Pasting text problems

Hi, I'm trying to paste some MS WORD text into dreamweaver.
It's a biograpy sort of document. It had some resume type
formatting earlier with boxes. I told the creator of the document
to remove this formatting and resend with less formatting (bold,
italics, underlines, different font sizes). We tried a version with
and without bullets. I tried a test document with bullets and when
I paste it in it works fine. However, this biography document
doesn't seem to "forget" the editing. No matter how we revise it
the document keeps adding numbers 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. ... along the left
side of the document when pasted into the view window of
DreamWeaver. Is there another way besides doing it from scratch or
editing the document to correct the errors? This will be tedious
work if it has to be corrected or redone.
Is there a way you can clean the document of relics that
interfere with the interpretation or will I have to edit this to
remove all the errors? Thanks.

What paste method have you attempted? DW has both Edit >
Paste and Edit >
Paste Special... With the latter, you can choose what you
want to paste in.
If you're courageous enough to paste just text only, there's
an option. I
believe that works fine with MS Word, but the other ones may
not.
But you may manage to save yourself some work if you paste
into Notepad
first, as Bregent suggested.

  • I tried to paste text from another site into my Firebox document, but it says "Firefox does not support Copy & Paste". How do I enable clipboard? I never had problems like this on Firefox before...why?

    I tried to paste text I copied from another site into my Notepad++ (as I've always done in the past with no problem).
    But today for the 1st time, I got a message when I tried to paste the text "Firefox does not support Copy & Paste". What?
    What happened to the clipboard?

    That's a security feature in Firefox.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • Steps to troubleshoot and get past common problems with Audition

    When you encounter a problem with Audition, the following steps are often useful for getting past the problem and/or determining the cause of the problem:
    1.  Hold down SHIFT while you launch Audition
         This overrides the preference files and launches Audition using the default settings.
    2.  Manually rename or delete the preferences folder
         Step 1 only overrides certain preference files, while others such as Workspace preference files, may be the cause of the problem.  Depending on your OS, locate the "5.0" folder in the location below and rename it or delete it.
         Windows XP: C:\Document and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\5.0\
         Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0\ *
         Mac OS X: ~\Library\Preferences\Adobe\Audition\5.0\ **
              * "AppData" may be a hidden folder.  You can type it into the location bar, or enable "Show Hidden Files" in Windows.
              ** This is your user-level Library folder, not the system-level tree.
    3. Check your Audition Log.txt file
         To enable a log file with CS 5.5, you must create an empty file in your preferences folder called "Audition Log.txt" using notepad, text edit, or any other editor.  After you create this file, launch Audition and if it fails, open and/or share the log file for more specific information about what's happening.
    4. Check the Operating System console or error log
         Both OS X and Windows can track application errors, and if the problem is occurring outside of the application code - a driver conflict, for example - then the OS error report may be more informative than what we can get from the application.
         OS X: launch /Applications/Utilities/Console.app   Clear the view, then launch Audition and note any error messages that appear.
         Windows: launch Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application then launch Audition and note any error messages that appear.
    5. Re-install Audition
         If at this point, nothing has resolved the issue or the error logs are inconclusive, it's a good time to uninstall Audition, reboot, and reinstall Audition.
    6. Obtain the full crash dump and send it to the Adobe team
         So you've walked through all the above steps, you've disconnected any external hardware interfaces to rule out any device or driver conflicts, and you've exhausted the basic troubleshooting steps.  Visit http://forums.adobe.com/thread/900619 and follow the steps for your OS that Charles has documented to best obtain a full crash memory dump for Audition, and send that to [email protected] with a description of the problem and the steps you've taken, and we'll take a look. 

    Firstly yes these are common problems and secondly hopefully they will be fixed with updated software 2.1 which is due for release this coming Firday!

  • 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 cut and paste text in any app, between apps, drag drop...

    OSX 10.7.2:   iMAC 24" FLAT-PANEL/ 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/ 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    I have owned and used my iMac since late in 2008 (although mine is an early 2008 model).
    Starting this evening (10 December 2011) I can't copy/paste text from the clipboard any longer. For example, I can't select and copy a URL then paste it in another tab of the same browser. Nothing is pasted.
    Dragging and dropping text from one browser window to another also doesn't work, nor from one browser URL bar to another browser bar.
    In sum, the most BASIC COPY/PASTING TEXT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL ANY LONGER!!!  Drag and drop ditto. Most frustrating!
    Anybody else had this problem suddenly come upon them???  Suggestions, advice.
    Thanks.  Tomeg
    ====================
    p.s. btw restarting the mac or shutting down booting up doesn't get rid of the problem. Next I will try unplugging everything then reconnecting.
    Haven't tried resetting PRAM yet. That will be my next and last resort.

    Oops! I discovered yesterday that *the real problem with my keyboard was (is) a diagonal "row" of keys isn't functioning*!  Unfortunately, the four keys are 'c, d, e, and 3/#'; hence, losing the '⌘-c' or "copy" function.
    Still, it helped some that I could employ the right-click with my wireless "magic mouse."
    Fortunately I remembered this morning that I had a perfectly good UBS keyboard with keypad from my previous Mac.
    A good learning experience! Thank you all for your help!!!   (:

  • 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 do I cut and paste text from a Word doc to my yahoo email?

