Text selection (copy/paste) of text messages

Why is there no color highlight or flash or indicator of success at all when copying text from a text message?
Steps:
1. Copy a text message
2. Paste text message into text entry field
Problems:
1. There is no visual indicator of what text will be copied
2. There is no visual indicator of a successful copy
and, quite truthfully,
3. The long-press on the gesture area is an unusual (for webOS) gesture
Moving text between applications/areas should be identical in all applications, text fields, boxes.
In addition, the text-select instructions on palm.com:
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/pre/pre2/unlocked/solutions/article/45101_en.html#N103A8
do not work from the Pre 2 browser (it is not possible to select individual words in the example phrase and then grow the selection). These instructions should be updated, or, more desirably, text selection should be standardized on an OS level.
While this is a complaint, if anyone has any suggestions or guides I may have missed, please let me know. Also, if I'm simply doing it wrong, I'd appreciate help, as I've now spent far more effort than a non-phone-enthusiast would to understand the copy/paste functionality of my new device.
Post relates to: VisorPhone

Having used the phone for a few weeks now I can say that I've gotten used to selection & cursor motion, but still have problems as there is no indicator of successful action.
I also greatly miss the iPhone's magnifying action for cursor placement, as on my Pre 2 I have to place the cursor and then move it, because I can't see where I'm putting it initially (finger covering word).
I'd love to hear other's thoughts/experiences w/ text selection, the cursor, and copy/paste.

Can't shown chinese text when copy & paste data from server to Outlook, Word & notepad, etc.( Office 2013)

Can't shown chinese text when copy & paste data from server to Outlook, Word & notepad, etc.( Office 2013)

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, when you copy & paste a data from server to Outlook, word, notepad, then you do not receive the Chinese text.
For Outlook, please follow these steps: -
Close and reopen Outlook in your western locale (or switch the windows system to your Western locale if you changed that),
Manually change the message from Western to Chinese encoding, which you can do in all versions up to Outlook 2007.
If you want to stay in your Chinese locale in Outlook 2007, then:
After you hit reply, go to the Option tab > More Options.
In the Encoding drop-down menu, select the Chinese encoding you are working in (Not the encoding used by the person who will receive the message)
Note:
To set the Chinese locale in all versions up to 2007 the controls are under.
Tools > Options. In Outlook 2010 File tab > Options > Advanced > International options.
Unicode (UTF-8)
is a good setting for multilingual users.
Check the
Auto select 2007)/ Automatically select (2010) encoding box.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

I'm in trouble with copy paste some text from Word to DW mx 2004

I'am a new developer in webdesign. I'm doing my first site to
a cliente. I'm in trouble with copy paste some text from Word to DW
mx 2004. In the Edit / Preferences / General category i have the
spelling dictionary in Portuguese (Brasilian). If I wrote the text
in Portuguese directly from DW i can see the letters with ( ç
ã é ... ) and in the browser testing ( IE 6.0.2 with sp2
and FireFox 1.0.7 ), but with copy paste from the text in Word in
Portuguese when i bring it to DW i can see the ( ç ã
é ... ) in the beginnig but in the Browsers testing i can't,
and then after a while i lose the ( ç ã o ...). Can
anyone help me !?
I need the work finish in next monday. Thanks a lot.

Your line breaks will most likely be incorrect if you don't turn on the Japanese Composer.
It is almost absolutely impossible to accomplish your goal without having a font - any font - installed on your system that has that glyph. However, if it's showing up in Word, than means that you must have that glyph installed, right? What font are you trying to use in InDesign? You might already know that Word will auto-substitute fonts when it encounters a missing glyph, so we really don't know what font is being used to render that one glyph. The whole sentence might be in MS Mincho but one glyph might be pulled from another font if MS Mincho doesn't have that glyph.
That being said, you're going to break it if you don't know how to set Japanese type in ID. It's not something where you can just copy text out of email and paste into your English layout.

