Text paste

If I have a paragraph of text and paste in photoshop, is there any ways to control the length of the paragraph inside the text box without distorting the text? I mean everytimes I have the text and need to press "enter" to create the form of text box. Any more efficient way to do that?

Draw a text frame with the text tool and paste into that.

How can I change the format of text pasted into a Mail email from another document?

I paste some text from a word document into an email in Mail. In the word document, the text was indented .5" from the right margin. In the Mail email document, the text also appears indented .5" from the right margin.
But since this was the last text in the email I am composing, my text following the pasted-in part continues at the indented "style" of the pasted in text. And thre are no controls for changing this indentation on subsequent text in that email, nor can you chage the indentation formatting of the text pasted in.
Even when you select "decrease indentation" under the format/indentation options in the menu bar, Mail will not reduce a "pasted-in" paragraph indentation nor will it return a subsequent text paragraph you type in manually back to a left-adjusted margin.
Am I miising something?
Is there a way to see something in each Mail message composition window akin to what you see in a word processing document that allows you to set margins and indentations and tabs for individual paragraphs? Just like the Formatting controls you have here in the Apple Support communities when you ar composing a message and that I used to indent this paragraph?
And then used to return this paragraph back to the original left adjusted formatting?
Steve

Thanks for the reminder. I use the formatting toolbar but forgot to go there instead of the Format menubar item for Mail to try the indent and outdent commands.
But, alas, that indent, outdent option has no impact on text pasted into the message. It remains stuck at the indent level of the source text.
Might the answer lie in switching to plain text and formatting there? Tried that and no difference.
I did discover that if you highlight text pasted in with its "own" indentation preference "baked in" you can indent that text further and even "outdent" it back to where it was, but you cannot shake it's original indentation status to get it back to full left margins.

Copy and paste error - Text pastes at half-size.

Copy and paste error — Text pastes at half-size.
When I copy and paste text already in my photoshop document, the text retains the styling but the text size is exactly half of what it should be.
I'm using the most recent version of CS6. Thanks!

Ok, I found the issue.
http://d.pr/i/h48E
The text box was transformed by 200%, while other text boxes are at 100%. So when you copy a 200% into a 100% it's half. Makes no sense that this is a feature.

In UDF text paste.

Dear All,
I have an requirement in which I have made a UDF( type is alphanumeric and structure is text ) in the marketing document for Sales Quotation. Now the user will copy some text from an external document and would paste in this udf. The text from external document would be like eg - short technical details :
2-250 1/1 H4 V6/1.5 380-415/50
Optionen:
380 - 415 V CE,
Steuerleitung H4 (0,8 - 2,8 m )
now the problem is that if the user copies this text and paste in the udf only the first line is coming means - 2-250 1/1 H4 V6/1.5 380-415/50 but i want the whole text to be pasted.
Also I cannot use the Item details in the row level as in it I would paste the detailed technical description of the product.
Is it possible to create a udf with same properties of Item details wherein the additional screen would open and then I can paste the above short technical details.
Please let me know how to resolve this problem.
Regards,
Kamlesh

Hi Kamlesh,
What is your SAP Version and Patch Level ?
I tested the same what you are mentioned but iam not face any problem the whole text
will be pasted propertly in my UDF.
You Create a another UDF and test it.

Any Way To Have Dreamweaver Cut Off Text Past 100%?

Does anyone know if there is a way to make Dreamweaver cut off your text if it is past 100% of the screen size? Thanks.

Deleted, not wrapped.
It's no big deal though.
The thing is I want it right at 100% so it fills up the width of the whole screen. But, it doesn't work right, because people have different size screens for one thing and the other thing, what I want is a straight line across the screen. Like if you were to go to style>underline and then, continually hold down the shift+ctrl+space bar until it got all the way to the end of the screen. However, when I actually preview it in my browser, it is not the whole screen (much shorter). So, then the only option is to make it really long to ensure that it does actually go to 100%, but then I would have to have Dreamweaver cut off/delete any extra text because I don't want a horizontal scroll bar across the screen. And, I don't think DW can do this. Too hard judging the 100% and it would be different on different monitors anyway, so guess I won't be able to do it. It's no big deal though.

In Safari (in Gmail), plain text pasted in doesn't adopt the existing font

When pasting plain text into Safari (Gmail), it shows up as Ariel instead of the current font in use in the e-mail (happens to be Trebuchet). It doesn't happen in Chrome.

And it's only a Gmail issue, not in, for example, Google Docs.