    I am suddenly unable to cut and paste from a Word document into the body of my yahoo email. I never had this problem before, but recently trying to paste my resume into the site 4entertainmentjobs.com, I ran into trouble. I followed your instructions and found my profile folder, but there was no user.js file in there. I created one in text edit and replaced mozilla.org with 4entertainmentjobs.com, but it still didn't work. Today I tried to go back and put Mozilla back in, but I still cannot get it to work. Then I downloaded your add-on "allow clipboard". That did not work either.

  • Preview - Cannot copy and paste text from pdf

    Hi there ...
    I usually have no problem copying and pasting text from a pdf using Preview ...
    However .. I recently received a pdf ... and there is no way it will highlight the text to copy ...
    The older pdf's are not affected ...
    I did a get info on the pdf ... it's not locked ... and it was made by Adobe In Design CS2
    I tried opening it with Adobe Reader 9 ...... but still no luck
    IN my search .. I noticed one other person had the same problem ... but he didn't get any responses..
    Thanks for any info ....

    If it's behind something else then you can open it in Illustrator and select the specific object you want. If it's rasterized then no.
    If this is a document you can share with the world then I'm sure we could tell you what specifically is going on if you posted it here.

  • I can't paste text from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.

    Hello everyone,
    Since a few days I'm not able to paste texts from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.
    I never have problems with Photoshop CC before.
    I have the new iOS Yosemite installed in my macbook.
    It's really frustrating, can someone help please?

    I have basically the same setup, except on a Mac Mini. I am unable to reproduce your problem. Double check that you are copying the original text in the first place, and then make sure you are pasting into a text layer as you cannot paste into a regular Photoshop layer -- nothing will happen. Create a text layer by clicking on a regular layer with the text tool, the T in the tool box. The new layer will show up in the layers panel identified by the first line of the text.

  • Can't paste text in a Web-started application

    I am facing a problem with a limited (but growing) number of users: they are
    unable to paste a block of text into a text field. Apparently the problem
    occurs in Windows 7 only that seems to isolate the Web-start application into
    a sandbox. What is strange is that the application is signed and requires
    full access to resources. Since I am not a windows 7 user I can't reproduce
    the problem, also with other Windows 7 users things work fine, what's curious.
    I can't determine if the program would also be trapped in other I/O operation
    cause registration (for which paste is needed) is first step and user can't
    proceed any more.
    Did anybody else have incur in the same problem. Do anybody know what user
    shall do to unlock the paste operation?
    I am sure there is some solution otherwise any RIA application deployed with
    Java Web Start would be excluded by all future (Windows 7) market, but I don't
    know what to tell my user to proceed.
    Thanks very much to whoever can help.

    Andrew,
    I think I spotted the problem, but unhappily got no confirmation from user (despite my kind request to perform a new test with modified code). The issue is probably not related Windows 7 but to the kind of mail program is used to "cut" the text. Some mail program encode it as plain text, others as rich text and still others (like Firebird I use) as html. I perceived this using your code and I was surprised (I was expecting text/plain). This explains why only certain users report the problem.
    What is strange is that Java, under JNLP is unable to convert text/xxxx to text/plain when pasting in a text component, as it does if desktop-started. I am already sure it is text/xxxx because in a previous situation I asked user to perform a paste into a notepad and it worked fine, it doesn't paste only into a JText component. Probably when Java is not webstart-launched it uses native conversion and when web-started it considers MIME type. If not plain text returns an empty string.
    I basically used your code, but considered only first MIME type and, if not text, I reject paste and ask user to go though a plain text editor. In my case it does not make sense trying to manage HTML or RTF: that would be an overkill.
    Let's wait and see next case, anyway the inability to paste text/xxxx into text components this is a considerable limitation of web-started programs.
    The good news I discovered during tests is that (apart new logo), deployment has really improved, at least timestamp is correctly handled. Until few months ago I had to start the application 2-3 times to have jnlp perceived that some jar were updated.

  • 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.)
    Cheers

  • Lines around type and other type/text problems in Dreamweaver CS3

    Dear Dreamweaver forum:
    Good news/bad news,
    First the good news…
    My thanks to a forum member by the name of Mylenium. With Mylenium's advice I have improved my halo problem by including a black background when I save type in Illustrator CS3 as part of importing it into Dreamweaver CS3.
    However, the bad news, is that I’m still having type and text problems.
    Problem area 1
    Now, in Dreamweaver, I’m getting lines appearing around the type.
    I am dragging and dropping the .gif type file into a Dreamweaver Div Tag.
    How do I get rid of the lines around the type so that they do not show up in the Safari browser?
    (Please see below)
    Problem area 2
    I cannot drag and drop text from a Word .doc file into a Dreamweaver div tag.
    I also cannot copy and paste Word .doc text into a div tag.
    How do I include text on my webpage without having to manually type it in?
    (Please see below)
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 
    From within Dreamweaver CS3, how do I place text? Dragging and droppign the file does not work.
    This is screenshot of what I see so far when I use Safari to test what I have made so far in Dreamweaver CS3.
    I get lines around type.........not usually a good thing.........How do I fix it?
    The way I created the portfolio type in IllustratorCS3 using the File > Save for Web and Devices. I then imported the resulting .gif file so that it was within my root folder within the Files panel within Dreamweaver CS3.
    Am I doing this right?

    Hi
    The problems you are experiencing with the image text, (why are you using image text, these days?) is probably cause by the image having a border when created in illustrator, or the image size being set incorrectly.
    As for the word text if you are using windows, see http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ce6.html.
    On the mac it is a little more complex, save your word doc as html, then apply the 'clean up word html files', (see - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ef5.html) copy the relevant text and mark-up from the word html file, and paste into your html document in the required position.
