Using Firefox I cannot cut and paste from an email to Microsoft Works 9. I can if using Explorer.

I use Mozilla Firefox as my internet browser, and yahoo for email. I have a dell Inspiron with Microsoft Works 9 preinstalled. About 90% of the time, if I copy text from an email and then try to paste it into a word processor document using Microsoft Works 9, Works shuts down. The notice says "a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available." The program however never closes and I never receive any notifications from windows. I have to manually close the program. This problem dose not exist if I use Explorer for my browser and yahoo for email.

Hi there,
Wow, that sounds very odd indeed! What happens if you press Ctrl+N on your keyboard? Normally you should see a new Firefox window. If nothing happens when you do that, something is definitely wrong with your Firefox.
My advice would be to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem exists there as well. This article has all the details: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If all else fails, here's a method that will almost surely fix the issue: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
Let me know if any of this helps or if you need more assistance.
Thanks!

Cannot Cut and Paste From Excel

I am trying to simply cut and paste from Excel into the Xcelsius spreadsheet. Even though the user manual indicates to copy from Excel and right click where you want to paste, the Paste and Paste Special functions are greyed out. It is almost like the cells are locked or protected somehow. I selected Formal Cells -> Protection and unlocked the cells but still nothing. Any ideas? Excel 2007

Hi,
It seems your workbook was locked. Try the following... it might help you.
I know some of you out there have hit this problem in the past and now we have a workaround...
If you try to add/remove/modify a worksheet in the Xcelsius embedded Excel and you can't do it.
1. Start to unprotect the workbook:
Office 2007 (Ribbon menu in Xcelsius or Excel). Select Review > Protect Workbook > Protect Structure and Windows.
Office 2003 (menu only in Excel). Select Tools > Protection > Unprotect Workbook.
2. You will be prompted for a password.
3. This is the password (the O is an uppercase o):
fazOh1+u
4. Click OK and the spreadsheet should no longer be locked.
Let me know if still your problem exists.

Since I have updated to 9.0.1 I cannot cut and paste into my forum. (Im Admin so you can see this is big trouble for me).. cant do it in my geek forum either yet it works fine in Gmail

I have managed to 'fool' it a few times by pasting into a gmail then going direct to my forum and repeating the process, but if its a cut n paste from a news site, forget it. It will not accept anything into a quote box or img's.
I work in a news room.. please help.

Cut and paste form one email to another works erratically with this release.

Occasionally use portions of a received email to forward on - use cut (cntl C) and paste (Cntl V) to do this. Can select the text I want to cut but the T'Bird message I'm pasting into will not accept it. I can paste that cut piece into other packages (i.e. Word) so know the Cut was OK. Other than that, love the new look!!!

try pasting as unformatted Ctrl + Shift + V

I cannot copy and paste from email to word processor in microsoft 7, not Office

why can I not copy and paste from Yahoo email into Microsoft 7 word processor. I don't have Office. I used to do this all the time using Control C to copy and Control V to paste but recently AT&T installed Firefox and I think that's when the trouble started

There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
* Ctrl+v
* right-click > Paste
* Edit > Paste (from the menu)
Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

I cannot cut and paste .rtf from a MS Word document to a web page.

I am running a MAC desktop with version 10.5. I use MS Office for MAC. When I try and cut and paste from a .rtf file to an amateur writing site, I always get a timeout. Help please!

Hi Sara. Tanks for responding. If I cannot figure this out (I was up
until 2am last night), I want to cancel my subscription.
Here are two files you can check on/help me with. When I try again, it
comes up 'an error has occurred when trying to access the service.'
Please advise.

If you refer to this

At a first glance, their website is optimized for Windows only, it displays badly in Safari, perhaps it would be better in Firefox or other browser.

I have Firefox 6.0 running under Windows XL. When I forward an email with a URL in it, my recipients tell me the URL is not highlighted and they have to cut and paste it into their browser. Why? How can I get my forwarded URLs to be highlighted?

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail

I cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail. Neither from using the keyboard shortcuts, or using the Menu function. I can copy and paste from other applications into Mail- but for some reason, text copied from a Word document (both in .txt and .doc formats) will not paste into an open email. Anyone else have this issue? It's a new issue. I used to be able to do this easily.

I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

Cut and paste from Word into Mail

I have an earlier post where I thought I had solved this problem, but now it's back with a twist:
I can cut and paste from Word, but after a few cut and pastes, it seems as if I can only paste the last successful section of text: copying new text from word seems to work, but when pasting into Mail, only the previous section of cut and pasted text appears.
I have checked the preferences within Mail, and they are set for plain text... so there should be no problem, yes?
I also tried quitting and then restarting Mail, but had the same problem...
Any advice?

Thanks, aqua*star -
I just checked the "archiving" and "back-up" suggestions in the Mail "Help" window and got the following info:
Mail preferences and messages
Your Mail accounts, rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes preference settings can easily be backed up. Tip: All Mail-related preference files should be backed up or restored as a group.
To back up:
Note: These steps back up Mail preferences, but do not back up Mail messages (emails), although you can do that with the .Mac Backup utility. See below if you want to manually back up Mail messages (mailboxes).
Create a uniquely-named folder on your desktop (or other favorite location). For example, you might call it "Mail Prefs Backups May152005" (adding a date is a good idea).
Quit Mail if it's running.
In the Finder choose Home from the Go menu.
Open the Library folder.
Open the Preferences folder.
Copy the "com.apple.mail.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file. Don't remove the original file from its current location (this file contains your Mail accounts information).
Close the Preferences folder.
Open the Mail folder.
Copy the "MessageRules.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (this file contains your Mail rules).
Copy the "SmartMailboxes.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (you guessed it, this file contains Smart Mailboxes information).
Finally, copy the Signatures folder to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the folder. (Your custom signatures, if you use them, are stored here.)
To restore: Just move all of the copies of the files and folders from your uniquely-named folder to the original locations from which they came, as listed above.
It looks like I can save and restore the Mail rules separately from the plist...

Italics and boldface not preserved in cut-and-paste from InDesign CS3

This is using Mac InDesign CS3 5.0.1 and Mac Dreamweaver CS3
9.0.
When cuting-and-pasting text from InDesign CS3 to Dreamweaver
CS3, basic text formatting such as italics and boldface are not
preserved for me. When I select Edit, Paste Special in Dreamweaver,
the "Text with structure plus basic formatting (bold, italic)" is
not selectable when the clipboard holds InDesign-origin text.
If I paste the same InDesign text into Word, the formatting
is preserved and if I then cut-and-paste from Word into
Dreamweaver, boldface and italics are preserved. But I don't want
to cut-and-paste everything twice!
Do others experience this too?

Apparently it is an issue with Leopard (and Illustrator)
Workarounds:
1) Export from InDesign as eps or PDF, or
2) Copy paste into Photoshop as a Smartobject, and then double click the layer to edit smart object (it will open in Illustrator)
I know, it's a pain.
