Paste image into new frame with same offset

InDesign CS4-- I'm trying to copy an image from one frame and Paste Into another frame on the same page, and have it appear in the same position within the frame. I want it to adhere to the offset coordinates of the previous frame, but instead, it uses the offset coordinates of the page, or centers the image within the new frame. As I recall, CS2 or CS3 had a feature that allowed me to do this, but I cannot figure it out in CS4. Please help! Thanks.

Thanks, Rob. Unfortunately, I got a new error with the latest script you posted (sorry--not trying to be a pest!!). It says,
Apple Script Error!
Error Number: -2753
Error String: The variable myRend is not defined.
(One thing that's different is I'm working on a different machine than I was the first day I posted about this, but I'm using the exact same version of InDesign. Would this make a difference? I forgot to copy the original script file from the other computer before coming to work today... If I need to do that, I can.)
Thanks for your continued help!

  • Pasted image into gmail disappears when using Safari

    Pasted image into gmail disappears when using Safari
    I recently upgraded to Mavericks (after having a lot of seemingly unrelated trouble with my Macbook Pro (early 2011))
    Since then, when I create a new message in gmail, and paste in a screen shot (captured with command-control-shift-4), the image shows up nicely.  But after I hit send, the image disappears.  It doesn't show up to the recipient, and when I look at my sent mail, it doesn't show up there either.  There's nothing, no icon showing where the image should be, just empty space in the message.  This seems to happen in Safari, but seems to works fine when creating the message in Chrome.  (please, restrain yourself from telling me "Duh.  Use Chrome." I know it's tempting, but my computer has some issues and Chrome doesn't always work.)  If I create the same sort of message in Chrome, and then go to Safari gmail, I can see the image just fine.  So it appears to be something about keeping the image attached to the content of the message while sending (vs. a viewing problem).
    I know when Mavericks was installed, I had to install something in Safari for Adobe docs to show up again.  Is there something I need to install so that images will stay attached to the content of gmail messages again?
    Thanks

    After you click Download (the attachment) from your Safari menu bar click Window / Downloads.
    Right or control click the file in the Downloads window then click: Show in Finder
    I'm not sure if you can designate another folder for downloading web based attachments to, however, instead of accessing your Gmail
    account using Safari, you can set up the Gmail account from the Mail app on your hard drive. Mail preferences allow you to choose the
    folder you want to use for downloaded files.
    To add an account:
    Choose File > Add Account or click the Add button in the Accounts pane of Mail preferences.
    Enter information about the user.Mail searches for the information it needs to finish setting up your account. If it can’t find the information, continue to the next step.
    Enter information about the incoming and outgoing mail servers, review the account summary, and then click Create.For information about options, click the Help button (looks like a question mark).If you don’t want the account to be active immediately, deselect the “Take account online” checkbox. You can take the account online later.
    If you aren’t sure about the information to enter, contact your email service provider before you begin. When you talk with your provider, you can use the Mail settings “cheat sheet” available using the link below to record settings you might need to set up an account. If you’re switching from another application to Mail, use the cheat sheet to record information for each account you want to switch.

  • Cannot paste image into Facebook's comment box

    I can do that in Chrome but not in Firefox. How can I fix this?

    Thanks. But that didn't help. I had up-to-date flash already. And while I can't paste image in Firefox, I can in Chrome (with the same version of flash.)
    Btw, just to make sure, I wasn't talking about "uploading photo" to Facebook, but "pasting image into comment or chat box"

    I was making new Apple ID with my other Email on iTunes, but I canceled the process on payment page. After a while I went to make a new ID with same Email but it says the Email is already in use! what should i do?

    You will need to try changing the email address on the first account and see if you can then re-use it on a new account - you can try changing the email address via http://appleid.apple.com or by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes (if you don't have a spare email account then you can create one via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com)

  • Copy/paste images into pages within sharepoint cloud 365?

    Hi garynguyen,
    premise doesn't provide this kind of oob function to copy and paste the image into SharePoint page directly, you may develop your own solution (or use third party solution) to ahcieve this goal.
    For Office365 SharePoint online question, we have a dedicated forum as below, you can post there for a better assistance with more experts regarding this Office365 issue.

  • Why does a Flash movie whose frames were just cut & pasted on a new frame act funny when tested?

    Why is that whenever I cut a frame, clear the frames in a timeline, paste it in new frame then test the clip, the whole thing starts to act funny?
    I just don't understand why that happens - it's supposed to run smoothly though it's on a new frame, right? Is there a way to maintain the movie clip when tested though some frames were cut then pasted on a new frame?

    I should've posted up screenshots of my project in the message but I thought the site wouldn't allow to post external links.
    Anyway, when the frames are "as is", the file runs normally when tested...

