When I "copy" text from a website and "paste" it in an email or Word document, the receiving application locks up.

This continues my previous thread.
jscher2000, it was my fault for the disappearance of Private Browsing. In changing the Privacy settings I inadvertantly checked the box that takes Private Browsing away. All is good now except the Copy/Paste issue.

Make sure that you haven't set set the pages as multiple home pages.

IPad won't copy text from web page and paste in email

I'm trying to copy text from a web page, and when I paste it in Note or in a new email, it copied the web page link, not the text. Doing this in iPad. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I think it depends on what you are trying to copy.
To copy, put your finger on the text and hold until the copy thing shows up. Adjust the size to whatnyou want, then touch copy.( I know, you already knew that). To paste, touch the screen where you want it to go until the paste thing shows up.
I just did it
glass, metal and minimalist design. Two. ( pasted from a web page)
Some pages are set up so that you cannot copy words or images.
So try a different page to see if you are doing it right.
If you want, post the link to the page and we call all try it as well.

Why can I not copy text from a file and paste into "File Name" when saving?

I thought I used to do this but I cannot copy a string of text from within AI (CS5, CS6 or CC) then "save as" and paste into the "file name" field. Why would this be?
This proceedure works fine in Photoshop.
Mac OSX 10.7.5.

I am copying the characters not the object. Something seems to have changed at the system level. I can paste the text to other applications (Skype, Word, etc.) but not the "Save" dialog. I have been pasting the text to a Skype message window and re-copying. Then it will paste into the save dialog. Weird.
I see you are on 10.6.8. Maybe it's a system difference.

How can i copy text from a website without getting blue formatting?

I can't seem to get rid of the blue background when I copy text from a website and paste it into a Word doc.
Any suggestions?

Use an intermediate application to "strip" the copy elements of their extraneous/unwanted data. Paste the original copy into a text-only application like TextEdit, then copy the text itself from that paste. Then, paste the text into your Word document.

I am just about giving up! I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 4.3. Now when i copy text from an incoming email and paste it it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it.

I am just about giving up! I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 (4.3). Now when I copy text from an incoming email and paste it into Pages it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it. It has a border round it and corner markers. I have never had this problem before. I have looked at every conceivable thing but cannot find how to get rid of this Object and just paste in the wanted text. If I fiddle and fiddle within this text I can eventually get a cursor and work on the text - but how on earth can I get rid of the surrounding box?
I don't know if this is at all clear but I can't think of any other way to describe this - but it looks like this in Pages with corner and top, bottom and side markers.

Peter hello - I have been copying and pasting for as long as I can remember and it has NEVER done this before - so why now!? Anyway, Jerry has told me about Paste and Match Style --- yet another new thing!
I have also discovered that I don''t need to hold down Option when I go to Save to get Save As - I can hold down 4 keys (shift, option, command and S) and it will bring up Save As!!
Thanks for your response.

When I Copy Text From Preview, It Pastes Gibberish

More & more frequently, when I copy text from a pdf doc opened in Preview, it pasts gibberish.
I sue to be able to quit preview in 10.5.x, now on my new iMac 10.6.x, it keeps pasting the same old gibberish.
Besides using Reader, is there anything else that I can do because I like preview.

Sounds like a mucked up font database. Restart into safe mode (hold down the SHIFT key during restart and after the chime), then restart normally. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 Afterwards, launch Font Book, reset any collections, validate your fonts, and then resolve duplicates.

Indesign repeatedly crashes when I copy text from one InDesign document to another InDesign document

Indesign CC repeatedly crashes when I copy text from one InDesign document to another InDesign document. Is it possible to solve this problem?

Without system information and details like what text formatting, language settings, fonts used, paragraph styles even down to the spell check language nobody can even begin to guess.

Problems when i copy text from Pdf and paste on Word

In Pdf documente the text is in perfect conditions, but, when i copy the text and paste in WORD document the character change into random crazy character like: "()*"*&!(!*"(!"(!)"( )*"()!*("!&("@*")(!*@"!*@(
how i fix this??

I have the same problem when copying the PDF into a Word file. I tried Save as RTF doc. and it is still just symbols.
It could be a font problem, because it has some weird Gill Sans and Futura fonts. I am sending a picture as an example.
The option of exporting as Tiff and then applying OCR is interesting but still is kind of slow when i have a 100 pages document. If the fonts is the problem is there any way i could select the whole text and apply it a known font like Arial?
Thanks for any info!
Cheers,
Sebastian

Copying text in a column and pasting it into email

I'm trying to copy a list of email addresses that are in a column in Numbers. It either won't let me paste it in an email at all or if I can get it pasted in another place it pastes it almost like it was an image, not individual lines of email addresses.
Any help?

