Why can I sometimes paste text into a revision history dialog box and other times cannot?

Why can I sometimes paste copied text (from another VI's revision history, for instance or from anywhere else) into a revision history dialog box and other times cannot? All versions of LabVIEW! It's something like the control key becomes diabled. I've noticed the same thing when saving many VI's at once, some will let you paste into revision history and others will not. Aren't all VI's created equally when it comes to revision history? All versions of LabVIEW since 3 have plagued me with this problem.

Hello,
If you'd like to add text to the revision history of a VI, you can
paste into the Comment box and add all of your text at once.  The
history itself can be read from this window, but cannot be directly
edited.  The History field is read-only in the dialog box. 
If you feel this should not be the case, your best course of action is
to express your desire for added functionality to our developers on the Product Feedback page of our website.

  • Why can't I delete or rename files in Word for Mac and other Office programs?

    When I try to delete or rename an Office for Mac file, I can't.  How do I delete/rename Word for Mac and other Office for Mac files?

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

  • Why does my quicktime player verson 10.2 somtimes read avi files and other times it wont recognize them?

      Why does my quicktime player version 10.2 sometimes read AVI video and other times it will not recognize that same file. I have a video card that sometimes it will read then the next time it recognizes the card but will not open the video. Message says "quicktime does not recognize this file.
    Whats up with that ??? Any help will be most appreciated!

    AVI is a container just like MKV, WMV, MOV, and MPEG. It is possible to use many different compression formats aka. codecs in an AVI container.
    Think of the container - AVI as being an envelope, and the compressed video in it as a letter. The letter may be in a language you cannot read even though you know how to open the envelope.
    Historically QuickTime did have some built-in ability to use AVI files and some formats in those files, this used to be further improved by installing the free Perian (for Mac only). However with Mavericks Apple have removed the ability for QuickTime X aka. QuickTime Player 10 to use AVI files, it now really only accepts MPEG4 or H.264.
    It is still possible to install QuickTime 7.6.6 in Mavericks and if you use it and Perian rather than QuickTime X you can still use various AVI files.
    Note: Mavericks also now no longer shows previews or thumbnails for AVI files for the same reason.

  • Why can't I paste anything into the Text window any more

    Hi Laura,
    Why cant I paste anything into the text window any more? I am using IE 7.0 (7.0.5730.13C0)
    Regards
    Ray Farmer

    I've seen some weird (temporary) cases, for example when ctrl+v suddenly did not work, but "right-click..paste" was still working. Also, when I was pasting the comment here, notice that the last line containing the date (i.e. the line containing May 27, 2011) moved to the top of the quote, while it was at the botton in the original location (probably soem extra html got dragged along, I have not investigated).
    (This was in Chrome.)

  • Why can't I type text into a Photoshop file?

    No matter what I do, or where I've checked, I can't get text to show up on my either jpg or psd version of an image. The text box isn't too small (checked that), text is black on white background (check), even changed fonts to test that. Nothing! Any ideas? I'm working on a PC, Windows 7, CC and/or PSCS6 -- tried them both.

    What is the image size?  If you have a large pixel image with a low DPI, for instance, text can be too tiny to see.  In that case, open Image resize > turn off resampling > increase dpi from its probable 72 to something like 300.  Try using a linear size for text as opposed to points.  If your image is 10 inches high, set the text to 1 inch and you know the text should be 1/10th image hieght.

  • Why can't  I paste HTML into target container of widget?

    I cannot paste the HTML code into the target container of the lightbox widget. After making sure I have selected the image frame, i delete the placeholder image ( ridged leaf ) by pressing Delete ( Mac ).  I reselect the inner container and choose Object>insert HTML but it always places it outside the widget! I have succesfully done this in the past, but with the latest version it is impossible. It's driving me nuts!!!

    After the HTML object is inserted into the page, you can drag it into the target.

  • Why can't I paste screenshot into PS?

    I have taken a screenshot using Apple + Shift + 4 and then selected an area.  I hear the camera shutter.  But when I go into Photoshop and open a new file, I cannot paste into it.  The Paste command is greyed out.

