Pasting text that was copied from microsoft word 2008

In dreamweaver CS3, if I want to paste text that I have
copied from Microsoft Word 2008, i have to paste it in entourage,
copy that and THEN I can paste in dreamweaver. I can't paste
directly in Dreamweaver from word. is there an extension that will
cut out this extra step?
Thanks much,
Page

I just copied two paragraphs of text from Word 2008, and
pasted it into DW's
Design view. No tables.
What is it you are copying?

  • Copying from microsoft word into my application

    I am copying from microsoft word into my application..
    and them on submit, i am calling a procedure i get the following error
    Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested
    i think its down to special characters used.. like apostrophe is different in word then normal.. anyone got solution for this error not to occur?

    74 questions, 72 unresolved.
    And this one: sadly we are not looking over your shoulder, so we don't know what 'copying' means, which version of Word, which 4-digit version of the database, and which SQL statement fails.

  • Live links in PDFs generated from Microsoft Word 2008?

    A couple of years ago, I was informed that my live links (bookmarks, indexmarks, etc.) in documents generated by Microsoft Word 2004 for the Macintosh did not become PDF live links in Acrobat Standard 7 because the Mac version from Microsoft Word 2004 didn't use the necessary hooks (
    i "APIs"
    or something like that) even though the Windows version did.
    Now that MS Word/MS Office 2008 for the Mac is coming out, will we be able to generate PDFs with such live links.
    Any input will be most appreciated.
    Acrobat Standard 7.0.9. Tiger 10.4.11. Dual bootable, DP MDD 1.25GHz G4 (2004), maxed out at 2GB of RAM, both Spotlight and Dashboard disabled, Photoshop primary scratch disk on dedicated 160GB internal drive, at least 100GB available on each of the four internal drives, up to 300GB on some. Counting external FW drives just over 1TB of drive space available. nVidia GeForce 7800 GS 425MHz 256 MB graphics display card. Processor napping enabled through CHUD 3.5.2.

    While this does not answer the problem of live links. (You can create them Manually, they just are not generated direct from Office Mac).
    The answer to the other question of the little annoying PDFMaker Menu (that never really worked correctly for me (took 5 minutes just to generate a 108K PDF).
    Because MicroSoft took out VBA Support on Mac side That rendered the PDFMaker menu useless because it uses VBA to work.
    So what they have done in Word 2008 is actually put it as Translator choice on the save menu. They now directly can save Word Files directly as PDF files. once you have created your file and saved it. Then go again to *Save As....* , when menu open scroll mouse down until you run across the choice PDF. select that and save. not only is it easier a 108K document can be saved in about 15 seconds or less not the old 5 minutes going through PDFMaker.
    One of PDFMaker's failings was that each step of conversion it called up Distiller which first created a .PS file. Then it checked the file. Then created the PDF file. Then checked the file again before actually writing the PDF File. Then only after checking the written PDF, would it delete the invisible PS file. Finally the PDF file was created. Naturally with all the check steps if you have a very large file could take ages.
    With word's new feature (2008) you can generate a PDF at blinding speeds.

  • Copying from Microsoft Word is a total mess.  Possible to preserve formatting?

    What a disappointment.   I've got many pages all done up in MS Word 2007 and when I copy and paste it, its all centered, instead of just the top few lines like in MS Word.  Is there a way of making Dreamweaver read Word documents without making such a mess of them in the transfer process?  This is really astounding considering Word is the most commonly used word processor in the world I would think. If Dreamweaver can't read the most commonly used processor's output properly, what does it say about the designers?  Or perhaps I have a setting that is incorrect?  Hope so.

    I agree 1000% (Yes, 1000%) with Nancy. But I'll go one further. DO NOT copy Word text into design view in DW if you want efficient web pages.
    Word adds so much "conditional formatting" and inline styles that what should be a 3kb page ends up around 13-16kb or larger depending on just how much Word text you've copied and pasted.
    Word is a word processor, Dreamweaver is an HTML editor. Two similar but different beasts. Use CSS to set things like headings, bylines and paragraph indents. If you don't know how to do those basic things in CSS, you need to stop right now and learn them or you will find that web design is a lot harder than you think it is.  This attempt at pasting a Word document into a window and expecting it to magicallly "become a web page" tells me you're just starting at web design. Every chef started as a cook. You need to learn at least how to walk before you take off running.
    Check altweb (Nancy's site) and look up David Powers. They will both give you some very necessary information and advice on HTML and CSS BEFORE you endeavor to be a web designer.