When I try to copy a drawing with text, it only pastes the text, can anyone help me?

adobe illustrator cs5

Are your drawing layers locked and the text layers unlocked? So far it sounds as if the "Copy" command isn't grabbing anything but the text. I've had a similar problem with text not coming across when I saved my vector art as a raster image: for that I had to remove a compound path or something from the text before it would come over.
Make sure your layers (and sublayers) aren't locked, and check your compound paths and clipping masks to see if there's something funny going on.

Select/Copy/Paste

Why is it that when I have a photo open in CS4, the photo in this case is 13" x 11". I Select / All / Copy and paste it into a document that's 12" x 18", the photo is now reduced in size to a couple of inches wide. Why can't I set the image size and then Select/ Copy/ Paste and have it paste as that same size?
Bob

As John says, the resolution is different. In this case, just add an additional keystroke to the mix: Ctrl+A (Select All), Ctrl+C (Copy), switch images, and Ctrl+V (Paste), then add Ctrl+T (Free Transform). I just did a bunch of video images, and did add a Ctrl+W (Close) for the first image. I just held down the Ctrl key, and did A, C, W, V T, and I was ready to Transform, as was needed to match up to my NTSC 720x480 16:9, PAR = 1.2121. Took moments, and then I just did a Shift+corner drag to Transform my images.
Good luck,

How to copy/paste anchor text box to its anchor point in text and delete all empty anchors?

hi all
i have a document of few pages but one story. The right column is the main text box and on many places anchored text boxes are placed which appeared on the left column as shown below.
i want text of each anchor-text-box to be cut from its place and paste at its insertion/anchor point and delete all empty anchored boxes.
I am trying since morning but i unable to reach anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be helpful.
virender

Ok, let's say you have one main text box (not anchored) and three text boxes that are anchored to text within it. The first one is anchored with text, the second one is unanchored, and the third one is empty (I'm not going to get into inline anchoring vs. custom anchoring since you didn't bring it up in your post).
We cycle through the items on the page:
function main(){
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
    var myPage = myPages[i];
    //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.
    if (myPage.isValid == false) continue;
    if (myPage.parent instanceof MasterSpread) continue;
    var myItems = myPage.allPageItems;
    for (var j = 0; j < myItems.length; j++){
      //Current item.
      var myItem = myItems[j];
      //If myItem doesn't have a Character parent, it is not anchored.
      //The first and third text frames would fail this test.
      if (!(myItem.parent instanceof Character)) continue;
      //We only care about text frames.
      if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
      //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
      //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content
      //is inadvertently lost.
      else if (myItem.texts.length > 1) continue;
      //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
      //Flatten the text frame.
      //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
      //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
      flattenItem(myItem);
function flattenItem(funcItem)
     //Hold onto the anchor character.
    var myParent = funcItem.parent;
     //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
     //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
     //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
     if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
     //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
     //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
    myParent.contents = " ";
I guess the takeaway might be that you're not looking at the main text frame and then checking to see if anything is anchored to it. You're looking at each text frame and figuring out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

Garbled text when copy-pasted from a pdf document in Preview

I have this PDF document which I created in NeoOffice. When I copy some text from it, then paste it somewhere (or just go to Finder>Edit>Show Clipboard) I see garbled text. Or, if I go into the search field within Preview and type a word which I know exists in the PDF, it doesn't find it. But if I copy-paste it from the PDF document window into the search field, the copied term appears garbled in the search field itself, but I do get search results.
This happens only with this particular document, which I myself produced. No password/encryption or anything weird; just a straightforward print job from within NeoOffice.
Any clues? Many thanks.

happens to me all the time in preview, copying something that I need to paste, like a URL. Quitting and relaunching usually solves it, but now that won't work on the text I am copying today.

Copy&paste formatted text from the web

Hello,
I'm from IT department. Employees graphic gave me a difficult task. They need to copy text from the web browser which is underlined, into Illustrator. The problem is that while pasting the text loses it's formatting. I found the solution about pasting the text into MS Word and then import it AI. Unfortunatly they not accept that way, the said "we need something more easy, it's possible, someone told us". Is there any other way to copy text from the web browser to illustrator with keeping format? Maybe plugins? I'm googling about 2 days about it and didn't find any other solution. Please help me.

thank you
unfortunately it's not good solution because:
1.) "omg, too much clicking, we need ctrl+c ctrl+v"
2.) They change the text, change size, color, background etc in AI. When AI imports pdf all letters looks like seperate objects (it's hard to explain for me, because I'm not familiar with AI and my english is not good enough)

How can I prevent copy/pasting of text from my PDF?