    But when I cut the frames in question, clear the frames, then paste them onto a new frame...
    http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq19/tsujzpie/cutremovepaste.jpg
    ...the movie now acts weird. I just don't understand why - it shouldn't do that, right?

    By the way, I used Flash Macromedia 8 for this - is that an issue related to this problem?

    you cannot paste the images into sharepoint pages directly, Images cannot be rendered as HTML so cannot be pasted.
    You have to upload the images into SharePoint then insert it on the pages /places you want.
    or other work aorund buy the 3rd party tool which you mentioned.

  • Paste images into wiki pages

    is it possible for a user to
    paste images into SharePoint 2013 wiki pages while editing.
    MP

    there is no OOTB way to do this, you have to insert it from computer or sharepoint. SharePoint needs that image store into the images library.
    other way is embed int the page using HTML tags but this is not recommended.

  • FCP 10.1.3 multiple graphic images into one frame

    Hi - How do I put multiple graphic images into one frame? - so it kind of looks like a video wall - except these are still images. I can do it manually but it's not precise. Anyone found a way other than this? Thanks.

    Here is my quick and dirty generator called "9 Pictures": https://www.dropbox.com/s/92c536wgesh2yzj/9%20Pictures.zip?dl=0
    To install it, unzip the file and place the folder inside /Users/yourname/Movies/Motion Templates/Generators
    It will look like this in FCP X. You just have to click each drop zone icon in the inspector and then select the desired clip from the browser. Use the Pan and Scale controls in the inspector to select which part of each image you want to use. Note: this was done in the hope that it may be helpful, but it is no more than a quick thing. You can also control-click the generator in the generator browser and choose open in motion (if you have it) to see how it was done and to modify it.

  • How do I insert an image into a Frame?

    Hi!
    I need to insert an image into a Frame(java.awt.Frame) and I can't use swing, I need to use only awt.
    Witch class do I use to insert an image?
    Using swing I used a JLabel and the setIcon method. But now I can use only AWT.

    Out of curiosity, why are you limiting yourself to AWT? Why not use Swing / JFrame, etc..
    I think this is a situation where answering your direct question is the wrong way to go. Perhaps its more of a design question that needs to be addressed.

  • Drag and drop images into anchored frames -- can this be done with the images imported by reference?

    My company bought a product from another company and the only manuals files that came with it were in pdf format. I am currently grabbing text out in Acrobat, then pasting and reformatting it in FrameMaker. Boring and tedious. . . .
    Eventually I get to the point of importing the illustrations. There are *hundreds* of them. As a rule, we import the files by reference, to keep the chapter size smaller and to be able to double click the image to open it for modification.
    However, I can drag an image file from the folder window and drop it into an anchored frame. Oooh, this is fast--way faster than all the mousework that goes into clicking file>import>file>[choosing the file then hitting the import button].
    But, dang it, that copies the image into the FrameMaker file. No double-click opening. Giant fm. file size. Mad boss, shaking an SOP standards sheet in my face.
    So, my question: Is there a way to import an image *by reference* by dragging and dropping them into an anchored frame?
    Thanks, folks.
    Moore. Matt Moore.

    I tried the RTF route and, in addition to getting the body text I wanted, got paragraph after paragraph of the page numbers, the illustration text, the header and footer verbiage, all randomly placed between body text paragraphs.
    I did the same file twice, once by saving as RTF and deleting unwanted stuff, then repairing body paragraphs (each line of which is a seperate paragraph in the RTF file) and also by sweeping only the necessary text, then copying and pasting it page by page. The second method was a bit faster and less frustrating. Not to say that it isn't slow and frustrating in itself, but just a bit less. Less errors, too, with the second method.
    Bummer about importing by reference. I don't suppose there's a way to set up recorded actions with hotkeys, is there? Like in Illustrator?
    Thanks, Art.

  • Suddenly can't paste image into email?

    As of a few days ago, I can no longer copy and paste an image into my email body. Was there some upgrade or did I accidentally hit some setting that I need to fix. Really strange?

    OK, that was a bit odd.
    Initially, it refused to drag-and-drop.
    I tried copy-and-paste, which worked. I then repeated drag-and-drop, which worked now.
    Insert via the menu also worked.
    Are you copy-and-pasting directly into an empty message, or have you already started typing? Some users complain that toolbar functions are greyed out, but then those functions are greyed, deliberately, until there is some text to work with. I wonder if the cursor has to be at a defined insertion point for copy and paste to work. It may need a paragraph to anchor to, and a blank document may not offer a workable anchor point.
    It's been mentioned that some aspects of the composition window have been changed; it was suggested that drag and drop of text was new (though I was under the impression it had been there forever! ;-) ) Such changes may affect other actions such as pasting from the clipboard.
    So, in a roundabout way, I have to say the functionality is still there (or it is in my installation, at the least) but maybe the trigger conditions have changed.