  • Problem Printing from Microsoft Word 2008 after Microsoft Autoupdate

    Hi
    I have a 1.83 GHz Intel Core with 1 GB 667 MHz RAM running OS 10.6.4
    I also have an HP Photosmart C4480 connected by USB
    I updated Microsoft Office via the autoupdate and now when I print from Word (and when I print pdf documents from Word) every 3rd line prints kind of lightly, so the page alternates between light and dark. I tried printing from other programs (non-Word pdfs and excel) with no problem...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!!
    Lee

    thanks for the tip - that was it - updating the driver off of HP site seems to have solved the problem
    cheers!!

  • Page numbers display as 5 of 1 and 2 of 2121 in a PDF that was created from a Word 2003 document

    We merge several Word 2003 documents into 1 larger document that we then convert to PDF.  The page numbers in the Word document display properly - 1 of 21, 2 of 21, 3 of 21, etc.  We then convert that merged document to PDF by right-clicking the filename and choosing "Convert to Adobe PDF".  For those of us with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.3, the page numbers in the converted PDF file display as 1 of 1, 2 of 1, ... 21 of 1.  Those with Acrobat Professional 8.1.3, they display as 1 of 21, 2 of 2121, 3 of 212121, etc., each page adding another total number of pages to the total.  There is no change in the result if using v8.0.0 or 8.1.4  Does anyone have any ideas???

    Unless you have a specific reason to upgrade to OFFICE 2007, I would not recommend it. I hate it -- have it on two computers. I have had problems creating PDFs reliably from WORD 2007 and PPT 2007, at least with graphics. The conversion seems to want to split graphics up into several parts rather than leave it as one. It does not happen with WORD 2003 and so assume this is some sort of issue with OFFICE 2007. You can get the graphics fine if you use the MS plugin for PDF creation, but then you have to deal with the MS version of a PDF. If you want to try it on one computer in your office, I would do that before you make the change. However, if what you have meets the need, then why change unless there are specific items that you are looking for and don't have.
    OK, that is my opinion. I am sure there are counter arguments. If I had the preference on my newer machines, I would have OFFICE 2003. Bill

  • Bookmarks from Microsoft Word 2008

    I am slowing converting a lot of my old technical material into PDF's. Most of it has to be scanned because of its age, I recently found an old book I had written in its original Word file. This book has number of headings and subeadings.  I got the most recent version of word to recognize it.
    There is only one problem. I cannot get the file to generate bookmarks!
    Right now I can see two alternatives: (1) do the conversion myself and hire someone to put in the bookmarks or (2) find someone who has PDFMaker for windows and have him/her do the conversion.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks
    DD

    The Mac version cannot make bookmarks. You need to make the manually or do it from Windows.

  • Importing a TOC from Microsoft Word

    I'm working on a Medical instruction manual that was done in Microsoft Word.    The TOC came over and SEEMs to link up to it's appropriate areas but I'm having a hard double checking because of the naming conventions (i.e. "ref00084848").   I want to make sure the TOC links up to it's appropriate pages...and I'd also like to know how to make the pages dictate the TOC.  For example if we added a page which pushed pages,  is there a way for that to automatically update the TOC?
    One other question:  This manual is going to be dictated in several languages so it's 144 pages and the entire thing is threaded.   THere are diagrams with arrows pointing at specific things in photos with words.    Normally I would do it in illustator and place them in the text block to nest them but because their being translated I have to keep the all text in InDesign.  Is there an easy way to nest everything like this? 
    Thank you in advance!
    -Craig

