Ugly Clipboard Paste from MS Visio to Captivate 6

Hi All,
I've been using this technique, pasting from Visio to Captivate, very freqently when the arrows, shapes, etc in Captivate didn't offer the desired effects/shapes. When doing this in Captivate 5.5, the internal conversion was good and the pasted object that appeared, looked good. But when I do the same in Captivate 6, it looks like it converts the Visio Object into a low resolution bitmap : straight lines look quircky, etc .... Somebody noticed too ? Maybe I'm doing something wrong now ?
Thanks for any help or advice regarding this,
Regards,
Frank

Are you attempting to copy just the plain text, or the formatting as well?
If just the plain text, open a plain text editor such as Windows Notepad
select the text, or Edit > Select All in Flow
Edit > Copy
paste into Notepad
copy again from Notepad and paste into Captivate
If you are trying to capture the formatting, try
Edit > Copy Special > [ pick an option ]
Also investigate whether Captivate has any Paste Special capabilities.

Urxvt pasting from clipboard.. efficient, fast, clean

All urxvt users know this problem: you cannot paste from X clipboard into urxvt.
There are various workarounds. Many of them rely on synchronizing primary selection with clipboard (which I do not like. I don't want to "lose" a buffer). this can be in the form of autocutsel, or keybinds to do something like "xsel -bo | xsel -p", which has the additional disadvantage it requires an extra keyboard shortcut (one to sync the primary selection, one to do the actual paste).
I was wondering what would be a simple and clean way to paste the clipboard into urxvt (by using a -but only one- keyboard shortcut), without touching the primary selection.
I came up with putting this in my .xbindkeysrc
"xdotool type "$(xsel -bo)""
alt+Insert
But it's not perfect. I also tried with --clearmodifiers. If you try this out, you'll notice sometimes the paste will work, sometimes it will work half. Sometimes it replaces existing text, sometimes it will do nothing, and the best part is sometimes if you do backspace or stuff like that it behaves differently, I actually messed up my keyboard events with this.
Anyone an idea for the "perfect" way to go?

save this script as /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/clipboard
then add lines in ~/.Xdefaults:
URxvt.perl-ext-common: clipboard
URxvt.keysym.Mod4-c: perl:clipboard:copy
URxvt.keysym.Mod4-v: perl:clipboard:paste
should have a good work for copy/paste via Win+C/V
Edit: changed the method piping to xsel, avoid escape sequence problem.
wow! nice. thank you.
i didn't update this thread for a while, but i noticed that the earlier xdotool based solutions (including mine and Procyon's) sometimes just don't work, and I don't know why i will try this approach for a while
btw is there no recommed userspace location for urxvt scripts? otherwise, package your script please

Bug: Copy / Paste from Clipboard. Issue on HTML build.

Bug: Copy Pasted from the clipboard. On export to HTML, some of the graphic references got confused. Replaced 4 image with the 3rd and 4th no where to be found.

While there isn't a unique number displayed with each pasted item in the Assets panel, Muse does append a number to the image file name on export to maintain unique names on the exported site.
As noted in my reply to your other thread, please export from scratch to an empty folder and verify the behavior. Thanks.

Cannot paste from clipboard. Cannot read the available clipboard formats.

I cannot open a new or old pagemaker 6.5 document. The message comes up 'cannot paste from clipboard. Cannot read the available clipboard formats.
It will not let you do anything and I have to close by Alt. Ctrl. Delete.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Linda

Let me confirm what you're saying.
PM (windows?) loads up OK, but when you try to open an existing or create new publication, you get the error "'cannot paste from clipboard. Cannot read the available clipboard formats"?
!. PM6.5 can only be operated on a contemporary OS, like Win98SE or Win2K. Generally speaking, with later versions on Windows, it's a non-starter. If this is the case, and it's essential you open your PM files, download and install the trial version of PM7.
2. You probably have some corruption somewhere. You can try trashing all the configuration files (search using the string PM65*.cnf ) and re-loading PM65
3. If suggestion 2 fails, you need to remove and re-install PM65, but even this may not work. See 7.6 - Re-installing PageMaker of this linked PDF which was taken from the old AdobeForums FAQs. (Note the date of this FAQs and begin to realise how ancient PM65 is.)
4. Forget all the above, and move to InDesign.

