Mail no longer allows pasting from MS Excel or MS Word into a message.

I used to be able to paste data from an Excel table directly into a Mail message in Mail.app but I have not been able to do that for some time now and I don't know what changed. Granted I was never able to paste the table format into Mail but at least I could get the data from Excel and then just tweak the formatting. However, another function I used to be able to do was paste a PPT sheet into Mail and I can no longer do that either.
Maybe I'm missing something but am I the only one experiencing this issue?
My only workaround at this point is to use Outlook 2011 but even then it doesn't paste like it used to.
Ideas? (besides going with another email application)
Thanks!

Try highlighting / selecting in Excel 2011, then use CMD+Option+C to copy.
I believe the option key is the magic here.
Use same when pasting into Mail (CMD+Option+V to paste).

How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

Microsoft excel cannot copy and paste from one excel doc to another one

I have a user that is on a Windows 7 64-bit machine and he has to different instances of excel open and coping information from one excel file to the other one. He can do it once and then when he tries to do it again excel says, "Microsoft cannot Copy and
Paste."
I have tried to repair the install, that worked for a few days.
Tried uninstalling Office suite and then re-installing Office suite.
I reformatted the computer and did a fresh install of windows 7 and Office suite and today it started again.
I need to get a fix for this as soon as possible.

Copy and Paste from an excel spreadsheet to a JTable

I'm composing an e-mail, and I copy/paste from a web page.

Let's suppose I copy / paste from a web document. For the sake of argument I'm using Mail. A black box appears around the pasted part (with a "X" in the corner).
But, if I do a second paste, the new text is always inside the old box, therefore screwing up the indent.
I can't get the curser to start outside the box. How can I get rid of the box while composing?
Yes, the box disappears when I click outside it, but re-appears if I go for a new line below it.
Here's an example of how it looks.
#1. The fox.
The quick brown fox jumped over the i-mac.
#2. I'm frustrated that I can't paste or type where the first line started, indent wise.
Once the curser is after the word i-mac, and I try to move it down, the next line always goes to the indent of "The" and not #1.

I take you are trying to write an email within Safari, try this open Safari and click on the Safari menu and select reset Safari.

Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? - OS 10.6.3

Hi,
New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names." It was not answered and is quoted here:
---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off. Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or -> drag and drop picture clipping.
Opening Image File in CS5
Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.

Running Widows Vista system, every time I try to copy and paste from Firefox DEP shuts down Word Works

I am using a HP desk top with Windows Vista. When ever I try to copy and paste from Mozilla Firefox, the DEP system shuts down
Microsoft Works Word Processor. I have tried turning off DEP for Works but it still shuts down the Program.

This is might because of your prior change in softwares. so first you have to do run '''sfc''' in run command. and then you see the specific problem which causes this . Since System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.
* Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.
* Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted.
* In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter:
sfc /scannow

See this is not a problem of firefox till now. You can check more with microsoft answers site.

Office 2008, which does run in Lion, MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE you upgrade to Lion, because its installation program has Rosetta-required PPC code.
Another issue is that many people with legacy MS Office data files are experiencing severe problems with translation of the legacy files by MS Office 2008 or 2011.
For example, I must access a file once a week that I created in MS Excel 2004 and its graphs are scrambled by Excel 2011. I continue to access it with Excel 2004 in Snow Leopards installed in Parallels 7 in Lion:
If you decide to continue to use your version of MS Office (even as a backup to obtaining Office 2011, but with conversion problems), full installation instructions for Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) in Parallels 7 in Lion are here:

Suddenly, I can no longer copy/paste from Adobe Digital Editions

I have been using ADE to read books that I am using for research for my thesis paper. I was going right along, copying and pasting relevant quotes from ADE into my word processor, it was great. Now, all of sudden, I no longer receive the option to copy and paste when highlighting text.
Any help? I have restarted the program and my computer to no avail. Is this a copy-right issue? Are they worried I'm just copying the entire text to put elsewhere online? Very frustrating.

Select the text (not the text object), copy and paste.
If that doesn't work, please specify system and software.

Mac Mail no longer allows me to make text bold

I'm using Lucida Grande as my default font, and since installing Snow Leopard the command>b no longer emboldens the type. Even if I go to format>style>bold it still doesn't work. Even if I go to format>show fonts and select the bold version of the font it still doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Hi chaps & chapettes
My system is running OS X 10.6.4 and Safari 5 (which is when the problems started) (and Mail 4.3)
I managed to sort this problem after tryin everything from:
*Font Book:*
- resolving duplicates
- validating fonts (and deleting all the warning & corrupted fonts)
*Linotype FontExplorer X*
- Clean system font caches
system/library/fonts
- manually deleting Helvetica and Helvetica Neue
The solution that worked for me was to select all fonts in the FontBook application, and click EDIT>SELECT DUPLICATE FONTS
Once selected, I simply disabled all of them... hey presto I can now, use shortcut keys for Bold and Italics in Mail.
Hope it helps
Matt

Mail: Problem with copy&paste from Remote Session

Hi,
I have a problem to copy just text from remote session (MS RDP Client) directly into an email. It always shows a contact .
The workaround is to paste into any other app, it doesn't matter which one. It works with Outlook for Mac but not with Mail. Does someone have the same issue and maybe a solution?
Due to connection issues I cannot use Outlook outside the company... so not an alternative at the moment.
Thanks

OS 10.9 no longer allowing scanning from dell 1355 CNW

It appears my Dell 1355 no longer will accept scanning after installing Maverick OS (10.9). Printing works, but scanning stopped after the Maverick install. I have the latest Dell drivers and firmware.. Solutions?

Use the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder for scanning ..
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Launch Image Capture.
Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Imort To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

Automatic downsizing of an image when copy-paste from .doc to .docx in word 2010?

Hello,
I was changing the headers of a series of word documents (some .doc, some .docx) and, in spite of inserting the image from a file in each one, i just copied and pasted the image from one to another after a first insertion.
My source image was a 300dpi rgb jpeg: i noticed that, when coping it from a .doc document to a .docx document the image automatically downsizes to 150dpi and becomes a png; Is there a reason for it? Is there something I am doing wrong? Where can I eventually
control that setting?
Many thanks!

Multiple Paste from excel to table control

Hi All,
I need to provide a facility that will enable us to enter values on table control in a module pool by copy-pasting from an excel.
The problem is that it is only pasting the number of rows that can be seen on the screen. While I need to paste 100 lines.
I have set the 'Lines ' parameter as 100 and yet it is not working.
Kindly suggest a way .
regards,
Inesha

The solution is above.
Try the method CLIPBOARD_IMPORT of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.
You can get all data in internal table and move all data into table control's internal table.