Text pasted into Dreamweaver does not bring in line breaks, paragraphs

This has happened to me a couple times and a quick web search has not yielded satisfaction. I've copied text from a web page, tried to paste it into an html doc in Dreamweaver and it all comes in as a single long line. Same clipboard pasted into other editors shows with line breaks... Paste Special in Dreamweaver has not worked for me. Oh... got it, I've been pasting into Design view.. pasting into Code view brings it in properly... Thanks!

Use Edit > Paste Special > Text with Structure.

Automator copy browser text paste to word

I am looking for a solution to copy text from a browser page (always in the same location) into to a specific location in Word and print. I have tried with Watch me and the task fails more times than it is successful - I am hoping someone will know how to successfully execute this repetative task.
I want to switch to an open browser page
select and copy the text of the element
id="customer-name-first"
switch application to "Microsoft Word"
execute find find text "xxx" replace with "CLIPBOARD" replace
Thanks in advance

You might find better luck posting on the Mac OS X Technologies forum. There is a section for Applescript.
Also, try MacScripter.Net.

I am copying and pasting into a new, Pages document (from the word processing menu), and I paste in text that is longer than one page, it doesn't continue onto the next page. I can't see the end. How do I get it to show everything I paste in?

I want to copy an extensive amount of text from a web page into a Pages word processing document, but it seems to chop it up into text boxes, some of which aren't long enough to show all of the lines of text. I can't get hold of a bottom edge of the boxes to drag them to make them longer. I tried several times starting over with a new, blank page (and I made sure to choose from the Word Processing part of the dropdown menu, since I read about a similar problem that said not to use the layout menu. It keeps doing the same thing. What do I have to do to get long text pasted to multiple pages, instead of it trying to be all on one page?
In the long run, what I want is to create this as an ePub book. Is there a better way to go about this?

Hi Ellen,
Copying from web pages can include some weird formatting. Instead of Paste, use Paste and Match Style (Edit Menu).

Ian.

Text Copied from Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 Pastes as Image

I have seen similar discussions but none of the answers are of any help to me as of today.
Background:
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10
All my CC apps are up to date as of (11/1/14)
I am also up to date on all other software on my Mac
My goal:
Copy text from illustrator
Paste in Mail, TextEdit, and Notes as live editable text
Results:
Text pastes as pdf or some type of an image depending on the app
What it looks like:
I'll start from the beginning to avoid some questions later.
I open a new document in Illustrator.
These are the clipboard settings in my preferences.
Please Note - I have tried every combination of these settings. Turning them on and off one at a time and in combination does nothing to change the end product. I have turned them all off for this example, so as to not muddy the waters.
I type some text. I did not use a text box in this example. I just clicked on the page with the type tool and typed this line. There are no added attributes. You can see the character settings are the most basic. Again, please note - I have tried using a text box with the same result.
I use the type tool to highlight the text and then copy the text. I did not use the selection tool to select the text and copy.
This is what the clipboard looks like. Note that the contents is "text".
If I type text in PS (as an example) and copy to the clipboard it says "text". However, the text I copy out of PS I can paste anywhere as editable text.
If I type text in Notes and copy to the clipboard it says RTF. This text can also be pasted anywhere as editable text.
This leads me to believe that this is an Illustrator centric problem I am experiencing.
I click into the body of an email and paste. Looks fine, but when I try to click into the text (such as between the words "into" and "Mail") I cannot do it.
The line of words is highlighted and not editable at all.
If I right click on the image of the line of text and highlight "open attachment" you can see the clipboard pasted in as a .pdf and not editable text.
Interestingly, if I open a new note and try to paste the line of text, it also pastes as a .pdf but just the icon show up. Double clicking on the icon will open the text as a pdf in acrobat.
I did not have this issue until CC2014 updates were made. I would like to know if there is something that can be done or is this a bug in Illustrator. If it is a bug I don't want to spend time looking for workarounds. I will use another program when I know there will be a good deal of copy and paste work to be done. It's inconvenient for my older Illustrator files now have this issue when I open them in CC2014.
I know I can use the "paste and match style" but it's a force of habit to use the shortcut for paste. It's also a ridiculous change to Illustrator for the cut/paste to act this way. If it indeed was planned and not a bug, what would the benefit be?
If anyone has insight into the problem I am eager to know what's going on.
Finally, if there is no other way to fix this then can someone remind me how to customize the shortcut key combinations in Mail, Notes and TextEdit? I seem to remember (long ago) being able to customize certain shortcuts in some apps, but I never did it in anything but Adobe apps and even then it was CS5.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I ran into this issue today. I wanted to copy text into an email – however I pasted it it stayed uneditable.
The workaround was to open Text Edit and use the menu item 'paste and match style' (Command+Option+Shift+V) which pastes it as editable text. Then copy and paste that into mail.
What a pain.
If I try 'paste and match style' directly in mail from illustrator it pastes as a flipping pdf.
I'm 10.10.2 yosemite and using Adobe CC

Copy and Paste from Word to ID – as text please?

