Lifting a photo off of a word doc, placing in iPhoto.

With my PC, I would make albums using Word. I would scan a photo to the Word doc and place it among text. Now, with my new Apple, I wish to take some of those photos and get them into iPhoto.
I have transferred the Word doc from the PC to my mac. I have tried to "copy" the photo, but that doesn't seem to work, as the "paste" function doesn't know what to do.
I am in iPhoto 09 on a Mac OS X 10.6.4.
How can I get a photo off a Word doc in my Mac, and put it in iPhoto?

Or select the photo in word and print - select the PDF option and use the send PDF to iPhoto option - this will work universally for programs that use the Apple supplied print APIs

  • I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

    I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto.  Thanks

    To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

  • Working off of a word doc to IBA

    Ok I'm trying to create an IBA from a word doc. The word doc is already layed out on pages and I'm now going page for page copying any text and images into Pages in IBooks Author. I forst notice when doing this manually that the font in the word doc is garamond, I have this font on my mac Pro and it shows up in IBA but as I preview each page I do off my IPad the font is not recognized. I had this similar problem with Keynote as some fonts do not display in IPad so first I need to know
    Should I change the font to a font that is can be displayed in IPad so I do not have anything look wierd or just leave?
    Last thing, I did read that I could iport entire word docs to IBA but after attempting this a few times using different templates the results are way off. Is there a way I can do the full import of the entire word doc off a blanl template in IBA and even if I could would that give me a better result?
    Meanwhile Till I hear from someone I will continure to copy and paste each page from the word doc manually for now.
    anyone?

    You are obligated to use only the fonts that are supported by iOS/iBooks/iPad.
    The iOS supported list to choose from is the pull-down menu in the toolbar, not the main menu.
    I think it's up to you to experiment with various templates and your content - you might find it easier to change the WORD document layout and style first, once you find a template that meets your needs.

  • Formatting is off when opening Word docs in Pages and vice versa

    I recently decided to switch from Windows to Mac and bought a MacBook. I used to use Word on my Windows computer and now when I open .doc or .docx files in Pages, the formatting is off, i.e. bullets, tabs, spacing, etc. This formatting problem also happens when other people use Word to open my files that I created in Pages and saved as a .doc. Is there some fix for this so that I don't have to reformat each document that was created in Word but that I now open in Pages?

    For maximum compatibility I think you need to use Word for Mac or OpenOffice.

  • Changing photo format from "microsoft word doc" to jpeg or other supported photoshop format

    hi --
    on my windows XP (home edition) i have many photos stored under "my documents." one is categorized as a "microsoft word document," despite the fact that it is a photo (this may be b/c i was very unskilled at the computer when i scanned this photo in and thus selected the wrong format? i'm still not "skilled" but i'm doing better!).
    when i tried to import this photo into my photoshop album (starter edition 3.0), i got a message that says "format not supported" or something similar. how do i change the format of the photo so that it will be accepted into my photoshop album? i haven't had any trouble with photos in other formats (jpeg, etc.).
    thanks very much for any assistance -- susie margaret

    On my other computer I have a different photo software. Once I download the pictures from the card reader and left click on the photo I want, it simply gives me a choice to save it in the computer, under MY PICTURE or desktop etc. in jpg.
    When I left click on the picture on the adobe photoshop 2.0 starter edition, it gives many choices such as : copy,turn, edit, but not saving.
    How do I save it on the computer to add it to a real estate home sells website for pictures on the home advertisement or virtual tour. Also when the pictures were read off of the card reader it popped out all of the pictures 120 of them. I only need 3 of them saved. Please tell me step by step . Thank you.

  • I apply to jobs online and need to provide my resume, which is in Word on Dropbox, but when I hit "Browse" to find Dropbox or any other repository all I can pull are photos. How can I get to my Word doc?

    I need to attach a Word doc when online forms require it.  When I Browse for a file, all the iPad and the iPhone allows are photos or videos. I have these docs in Dropbox and Skybox but I cannot get to them from Browse. How can I do this?

    Take a look at the iCab Mobile browser for the iPad. It allows document uploads if you configure it properly in the settings. iCab Mobile also works with DropBox.
    You may have to download the documents to the iPad and upload from there, but it might be worth a look here.

    How can I upload any file (not only photos) under iOS 6?
    Unlike the web engine of iOS 5.x and older, the web engine of iOS 6 has now basic upload support as well. But it only supports uploading photos and videos from the photo album. And this will only work under iOS 6.
    The upload capability of iCab Mobile works under all iOS releases and supports uploading photos videos and all other file types. It can even scale down photos before uploading to save bandwidth.
    But iCab's own custom upload capability has the disadvantage, that because of several iOS restrictions, it can not work on all web pages. Therefore under iOS 6, iCab Mobile provides a switch in the settings where the user can choose, if iCab should use the upload capability from the iOS (only photos, works with some more web pages) or the capabilities of iCab (photos and all other files, can't work on all web pages).
    So if you need to upload other files than just photos, make sure that you set the option "Upload files via" in the settings to "iCab Mobile".

