Pasting tables from Word into Dreamweaver MX

Hi everybody,
Did a search for this but didn't find anything.
I used to be able to paste tables (or individual rows and
columns) from Word XP directly into a Dreamweaver MX table.
Yesterday, I had to reinstall Dreamweaver MX due to a computer
crash and now can no longer paste in Word tables.
The rows or columns being copied simply delete the
Dreamweaver table and get pasted as text only.
Am i missing something like a patch or an update? Is there an
option or preference that can be set?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks speculumcm.
However, Dreamweaver MX does not have a Copy/Paste option
under Preferences.
I have noticed that after the Word table gets pasted as text
(deleting the Dreamweaver table in the process) the Edit option to
undo says "Undo Paste as Text" and not "Undo Paste".
It is possible that somewhere there is a 'Paste' option set
to 'Paste as Text' and not 'Paste the Object'?

Problem pasting text from Word into Mail

When I compose text in Word and paste it into Mail, paragraphs are separated by spaces that weren't in the original Word document and I have to do a lot of work to get rid of them. If I compose or paste the text in TextEdit and then copy the message into Mail, there's no problem. Is there a fix so I can just compose my messages in Word and then transfer them into Mail?

It happens when I use past and match style as well. Any other ideas?
Last month I started a message thread on what may be the same issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11083007
There's a mention there of the Mail menu option Format -> Make Plain Text, which may help you.
I filed a "bug report" with Apple (http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html) about quirky spacing in Mail messages and the lack of any editing feature to control such spacing. Maybe you'd want to do the same.

Pasting tables from Acrobat into CS2Indd

I have a number of detailed tables as pdfs only and would like to know how - if at all - I can retain the columns and rows when I copy and paste into Indd. At the moment - all it does is come in in a big block of text. Any clues?!
Mark

You should ask this question in the InDesign forum. There will be more table experts there. It's doubtful there is enough information in the PDF to do that but there might be a workaround.

Pasting text from Word into Apex Textarea

Hi Folks,
I have a client that wanted to transform their Word forms (something like customer survey) into Apex screens.. every thing went great but they noticed that when they try to copy text from the Word forms into Apex textareas some characters will show as an up-side-down question mark. Some characters are the apostrophe , consecutive dots (...) and so on. I don't know what is the best way to handle that, I am thinking about writing a function that escapes those characters for a passed text and add up decoding to it every time users encounter a news bad character..but maybe somebody has a better idea...
Thanks,
Sam

We had the same problem. If you can't update the character set, which is usually a big deal, then you can always use javascript to change the textfield or text area before the user clicks save. We have onchange events on all of our items to catch when an item saves and sets a flag to do an autosave when the click somewhere else in the application. You could use a similar function to translate the characters on the browser before they hit the database.
If you're going to be searching on this data, you probably don't want to store the special characters anyway. They will have to type in the characters to search and some of the MS characters can be misleading and cause them to not find what they're looking for.
The array configured_values is a string array where the first index is the bad character and the second index is the value to replace it with
function madeChange(e)
{ document.getElementById('P0_MADE_CHANGE').value='TRUE';
     if(e)
          var string = e.value;
     //If it is a text-area or a text-field
       if(isNaN(string))
     { var aux;
          for(i=0; i<(configured_values.length)-2;i=i+2)
          aux= eval('/' + String.fromCharCode(configured_values) + '/' + 'g');
string=string.replace(aux,configured_values[i+1]);
     e.value=string;

Cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail

I cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail. Neither from using the keyboard shortcuts, or using the Menu function. I can copy and paste from other applications into Mail- but for some reason, text copied from a Word document (both in .txt and .doc formats) will not paste into an open email. Anyone else have this issue? It's a new issue. I used to be able to do this easily.

I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

Hi,
I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
Thanks,
AM

Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

Can I paste football table from Safari into Numbers by Dec 23?

*Can I paste a table from Safari into Numbers - and get a table?*
Whether I use Paste or Paste Match Style (?) it just goes into one column, which is useless. Same result in Pages. But in the Appleshop demo I copied the table from Safari into Excel and it created a proper table.
Apologies if this is already answered. I am new to Mac and to iWorks. I've only got the evaluation version of iWorks v1.0. I was going to get the full version by Xmas - but this is a real showstopper. If I can't use the spreadsheet on web tables (price comparisons, stocks, etc etc) then iWorks won't do.
If it can't do this, are there any other solutions out there? Thanks.
*_Problem Description_*
1. In Safari select and Copy a table (here's the football league table http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/table/default.stm)
2. Paste the table into Numbers - as a table (not as a single column)
3. sort the table on descending GD