    Because command-shift-4 doesn't copy to the clipboard. Command-control-shift-4 is what you're looking for.

  • I can't paste text into info boxes anymore with the latest version of itunes

    Ever since I downloaded the latest version of itunes (on Windows 7), I can no longer paste text into the info boxes when I edit song information. I can’t paste by right-clicking or Ctrl+V, this is driving me crazy because I’m trying to add info on a Russian artist with Cyrillic letters and I can’t do it! I didn’t buy the song from itunes so it can’t be issues with Copyrighting although the same thing happens with songs from the store and every other song in my library. I can paste text into the lyrics section but that’s it. I restarted my computer after reinstalling the latest versions of itunes and Firefox today hoping it would fix my problem but it didn’t. Is this happening to anyone else? I hope someone can help me! Oh and it isn’t just with Russian, I tried to paste English info just to see if it was a problem with recognizing Cyrillic and still nothing pastes, the boxes just stay blank.
    Itunes is annoying me more than ever. With the constant updates you’d think they would be able to improve all bugs but once one problem is fixed another occurs and it’s so irritating because I couldn’t care less about how my library looks as long as everything is organized in a simple way and I can sync my ipod without spending forever on itunes re-editing stuff and readjusting to updated layout changes. Apple’s attempts at making things look “cool” isn’t worth the F-ing constant problems which matter more! Okay, rant over

    That would be Manually manage, not Manually syncing.
    Click the drop down arrow at top left the Show menu.
    Then iTunes menu View > Show sidebar.
    Select the iPod then you can select the Summary tab.

  • I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field(prefix only) while saving files.

    OS: WinXP sp3
    FF: 3.6.3
    I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field (prefix only) while saving files. example: File name is Pic123.jpg and I want to rename it ABC123.jpg and I have ABC loaded into the WinXPsp3 clipboard. When I highlight\right-click\delete "Pic" then attempt to paste the ABC, I get either no reaction, or upon multiple paste attempts, the ABC is appended to the end of the file, after the extension, as "Pic123.jpgABC". If I delete this unwanted suffix, or repeat the process several times, eventually I can delete the unwanted portion of the prefix and paste the desired text. Sometimes it works fine first try, but mostly it takes several tries. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 but the problem existed in whatever previous version I had too. This issue only occurs when using the delete/paste; I can always manually change the name by typing. Thank you for your help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?

    why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?  I have adobe acrobat pro XI.  I can open a pdf in acrobat pro and am able to add text to a pdf, but when I open a pdf in firefox, the "add text" option is not available.

    When you install Acrobat XI you are also installing Reader for use in the browser. Reader is "sandboxed", or as it says in the Preferences, it is in "Protected Mode". Acrobat does not understand the concept of running in sandboxed memory (sandbox is a security feature to prevent the bad guy from exploiting a memory error and getting into a memory address where they can do damage to your computer) so to help protect Acrobat users the same way Reader users are protected we just install Reader along with Acrobat, but it is only used in the browser (part of this is because the bad guys use web sites as their primary method of distributing corrupted PDF files that can cause problems).
    That said, because you are in Reader the file needs to be Reader Enabled prior to being posted to the web site (or opened in the browser). Once the file is Reader Enabled you should be able to add the text annotations.

  • How to copy and paste text into email without HTML gibberish

    I've had trouble for some time now copying and pasting text into and out of yahoo emails. I can't just copy and paste text, I have to first transfer to Word for Mac and then paste into a yahoo email. Then I end up with what looks like three lines of HTML gibberish at the start of the pasted text each time. Isn't there a clean and direct way of copy and paste of text into and from emails in yahoo? No other email I work with has this problem, and the Safari browser doesn't give this same issue
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == some recent Firefox update, I think

    I have to agree with bmalmquist.  Need for Speed seems to work great on the Playbook.  I didn't buy the Playbook to play games though.  RIM needs to shift their focus from games to useful and productive apps.  The apps I need to use are either missing very important features, or are just completely missing.  It is somewhat disconcerting to see new apps appear in App World only to discover that the new apps are mostly games.  I'm seeing lots of apps that would help me waste time, but very few that will actually help me be more productive.
