Paste special from content.rtf demonstrated by David Powers

How do I paste special from content.rtf to dreamweaver as part of tutorial part 2 by David Powers? I have tried double click but Word will not open, and I have opened content.rtf in wordpad but will not paste special into script window on dreamweaver.

OK - here is the documentation of this weird issue (hopefully, you can read the htlm code in the screen images):
1. In this topic, I cut and pasted some text into the table you see at the bottom of the screen. I had to reapply the “TableBody” style to this text. After doing this, I moved my cursor to the “Keyboard" text on top. Notice that it is displaying the "TABLEBODY" style, although visually, it is displaying the correct style on screen (“Heading 1”).
2.     In HTML view, notice the addition of the class= “TableBody”> code for this “Keyboard” text.
3.   I then reselected Heading 1 for this “Keyboard” text.
4.   Notice that the class= “TableBody”> code is now removed for this “Keyboard” text and has just the proper <h1> tagged assigned.

Paste Special from Word, nothing pasting in

I'm trying to paste into DW some word paragraphs. I'm doing the paste special to retain paragraphs, edit paste special, but nothing is pasting in.

I use a Mac, with Microsloth Word 12.3.6 (Office 2008). Any text that you copy directly into the code portion of Dreamweaver (and I have tested this with both CS3 and CS 5.5) will come in as plain text. Of course, you need to add paragraph marks to it, but you can do that one of two ways:
Copy the text in Word.
Go to the insert point you want to go to in Code view (or in the code box in Split view)
Paste the text; it will come in without Word formatting.
Select a paragraph of text.
Press [F5] to refresh
In the Properties panel (below your website working area) in the Format selector, choose Paragraph.
Or,
Copy the text in Word.
Go to the insert point you want to go to in Code view (or in the code box in Split view)
Paste the text; it will come in without Word formatting.
For each paragraph, in Code view, type "<p>" to begin each paragraph and go to the end of the paragraph and type "</" (Dreamweaver will automatically close the open paragraph tag).
Press [F5] to refresh.
This does work on Macintosh. I believe it may also work in Windows.

Paste Special from Word

I am currently inputing a large amount of copy done in MS
Word with tons of hyperlinks. I notice that DWcs3 eliminates the
deprecated span and font tags, but in the process drops the
hyperlinks. Is there no way to retain these? I have looked in
Preferences, but found nothing...

I have to paste/special/text when copying from Firefox and pasting in Word or Excel

When copying data from a table on IE, I just have to paste (ctrl-v), and the data is pasted into appropriate separate cells.
In Firefox, I have to "paste special" and click "text" to separate the fields. Otherwise, all the data is pasted into a single cell or in the case of Word, one paragraph.
Is there a setting that can be designated to allow paste as in IE or as within Word or Excel?

The [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1852/ Dafizilla Table2Clipboard] extension should help with this.

Paste Special link from excel to Ms project 365

Hi
I don't have a paste link button on my ms project 365? I am trying to import an excel sheet and the option to link the two isn't available on the project side? Can someone please advise.

If you're using Project Pro 2013 for Office 365, Julie's right: in the task ribbon, under paste, click on "paste special" then "paste link".
Hope this helps.

Pasting text from another document or website

Hello,
I'm trialing iWorks '09 and have to admit that while I love Apple, I cannot fathom iWorks. It is not intuitive for those of us used to MS Office, which I readily admit is not necessarily a good thing, but the tutorials and the manual don't even cover the basics. Like cutting and pasting.
Yes, there's nice sections that deal with this topic in the manual and tutorials, none of which deal with real-world situations.
I need to copy some legal boilerplate off a website, paste it into Pages, and manipulate it to suit my purposes. The cut is fairly lenthy, probably 100 lines of text. I create a new Pages document position the cursor and paste. The text comes out beautifully, except that it spills over the first page and into the abyss, not the second page. I have since figured out (no thanks to the manual or tutorials) that in pasting this website material, Pages creates a table, in which one of the rows contains my 100 lines of text. Since it's trying to stick the first row on the first page, it only shows as much text as the page will allow.
OK, I'm cool with that. Kind of. So I try to copy and paste the material that fell off the first page onto the second page. But wait! I can't go spelunking off the first page into the abyss. Pages will not allow me to retrieve the text at the bottom of the cell. Just for giggles. I insert the cursor towards the end of the first page and start typing. When I get to the end of the first page, the cursor also disappears into the void. I know its down there. I know that what I'm typing is actually being inserted. But there is no way to see it, cut it, paste it, or do anything with it.
OK, well at least in know that I'm dealing with a table, although there's nothing that makes this obvious (I only found out by going through the inspector and noticing that the text tools were all greyed out but the table tools were all raring to go). How can I get my leftover text back? I tried to manipulate the number of rows and columns in the table. I tried to split the row and the column (that's probably not the right thing to do, but I was desperate). Nothing works.
The first order problem is that Pages decided for me (though I didn't ask it to) that what I was pasting in was a table. There's no obvious way to get it not to do that. In other words, Pages is doing too much thinking for you, a sin usually more associated with MS. I want a dumber program that will listen to me, not a smart, specialized program that insists on doing things that I don't want it to do. I want my software to do what I want, not to try to make me conform to its conventions, which may not be appropriate to what I am trying to do. Isn't end-user orientation supposed to be what Apple is all about?
The second order problem is that there seems to be no clear instruction for what to do when encountering basic cut-and-paste operations that go awry, like this one. In the real world, people are always going to be cutting from websites, other documents, etc., and these may not fit into the preconceived notions of Pages' developers of what a cut should be. Tough. If Pages can't handle 100 lines of text being pasted in from somewhere else, an absolutely elementary operation, I don't have a good feeling about the iWorks suite as a whole.
I've had conversations with people about similar problems in Numbers. I was trying mightily to be open minded over there, realizing that there are more than two ways to skin a cat, but if Apple wants to move iWorks, it has to meet its clients where they are -- in a world dominated by MS (unfortunately). Like many others, I'm no fan of MS. Apple has always been my choice for computers and hardware. But I can't afford the time of taking a class at my local community college to relearn basic word processing operations I learned 25 years ago on MacWrite and MS Word 2.0. The iWork glossies sure look nice. Wish I could use it. But learning how is going to be an insane time killer and right now I just don't see how it's worth it.