Hello
Some times ago, I posted a script for this kind of problem but I just discover (with your table) that I forgot a case.
Here is a revised version which I will put soon on my iDisk.
-- [SCRIPT Tables2Numbers_v5]
property nbCols : "3"
property english : true (* true= English messages, false = Messages Français *)
property msg1 : ""
property list1 : {}
if msg1 = "" then my prepareMessages()
set theDatas to (get the clipboard as text)
if theDatas does not contain tab then
set nbCols to text returned of (display dialog msg1 default answer nbCols)
set nbCols to nbCols as integer
set my list1 to paragraphs of theDatas
set nb to count of my list1
set nbRows to nb div nbCols
set newDatas to ""
repeat with i from 1 to nbRows
repeat with j from 1 to nbCols - 1
set newDatas to newDatas & (item (j + (i - 1) * nbCols) of my list1) & tab
end repeat
set newDatas to newDatas & (item (j + 1 + (i - 1) * nbCols) of my list1) & return
end repeat
set the clipboard to newDatas
else
set the clipboard to theDatas
end if
set my list1 to {}
on prepareMessages()
if english is true then
set msg1 to "How many columns ?"
else
set msg1 to "Nombre de colonnes ?"
end if
end prepareMessages
-- [/SCRIPT]
If you grab your table in the clipboard after counting the columns (here 16)
run the script
After that you may paste the table in Numbers (or in AppleWorks)

Importing Tables from Word Documents

I have a new job where the majority of my colleagues are PC users and we must work on common documents. I have no problem saving documents as a word file and opening word documents. But I have had some issues with Tables coming from a word document. I looked on the forum and learned about inline tables but I have been unable to take a table from a .doc file and change it to an inline table. Basically when the page ends, the table stops, even when there is more text. It is making it really frustrating for work as I have been copying and pasting the text from the table into a new document to edit it and then replacing the new text with the old. Can anyone help me figure out how to see the text in tables from word documents??
Thanks,
Amber

It would be more efficient to use the true Office or one of the free clones: openOffice & neoOffice.

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

Boris title3D crashing when pasting Japanese from Word

Doing Japanese subtitling for a feature doc.
Not sure if this holds true for all versions of Word, but figured this might save someone a lot of pain.
When I try and copy Japanese text from Word into Boris Title3D, FCP consistently crashes. The solution, open up the doc in TextEdit and copy from there.
I am using a relatively old version of Word. May not hold true for later versions.

Place, don’t paste.

How do i import a table from excel into dw8?

I want to import a table from excel into a table in dw8, i
just want the data inside the excel table to be imported to the
table in dw8.
The tables has the same stracture - number of rows and
columns.
is it possible?
btw special paste is no good, since it copies the stracture
of the table from excel which contains <td height="17">,
which is not good coding - td doesn't support the height
option.

table without special paste:
<table width="90%" border="1">

<th scope="col"> </th>
<th scope="col"> </th>
<th scope="col"> </th>

Cp5 - Pasting text from Notepad into a text box

I posted this message in the "Getting Started Forum" but there isn't a whole lot of activity in that forum.
Hopefully someone can help me because I have a lot of text to paste into a lesson.
This seems like such an elementary requirement and I am almost certain that I have done this before but...for some reason, copying text from Windows Notepad into a Captivate 5 text box just isn't working today.
Basically, the paste option is simply not available!
Yes, I can copy paste into other applications; Captivate is the only application that is blocking this Windows function.
If I insert a Text Entry Box, I am able to paste single lines of text (from Notepad) but obviously this isn't going to work as a text box.
Is this by design or has something gone haywire?
Question, how do I get pre-written text (i.e. from Notepad) into Captivate?
Thanks

Shawn,
I have had that happen to me too. I am always copying and pasting into my Captivate projects. But sometimes the paste option is just not available. What I have done, is to save everything and close the application and start it again. Seems there's a lot of little irritating things like that with Captivate, that's corrected with a restart. Hope this helps!

Save document from word into sharepoint library does not work !

Hi,
I'm trying to resolve a problem that i have with word and my sharepoint website.
Some of my users have to open and RDP session on a windows 2008 server and work from there. They open their session with their credential and they do everything they do in local on sharepoint using IE.
BUT, we have always and ever had an issue on this server as they c'ant save a document (Word or Excel) from office. They have to upload it from sharepoint uising IE. In example, i want to save my document from word into the sharepoint document library I have
this error message :
"Windows doesn't find (http://intranet.sharepoint.com/DocumentLibrary/). Check and retry".
If I open my sharepoint site and i upload the document it works perfectly. Also if I open and edit an existing document from any library it will work with word. The problem seems to happen when i want to browse sharepoint from word for saving files...
As this server is a windows 2008, IE version is 9 and the office version is the same as on all computers (Office 2010 SP2 32Bit)
Any help would by appreciated
Regards

Hi,
I understand you encountered the issue when save document from Office client application to SharePoint 2010 site.
Is there any Proxy settings in networking side? Please bring up IE > Internet options > Connections > Lan settings. If so, please uncheck options in Proxy server and test the issue again.
If you have deploy GPO to add SharePoint site into Trusted sites, please check if there is any other GP associated with trusted sites that might affect the issue. You could also remove it from Trusted sites via IE options and test the issue again.
In addition, please provide more error message to help narrow down the issue, you could locate error information in Event log at least.
