Pages: How to copy & paste formats & remove links

I don't see a "paint brush" feature and can't see how to remove links from email addresses that are automatically being applied in my spreadsheet like Pages document. I'd like to remove all links without having to do each one separately. After I copy a format in one cell, I can't copy the format in another cell because "Paste format or style" is dimmed.

Suggestion: select a column by the header working label (A, B, C... for columns), then set the format of all the cells int he column at once. Or do the same for rows. And yes, the display of tables in Pages 5.2 when you are working on it looks for all the world like an Excel spread sheet, or Visi-Calc.

For clarification, works like a bookmark of website only it is listed in toolbar with "Most Visited", "Latest Headlines", "News", and "Popular". I have done it before but can't find it for the life of me.
Thanks!

Hidden text at bottom of page, how can I fix formatting?

hidden text at bottom of page, how can I fix formatting?

You don't give much information so I'm going to guess you're using a text box, perhaps in a layout document. Click on the little empty blue box on the lower right side, then click where you want the text to continue.

How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

How to copy/paste anchor text box to its anchor point in text and delete all empty anchors?

hi all
i have a document of few pages but one story. The right column is the main text box and on many places anchored text boxes are placed which appeared on the left column as shown below.
i want text of each anchor-text-box to be cut from its place and paste at its insertion/anchor point and delete all empty anchored boxes.
I am trying since morning but i unable to reach anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be helpful.

Ok, let's say you have one main text box (not anchored) and three text boxes that are anchored to text within it. The first one is anchored with text, the second one is unanchored, and the third one is empty (I'm not going to get into inline anchoring vs. custom anchoring since you didn't bring it up in your post).
We cycle through the items on the page:
function main(){
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
    var myPage = myPages[i];
    //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.
    if (myPage.isValid == false) continue;
    if (myPage.parent instanceof MasterSpread) continue;
    var myItems = myPage.allPageItems;
    for (var j = 0; j < myItems.length; j++){
      //Current item.
      var myItem = myItems[j];
      //If myItem doesn't have a Character parent, it is not anchored.
      //The first and third text frames would fail this test.
      if (!(myItem.parent instanceof Character)) continue;
      //We only care about text frames.
      if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
      //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
      //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content
      //is inadvertently lost.
      else if (myItem.texts.length > 1) continue;
      //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
      //Flatten the text frame.
      //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
      //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
      flattenItem(myItem);
function flattenItem(funcItem)
     //Hold onto the anchor character.
    var myParent = funcItem.parent;
     //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
     //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
     //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
     if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
     //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
     //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
    myParent.contents = " ";
I guess the takeaway might be that you're not looking at the main text frame and then checking to see if anything is anchored to it. You're looking at each text frame and figuring out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

How to copy & Paste plus take a screen shot or download pic

On the bold to copy & paste you held down the alt & use the track pad to highlight then pressed the bb key to copy & paste.. How do you do the same function on my new Q10???? Also when I was on FB or the net I could download a picture by pressing BB key & scroll to download & it would save to my memory card.. How do I do this on the q10???
Anyone have an idea on these functions?? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For screen shots you press the Volume Up and Volume Down together until you hear the shutter sound.
For copy/paste, tap and hold on text and you see the word highlighted. At both ends of the highlight are little slider balls you can drag to highlight more text. Then tap the symbol that looks like document pages to copy. To paste the text, touch and hold where you want to paste the text. Tap the pages icon again.

How to Copy the formatting of text already in an indesign document?

Hello everybody.
I'm still fairly new to indesign and am self taught so feel I have missed some of the little tools that make life simpler.
One such problem I'm having is that when I import text into my brochure I'm creating, I need it to be formatted the same as the rest of the text in my project. Is there a simple way for me to copy the formatting style in the rest of the document or do I have to choose the specific font, colour, size and justification every time I import some new text?
I know in Microsoft word for example there is a specific button which copy's the formatting from one section of text to another, is there a similar kind of button in indesign?
Thanks
Ant

You can use the Eyedropper tool to copy type attributes. But you are probably much better off learning how to use Paragraph Styles and applying them consistently. That way when you need to make a change, all your paragraphs will update in lock-step.

