Pasting text into tables CS5

I'm working on a calendar and I want to format one mini month grid with the set sizes for the date cells and then paste the grids for all the months into duplications of this grid. However, when I paste the new month in, it resets all the sizes of the cells to match the incoming table format rather than using the format of the table I'm pasting into.  As far as I've been able to tell, there is no way to set the sizes for the cells as a table or cell style. I dread having to actually edit each table separately to get them to be all the same size.  I've discovered if I convert the table I'm pasting into text and then copy and past the text with paste without formatting, it works, but there isn't the option to paste without formatting if I'm pasting from one table to another, so I end up with a lot of steps. Am I missing an easier way to do this?

I just tried two versions of Word and that was the missing clue. Word X (10.4.1) doesn't work. Word 2008 (12.1) does. Appleworks, which is also an old app, doesn't work either. Looks like the problem was a tag along to upgrading from OS 10.4 >> 10.6 and CS4 >> CS5 at the same time. Why does that not surprise me?
Also just sorted out the crashing problem. Turned off OpenGL and now it seems to work fine. Not sure why it worked before, maybe brush size or the combo of dynamics I was using. At least I'm back in biz.
Thanks for your help.

  • Pasting text into indesign CS5 causes constant crashing

    We have a problem with one of our computers and indesign CS5. When they paste text from any other program into indesign it crashes. It may be OK for 10 minutes or so but then crashes. This is a big job with lots of business cards and they need to copy and paste text from excel and then into indesign. She gets through 4 or 5 and then it crashes. We have deleted preferences a few times and tried pasting into text edit first but it always ends up crashing indesign. It happens when text is pasted from a pdf or word also.
    Any ideas?

    Not a very timely reply but, I was being vexed as well with copying from one InDesign document to another.  The original and the destination were both two color newsletters.  I would copy an entire page and switch to the destination document to paste it.  Unfortunately, once the Command-C was initiated, the swirling ball of death eventually resulted in a crash.  After three attempts and restarting my computer, I tried it again but, same result.
    Then, I copied only one element at a time (graphic, then a text box, grouped text and graphic...etc.)  Not until I came to a single Placed EPS graphic (Illustrator EPS) did it initiate the death spiral. (I'd previously deleted all unused colors just in case)
    I opened the offending file and noticed that a radial gradient contained a spot color and a CMYK mix (instead of a percentage of the same spot color).  That was all it appeared to be... so far.  A bit odd that THAT would hang such a powerful suite of software.
    I plan to try a full page copy/paste to see if that was indeed the problem.
    Computer Info: 2009 MAC Tower, 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8GB RAM, OS 10.6.8, CS6. (and I was completely sober)
    PS: I tried the full page copy/paste and, it worked without a hiccup.

  • Pasting text into InD CS5 crashes after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion over the weekend and since have problems with InDesign CS5 crashing when I paste text from one InD document to another.

    In-place upgrades are always a crapshoot. Try trashing the prefs (see Replace Your Preferences), but most likely you'll have to reinstall ID at the very least. YOu may have to do a clean install on the OS as well.

  • I can't paste text into info boxes anymore with the latest version of itunes

    Ever since I downloaded the latest version of itunes (on Windows 7), I can no longer paste text into the info boxes when I edit song information. I can’t paste by right-clicking or Ctrl+V, this is driving me crazy because I’m trying to add info on a Russian artist with Cyrillic letters and I can’t do it! I didn’t buy the song from itunes so it can’t be issues with Copyrighting although the same thing happens with songs from the store and every other song in my library. I can paste text into the lyrics section but that’s it. I restarted my computer after reinstalling the latest versions of itunes and Firefox today hoping it would fix my problem but it didn’t. Is this happening to anyone else? I hope someone can help me! Oh and it isn’t just with Russian, I tried to paste English info just to see if it was a problem with recognizing Cyrillic and still nothing pastes, the boxes just stay blank.
    Itunes is annoying me more than ever. With the constant updates you’d think they would be able to improve all bugs but once one problem is fixed another occurs and it’s so irritating because I couldn’t care less about how my library looks as long as everything is organized in a simple way and I can sync my ipod without spending forever on itunes re-editing stuff and readjusting to updated layout changes. Apple’s attempts at making things look “cool” isn’t worth the F-ing constant problems which matter more! Okay, rant over

    That would be Manually manage, not Manually syncing.
    Click the drop down arrow at top left the Show menu.
    Then iTunes menu View > Show sidebar.
    Select the iPod then you can select the Summary tab.

  • How to copy and paste text into email without HTML gibberish

    I've had trouble for some time now copying and pasting text into and out of yahoo emails. I can't just copy and paste text, I have to first transfer to Word for Mac and then paste into a yahoo email. Then I end up with what looks like three lines of HTML gibberish at the start of the pasted text each time. Isn't there a clean and direct way of copy and paste of text into and from emails in yahoo? No other email I work with has this problem, and the Safari browser doesn't give this same issue
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == some recent Firefox update, I think

    I have to agree with bmalmquist.  Need for Speed seems to work great on the Playbook.  I didn't buy the Playbook to play games though.  RIM needs to shift their focus from games to useful and productive apps.  The apps I need to use are either missing very important features, or are just completely missing.  It is somewhat disconcerting to see new apps appear in App World only to discover that the new apps are mostly games.  I'm seeing lots of apps that would help me waste time, but very few that will actually help me be more productive.

  • I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field(prefix only) while saving files.

    OS: WinXP sp3
    FF: 3.6.3
    I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field (prefix only) while saving files. example: File name is Pic123.jpg and I want to rename it ABC123.jpg and I have ABC loaded into the WinXPsp3 clipboard. When I highlight\right-click\delete "Pic" then attempt to paste the ABC, I get either no reaction, or upon multiple paste attempts, the ABC is appended to the end of the file, after the extension, as "Pic123.jpgABC". If I delete this unwanted suffix, or repeat the process several times, eventually I can delete the unwanted portion of the prefix and paste the desired text. Sometimes it works fine first try, but mostly it takes several tries. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 but the problem existed in whatever previous version I had too. This issue only occurs when using the delete/paste; I can always manually change the name by typing. Thank you for your help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Cannot paste text into a text layer in Photoshop

    Since a couple of days ago I cannot paste text into a photoshop text layer from any other source, like safari, word etc.
    I get an "popup error"-window in swedish (my language) saying something like "Could not complete the paste text command because the clipboard data was invalid or missing."
    Anyone having the same issue? Or maybe a fix on the problem? Of course i've tried restarting photoshop and also the computer. Running Mac OS X Yosemite and the latest Photoshop CC 2014.

  • Pasting content into table cell deletes existing content. Why?

    Pasting content into table cell deletes existing content. Why?

    I'm not sure why you would expect something different. If you put something into a cell, then that is the contents of the cell. If you want to preserve the existing contents when pasting additional content, you don't want to paste into the cell, you want to paste into its contents.
    Select the cell, then click again to put the insertion point into the contents, then Paste.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Paste text in table in a single row

    Hi,
    When I copy several paragraphs of text and paste it in a table, Pages automatically insert each paragraph in it's own row, adding rows as necessary. Most of the time, I don't want this and I have to merge the cells. Is there a way to paste text and have it appear in a single row, even if there is more than one paragraph?
    Thank you.

    It seems that you didn't do the task correctly/
    What you describe is what I get when I click once on a cell.
    In this case, *_only the cell is selected_*.
    If I double-click the cell, the selection is no longer the cell but its contents.
    In this case, when I paste, I get that :

  • Cannot copy and paste text into Photoshop CS6