Recently upgraded to CS4 and Office 2008. Now when I copy and paste text from Word to ID it only comes in as an image. If I'm copying a single paragraph from a lengthy Word doc, I really don't want to have to paste it into a new Word doc, save that, and then Place... into ID.
Is there really no way to simply copy and paste some TEXT from Word to ID?? Who asked for text to be pasted as images?

Sorry, I know this is an old post, but I'm not really finding many newer posts about this (although I did also find this article online via built-in InDesign Help, which contains a couple more recent responses: http://indesignsecrets.com/when-pasting-text-from-word-turns-it-into-an-image-in-indesign. php).
Anyway, as a long-time Mac user, I can confirm the OP's dilemma.
I just upgraded from a pre-Intel Power Mac G5, OS X 10.5.8, CS2 Premium, Word 2004 for Mac to a late-2011 MacBook Pro, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, CS5.5, Word 2011.
This definitely is working as the OP is describing. Select text in .docx file, Cmd-Tab to InDesign, paste (with nothing selected)... pastes as an image.
Drawing a text frame in InDesign *first* and *then* pasting the text does work, though (unlike the OP, it's not pasting as an inline graphic for me, so something may have been addressed since his posts), as does pasting the text from Word into TextEdit, then copying the text from TextEdit and pasting into InDesign (it is not necessary to first draw a text frame if pasting from TextEdit).
I can also paste the text from Word into Dreamweaver and then into InDesign, and it'll be actual text in both locations, without having to first draw a text frame in InDesign.
For some reason, though, it's not liking the Word-to-InDesign transition.
I even tried saving the file as a text-only file (.txt), opened that in Word, copied some text, pasted into InDesign with nothing selected... still being pasted as an image.
So, anyway, workaround method it is, for now.
(Yes, placing the Word doc -- as opposed to copying/pasting -- does still work, but if you're only trying to grab a few lines of text from the file, placing becomes more of a hassle.)

OK, this has been fixed with today's update.

Paste selected text AND images from a webpage to Pages/Word?

I'm a new Mac user (also running virtual Windows XP via vmware fusion), and I know next to nothing about my Mac. Please bear with me if this is something that has been answered (I looked, but didn't find a specific answer for my question...it may be here, but I can't find it).
On a Windows-based PC, all I need to do is select, copy, then paste into a Word document. All text and images would paste. I can't seem to figure out how to do that in Pages or Word (have MS Office for Mac, too).
Thanks for any help.

I suppose I was hoping I could do on my Mac, what I did on my Dell...that doesn't appear to be the case.
Specifically, I'm talking about clicking/dragging to select what I want (including images), opening a Word document then pasting everying, including ALL selected images. More specifically, at sites with game walkthroughs. I prefer to save them to a document and refer to them offline, if I need to. I actually tried it at 2 different sites (one that hosts their own images and one that does not), with the same results.
While I was waiting for a response (thank you, so much, by the way), I tried again and actually managed to get the first 3 images (of 60+) to paste into Word. There were blank places in Word, but the invisible images were clickable. In Pages, only the text pasted.
Tried it every which way, but Sunday, LOL, and nothing worked. If it can't be done on my Mac, then I'll just keep using my Dell (I knew there was a reason I decided to keep it) for that sort of thing and then email them to myself...or try installing my MS Office '07 under virtual Windows.
Thanks, again.

Cannot paste text from Safari as PLAIN TEXT

Safari 2.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.4.9.
Text copied from some web pages like
http://www.eloquentsw.com/livedictionary.html
cannot be pasted as plain unformated text. For instance, into Eudora Headings (which should paste it as plain text) or using Shift Command V to paste (which should paste it as plain text).
But if I copy such text, paste in a web form like this and then copy from here, then it pastes as plain text.
No problem using other browsers like Firefox. The issue only arises with Safari.
Any idea? Thanks.

You might be stuck, then, unless someone else knows a keyboard shortcut that does what you want.
My workaround for problems like this has always been to paste into a plain text editor (like BBEdit or TextWrangler), then copy and re-paste into the target document. Yes, it's a workaround, but it does work.

When I cut and paste on the ipad I often get unwanted html text.

When I cut and paste on the ipad I often get unwanted html text. Is there a way to just get the selected words? I dont need all the code and % signs.

Does this occur when you use a laptop?
It could be some extra formating characters are being copied. The web server app needs to filter these characters out.
Possible solution.
You need to find an app that filters out formating characters. Look for app support only simple ascii text.
copy text. paste to simple ascii text app. copy pasted text. Paste to safri.
something like, should be good enough. use file type .txt
