My Word  documents repeatedly crash when I cut and paste between documents or websites. Can you help?

My Micrososft Word 2011 repeatedly freeze when I cut and paste between documents or with a website. Any advice?

This is from the Microsoft Answers website,
Try a Maggie:
The Maggie:
1. Create a new blank document in .docx format
2. Carefully select all of the text in the bad document EXCEPT the last
paragraph mark
3. Copy it.
4. Paste in the new document.
5. Save under a new file name and close all, then re-open.
This technique for de-corrupting is known as "Doing a 'Maggie'", after
Margaret Secara from the TECHWR-L mailing list, who first publicised the
technique.

  • Why does the frame color change to black when I copy and paste between documents?

    Copying and pasting between documents in Indesign. The color of the text stays the same but the lines and frames change from a specified color to black. Also changes when I drag and drop can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    You have not provided any exact information like what version of ID, system info, paragraph styles, color definitions and whatnot, so we can't know what is going on. either way, ask in the ID forum and provide all those important details.

  • Robohelp Crashes when I cut and past

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem which has cropped
    up over the past couple of days?
    I am using RH6. When I try to cut and paste text, or copy -
    all standard word-style functions, RH crashes. I have trued the
    usual tricks to repar my corrup[ed database, but the problem will
    not go away. I recently tried to import a word document, which I
    suspect has cause the problem. Now, how do I fix this?

    I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to copy and paste.
    I've found that when I try to copy and paste links that
    appear in a list in the WYSIWYG editor, RH crashes. If I do the
    copy and paste in the TrueCode editor, it works just fine. If your
    topics are in a list, make sure you add the necessary HTML (
    <ul> <li> </li> </ul> ).
    If you're trying to copy and paste an entire topic, this
    won't work for you.

  • Finder crashes when i cut and paste

    For the last few days, every time that i try to cut and paste files from one folder to another through the finder, finder crashes and i have to relaunch. interestingly, the files are actually pasting properly into the destination folder notwithstanding that finder hangs and stops responding every time. this has been happening with file folders that are about 150 - 250 Mbs in size. All that i'm doing is command-a (select all), command-c and then in the destination folder, command-v. The screen pops up which says that the computer is gathering info about the files to be pasted and then the swirly "working" mouse icon comes on and doesn't leave. Eventually i have to relaunch finder. This has happened about 10 times in a row. I'm not running any other applications at the time (other than widgets).
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    I'm going to ask around in the meantime run Repair Disk and see if it turns anything up:
    EDIT: Actually, you can run "verify disk" from Disk Utility on your Mac. If that turns up anything then follow the instructions to repair.
    Steps for using Disk Utility
    1. Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear..
    2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
    6. Click Repair.
    If you repair errors run it until no errors found.

  • Indesign crashes when I try and open my document

    I created a file in Indesign which represents many days of work.
    It crashed indesign when I was pdf'ing the document and now it crashes indesign every time I try to open it.
    It is my only version.
    I have tried many ways to open it but nothing has worked - can you help?
    I've just realised that now - Indesign crashes when I try and open any document!
    Thanks very much
    NB Someone suggested I send it to Adobe and they may be able to fix it, but I can't find a contact email to send it to.

    You need to empty the InDesign Recovery folder (which is hidden in your user profile/library). You can find the path to InDesign SavedData in this link: Replace Your Preferences  and the recovery folder should be in the same folder with the InDesign SavedData file.
    Once the recovery folder is empty you should be able to launch ID, then try opening the file. If it wasn't damaged while writing it back to disk it will be fine, in the last previously saved state.

  • When I cut and paste on the ipad I often get unwanted html text.

    When I cut and paste on the ipad I often get unwanted html text. Is there a way to just get the selected words? I dont need all the code and % signs.

    Does this occur when you use a laptop?
    It could be some extra formating characters are being copied.  The web server app needs to filter these characters out.
    Possible solution.
    You need to find an app that filters out formating characters.  Look for app support only simple ascii text.
    copy text. paste to simple ascii text app.  copy pasted text.  Paste to safri.
    something like, should be good enough. use file type .txt

  • Can I resize a Quick Selected image so it fits when I cut and paste it on a different background.

    Can I resize a Quick Selected image so it fits when I cut and paste it on a new background? I am trying to take a photo of someone and place it on a different background. The Quick Selected image is too big when I paste it on the background. You can only see a small portion of the persons head.

    Open the photo, then go to Image>resize>image size. Read what the resolution is in px/in.
    Get out of this screen. Then use one of the selection tools to select the person, go to Edit>copy to put it on the clipboard
    Now, go to File>new>blank file. Enter width & height, and the same resolution value.
    Go to Edit>paste. The person will be on a separate layer. Use the move tool to position, and, to resize with the corner handles, if necessary
    Note: For printing, it is desirable to have the resolution in the 240-300px/in range. For web work, 72 px/in is ok

  • Small font when I cut and paste

    Got a new MBP about 3 months ago. Whenever I cut and past from a form into an email, the font is always 12 pt and I like 20 pt, which is my default size for email typing. How can I make it so anything I cut/past is 20 pt? Any ideas?

    This problem is bugging me too. I would like it when I cut and paste into an email it would format it correctly rather then copying the color and font size.

  • Links within a table are changed to an absolute path when I cut and paste

    Hi,
    We have help topics that contain tables and each cell in the table contains a hyperlink to another topic within the project. When I need to rearrange these links, I cut and paste them. When I cut and paste one of them, everything works as I would expect.
    Unfortunately, if I select multiple links/cells at the same time and perform a cut and paste, the links are automatically changed. They go from being a relative path to an absolute path.
    For example, this: ../MainMenu/Topic.htm#bookmark
    Gets changed to this: C:/Projects/2015/IM/MainMenu/Topic.htm#bookmark
    I'm using RoboHelp 9 with Windows 7.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? thanks.

    I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement made by the subject and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? Thanks.

    I don't know how to mark a clip the way you want without adding an audio clip and putting in markers and then splitting the clip. You would think that hitting M would be the logical way to do things, but...
    But, one can just click before the place one wants to edit, hit the spacebar and hit it again when the exact place is reached. Then go to the clip menu and click split clip. That works, but one really needs to keep the cursor out of both the timeline and the event browser, or the place in the timeline gets changed..
    Are you really still using iMovie 08? That drove me nuts...a year later iMovie 09 came out with some needed improvements, and iMovie 11 with its audio adjustments is even better.
    Personally, I edit iMovie with kind of a meat axe. I grab whole chunks of video and put it into the project, then edit the ends to get the frame I want. I got too frustrated otherwise.

  • Vim: cutting and pasting between Terminal windows.

    Has anyone else noticed in vim, that when cutting and pasting between 2 files opened in 2 separate vim sessions, each in it's own terminal.app window. that you get a lot of indentions stuffed in with the paste content? If I open both files within a single vim session by splitting the window. This is not a problem.
    on other systems that I use, setting 'noai' resolves this problem. but it doesn't appear to have any effect on OS X. any suggetions?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
       Talking to yourself? Don't let this drive you insane. The difference is probably in your ~/.vimrc. In order to avoid the extra indention characters you must unset autoindent and also cindent. You may not set the cindent on the other platforms. I have it set because it's useful in composing code from scratch. However, if I want to paste indented text I have use both ":set noai" and ":set nocindent". After that pasting doesn't add any extra indention.
