Pasted text is random size

I'm cutting 48px text from within photoshop CC 2014 and then pasting it into a text box within the same document which already has 48px text in it . For some unknown reason the text is pasted at 199.98px....
Any solution to this?

How copy and past works on windows depends on what is active at the time of operation. Copy will copy text or it will copy pixels. Past works the same way. Like I can copy text selected in text tool edit mode into the clipboard and paste it into the text tool text box. Here I create a simple text layer Impact Text font set to 15 pt and copied the text from the text tool into the clipboard. I then targeted the background layer. Change the text tool to use Times Roman New Regular 36 pt Drew out a text box and did a paste. Impact text came is at Impact text at 15 pt Photoshop change the text tools settings. Again I targeted the background changed text tool font to Times Roman New regular 36 pt. drew out a text box. I opened notepad and entered text in Tahoma font at 12 pt highlighted the text and copied it to the clipboard and pasted it into the text tools text bos in cam in Time Roman Bew regular 36pt.

Problem with copying and pasting text blocks in Fireworks CS5

Until recently when I copied and pasted a text block in Fireworks CS5, the block would retain all formatting applied to the copied text block, font, size, color, etc. Now, the pasted block reverts to some default setting. Oddly, if I copy multiple text blocks, the formatting is retained as expected, but not if I copy a single text block. I cannot find a preference that affects this, and I cannot figure out what might have changed. The current behaviour is definitely not desired, and is dramatically affecting my efficiency. Anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas how to correct this? Thanks.

Sure, thanks for replying so quickly. My workflow is simple. My problem is limited to copying and pasting within Fireworks. I typically select an entire block with the main selection arrow but I sometimes use this one too depending on the context. I usually just use the keyboard CTRL-C then CTRL-V to paste. Previously (and I have been using FW for years, it's always been the same) it would paste an identical text block directly over the top of the copied one, and it looked exactly the same, same font, same color, etc. Now, it pastes a new block in the center of the document and all the formatting has reverted to what I guess is the default, in this case Myriad Pro 12pt. The behavior is the same no matter which arrow I use to select the text block. I tried Edit>Copy and Edit>Paste, the effect was the same. The Duplicate function seems to work as desired, but I had never noticed or tried that command before reading your post. Using the keyboard to copy/paste is such an ingrained habit I'd much prefer to continue using it as I always have instead of trying to retrain myself. (I'm old, retraining is hard!)
(Selected block)
(pasted block)
Most often I copy and paste directly on the canvas, but occasionally will do it within the layers panel. Both now have the same undesired effect. I also tried creating a new document to see if it was a corruption in my current file, but the issue persisted to the new document as well.
Thanks.

Portfolio pdf- why is text in different sizes on each page of pdf?

Even though i have saved my images with text (always font size 12) as the same size (eg. 10in x 10in at 100ppi), each time i save the images as a pdf the pdf then has all different size text from image to image- a complete mess as a portfolio.
Also when i then changed the size of the image and saved it as a copy, both images and text stay the same size! though both the ppi and scale differ in each images....
How do i change this? any tips appreciated!

You can't write directly in PDF from Output Module, only add a header or
footer text but that will repeat itself each page.
You could try so in an app like Word or if you have Pages or other design
application it would be possible to make your own layout and text and from
there save as PDF.
You can also try in PS, just create a template frame (new file) big enough
to paste the images in and with space around including more at the bottom
where you add the text you want. On the frame put a text layer and the file
layer for the image by either drag and drop or copy paste. Resize the image
till it fits in the frame
You cans resize the image on the template layer to fit in the frame as you
like and save as new files.
Now you have same sized frame with same ppi and font size.
With this files selected in Bridge in the order you want choose Output
Module with option for paper size, landscape or portrait, background color.
Choose 1 column and 1 row including auto space, deselect filename and
extension and also deselect header and footer if thy are not so already
(unless you want some text and page numbers)
I created the images in photoshop and then i use the bridge adobe output
module- the pdf is a multiple page document with one image per page which
has text written beneath the image -
as in the image is saved with a frame with title/text.
Is there a way of writing individual text directly onto each pdf page
instead of the image? perhaps this will solve the issue of differing text
sizes....?