The default behaviour of OSX is to copy and retain the format of copied objects and text.
This makes it possible for example to copy and paste the contents of a web page with all its links and layout. IMHO this should not be the default behaviour, it should be the other way around.
However in your case as you just want the text and have it take on the formatting of where it is being pasted:
+Menu > Edit > Paste and Match Style (command option shift v)+
making sure that the text you are pasting into is the default style. Start a fresh blank document if you like.
It also pays to watch what part of a web page you are copying from. You generally can see if it has selected outside the block of text and sometimes it is necessary to select from the bottom up to avoid gathering in too much formatting.
I think you may enjoy a simpler word processor, that has more than enough features but still remains simple.

Copy and paste Values from Numbers to Pages

When I do simple copy and paste content from Numbers to Pages, I get a formula error message. All I want to copy and paste the values only, not the formulas, but on pages I cannot find a way to paste values only. When it tries to paste formula, it errors because some of the formulas references to other sheets on Numbers. What is the easy way to get values from Numbers tables to pages without passing formulas.
Or better yet! Is there a way to link tables to pages like charts with refresh capabilities so I don't have to copy and paste values to pages document every time Numbers table values changes?

J,
There is no Paste Special in OSX, anywhere. You can Paste Values from the Edit menu in Numbers when that would be necessary.
In such cases where you would use Paste Values in Numbers, you can use Paste and Match Style in Pages for the same result.
Sometimes it's so obvious to Pages what should be done that it will give you what you need automatically, but sometimes you need to use Paste and Match Style to get the values rather than an error triangle.

Unable to Save, unable to Paste Special

Running DW CS5.5 on Windows XP. The problem happens in all Sites (approximately 20)
Dreamweaver internal JavaScript errors are coming at me when I try to "Save", "Paste Special", "Insert > Tag", and many other functions. The automatic date update function is not working along with a lot of other problems. When I do a CTRL-V to paste, it's throwing in all sorts of trash tags that are being picked up from the Word or Outlook content I'm copying, such as:
Usually I use Paste Special to strip out this junk, but nothing comes up when I click Paste Special.
Clicking Save in the form of "File > Sale", CTRL-S or the shortcut button at the top of the code pane does not work. I have to do a Save All or close the file and wait for the forced "Changes have been made do you want to save them?" prompt.
Here's one of the multitude of errors I get:
The errors all look similar to this, such as "While executing getIssueID in DisappearingButtonBackground.html, a Javascript error occurred." or "... in DoubleFloat Margin.html", etc.
I have re-installed DW and it did not help.
Any ideas on what's happening and how I can correct? Thanks.

Pasting tables from Mac TextEdit to InDesign CS4

Hi,
The thread title says it all, really.
Can you paste tables from Mac's TextEdit to InDesign CS4?

Pasting table content will paste as tabbed text. You can place (cmd+d) RTF (not RTFD) and maintain tables.
You will lose custom strokes and a few other formatting elements, but overall placing tables will preserve the integrity of them as you find them in text edit.

Pasting text from email

I just update to the recent version of Dreamweaver--version
8. I think the previous version I had was 7. The way text is pasted
is entirely different in this version and I can't seem to retain
line breaks.
Pasting it as is creates one long unbreakable line and
includes this code:
<div wrap="true" graphical-quote="true"
lang="x-western">
<pre wrap="">
Pasting it with Paste Special: Text Only. Text is pasted as
one continuous paragraph
Pasting it with Paste Special: Text with Structure . Same as
ordinary paste.
The workaround is to paste the email into Word first and then
copy it from there and paste it in in the normat fashiion. Every
paragraph is tagged with the <pre> code which needs to be
changed .
In Dreamweaver 7, the choice was to Paste as Text which
retained line breaks.
I don't understand how the change in version 8 is an
improvement or if I am missing something.
I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email reader which might be
part of the problem. Maybe everything is configured to work with
Outlook.