  • Can't create pdf. from word doc when edited photos are included

    Or for that matter, from any photo which has been imported from my camera through lightroon, which happens everytime I  download shots to my harddrive. I create .pdf tutorials which include process shots and text; whnever I include shots which have come through lightroom, I get an error message telling me that the flies in question are in use with another application. There must be a workaround for this, right? Why can't an edited photo be included into a word doc and then converted to a pdf?

    You must have a program open with the image file or you would not get this message.
    I just did a test run. It works perfectly with my images. I tried it with a JPG and I tried it with a TIFF.
    Word imported them into the document and exported the document to PDF.
    The TIFFs  were created in Lr by exporting, and they are in the Lr catalog. So Lr is not the culprit for you rproblem.
    What I sometimes forget when I edit / change a Word document is that a PDF already created has to be closed. When I don't like my PDF and just go back to Word, do some changes and export again to the same PDF, i.e. overwriting the existing PDF, then the PDF cannot be created. The PDF that needs changing must be closed before another export can happen.

  • Insert photo to  word doc

    how do you do this? I open a word doc , click insert photo and My photo library icon remains greyed out, i have looked up alll the help solutions and nothing works. Any ideas???
    Message was edited by: PJ8

    THis is the MOST ask question - probably appears on average once per page
    The short answer is that the iPhoto library is now a package to protect it from damage. You can access photos in a number of ways - including exporting them to a desktop folder, using them and then deleting that folder.

  • Generating JavaHelp layout off Imported Word doc.

    Hi,
    I am importing two Word docs (.docx) and generating JavaHelp layout using RoboHelp 9.  It is generating only one .htm file i.e. just one topic for each Word doc.  Is this good for context sensitive help (i.e. Help menu on different GUI will open the relevant section) ?  In older RoboHelp, I saw many topics (i.e. .htm files) were created based on the Header levels (e.g. Header 1,2,3) I selected in Import wizard.  RoboHelp 9 did not let me set the Header levels for splitting the Word doc, so I am wondering what I have missed.
    Thanks for any hint.
    - Arefin

    You select pagination for every style you want. So if you want new topics for Headings 1, 2 and 3, you tick Pagination for each of those styles.
    See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

  • Sunday evening and 'grabbing' photos off a .pdf document

    How does one do that?  I get a little gunsight cursor icon when I left click to copy a photo in a .pdf file.  I have the latest version (9.4.1) of freeware, and am using Windows 7, all upgrades, on a new dual core with plenty of memory...........go figure?
    There must be a way to copy and paste a photo out of a .pdf file or document, isn't there?   :-)   Printing just the photo would be nice too.......maybe after I get the individual photo off the article.

    It is not necessary to post your email address in these forums unless you want to risk getting spam.
    In any case to answer your question I can't troubleshoot since I don't have Acrobat Reader.  I have Acrobat Professional which has many many more features including PDF creation options.  I think if it IS possible in Reader then it would be in the File menu to Export (or Save As...?) Image>JPG/TIFF/GIF/etc.  You can also export PDFs to Microsoft Word DOC format in Acrobat Pro.  I'm not sure you have that option in Reader but it is worth looking at the HELP documentation of the software to check your Save As and Export options, if there are any.

  • Hp officejet pro 8610 prints solid black on scanned pdf and word doc pictures

    -HP Officejet Pro 8610
    -problem printing scanned pdf document and word doc. photos
    -My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 printed a newly scanned pdf document as an all black picture. I then printed a saved word documtent from my iMac which included a small picture. The document print was acceptable, but the picture was solid black. There were no error messages. These were, my initial tests, to check this new printer.

    Hey there @TM-10 
    Welcome to the Community
    I read through your post about your new Officejet 8610 scanning a document to your computer and printing out all black. I have a couple ideas for you to try.
    Try the steps in this guide: Unexpected Scan Output Using HP Scan Application for HP Multifunction Printers When Using OS X v10.9...
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help.
    Good luck

  • Convert pdf to word doc-but don't have the export option.

    I want to convert a pdf (that I got from an email) into a Word doc so I can edit it the way I want to. However, for some reason now I don't have the 'Export' option in my File drop down list.
    Funny thing is, I've converted the document once already and have entirely forgotten how I did it obviously!
    I've made so many changes in my first conversion I want to start over.
    why don't I have the 'Export' option? Or ... when I do a 'save as' and chose 'word doc' it only does a copy - paste type save - where I can't make any changes. It's like it puts it into a text box or something.
    I have MSWord 2010.

    When I do the steps below, the Word doc that is saved is like a photo. I am unable to work with the document. Why does it do that? I have converted pdf’s before without that happening but I think I did it on a free 30-day trial of X Pro.
    This usually happens when you're dealing with a very poor quality scanned document that doesn't have enough data for the Acrobat OCR engine to actually process.
    As for Acrobat 6.0 Pro, I don't believe the Save as Word function was introduced until version 8.0, but it's been a few years and the memory of Acrobat 6 has faded a bit.
