Using text select tool in Preview--pasting into Word

Hi, since the recent updates made Acrobat Pro 7 unusable (installer crashes, Acrobat crashes upon displaying title bars . . . I've posted on this elsewhere), I have been using Preview. I noticed that when I select and copy a piece of text in Preview and then paste this selection into a Word document the selection is unreadable. Is there any way to make the image readable?

Liz,
I have the same problem. Acrobat Reader 7 works well in my computer... I do not know if you can copy/paste into Word. However, I am going to reintall the System X and not do the recent updates (QT7, wireless keyboard and Security from last Friday)

  • Using selection tool to Cut image into pieces...

    Hi all,
    I was just experimenting with my Painter image editing software in my computer, and I just thought about an effect that I performed in my Painter software.
    Actually, what I did is best show in images attached here. Please use them as a guide to my questions.
    In Painter, I used the selection tool to seperate parts of my image as seen in my attached image. I just wonder whether one can do the same thing in after effects too.
    Thanks and hope to here your responses to my question.

    Ok. Thanks for your great tips as I'll see where I can go from here.

    Like Steve said, you'll have to use masks. To keep it clean and predictable, draw all your masks as needed, then duplicate the layer (Ctrl+D). then delete the masks on a given layer that you don't need. What is to become the background with "holes" also will need the mask modes to be set from the default Add to Subtract. Once you have everything, you may wish to use the pan behind tool (Y) to move the layer anchor points into the centers of the masked shapes, so animation becomes a bit more predictable.

    Use the select tool which is the arrow as I show in this movie. You can copy and paste into another document.
    Now if you want to edit text that another subject altogether.

  • In version 5, how do I use the selection tool to move objects?

    I can use the selection tool to select objects, but when I try to drag it, nothing happens. My workaround is to use the selection tool to select an object, and then use the transform tool to drag the object into its new position. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    is your object locked?

  • Text select tool not working properly

    When I use the text select tool, it selects columns, not words in a row, which is what I want. It used to work correctly. I am using Acrobat Pro, version 9.0.0.
    I tried adding the ALT key, with no good result.

    Is it with this specific document o any pdf you work on?
    If it was earlier working fine for you, try repairing Acrobat  by going to 'Help' menu > Repair Acrobat.
    Also make sure you have updated it to the latest patch.

  • PPro CC crashes when using Track Select tool

    This is probaby the most bizzare bug i have encountered so far - everythig works - i can scub, play and adjust footage, apply effects, titles and time remapping, but when i select Treack Select tool and click on the timeline, Premiere Pro crashes.
    This is a new develpment as well - i was able to use PPro CC just fine since i installed it (trial version), until yesterday.
    No new applications or updates for Windows, Nvidia card or Adobe were installed lately, but all drivers are up to date (according to various update managers)
    Premiere CS6 works fine with the same sequence (mixed RED and DSLR footage)

    thank you

    Yep, buggy project..
    New project with same and different footage works fine
    Other project created in CC works fine
    Imported sequence from CS6 works fine
    Imported sequence from a buggy CC project into a new project causes crash on using Track Select tool
    I was able to revert the project in question to CS6 via Final Cut Pro XML, also works fine (for now, at least), just have to redo some time remapping which didn't come through with XML translation, small loss
    I guess i'll wait few more months before switching to PPro CC, maybe mysterious bugs will be worked out by then
    Thank you for your replies!

  • KdeGraphics-Okular - How to change the color of Text Selection tool

    Hello All
    I'm trying to know how to change/fix the color of the Text Selection Tool (Ctrl + 4). Because when I highlight the text, it's only one color (Dark Blue) that make me could not read clear.
    ---- My OS Configuration
    OS : Arch
    DE: LXDE
    WM: OpenBox

    The highlight color is determined by the system-wide color scheme that you're using. There's no way to change it only for okular.

    Hello,

    Hello,
            Thanks for your response.
            I have implemented the function for AVToolRec as follows.
            AVToolRec AVRect;
            AVRect.size = sizeof(AVToolRec);
            AVRect.GetType = ASCallbackCreateProto(GetTypeProcType, &ToolGetType);
            AVRect.DoClick = ASCallbackCreateProto(DoClickProcType, &DoClick);

  • Skipping to the top of the document when text selection tool selected

    This may be difficult to explain. But often after I click in the toolbar to switch over to a specific Adobe document (in windows 7) that I previously opened and that is open to a page other than page 1 and with the text select tool has been selected, if I click into the text on the page (say page 4) and then scroll down with the mouse wheel to get to page five, the program will jump back to the beginning of page 1. (display is set at single page - fit page). I like Acrobat very much, but I find this to be extremely irritating and wasteful when trying to select text from and navigate a large document. Can you please tell me why this occurs?

    Mari,
    We're here to try to help you; we get some satisfaction out of helping folks to get along with their Apple Pages software. If you just take this one step at a time, I'm sure we can sort it out.
    Thanks for clearing up what your primary issue is. You had Fruhulda all confused with your complaint about printing. I sort of glossed over the printing issue because you seemed to be more focused on the formatting.
    Please re-read my first post - the part about the Format Bar being contextual - and let's go from there.

  • Need clarification using the selection tool

    Hi all,
    I have some strange (to me) occurrences while using the 'selection tool'...
    Explanation:
    I'm using PSE11 on a Win 7 (64) PC.
    What I want to do is to create a new pic from an existing pic.  The existing pic's background is unsuitable for what I want.  But the FG is what I need.  I thought that selecting the FG object and placing it into a new pic would be what I needed using the <quick selection tool>.
    To do this, I am trying to use the <quick selection tool>.  I've had varying degrees of success using it.  One main thing I don't understand & pretty much renders my task useless, is the fact that whenever I use <refine edge> so that I can refine my edge selection, my pic is immediately lost or taken away.  Since I have no idea as to what's happening, I am forced to close the pic (W/O saving changes, of course) & then re-opening the pic.  All's well until I use the <refine edge> button again, then, my pic disappears AGAIN!
    There are a few more details about this <selection tool> that I'm muddy on.  Is there something where I can read more about its use?  I would love to know more, but how?  Where?
    I am not a constant user of PSE, rather,  I only use it on occasions.  Normally, I use its scanning features.  I may play around with a few other features, but I also know that PSE offers many other powerful features, I rarely, if ever, use.

    There are many selection tool and way to extract a subject.  There are more way in Photoshop then in Photoshop Elements you should ask over in the Elements forum to get answers suitable for elements users.  You may get answers here that are not possible to use in Elements. Photoshop Elements

  • When I use the selection tool to move vector points and bend edges, I only see the change in wire frame.

    When I use the selection tool to move vector points and bend edges, I only see the change in wire frame.  Once I commit by letting go of the mouse button, the object does change.  It just previews with a wire frame. I would like to see the preview change on the solid object.  Is there a setting somewhere?
    I sure hope I am explaining this for people to understand .
    Thanks
    Ed

    Hi Ed,
    What do you mean by wire frame??And are you using selection or sub-selection tool since you have mentioned about vector point I doubt if it is sub-selection tool.Could you please attach a video demonstrating the issue where we see the mismatch in the preview and the output, so that we can understand the problem better and try to resolve it.
    Thanks,
