Keynote not pasting in place

Hi,
I have new Mavericks Keynote. Suddenly, I cannot paste objects and have them align on other slides - paste in place. If I copy a large photo that hangs off the edge of the page, it will paste fully centered on another slide. What's up?

I agree that this is an issue that needs fixing.  Those of us who would like to preserve an image (or group of objects) across multiple sizes are in trouble with the new version of Keynote.  You apparently now have to paste the object and then key in their coordinates to match its location on the matching slide.
This is one of many issues I had on my first foray into the new Keynote. I don't mind the new interface, but I have to go back into the old version until they fix these kinds of bugs.

  • Paste in Place shortcut not working

    My Paste in Place shortcut (cmd+shift+v) is not working in Adobe Illustrator CC (Updated) for Mac OS X.
    It works when I manually press the command in the edit menu, but not when I use the keystrokes
    When the shortcut is initiated, the software behaves as if nothing was pressed
    It is showing as the proper shortcut when I view my shortcut preferences
    When I try to re-type the shortcut in the preferences, it acts as if nothing was pressed
    I've tried uninstalling SubScribe Plug-in
    I've tried uninstalling Illustrator and then downloading again
    I've tried resetting Illustrator preferences
    I'm using the Apple Wireless Keyboard
    I've tried using another keyboard and that didn't work either
    Please help me, this is affecting workflow

    jwbrobst,
    What about Cmd+V for Paste (centre of the view), Cmd+F (place in front in the same place), or Cmd+B (place in back in the same place)?
    Have you actually selected an object to paste?
    Did you reinstall using the full three step way?
    Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Paste-in Place not working

    Hello,
    I have been having  some problems with past in place for a while.
    Sometimes this function works perfectly others when I copy (shift+command+c) and try to paste ex an icon into another artboard it simply pastes it in the same artboard, even thought I have the correct artboard selected.
    Sometimes it simply pastes in some random artboard.
    Do you think you can help out with this, would much appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Ana

    shift+command+c? what do you have that set as? in my shortcuts that's Centre Text. copy is just command + c.
    I don't know if you're doing this or not without observing, but the artboard you have selected when you copy the object is relevant as well as the one selected when you paste.

  • Cut and paste in place ... not in place

    i cut and paste in place from a layer to an other and its not in the right place. it seems new since CS6
    i have multiple artworks on my file but i could do it since then. do you now how to not talke care of it ?

    Well that might be the way you wish it to work but it does not work that way and it was feature request that was overwhelming desired sothe behavior was made so that when you pasted in place it pasted in place relative to the active artboard.
    Thought there are global rulers there are still artboards and if someone wants more than one artboard this would be expected behavior.
    You have a choice of how you can do what you wish to do
    1. you can keep the artboard panel visible and simply select the artboard you want to be active that will not affect then selected object or layer and theen either paste in front or paste in back or paste in place
    2 select your object to be cut, then the object on the layer you wish to paste the object and then slect the original artboard by clciking on the edge of the artboard that will not change the layer you now have selected and choose one of the three paste options mentioned. this is actually a better choice because if you are working on that artboard you want it selected incase you need to bring it into focus.
    3. You can cange the focus to the artboard you want by selecting in from the artboard list at the bottom left of the document window.
    However though you are being a little cute about this it is I believe a feature request to be able to paste in place relative to the global rulers.
    And I do think this is an oversight which may have been deliberately done as it is possible that it might cause a problem at the moment to paste according to the global rulers and refcous back to that artboard, I can see where this might be a delicate coding issue and instead of a crash it would be better not tyo have it at all as I doubt many people would work this way.
    I think most people would work in a more organized way and want to keep track of what they are doing in a more conscious way and simply select the layer they want in the layers paneleven if it might be slower it would also be less prone to pasting on the wrong layer.
    We also just had some one post about selecting an object on the canvas and dragging the selection dot in the laayers panel to the layer they wandted it now to reside.
    They claim that is faster cut and paste, they actually said it did not work but it does.
    Here's the link to the feature request page.

    Don't be surprise if they change this behavior and there are many users who do not like it.

  • Paste in Place in Photoshop CS6 is not working, am I missing something?

    Hey there,
    I've been using the Creative Suite since CS4, but still count myself as a beginner.
    I'm building a psd file with vectors from an ai file. I recall that in CS5 and CS5.5 I had no issue copying a vector from Illustrator and then using "paste in place" to land it in the same relative spot on the Photoshop canvas. Today, my world has crumbled! Try as I might, I cannot get my vector shapes to "paste in place".
    I am using Windows 7, service pack 1, and CS6 64 bit edition. Both Illustrator and Photoshop were entirely up to date as of today, and I'm in the midst of doing a reinstall, just in case that helps anything. I have already tried dumping the preference file, to no avail.
    Having taken a look through the forums, it seems that Illustrator's clipboard has been handling data differently somehow, and I'm pondering whether this might be the culprit of my issue. However, copying and pasting in place within Illustrator seems to work fine, problems only arise when I copy from Illustrator into Photoshop.
    I feel that I am likely missing something easy to overlook, and I would greatly appreciate some help.

    I asked a friend about this issue, and he says that functionality was never there. Is that true? Perhaps it should be, it would be extremely useful. Even though I thought I recalled having done this in the past, I guess I must be mistaken.

    Illustrator has a different origin behavior. There is a global origin and a per artbord origin. you need to fix the problem in AI.

  • I recently had to reinstall my Creative Suite 4 Design Premium and since then, I am not able to place a MS Word program. I also cannot enter text in PhotoShoip.

