Mac Word 2008 Cut-And-Paste broken with DW CS3

The title pretty much says it all - something is failing in
the process of cutting text from a MS Word 2008 (Mac) document into
Dreamweaver CS3. Nothing gets transferred.
I can cut text from Word and paste into other text editors
(BBEdit, TextMate, TextEdit) without any problem... and can then
cut and paste that into DW... but, of course, all formatting
information is stripped - which isn't always a bad thing: this is
Word, after all...
Cut-and-paste from Word 2004 worked OK. It's a strange thing
to have break... and it's odd to me that Word got out of beta with
this, given the fact that Dreamweaver is as popular as it
is.

Well, I can't give any dates, but it's not any time in the
next few
months.
If I figure out an easy workaround, I'll let you know
directly.

Thanks. Do you have any idea how soon this might be? It's a
pretty
significant inconvenience at this point.

The following information was submitted on the Software
Feature
Request and Bug Report Form for Dreamweaver
Since upgrading to Office 2008, I can
no longer copy and paste text from Microsoft Word to
Dreamweaver.
When I click Edit -> Paste, or Cmd-V, nothing happens. If
I do a
Paste Special routine and choose unformatted text, then it
*usually*
works.
Dreamweaver did not have this issue with Word 2004.

Cut and Paste problem with links in DW

Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening.....
when I cut and paste a complex link -- DW seems to add some characters.... see below....
Original Link
http://spie.org/app/program/index.cfm?fuseaction=exhibitordetail&exhibitorid=20189&meeting _id=169
Dreamweaver's modified link.... it's adding amp after the & sign....
http://spie.org/app/program/index.cfm?fuseaction=exhibitordetail&exhibitorid=20189&meeting _id=169
Simple links stay the same... but this got me in a little hot water with a client when I sent out an email from constant contact....
Thanks

oh... couple things.... I'm working on:
OS 10.6.2 (MAC)
CS4

"it's adding amp after the & sign"
It's not actually adding "amp".
DW is assisting you by encoding the "&" (which validators assume to be a broken HTML entity since they start with "&") and replacing it with the correct form of "&" so that browsers can understand the URL.

Cut and Paste Bug with SUM( )

If SUM( ) refers to multiple ranges, and one of those ranges is Cut and then Pasted to another location, the SUM( ) function is not changed to reflect the new location of those Cut and Pasted cells. Instead, SUM( ) continues to refer to the original locations.
I tried this in Excel and it works well.

iPad Numbers Version: 1.5 (423)

Followed your steps exactly and it's exactly like I said in my previous post. Cut and paste works for effects. Here's exactly what I did except for the part where I created the worst illustrator art that I've ever seen. Just two layers, lovely colors. The .ai file is imported as a comp with retain layer sizes selected. A black brush is chosen set to write on and silhouette luma. The size is adjusted to cover the line easily, I paint on the line, press the e key to reveal the effect in the timeline. It's there, it's also in the ECW so I select the effect, cut it, go to the composition, use Cmnd+Y to create a new layer and paste Cmnd + V and the paint effect is applied to the solid.
There's something going on with your machine, some third party plug-in, some other app, some other issue that's preventing this from working.
Here's my little movie of the whole experiment.
I'd make sure that your AE version is the latest, that you have your memory and processing set to the defaults, and that you're not running any other apps while testing AE. If there's still a problem, file a bug. Your machine is not behaving as my machine and every other Mac I routinely work on is behaving.

How to cut and paste subtitles (with formatting)?

In iMovie '09, once I've formatted a subtitle to look the way I want, how can I repeatedly cut and paste that subtitle so that I don't need to redo the formatting for every subsequent subtitle?
I realize this is probably trivial once you see it ... but it's not obvious to me. Couldn't find it in Help or in Apple's FindOutHow movie.

I unchecked "Check spelling as you type" but Firefox still underlines words in cut-and-pasted text in some web apps. How can I stop it from doing this?

I'm using an online web mapping application that has input boxes for descriptive text and stuff like that. Sometimes I copy blocks of text from a word processing app into these input boxes because I can format the text in the wp. When I paste the text blocks, Firefox does the wiggly red underline on words it doesn't know. I've already turned off "check spelling as you type" but this doesn't make a difference. I don't want Firefox to check spelling on these text blocks that I copy and paste. Sometimes I need to capture screen images of these text blocks in the mapping application and I want them to look clean. Thanks.

Does "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick when this happens?
You can consider to disable the spell check underline by setting the ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle pref to 0 (zero) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

Cut and Paste broken in Safari 5.1

Using the keyboard shortcuts Cmd-K and Cmd-Y no longer works correctly in Safari 5.1.
This behaviour (still) works correctly in text edit.
In Safari, the "paste buffer" is apparently never cleared, resulting is ALL of the recent cut operations being pasted, not just the most recent one.

Those have never been built-in keyboard commands as far as I know. If you have them, you're running a third-party system modification.

Cut and pasting object with pen tool

I have a photo in which I outlined something with the pen tool and have selected it, but when I paste it to a new background, it is still surrounded by a white square, how can I paste just the shape? Sorry kind of new :/

Could you post a screenshot of the Layers Panel of the receiving document after pasting (with the camera-icon)?
Because I’m not sure about your »new background«.
By the way Command-clicking would save you one menu-selection.

Cut and paste with Fascinate

Anybody know how to cut and paste text with Fascinate?