I'm having trouble creating PDF security that DOES NOT allow copying of text. It seems I follow the security steps yet still am able to copy/paste.

Yes, I have figured that out and found I need a customized PDF viewer. It didn't occur to me to use a company that creates e-books, etc. Thank you for your help today.

Copy & Paste plain text?

It's really annoying sometimes when I can't copy just plain text from firefox to Pages. It always comes with its own font and size. How could I just copy plain text?

I've added via
+System Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts for other Applications+
a new Application, Pages. Via "Menu" I've set up a new Shortcut. In this case I used "⌘V" and have overwritten the default one. Now ⌥⌂⌘V is ⌘V for me. - And that is what Strato222 want to do: He/She want to use ⌘V and paste the text as plain text.
This works wonderful on Snow Leopard.

Copy/pasted hebrew text is backwards

I have a document which is mostly english with occasional hebrew words (with vowel points). When I copy/paste those hebrew words into MS Word, the direction is correct. When I copy/paste them into ID, they are backwards. I've created a 'hebrew' character style that specifies RTL and that doesn't work. I even have the ME version installed, but no luck.
Help help! THANX!

Good luck! מזל טוב!
Hans-Günter
Cute but mazel tov really means "congratulations" more than "good
luck", although that is the literal translation, e.g., "Mazel tov on the
birth of your daughter..."
"With success" בהצלחה would be a better translation of "good luck"

How can I keep my text format after pasting a text with a different format?

No matter when and where I start to write some text (whether it is a SImpleText, E-Mails, or anyother application's doc), if I have to cut and paste a text from a different source that is formatted differently than my original text (ie. the one I am already using ), once I have pasted the differently formatted text in my doc, the typeset changes while it continues to type with the same formatt used in the text I just pasted.
How can I continue typing with the same text formatt used before pasting the new text, after pasting the new text, without having to change size, font style etc. Is there a short cut?
What I have been doing to avoid this problem is: I usually type my entire text content (whether it is an E-Mail, or other doc) then, once I am done typing, I paste the text that was cut from a differently formatted document, so that my text remains with the same formatt in its integrity, while the pasted text stands out differently, but it is a bit complex doing that , because I not only have to remember to paste the other text when I am done typing (I run the risk of forgetting to paste the text I need to insert--which has happened already) or I keep struggling with my formatt change after the pasting of the new text, so my document text starts looking like the same text as the one which was just pasted.
Thanks for your time reading this!

(1) First, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. By "SImpleText, E-Mails" you mean TextEdit and Mail, right?
(2) Some apps (TextEdit, Mail) use the text engine provided by Mac OS X. By and large, these apps will behave in a similar manner. Others (eg, MS Word) use their own text engine, and their behaviour can be quite different. For such an app you need to consult its manual.
(3) In TextEdit, if you want the pasted text to adopt the current style, then use kurt188's tip.
(4) However, if you may want the pasted text to retain its own attributes, while you continue to type in the previous style. I don't know of any shortcut or command that will achieve this. However, you can try to work around it.
(4.1) TextEdit has the Copy Style (⌘⌥C) and Paste Style (⌘⌥V) commands. If you haven't yet used it, ⌘⌥V will insert the default style. So type, paste, ⌘⌥V, then continue typing. If you have used, it will insert whatever style was copied. You can, type, ⌘V, click somewhere before the pasted text, ⌘⌥C, click after the pasted text, ⌘⌥V, and continue typing.
(4.2) Alternatively, type your text. Then type one more character, eg, "x". Then ←, ⌘V, ⇧→, and start typing. The new text should adopt "x"'s format. (This should work in Mail, too. I don't know, because IMHO e-mail should always be plain text.)

Is there a way to make text that is pasted into text fields be consistent?