Object is distorted when pasted from clipboard into Acrobat

I am running Acrobat X Pro. I can copy an image from my application and paste it Word without problem. However, if I paste it into Acrobat via Edit/Paste or using the Comment/Stamp tool to paste from the clipboard, the aspect ratio of the image is distorted. If I copy the image to Word, then copy it from Word and paste into Acrobat, it is not distorted. Is there any known problem with pasting metafiles from the clipboard into Acrobat? Any clues for diagnosing what might be the problem?

A better approach might be to use Acrobat X Pro's Edit Object Tool to insert the image.
Be well...

Copy paste from windows clipboard to JTextField

I am making a swing application with a lot of components in it. There are a lot of JtextFields in the application. when i do Ctrl+C from a JTextField and do a Ctrl V in a different JTextField of the same application the text gets copied to the second JTextField. But when i copy something from windows and try to paste it in JTextField it does'nt work. Please guide me. Some other component is eating up the Ctrl C/Ctrl V event or what?
I tried adding keystroke's to the InputMap of the JTextField but it still does'nt work.
Kindly guide me. Thanks in advance
Excerpts from the code:

Can script or automator paste from clipboard in numbers? how?

I have a large numbers template I use to determine pricingand create proposalsfor my business. I use a licensed Excel spreadsheet to run simulations then copy and paste a block of information into our template. I just finished my first script using AppleScript and managed to create a dock icon to open the template. is there a way to select a cell and paste from the clipboard automatically? Thanks in advance Apple community.
Ash

Here's a way to have AppleScript to paste the contents of the clipboard starting at a designated cell (if the contents of the clipboard are tab-separated data with returns, then Numbers will expand the table as needed). You can place the handler (the to block) somewhere in your script and call it as shown, substituting the appropriate names for your document, sheet, table, cell.
This, of course, assumes you have already succeeded in placing the contents you need onto the clipboard.
SG
-- call the handler with this:
my pasteClipboard("Untitled.numbers", "Sheet 1", "Table 1", "A2")
-- the handler:
to pasteClipboard(targDoc, targSheet, targTable, targCell)
-- select the Numbers cell
tell application "Numbers" to tell document targDoc to tell sheet targSheet to tell table targTable to set selection range to cell targCell
-- now paste contents of clipboard
activate application "Numbers"
delay 0.15 --gives user interface a chance to catch up--adjust as needed
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
end pasteClipboard

In most apps, you can't paste into the password field. It's a security risk.

I cant copy/paste from an article to my web site, get a Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.HELP

Tried to copy/paste from an article to my web site and got a "cannot copy /paste " warning and was directed to a security perferences site that said that Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.
Tried to find my Firefox profile directory using the start menu and was directed to hit enter to go to web. Feel like i am getting run around.

Let's start with something very basic, and that is, you do not need to use the paste button on most websites. The button just reads what is on your clipboard and sticks it into the form. You can do that yourself using Ctrl+v or right-click>Paste.
For your security, I suggest using those standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+x cut, Ctrl+c copy, Ctrl+v paste) or the context menu.
Occasionally you will find a paste button that runs a clean-up script or otherwise does something useful. That is where the (admittedly a bit complicated) instructions come in handy.
To open your active profile folder, you can use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Which help article are you using for the modifications?
Finally, please be cautious in opening up your clipboard to sites. You may have stuff you copied from other pages or other programs that you do not want to share with most sites.

How do I copy and paste from internet I could do this on internet explorer

I can't do that on Foxfire! Help

After highlighting something on a web page by left-click and dragging the mouse, you can go to Firefox button (or File) > Edit. Hover your mouse pointer over the 3 images to the right of Edit for a tooltip (scissors = cut, two pages = copy, clipboard = paste) or click the arrow to the far right of Edit for a drop-down, non-icon list of the functions available.
In Windows you can also right-click (without moving the mouse pointer around) the highlighted text, then choose Copy. On the document, email, etc., that you are copying to, you can use right-click, then choose Paste.

How do I copy and paste from Word into Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

using Windows 7 Professional SP1, Microsoft Office 365 (Office 2013).
I can copy the text within a word document, without a problem.
However, the paste options are greyed out and "Ctrl"+"V" does not work.
Am I missing something, as I can't work out how to copy the text from word, to use as a basis for my photo shop document.

