Pages: Cutting and pasting from E-mail?

Hi,
When I cut and paste more than one page of text from my e-mail (AOL), only the first page of text will paste to my Pages blank page.
So, if I want to cut and paste, say, 5 pages of text from an e-mail to a Pages document, only the first page will cut and paste.  Even though the entitre document in the e-mail highlights when I select it for pasting.  But when I go to the Pages page where I have pasted it, only one page of text is there.
Why?  Any answers?  Thanks.
R.J.

This happens with may word processors, not only Pages.
Paste first into TextEdit, and save file. Can see the whole of it? If yes, import it into Pages or even copy-paste from TextEdit file. Both should work.
The pasted text is indeed there, just there is a frame on the first page only, and you cannot see more than a page.

  • 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...

  • Cannot Cut and Paste From Excel

    I am trying to simply cut and paste from Excel into the Xcelsius spreadsheet. Even though the user manual indicates to copy from Excel and right click where you want to paste, the Paste and Paste Special functions are greyed out. It is almost like the cells are locked or protected somehow. I selected Formal Cells -> Protection and unlocked the cells but still nothing. Any ideas? Excel 2007

    Hi,
    It seems your workbook was locked. Try the following... it might help you.
    I know some of you out there have hit this problem in the past and now we have a workaround...
    If you try to add/remove/modify a worksheet in the Xcelsius embedded Excel and you can't do it.
    1. Start to unprotect the workbook:
    Office 2007 (Ribbon menu in Xcelsius or Excel). Select Review > Protect Workbook > Protect Structure and Windows.
    Office 2003 (menu only in Excel). Select Tools > Protection > Unprotect Workbook.
    2. You will be prompted for a password.
    3. This is the password (the O is an uppercase o):
    fazOh1+u
    4. Click OK and the spreadsheet should no longer be locked.
    Let me know if still your problem exists.

    If you refer to this

    then they have an issue with mac version.
    At a first glance, their website is optimized for Windows only, it displays badly in Safari, perhaps it would be better in Firefox or other browser.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Italics and boldface not preserved in cut-and-paste from InDesign CS3

    This is using Mac InDesign CS3 5.0.1 and Mac Dreamweaver CS3
    9.0.
    When cuting-and-pasting text from InDesign CS3 to Dreamweaver
    CS3, basic text formatting such as italics and boldface are not
    preserved for me. When I select Edit, Paste Special in Dreamweaver,
    the "Text with structure plus basic formatting (bold, italic)" is
    not selectable when the clipboard holds InDesign-origin text.
    If I paste the same InDesign text into Word, the formatting
    is preserved and if I then cut-and-paste from Word into
    Dreamweaver, boldface and italics are preserved. But I don't want
    to cut-and-paste everything twice!
    Do others experience this too?

    Apparently it is an issue with Leopard (and Illustrator)
    Workarounds:
    1) Export from InDesign as eps or PDF, or
    2) Copy paste into Photoshop as a Smartobject, and then double click the layer to edit smart object (it will open in Illustrator)
    I know, it's a pain.

  • Quick way to format text cut and pasted from a web browser into Pages?

    I work a lot by cutting and pasting text from web browsers into my word processor.
    When I was using Word, I had built a very useful macro that allowed me to re-format the font, font size, colour, line spacing etc, as well as to remove hyperlinks, all by pressing one keyboard shortcut.
    Is this possible in Pages? I've tried Paste and Match Style, and Paste Paragraph Style, but they only seem to solve half the problems.
    Surely this must be a common problem? I've had a look in the discussion forums, but can't find anything...

    arthur,
    I'm not having any trouble deleting links. Click on View > Show Invisibles. If there's a space following the link, put your cursor to the right side of the space, click, then drag to the left so that you highlight the link. Then just hit delete.
    Or, if you want to have a web or email address in your copy without it being a live link, highlight it, then click on the Link inspector > Hyperlink button > and UNcheck +Enable As Hyperlink+.

  • Cut and paste from Safari to Word doc please Help!!!!!

    I am trying to take a map from the internet via either Mapquest or Rand Mcnally maps and put it in a Word document, and I cannot figure out how to do it. I have tried to highlight the map and cut and paste it in the document but this is not working, if anyone out there knows how to perform this function, please let me know as soon as possible.
    Thanks

    Hi knopper, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    This should work. :~)
    1] cmd shift 4 brings up a cross hair.
    2] drag cross hair across the map and release.
    3] see the png file, maybe jpg, on your desktop or where you have system store new things.
    4] open to make sure its what you want.
    5] copy it into word.
    If that works, I like Green or Gold stars. See Apple info on the email alerts.

  • How to cut and paste from one PDF to another

    Acrobat Pro - 2 weeks ago I could cut and paste text from one PDF to another doc or PDF but now the cursor has disappeared and I only get a hand.  I can no longer highlight text. Is there something in the settings I can change?

  • Cut and Paste from Reader to Outlook

    Hi,
    Here is my problem - hopefully someone can help me out with a solution
    I have had a flyer designed by someone which is essentially in 2 parts - an image at the top and some narrative at the bottom. It has been converted from Corel Draw into a .pdf file
    I want to send it out in the body of an email (not as an attachment)
    I have tried to cut and paste it into the body of the email but only the image gets copied and not the narrative.
    When I try to select the full area by going to the top left and thenleft click and hold and drag the range down to the bottom right it all appears to be selected as it all goes into shadow - however when I release the left mouse button the area in shadow jumps back so that it only covers the image part and not the narrative part.
    Any help gratefully received...Regards....John

  • Cut-and-paste from Windows notepad to webforms text item?

    I can copy text from a Windows program such as notepad and paste it into a text item ina a client/server version of a form, but if I run the same form over the web, I lose the cut-and-paste functionality. Is it possbile to cut-and-pastee text into a webform text item?
    Thank you!
    Tom

    You can do this on the web but yu require an extra step. Have a look at the browser setting - you need to ensure that
    you are able to run unsigned applets.
    Hope this helps.

  • CS4 cutting and pasting from illustrator expands appearance

    I'm working within CS4 taking a few simple vectors and pasting into ID, Everything seems to work except a few images which the strokes are converted to fills.
    The illustrator file has multiple artboards but other items cut and paste perfectly.
    Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried throwing a clipping mask around it, grouping, ungrouping, dragging... And I can't get it to work.
    Here's the file if it'll help: https://www.yousendit.com/download/Y1RwcHBFNXZCMTVMWEE9PQ

    Do you know where the complex vs. simple starts and ends?
    At the point that ID doesn't support the constuct natively.
    I know that answer is less than useless. If you can figure it out, you'll probably also have a great future at the track or as a stock picker (and I don't mean in a warehouse).