    I recently had a hard drive crash. I replaced the C: drive with a solid state and now have 3 internal HDs. C: for the OS (Windows 7), D: for data and P: for program installation. Because I replaced the C: drive, I had to re-install all my programs. Now, PhotoShop will not let me place text, inserting the text tool causes the program to stop responding. In InDesign, if I try to place a MS Word document, it acts as if I never did that action and I can't get it placed.
    I can copy and paste, but doing so makes the formatting get left behind. I suspect it may not have installed correctly. I've used Adobe products since 1991 and never had this happen before. I even used Aldus PageMaker before the Suites were available. Can anyone help? Is it a reinstallation issue?
    I use PhotoTools from OnOne and if I uninstall it to reinstall CS4, I'm afraid it will no longer honor my product key.

    How much free space is on the C: drive?

  • Copy text frames and paste in place from source file to opened docs

    Hello All,
    I have one source indd file which is having 10 small text frames (40pt square) in both pages (Facing pages, Left and Right) on a master page. In that master page there is no frame except that 10 small text frames and the text frame contains the paragraph style called "Cat_Cont".
    I have opened some files and I want to copy that 10 small text frames from the source file and paste in place into the opened InDesign Docs master pages. I hope while copying that text frames, paragraph style also would copy. Could anyone help for this, please?
    If anything not clear plz let me know.
    Thanks in Advance,

    Use TextFrame.duplicate()

  • Is there a Paste in Place option for iBooks Author?

    Is there a paste in place option for iBooks Author like there is in Adobe InDesign? Thanks.

    InDesign's PIP means pasting at arbitrary coordinates.
    Not sure what that has to do with iBA, sorry, which isn't strictly canvas based.
    If you just want to clone items....that depends on the object. Best to experiment with your particular content, etc.

  • How do you "Paste In Place" in javascript?

    I'm seeing a problem when running copy merged and then paste from script.  If there is no alpha component in the mask, it looks like photoshop internally crops the layer to useful content.  Then when you paste, it pastes only the useful content meaning meanin it's translated so pixels at the top and left have content.  This is really stupid default behavior.  However, the UI has a way to work around this, you run Edit | Paste In Place and it keeps the translation component it figured out when running copy merged.  Great.
    Unfortunately since I'm working from script I don't see a way of running Paste In Place as it is not in the commands exposed on Document.  I tried looking at the javascript recording and there appears to be nothing output for that specific command.  Argh!  Does anyone know if photoshop has a way to script this?
    Otherwise, I'm gonna have to look at a completely different way of recording out this stuff.
    Thanks,
    Adrian

    Before copying the merged layer to the clipboard try getting the layers bounds to get size and location.
    var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; // tell ps to work with pixels
    var LB = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.bounds;
    app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll()
    app.activeDocument.selection.copy()
    var selectedRegion = Array(Array(LB[0].value,LB[1].value),Array(LB[2].value,LB[1].value),Array(LB[2].value,LB[ 3].value),Array(LB[0].value,LB[3].value));
    app.activeDocument.selection.select(selectedRegion);   //select area to paste into
    app.activeDocument.paste(true);                                          // [paste into] true
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;

  • Paste In Place to Specify Master Page

    Hi Jarek,
    I am a beginner for script, it’s so hard to write this script by my self,
    I found somewhere has this script which made by Laubender:
    var oldPasteRem = app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers; 
    //uncheck “Paste Remembers Layers” 
    app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers = false; 
    for (i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.layers.length; i++) { 
        //Maybe the user does not want objects pasted to invisible layers:  
        if(app.activeDocument.layers[i].visible == true && app.activeDocument.layers[i].locked == false) { 
            app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i]; 
            app.pasteInPlace(); 
    //Restore the old condition: 
    app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers = oldPasteRem;
    so can you help me to change it’s function for paste in place on master page?

  • Paste in Place across Layers Script

    I'm looking for a script to paste an object (paste in place) on top of all other layers in a file.
    I know I can position a single object on the top layer and then turn the bottom layers on and off, but for my needs (and in this situation) I need to actually paste that object onto each layer.
    Thanks so much for your insight/help!

    Why not simply duplicate the object to every layers?

  • Paste & Paste in Place problem

    Ahem; yes…
    Sometimes I should read more carefully.
    In the meantime I could have a look at Shlomit's InDesign document.
    I think, what he is seeing is not related to the OP's problem, but an issue in itself I can already observe in InDesign CS3.
    Something "bad" will happen to the positioning of objects copied from master spreads by "Paste In Place", if the overall width of all pages left from spine is not equal to the overall width of pages right from spine. The pasted (in place) objects will move by half of the value the overall page widths will differ.
    Either in positive x-direction, if the violation of symmetry (the wider side) is on the left side of the spine, or in negative x-direction, if the violation of symmetry is on the right side of the spine. It's not important, if the binding is LTR or RTL.
    Still I have to test a bit, to see if that hypothesis is sustainable…
    What is working alright:
    Overriding or detaching objects from the applied master pages.
    That will work without seeing a shift.

    If you mean the application, then definitely not possible.

  • Is it possible to only select visible layers to copy/paste in place.

    Hello!
    I must be missing something.  In Adobe Illustrator, when you select a layer (or sub-layer) to copy, is it possible to only copy the visible layers and not the hidden ones?
    When I supply my clients with their final illustrator files, I only want to include the approved art work.  Currently I make a copy of the file and go through and delete the hidden files, it would be much easier to just copy and paste in place the visible layers into a new Adobe illustrator file . 
    Thanks!

    Here's an example of why, I may have 3 heads on a character.  Since the character is copy and pasted into different boards, and scenes I build them once (think modular illustration).  I need to be able to copy and paste, the talking head and not the Neutral or thoughtful heads.  That is the overall goal of the post.