    is there a way for that to automatically update the TOC?
    To completely destroy all of the xrefs that make up the imported Word TOC and rebuild a brand-new TOC with InDesign's Table of Contents tool.  Which you want to do anyways because:
    This manual is going to be dictated in several languages
    I'm guessing here that "dictated" means "translated." That Word TOC stuff, you'll barely be able to get it to work in English, don't try to send it through translation.
    THere are diagrams with arrows pointing at specific things in photos with words.    Normally I would do it in illustator and place them in the text block to nest them but because their being translated I have to keep the all text in InDesign.  Is there an easy way to nest everything like this?
    An anchored object would work here, I think - depending on how you expect the language service provider to work, what you expect to get back, and so on. You could place an InDesign file into another InDesign file, just as you could place an Illustrator file, but I can't tell if you expect to hand off a package with all links to your LSP, or if you are expected to just export IDML, and they expect to return only IDML for you to clean up (which is a pretty terrible translation workflow, but normal for the bottom end of the language industry, for what it's worth).

  • Pasting text from Microsoft Word

    I am working in InDesign on a Windows XP computer. When I paste text from Microsoft Word into InDesign the text loses its formatting such as italics and bold. Is there any way to maintain that formatting? I am supplied with this text by a client and I have so much formatting to do that the projects take me longer than necessary.

    ... and don't forget to run this set of macros in Word BEFORE you do copy/paste ;)

    I have a scanned doc that I copied onto a word doc.  the scanned document text was crooked.  I want to straighten the text.  How do I do that

    If it is an image you could simply click on the image in word and then use the green dot that appears above the image to simply drag and rotate the image around. Alternatively, import it into iPhoto and use the rotation capabilities in that, click edit and then quick fixes and rotate. (Then export back into word).

    Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page.  Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page.  Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

  • Importing text from Microsoft Word documents

    Can anyone offer recommendations or tips on the Import feature?  I am considering use of import for a vast amount of content from Microsoft Word documents.  I am using DW CS3 and I have heard good and bad about the import feature.  I would like to try to make it work for me and to make sure I'm using it correctly.  Many thanks! Ms. Gill

    I hate to say this, but don't do that.
    Ms. Web Editor (may I call you Web?), I regularly input stuff my clients send me from Microsoft Word. I never attempt an HTML conversion from Microsoft. It's just too dirty.
    Instead, what I do is I copy paragraphs into Dreamweaver's Code View window, putting a <p> and a </p> before and after them.
    If there are headings and sub headings in Word, I simply make them into lines without HTML, then press [Command]-1 or [Command]-2 to make those lines into <h1> or <h2> tags.
    I never try to export from Word. Microsoft does not know how to create clean HTML and CSS. It is always a losing proposition to trust that they do.

  • Why can't I copy from Microsoft 2011 Word to apple postage stamp email?

    Why can't I copy from Microsoft 2011 Word to apple postage stamp email?

    You probably ended up purchasing a Mac OS X 10.6.3 DVD. I have posted previously about this. I will edit this once I find the post again.
    10.6.3 is incompatible with the Mac Pro you are using. You must install the version that came with your computer or newer. (Yours came with 10.6.4)
    If you do not have the original discs:
    There is another way to do this that I just remembered when one of my co-workers asked me if I had a 10.6.6 disc.
    You need two macs: NEW and OLDER.
    Connect NEW and OLDER via firewire cable. (NEWER is probably firewire 800, so you may need a firewire 400-800 adapter or cable)
    Boot NEW into "Target Disk Mode" by holding down 'T' at boot until the Firewire logo (looks like a Y) appears.
    Boot to Install Disc in OLDER.
    Once you have booted to the install disc, it is the same process as installing it onto the internal drive, except you need to choose the Drive in the other computer as the target drive. The drive that you want to install to will look like it's a firewire drive (so it will look like a mounted usb drive but with that 'Y' symbol on it.)
    MAKE SURE NOT TO INSTALL OVER THE GOOD DRIVE!!!!!
    Go ahead and install Mac OS X.
    Once it finishes installing and OLDER shuts down hold down the 'Option' key right after the chime. Select the drive that you just installed Mac OS X on. It should appear just as it did in the Installer.
    Once it has booted and you have logged in: run software update and update to the latest version of the OS. Once you have finished updating, shutdown the computer. Unplug the firewire cable. Turn off NEW, then turn it back on. It should work properly.