This is why I asked Apple to edit the entries as I showed above.
Of course, it would be useful to edit also the entry available in the iOS area.
Replace iWork for iOS by iWork (Keynote, Numbers, Pages) for iOS
or better add three entries :
Keynote for iOS
Numbers for iOS
Pages for iOS
Having four entries pointing to the same forum would not be perfect but at least it would be clear and would be a viable scheme during the time required by engineers to find a way to split the existing iWork for iOS forum in three ones.

Pasting text from word replaces Keynote styles

I get documents that are styled in Word that I have to convert to Keynote. Even though my text boxes are styled in the Master Slides, when I copy and paste text from word it comes in with all of word's formatting and disregard's Keynote's styling for that text box. I tried to convert the word docs to rtf or just plain text, but the text just imports without Keynote's styling applied to it. It would be very tedious to have to style each text box as I bring it in to Keynote. Does anyone have any suggestions to make the workflow less painful?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions, marc01.
I don't have Omni Outliner to test with, but that does sound like something that's worth looking into. Send feedback to Omni at their site and to Apple with this link.

Pasting text from other apps not always work

Is this a known problem or any way to avoid it? I usually receive emails with copy of text that was already checked for spelling errors, and when I try to copy the text from the email to AE and paste it into the text tool, it does not work 90% of the time, and if it works, it works only once, the next time I copy paste something it keeps always pasting the same old text. I noticed this on all the computers where I have AE installed.
Thanks
Victor

Just a quick update.
This problem has resurfaced AE CS6 (mac OS 10.8.x) this time.
The copy/paste into the search bar doesn't seem to work anymore.
I sent Aobde a note via their Bug/reports page - - (I'd suggest everyone do that.)
So far, my only working solution is to quit/restart AE. --
A shame for any 21st century software not to copy/paste formatted, or unformatted text.
(BTW - the copy/paste text from within AE comps/layers works fine, just not clipboard content from outside . . . I'm going to poke around at a few likely culprits and attempt to troubleshoot a solution for my needs, but I can say it's a different problem than my Oct. 2010 post above.)

How to create, place, format and paste the clipboard contents into a text frame

I am new to scripting and need help. I have an existing Indesign document. I need to be able to create a text frame on my current page, the width of my margins with the top of the text frame at the top margin and 1" in height, then format it to be 1-column, and then paste the clipboard contents into it and tag the text with a particular paragraph style. I am using Indesign CS4 on a mac, if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help.

May this will help you. It will create an anchored object with a text what you desired, with object style. You should create an object style before with the x and y co ordinates. You can choose either para style or character style.
var the_document = app.documents.item(0);
// Create a list of paragraph styles
var list_of_paragraph_styles = the_document.paragraphStyles.everyItem().name;
// Create a list of character styles
var list_of_character_styles = the_document.characterStyles.everyItem().name;

Problems copy & paste text from PDF to InDesign CS5

Hey guys
Today, I tried copying and pasting text from a PDF I received from my client, into a InDesign CS5 doc, and the text came out was just random numbers and punctuations.
I've tried exporting Word / RTF & TXT file from the PDF and yet they still come out random. I'm not sure if it's just how the PDF was made, or there is something wrong with my CS5.
I'm on Snow Leopard, CS5 Premium, Acrobat Pro 9 & also Acrobat Reader X.
Any ideas why?

It's the PDF.
Usually, you can copy text out of a PDF, but there is no guarantee *at all*. Older software used to take shortcuts to subset fonts: first character it encountered got coded as #1, the next as #2, etc. etc. If you do a search & replace of each of the nonsense characters, you'll slowly see the original text appearing (thst's not as simple as it sounds, though).
A similar "problem" is that sometimes spaces don't get copied (there is no need for a "Space Character" in a PDF), and that you cannot copy contiguous lines of text as a single paragraph. All of it is because a PDF is not intended nor designed to be re-used after creation.
If you really need this text and don't want to type it in, try to get hold of the original file.

Paste special...

I am an Excel user for many years. As I mentioned that I just started using Numbers today. One question is about Paste special in Excel "Paste ...". From there I can paste a text in csv format back to worksheet from a wizard, which helps me to walk through what delimiter such as , or tab being used in clipboard text.
Today I tried to copy a block of csv text from my web banking (when I tried to save my statements as csv, it displays statements in a block of csv page so I can select all and copy them) and paste them to Numbers. There are only two options available: "Paste" and "Paste and Match Style". I cannot find any way to get my text to a table in Numbers in right columns.
The alternative way I had to do is to save the text to a text file with csv extension and open it in Numbers. I am not sure if there is way in Numbers so that I can directly paste csv text to cells?