I haven't been able to get it to work everytime, but like in text's, just touch and hold at the beginning or end of where you would like to copy. Then, after a moment, a box will open up with options to select text, select all text, and a couple of others. If you only want to select a portion of it, just select, select text, and and then with only one finger at a time, move the highlight field to cover what you want to select. When you're done highliting, press and hold again, and select copy. Then go to where ever you would like to paste it, and press and hold the screen again, and select paste, and it will insert the text that you copied. It doesn't work the best, and like I said too, not in all areas of the phone.

I can't cut and paste any images into apple mail

I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet.
I am using a gmail pop account and firefox as my primary browser. It took me a few times to figure this out as the image appears to be attached in my mail, but is removed when I send, such that if I have text and an image in an email the recipient receives only the text. Before I hit send I can see both the text and the image.
I have tried starting again in safe mode and repairing permissions. That has not helped. I can login to my gmail regularly and cut and paste images with no problem.
This is exceptionally frustrating.

Hello. In 2012 you answered a query about the following problem:
"I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet."
This problem started with me this morning and it does not happen when I open a test account. The thread stops after you asked if it occurs in the test account, did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am using mac mail 3.6 on system 10.5.8.
I hope you receive this, I have never posted in one of these forums.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Cut and Paste: Frame and Content Size Auto Changes

I'm working in InDesign CS2 and am having this reoccurring problem.
When I cut and paste frames with placed images (or pull images from a library) the frame and image will both expand to between 300%-3,000%. As you can imagine, it's very frustrating to have to create new frames and place new images every time. Any suggestions on how to fix or work around?

I'm still having problems with this, even using Paste and Match Style.
My table has three rows with gray background, then three rows of white; this pattern repeats for many rows. In the center row of each three rows is some text, while all other rows are blank. I want to move all this text down three rows, so that the text that was in the center row of the gray rows now is in the center row of the white rows, but I want the row colors to remain unchanged. Here's what I've tried.
If I "Cut" the selected cells, then the background colors are cut, so this is no good. Instead, I Copy the cells, then hit the Delete key. This leaves the background alone. Now I select a cell three rows down from the top. If I Paste, then the old backgrounds are pasted in, which is not the behavior I want. If I Paste and Match Style, then all the backgrounds are overwritten with white, except those single rows that originally contained both text, and had a gray background. The original cells that were gray but had no text are pasted in as white.
This latter behavior makes no sense to me. There seems to be a difference in how Paste and Match Style works, depending on whether the copied cells had text, or were blank.
Is there another way to do this rather common task—moving text around a table that has alternating-colored rows, without messing up those colors?

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive?Pls.help.

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.

Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing!

Can no longer drag or cut and paste links or words from one place to another with new Firefox update

After updating Firefox 19.0.2 to my iMac Desktop 10.8.2, Lion, I can no longer drag or cut and paste anything to anywhere, anymore. Please help. Thanks!

Does this also happen if you try to copy/cut and paste text in a text area like "Post a Reply" on this forum?
Try to reinstall Firefox.<br />
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 19.0.2: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't continue in Hebrew. I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste. Does anyone know how to fix this? I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1. I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

Just clarifying:
Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

I cannot cut and paste .rtf from a MS Word document to a web page.

I am running a MAC desktop with version 10.5. I use MS Office for MAC. When I try and cut and paste from a .rtf file to an amateur writing site, I always get a timeout. Help please!

Hi Sara. Tanks for responding. If I cannot figure this out (I was up
until 2am last night), I want to cancel my subscription.
Here are two files you can check on/help me with. When I try again, it
comes up 'an error has occurred when trying to access the service.'
Please advise.

Cut and paste from Word into Mail

I have an earlier post where I thought I had solved this problem, but now it's back with a twist:
I can cut and paste from Word, but after a few cut and pastes, it seems as if I can only paste the last successful section of text: copying new text from word seems to work, but when pasting into Mail, only the previous section of cut and pasted text appears.
I have checked the preferences within Mail, and they are set for plain text... so there should be no problem, yes?
I also tried quitting and then restarting Mail, but had the same problem...
Any advice?

Thanks, aqua*star -
I just checked the "archiving" and "back-up" suggestions in the Mail "Help" window and got the following info:
Mail preferences and messages
Your Mail accounts, rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes preference settings can easily be backed up. Tip: All Mail-related preference files should be backed up or restored as a group.
To back up:
Note: These steps back up Mail preferences, but do not back up Mail messages (emails), although you can do that with the .Mac Backup utility. See below if you want to manually back up Mail messages (mailboxes).
Create a uniquely-named folder on your desktop (or other favorite location). For example, you might call it "Mail Prefs Backups May152005" (adding a date is a good idea).
Quit Mail if it's running.
In the Finder choose Home from the Go menu.
Open the Library folder.
Open the Preferences folder.
Copy the "com.apple.mail.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file. Don't remove the original file from its current location (this file contains your Mail accounts information).
Close the Preferences folder.
Open the Mail folder.
Copy the "MessageRules.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (this file contains your Mail rules).
Copy the "SmartMailboxes.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (you guessed it, this file contains Smart Mailboxes information).
Finally, copy the Signatures folder to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the folder. (Your custom signatures, if you use them, are stored here.)
To restore: Just move all of the copies of the files and folders from your uniquely-named folder to the original locations from which they came, as listed above.
It looks like I can save and restore the Mail rules separately from the plist...
