images to Word using Adobe Flex3

I am trying to copy the images from Adobe Flex 3 application
and paste it in the Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. I couldn't find
any examples online. I am not sure whether I could do this using
Adobe Flex3. I know this is possible with Adobe AIR.
Could you please provide me an example for how to do this
using Adobe Flex3?
Thanks,
maluri

Good question. Make a local copy first, i.e. drag to your Desktop, then drag to Word.
If that does not work, open the image>command-A>copy and paste into word.