Unable to copy & paste text in Godaddy email

I've don't use Safari, but wasn't able to recreate the issue just now. But in Firefox, my primary browser, this has become a major issue over the last few months with using Godaddy webmail. It wasn't as noticeable an issue at first, but now it's with every email. I've also deleted all cookies and cache files in my history.
I frequently use templates to compose new emails to clients. If I try to copy text from a template to paste into an email, none or only part of the text will actually paste. If I try to paste the text again, the same thing happens.
Sometimes, if I try to paste text, a big white space will appear with only part of the text. Other times the text will copy in a completely random spot in the email, such as the very top or bottom.
I've found that there are sometimes dead zones in the Compose Email window, and if I can space far enough away from that a bad spot, it'll then allow ALL the text I've copied to be pasted correctly. I will then try and delete all the extra space. Sometimes this works, other times it will then also delete the pasted text. This then seems to be some kind of formatting issue, but the Goddady Browser Tool says that there aren't any compatibility issues with the Firefox.
This process is now doubling and tripling the time it takes to compose emails that I already have templates created for. Please help!!

I've tried that also (that's mainly how I cut and paste), and it still happens. When I called godaddy and explained that it looked like a formatting issue, the rep said he'd never heard of this being an issue on their end.
I then read online that others had similar issues using godaddy webmail with firefox.
I've switched to safari for now, but I'd love to still be able to email from firefox.

Problems copying and pasting text on Ipad

since updating to iOS 8, when I use the Touch and hold copy function to copy text, it sometimes pastes the correct text and sometimes pastes text that I had copied a long time ago.
For example, I touch and hold some text until the black "copy" option appears, I copy an address from eg. Mail and paste it into Maps and it might work, but when I then copy a different text like a name and paste it, it will paste the address from before.
It seems to be completely random regardless of which apps I am copying from or pasting to. Any answers would be appreciated!

Yep, it's a feature that Apple announced called "Intelligent Text Selection". It's supposed to make it easier to copy columns of paragraphs of text from a multi-column document and keep the paragraphs in the right order when pasted into a new document.
It works perfectly if you actually have a newsletter or other multi-column document and want the paragraphs to stay in order. You are seeing an unintended result. The new "Advanced Artificial Intelligence" is not properly analyzing your document.
Intelligent text selection has been added in Preview. This has to do with the app's ability to select text in PDFs. In the current version of Mac OS X, selecting text in PDFs is not always logical. For example, if you have three text columns and just need to select the text in one of them, you may not be able to do it. "Advanced artificial intelligence" included with Snow Leopard "analyzes each PDF document to understand the structure of its words, paragraphs, columns, and visual layout and create a map of the document’s organization," Apple reveals. "Preview uses this information to help you accurately target the text you want to copy and paste, even if the text is in columns."
It would be nice to be able to turn this 'feature' off:

Is there a way to copy/paste text in Photoshop without keeping formatting?

Hello,
Is there a way to copy/paste text in Photoshop without keeping formatting (font, size, color, etc)?
I found this feature very annoying.
Is there a way to turn it off?
Thanks.

You can use this simple workariound:
copy the desired text and paste it in a simple text editor app like notepad (win) or textedit (mac).
Then copy this unformatted text and paste it in photohop.

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.

Copying and pasting text inserts

Hi all,
When creating certain projects, I like to use the same font size, colour, style etc throughout the whole project. So I would love to be able to copy a text insert and then paste it many times into other parts of the project, thereby only having to change the text content. At the moment I can't seem to be able to do this and its a bit frustrating having to set up each text insert from scratch every time.
Years ago I used an old Windows-based video editing package called 'Arcsoft'. It is light years behind iMovie in so many respects but it did allow you to copy and paste text inserts which was really helpful.
Can anyone advise me? Is there something I am missing?
Thanks, Guy

Issue with pasting text when saving for web and resizing

This seems to be a very specific problem in PS CC 14.2.1 Mac.
I have text in the clipboard.
I go "SAVE FOR WEB" then "SAVE . . ."
I can then paste my name into the "Save As" name dialog.
BUT
If I I go "SAVE FOR WEB" then change the size of the file in the Image Size Box before I "SAVE . . ." I can no longer paste text in the naming dialog box.
I haven't tried this for every permutation in the Save For Web dialog, but saving optimized as JPEG is what I'm having trouble with.
I believe this is a bug.