Your first question was:question1
Any idea about how to copy a column of e-mail addresses from Numbers into Text Edit or Textwrangler for example without needing to go via yet another program? Why does not copy and paste work on simple text in Numbers?
After my response, you change to a completely different question. So, of course my response to question1 may be inaccurate for question2.
question2
Anyway -- what I stated was thanks for the help -- it works as you say, but does not really solve my or most peoples problems with this (I have now realised).
Because dropping in address groups from the Addressbook will still format the addresses so that they cannot be copied (intuitively/plainly as in Excel). One could however copy them and paste into a new document once again, but then you have to manually drag the table for hours to reach the length needed to be able to paste the addresses into the table, in order that one subsequently may be allowed to actually copy the addresses normally. Numbers also default to hiding many relevant columns when dragging and dropping Addressbook groups (one has to unhide them).
I just find it odd that a Mac app should be even more difficult to actually use than even the hopeless Excel ... . /Jerry
This question is not really related to Numbers but to AddressBook.
It's quite funny because from time to time, on this forum, some users are annoyed because when they copy rows from Numbers, hidden rows are copied too
while you are annoyed because , when you copy from AddressBook, hidden fields are not copied.
In your message, if I understand it correctly, there is something which seems to be wrong.
When we paste hudreds of rows of datas in a table, there is no need to create the table's rows by hand. Just paste at the bottom of the table and the new rows will be created automatically.

Can I copy text from a website or Facebook account and paste it into another web application?

Can someone read my question above and help to resolve. It does not make sense that I cannot copy from the web????

I've done it. Select your text, copy and then go into the other application and paste it.
If you want to see what it'll look like you can open the notes app or a word processing app and paste it there, then into your final destination.

When I cut and paste a selection from a website, and paste to Textedit, why will the text open but not the image: was OK before Lion.

Before Mac OS Lion I could select text and pictures from a Firefox webpage, and paste into Textedit, with no problem. Since Lion the text selected pastes fine , but for an image there pastes only anicon which does not, and will not open.
I checked with the same procedure in Safari, and everything is fine.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
There are other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

When I copy text from Adobe Reader to Word, the top half of some lines of text disappears?

I've never seen this before, and now it's happening all the time.
Is there any way I can fix it? I am using snapshot to copy.
Thanks.

Why can't I copy a Url address anymore and paste it into an email or somewhere else ?

I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and I can no longer highlite and copy any URL address so that I can paste them somewhere. This is not good as I often will want to copy and paste a Url address and now I can't. This is not progress to me at all . No where was this covered in any of your many topics that you have to scroll thru in Help pages , so please advise. Thank you

I have downloaded the Theme Penguin 3.9.7 as that is the background I had used in the older version of firefox and now it doesn't look anything like what it used to be ...at all... or for that matter what is shows what it is in the choices of the themes.. If I disable it , then I can highlite and copy a Url address but not if I have it enabled. I also can't even type in a URL address into the address bar at all. So does this mean I can't use a theme and have to just stay with the regular firefox theme? It will let me copy a URL but only if I use that theme.

Need to copy text in e mail and paste to seperate word doc file

Previous to Firefox 4 I could highlight text in body of e mail, select Edit and drop down to copy then minimize screen and select Word Doc file, then paste and print text.
Please advise, Coyote Deb

You have the orange Firefox button?
You can call up the classic menu bar ''temporarily'' by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10. To display the classic menu bar all the time, choose
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
That will replace the orange Firefox button.
Also, you should be able to copy by right-clicking on the selected text and choosing Copy from the pop-up menu. Could be quicker in some cases.

I don't think you can copy layers – at least not in the
way you are thinking.
But you can select frames or a range of frames and then
copy/cut frames.
In the new document you can then paste frames. It has a lot
of variations depending upon how you many you copy, if there are
multiple layers, what area you select before pasting and so on. It
would take a lot to describe and I'm not sure I would describe it
properly.
Generally just give it a try and get an intuitive feel for
it. The choices are available from the Edit menu but also from a
right click.
It is also possible to slect and edit multiple frames so if
you do need to move a bunch of things on different key frames that
is also possible.