People want to paste text into the form fields but they don't want to have to change the font before they paste it and they would like it to change to a consistent font.

And if Drew's excellent reply doesn't do it for you, here's some text I prepared earlier (in best Blue Peter stylee for those of you in the UK... ;-))
The process is this:
1) create your menu background with all of the graphics in a single layer - make it look like you want the menu to be when no button is selected. Add all text, etc for the buttons. Flatten it and save as a pict file, 24bit colour.
2) add a layer to this photoshop image and just add the highlights that you want - a tick, arrow, underline, etc. Hide the background layer and convert this new layer to grayscale (you will need to flatten the image), then save it as a .pict file, 4 bit max - 2 bit could do it, too (You might now want to use the history tool to undo certain steps and save the file as a psd file so that you can make changes if you need to).
3) import both .pict files into DVDSP and set one as the background and the other as the overlay into your menu. In the menu editor, click and drag the mouse over the places where the buttons need to be. Click in one of those button hotspots and look in the property inspector under the 'color' tab. Use the sliders there to adjust what you want the highlights to be in each button state - remember that you are using a simple overlay in gray scale.

Which event dispatched after text selection done on spark text area in Apple iPad using Adobe Flex 4

I need to know which event triggered after text selection done in Apple iPad. This way i have done in desktop air app code (mouse events)
protected function txtEditor_mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            if(txtEditor.selectionAnchorPosition != txtEditor.selectionActivePosition){
                showNoteToolBar(event);
                txtEditor.focusEnabled = true;
                txtEditor.setFocus();
But in Apple iPad how to achieve through "Touch Event" ? And also i need how to hide all context menu on Spaek TextArea?. Why Touch.End event is not fired after place cursor on text area ?
Please help me !

Ok, so I finally got it working but this is not ideal at all. Adobe really needs to give us some direction on how to properly deal with font embedding and TLF now that the release build breaks all functionality with loading runtime fonts and TLF.
Problem:
I am embedding collections of fonts (faces) into single family classes. Each individual face is registered with Font.registerFont(). I need to do this because I have to have mixed fonts within text flows - at least according to Alex H's recent blog post.
Fonts do not display in TLF without doing the following:
1. GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null;
2. editor.textFlow.flowComposer.swfContext = ISWFContext(this.getFontContext("AnyFamilyNameFromAnyFontEmbedded", false, false, FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF));
3. Instead of #2, use editor.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
Either #2 or #3 need to be performed. If I have a spark richEditableText control in MXML with defined familes from the loaded fonts. I even tried placing the control into a separate state so it wasn't created until after the fonts were loaded... I still needed to invalidate the formats or set the context.
The "AnyFamilyNameFromAnyFontEmbedded" does not need to be all of the embedded family names. It only needs to be one of them. Once one is used, all embedded fonts work. Also, I have to use the internal namespace to even get access to getFontContext, another oddity that, in my humble opinion, should never be necessary to create mixed style TLF content.
My questions are then:
1. Why am I required to use ISWFContext if I am using Font.registerFont()?
2. Why is GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null; also required for this to work?
3. What is the recommended workflow to embed fonts from multiple SWF files into the release build and have it work without having to jump through all these hoops?

Adding multiple images to site and how to avoid copying/pasting identical text on different pages

Hi guys, I've been using DW up till now and have been recommended to try Muse.
A couple of questions that I have been unable to answer by searching ...
1) I want to transfer all images from my old DW site but can't find a way to add these to the new site's assets. Can I only add images manually to a page for them to appear under assets?
2) In DW I used iframes to have the same text appear on different parts of a site. This means that when text about a product changes, it updates in every instance rather than me having to copy and paste into the different instances. Is an iframe the best process in Muse or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance for advice,
Jo

Hi Jo,
You can't add the images directly to the assets folder directly. You need to add the images to the pages for them to appear under assets.
For updating text in every instance, the best way to do so in Muse is to place the text on a Master page and apply it to all the desired child pages. So all you would needed to do is to update the text on the master page and it will updated on all the associated child pages.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
Aish