Copy-Paste From Other Apps (like PPT 2004) Into CS5 Broken ? - OS 10.6.3

Hi,
New Mac, so to avoid problems went for the new post-Snow Leopard Photoshop CS5. Oops.
Copy-Paste From Other Apps Into CS5
Pasting images/photos from Powerpoint 2004 to CS5, I experienced the exact problem posted slightly off topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names." It was not answered and is quoted here:
---"I am using CS5 Photoshop and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still works with other macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint but it cuts the pictures in half and does not know what the res. of the image is. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the image res. is also not preserved."---
Besides that, I also found copy-paste from a digital camera photo.jpg from Preview to CS5 doesn't respect the resolution either. Directly opening the photo into PS CS5, fine.
From the earliest PS, always was able to copy any image to clipboard, have a new document dialog box come up pre-filled with correct original WxH pixels, original resolution, color mode, etc., and just paste into the new document - perfect fit (even the oddball PPT 576 ppi). Now a shift and cut-off. Don't have PPT 2008 to test pasting from there.
I have also found that a similar but less severe image cut off happens when copy-paste from PPT -> Preview, or -> TextEdit, or -> drag and drop picture clipping.
Opening Image File in CS5
Even an original 300 dpi tiff file wrongly went to 72 ppi etc. when opened directly into CS5. Converted the file to a jpeg in Preview - that jpeg file could be opened into CS5 correctly, reconverted the jpeg to TIFF in Preview, still opened OK (not counting loss of image quality). Still couldn't copy paste from either document into CS5 correctly. One difference I noticed in the converted files was that more information was available in the Preview file info. Maybe that made the difference in opening the file correctly.
I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks to Chris for the explanation of the dueling clipboards.
It's still frustrating, but since I still have a CS2 license from the dead G4 the current Mac replaced, I can try that (wonder if they can coexist), or maybe I could use an older Mac for this particular situation.
As for the .tif file, it was generated by a Mac OS 8.5 era image capture program that we are forced to use, and the analysis was that the app does not properly encode the TIFF tags to acceptable standards. Preview 5.0.2 just guessed right from the little information that was included - but it didn't work when tried with Preview 3.0.9 on an OS 10.4 Mac. So this was a unique situation.

Copy & Paste From Illustrator to Photoshop not matching document size

I just recently reformated my computer and I've been having an issue with copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop. Before I could copy a 2"x2" vector box from Illustrator into photoshop making a new document and the size and resolution would match. That is the new document would say 2"x2" at 300 ppi in photoshop and the preset would read "clipboard". I would then hit ok and paste and it would match perfectly. Now since I've reformated, photoshop always creates a new document with the wrong size regardless of the settings I enter in Illustrator or photoshop. I have document raster and effects set at 300 ppi in Illustrator and I have the new document set at 300 in photoshop, but it always transfers the 2"x2" box as some other size no matter what resolution I change it too. Again this used to work before so I'm assuming there is some setting I forgot about. Does anyone know? The main issue is the clipboard preset is not matching the document size, its almost as if Illustartor is telling photoshop it's a different resolution when it's not. Copying to 72 ppi seems to have no issue, which makes me think Illustrator just isn't sending it out at 300 ppi, but I don't know why as I have the document set at 300 ppi.

Have you found an answer that wasn't posted here yet? I have the same issue.

No longer able to copy and paste from safari.

When trying to copy and paste from safari to Pages or Mail it continues to paste the original coppiced information. In my online school environment (java) I am not able to copy and paste from safari to other programs. I was able to do this without problem before upgradeing to ios5.

jmgoldjr,
Same issue here and I have spoke with Apple support and actually had them log on to my University website and demo'ed the issue for themselves. This was only yesterday and the response was it would take 5-6 days for upper level support to get back to me for further analysis.
What exactly is happening is when I copy text from my school website, the text is never copied to the clipboard so subsequently when I past it somewhere else it just pastes whatever exists in the clipboard from the previous use.
Did you ever resolve your issue or find a work-around? If not I will gladly update this post when I hear more. My wife's iPad on 4.3.3 is functions perfectly in the same regard. Apple agree's it is a software issue but like simply require more time to diagnose.
Your University wouldn't happen to be Phoenix would it?
Thanks.
