Paste from other Application

I type frequently in Spanish using the U.S. keyboard and formats for Spanish. When I copy and paste in Appleworks, InDesign, Filemaker PRO, the copy and paste function is normal.
When I create Spanish text with the accents in a document other than Pages or Keynote and try to paste in Pages or Keynote, I get odd symbols where the normally accented letters are shown in other applications.
How can I do a simple paste so I don't have to retype all the text?

Which program are you copying and pasting from?
Pages and most other programs developed for use with Mac OSX use Unicode fonts. If the program you are using for your initial output does not, then that may be what is causing the problems (as the codes for generating each character may be different)
My suggestion is to save the file from the other program. Try to save or export it as an RTF file if you can. See if the file generated can be imported or opened in pages. If it can you should be able to copy and paste fine between the two open Pages files. (It's easier than it sounds when you familiarize yourself with Expose)

  • Cut, copy and paste from other applications not completely cleared

    Hi,
    I'm using build 573.
    When I cut, copy and paste inside Adobe Story synopsis or research content types, I often get text from other applications pasted instead of the text I have cut or pasted from my working document.
    Just to say, it's a little bit annoying when everything else about Adobe Story is so lovely.
    regards

  • Outlook 2010 paste from other programs not working.

    Hi,
    Win 7 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Win lang. ENG
    Outlook 2010 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Office lang. ENG
    Regional (date/time and so on) settings EE (Estonia)
    I have about 6 users with same conditions.
    When I'm trying to copy - paste from other programs like IE9, Word, Excel I'm unable to paste into Outlook message body.
    It just wont paste.
    Typically, Outlook shows me "thniking circle" for a millisecond or rarely just hangs.
    There are some exceptions:
    1. I'm able to paste into To: field
    2. I'm able to paste into Subject: field
    3. I'm able to paste even into body if I copied text from Notepad.
    4. I'm able to paste into body when I copied text from another email.
    Additional information:
    Outlook default message format "Plain text" (Rich text, HTML - does'nt matter)
    What I'v tried so far and results:
    1. Repair Office installation trough "Programs and features" - NO LUCK
    2. Changed default paste behaviour from other programs to "keep text only" - NO LUCK
    3. Used SAFE MODE - this helps, paste SEEMS WORKING correctly. Based on my knowledge, SAFE mode mainly disables Add-ins. OK.
    Disabled all Add-ins in normal mode so Outlook shows that "No Active Application Add-Ins" - NO LUCK
    So, I'm out of ideas. I think that this problem starts after installing Office 2010 SP1
    I don't want to uninstall SP1 because for me it's not a solution (SP1 won't dissapear from the list of updates), ok.. agree, it may be
    temporary solution but at the end of the day, there must be something else.
    Any ideas?

    Rename normailemail.dotm to .old when Outlook is closed and see if it works now.
    You can find the file here;

    Thanx, NormalEmail.dotm did not do anything for me but the renaming the Normal.dotm in the same folder did the trick for me. I can paste links again into outlook :)

  • How AWT TextField can copy/paste from another application?

    Hi,
    We know in applet for the security reason you can not access the getSystemClipboard from the Swing component like JTextField. But We know that with AWT TextField, you can copy and paste from another application. My question is how AWT textfield implemented with this feature. I don't think it is via the systemclipboard. Can some explain this for me?

    the simplest way is to select the part of charactors and drag them into your textfield ^O^

  • Microsoft Word and Excel Hang When Pasting From Apple Applications

    I have had a problem ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Word and Excel hang when pasting from Apple applications like Safari and Pages. Pasting to OpenOffice does not show the problem. Pasting from Firefox does not show the problem. I have resolved font duplicates, got rid of input managers, reinstalled Office removing plist files and normal templates but the problem persists. Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit. Besides, sticking to open source software , I am at a loss for what to try next besides reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6 (I am on 10.6.2 now). Any help appreciated. I have crash dumps and snapshots of the hung process if anyone can read them. Word is using close to 100% of the CPU when hung.

    Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit.
    If their software is freezing up, it's certainly nobody else's fault. If those Apple apps are for some reason creating bad clipboard data, Microsoft's apps should be able to gracefully recover and report the problem. Error handling is probably one of the most important, and most difficult, aspects of programming, but you can't blame poor error handling on anyone but the developer. I suspect that, rather than bad clipboard data, it's more likely to be a case of Microsoft's apps simply not understanding something about perfectly valid clipboard data, because they haven't properly followed Apple developer guidelines.
    Of course, that's not a solution. I can't really provide you a solution, other than to ask what version of Office you're using. If you're using too old a version of Word, you should update. You should also let us know what kinds of stuff you're copying. More info always helps to get better answers.

  • Access Address Book from other applications

    Hi there,
    How can I access Address Book information from other applications (notably the command line, OpenOffice, etc.)?
    In particular, is there a command line utility to access and edit the Address Book?
    Thanks!

  • 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.

    Hello,
    Just when you think that you know everything, it is slammed in your face that you don't. The .Mac member name field in the System Preferences DOES NOT take your whole e-mail address. It only takes your user name or whatever comes BEFORE the "@" symbol. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my MacBook Pro (other than ther brain dead user).
    Sorry for wasting your time...

  • Transfer postings from other application components to accounting

    Hi expert, we have to transfer posting from other application components(SD,MM) (system A) to accounting (system B, FI/CO module only).
    Is there any related documents of this aspect? 
    Best wishes,

    Hi!
    It will be not so easy. You have to set up an interface between the 2 systems.
    If you are using IDoc based interface, you can send IDocs from SD, when an invoice is enable to accounting.
    You might check out user exits (programs) RV60AFZA, RV60AFZB for this.
    Sorry, but this task will be not ready in 10 minutes...

  • Create DLL from labview and calling it from other application

    I have an application built using Labview. I wanted to create DLL out of it. The application has
    two String inputs start and stop buttons and two status indicators.

    2. Does Labview created DLLs requires labview runtime engine when it is to be called from other application?
    Can some one help on this.
    Solved!

    Hi Yuvish,
    1) They should be boolean inputs to your VI. But does it makes sense to provide a stop button input at the start of your VI? (THINK DATAFLOW!)
    2) Yes, the LV-RTE is needed...

  • What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean?

    What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean in the Lightroom 4 features list? I also see it stated as "...from other software" as well. Yes, I understand the LR can import from Elements libraries but can't find any reference to other applications anywhere, not in the online help, not in the user guide, not in any videos on Adobe TV. It would be nice if LR could see into iPhoto or Aperture libraries but that doesn't appear to be the case. Is that assumption correct? What other applications can LR import from?

    Hello bbb34vball,
    Since that article didn't help, I would suggest trying the steps in this article next:
    iOS: Unable to import photos to computer - Apple Support
    If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

  • Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications.

    Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications. It happened a few times randomly, and it seemed to resolve spontaneously, but now it is persistent.
    I've done scans for malware, which I suspected, but nothing showed up, nor corrected it with cleaning.
    I had this problem before, and I found directions on how to rest the printer within Firefox, but I've forgotten how or where I got it.
    I did try to re-install in control panel, but this appears to be a firefox issue. How do i rest the plugin or Firefox to once again print PDFs from browser pages. I need to use this feature printing receipts etc.

    Are you using a toolbar button (Create PDF extension) or a printer driver (selecting Adobe PDF or Distiller in the Print dialog) to generate the PDF? Older versions of Create PDF have been reported not to work any more (by older I mean from Acrobat X or earlier), but the printing method should still work.

    I just tried installing them. I got the message that "Some updates failed to install" (including for CS5), to quit and try again. I was curious and tried again to print and lo and behold, I could print!  I'm still nervous that not everything installed and wonder how to get a complete install.

    your signon url is consists of the following url http://server.domain.com:port/site/signon.html
    Can you ping server.domain.com from your client?
    If you can ping it, then make sure your port is added as a rule in the firewall of the server.
    Also make sure that the proxy setting of the client have an exception to server.domain.com.
    If you cannot ping it, make sure the server and the client are conneted to the same network and make sure the hosts file on the client reflects the ipaddress and the hostname of the server.