How to copy/paste as unformatted text in Acrobat 9 Pro text field?

Hi all,
I'm having difficulty copying/pasting text from another source as unformatted text in an interactive PDF text field in Acrobat 9 Pro. I have specified the font size, colour and typeface for the text field. However, when I copy and paste text, the text retains its formatting. Strangely enough, this isn't an issue when I type out the text.
I'm really not keen on typing out all the text for all the text fields because:
there's alot of it
waste of my time
potentially introducing typos
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Trish

Thanks for your suggestion! That actually did work pretty well.
I had set up all the fields as non-rich text, cut and pasted the text into the fields, and then change the fields back to rich text to format them (ie superscript, subscript etc).
Unfortunately, now I'm faced with another problem.
I won't be able to add more "unformatted" text later on easily. It appears that to do so, I would have to change the fields to non-rich text which wipes out all the formatting I've already applied.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Trish

How to copy & paste effects

Hello,
First off sorry I'm not to familier with Audition. What I am trying to do is export a bunch of clips from Premier Pro to Audition to take out background noise. I know how to do that, but is there a way I can fix one of the clips in Audition and simply "copy & paste" the grouped effects to all the other clips? This way I don't have to go into each clip and make the adjustments. Thank you

If you can record a 'favourite' which will do all of the processing you want, then you can apply it to a group of files using Batch Process, which you'll find in the Edit menu.

How to copy/paste texts/images from webpages in iBooks Author?

Hi,
I want to copy/paste text/image contents from webpages with iBooks Author, somehow images can't be copied, only texts can be copied with copy/paste editing. Wonder if there are any ways to include images with simple copy/paste?
Tried to search iBooks Author help, could not find answers. Please help.
Thanks

Perhaps the people who spent a lot of time and money to produce the websites.....and who own copyright ...don't want anybody using their work without payment or credits. Have you contacted the websites owners to ask permission?
IF any person(s) use anything from websites without permission apart from being to lazy to email to request permission....could face a legal action if and when the sites owners fins out.
There is another her misconception that "free" websites and content on "social media" such as the dreaded FaceBook....can be used without consequence. Almost all "free" websites are common licence material - which requires permission and those who give permission do so only for personal or none profit reproduction.
i Use a blocking script on my websites which apart from preventing a right click...those who try are whisked off my website to the the UK copyright website page which explains my rights!
You may wish to check out your iBooks contract with Apple and read their warnings on use of others copyright material.
You could ..and should contact the websites...explain what you want to use and why....and ask them if they can supply media.

Exactly how to copy/paste audio?

I see in the manuals and lessons that you can copy audio from a video clip and use it elsewhere.
What I'm stuck on is EXACTLY how you copy audio (without the video it is with). I have "extracted" the audio in the clip from which I want to take the audio and identified which bit of it I want.
I see from the manual how to copy video, by placing cursor just under the play head and dragging. But this brings with it the video, so when I paste I get the audio I want together with the unwanted video which barges out of the way the clip into whcih I want to drop the audio only.
I am sure I'm missing something simple, but I can ony find guidance on copy video, not audio, althought he lessons lightly say you can do it, they don't say how.
Anyone can help?
TIA
Martin

Answered my own question.
You select by positioning the "audio playhead" in the audio clip in question, dragging it and pressing Coomand-C to copy the audio clip. (I'm guessing this is obvious to Mac users but it's not clear to this pc refugee how to "select" - in fact it's taken days to get to the bottom of this.
Then position the playhead where you want the audio clip and Edit-Paste, then trim teh excess to get the bits you don't want.
Actually less intuitive and user friendly than I would have expected, but well, there is it.

How to Copy & Paste Image

I have received a PDF with a picture only - no text. I would like to copy & paste that image twice so that I end up with three of that same image on the page. Adobe TV makes it look so easy but I noticed that there was a text box around the image. The image I have is not in a box. Can I somehow put a box around it or is there some other way to copy and paste? Please help!!!

Actually copying and pasting an existing image into the same PDF is not really straightforward in Acrobat X. First, select the image using the Selection tool, then right click and select Copy Image. Next, you'll need to navigate to the Comment pane and click on the stamp tool. and select Paste clipboard image as Stamp Tool.