What might be happening is after you change the image size in the save for web dialog, one of the size fields is still highlighted, so when you paste
in the save as dialog, the name is actually being pasted in one of the size fields in the main save for web dialog.
After you change the size in the save for web dialog press the enter/return key and then see if pasting into the name field of the save dialog in save for web works.

Copy/Paste text between Photoshop & illustrator CC not keeping formatting

Hi, before when I copied text over from photoshop to illustrator it kept the text formatting. For example the font, font size, color.
Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost and everything is placed as whatever the current AI text setting is.
HOWEVER, pasting from AI to PS WORKS as it should. All font/text formatting is maintained.
Is this a bug or is there a setting for this that I just never knew about?

Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost
Seems to work for me on Photoshop 14.0 and Mac OS 10.8.4.

Anchor tag error, also copy and pasting text comes up "null"

After the recent update I am receiving anchor tag errors telling me to start with an alphabetic letter, which I was. Also no longer lets me copy and paste text onto a page, instead it says "null". Any ideas on a fix ?

I don't see a closing </body> tag in your code. There's an opening tag, but no closing tag, hence unbalanced.

Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

Pasting text into a text layer in Photoshop CC 2014

I've been playing around around with Photoshop CC 2014 HTML5/Javascript extensions (CEP5) for a while now and I came across a problem I couldn't solve: how to paste text in an existing text layer when the user is editing the text? Using evalScript and app.activeDocument.paste(); works fine when pasting copied pixels as a new layer, but if the user is on a text layer editing the text (and I want the extension to paste text there), it throws an evalScript error.
Am I doing something terribly wrong or what? The next thing I thought was to invoke paste event and try it that way.

I only see the normal texture filtering. Seems like you have a fundamental misunderstanding here about how 3D works - "pixel perfect" has no meaning for 3D textures since UV space is parametric and has by itself in theory infinite resolution, so any texture will be fit into this range and inevitably a single pixel in the texture can cover more than a pixel on screen or more than a square milimeter on a 3D object. If you want "sharp" textures, you increase the texture resolution, which, if you realyl want that pixely look would be doen using the nearest neighbor method. Regardless, once you zoom in at some point you will see fuzzy edges/ pixels again. It's in the nature of the thing.

ID CS4 slow after pasting text from MS Word

Each time I paste text from a Word document into my ID CS4 document, ID begins to run very slowly. I can't even type properly. Has anyone else seen this?
I have fixed this problem by copying all the text and pasting in the a new document (I thought the document was possibly corrupted). This fixed the problem, but it has happened multiple times now. Much of my information comes from engineers' word documents, so this is not convenient.

The best I can tell, it is related to the cross references, and that it happened after pasting was coincedental. It could have been that pasting made a cross referenced section move to another page, so it was trying to update.
The cross references are a little buggy:
EVERY time I create a cross ref from the cross ref menu (in the cross ref window), ID CS4 (with all patches) crashes. If I create them from the Text menu (at the top), it doesn't crash.
If you have a large number of cross refs in a doc, it becomes slow.
When slowness occurs, I have found that updating the cross refs and then resolving all errors in the cross ref window usually clears it up.

I can't seem to cut and paste text into the community message form?

It seems I can't paste text data into this field. Can you help?

Win 7, explorer. Cut and paste from any text source (Word, Notepad, Explorer) has the same result. As an example, In this form window I cannot paste. But, If I open a new discussion, toggle the HTML button, I can paste. . For some reason the reply form does not have the HTML button. So, it might be a Java/browser thing - something is disabled.....
I'll try Chrome and see if the same thing happens.
I can cobble around it, but I've never seen this in any other HTML form before...
