Why do objects get bigger when I copy and paste from one Keynote document to another?

I have 2 keynote presentation files open. I select some objects on one slide, apple-C to copy, go over to a blank slide in another file, and apple-V to paste. The item(s) get pasted but are much bigger - they take up way more of the new slide than they did for the old one.  What am I missing? Why can't I copy it with the same relative size it used to have?

Chances are that small file used to be a PowerPoint file - PowerPoint deals in inches instead of pixels (which blows my mind).
I would first convert the smaller file to a larger resolution - that should keep most of the scaling intact - and then copy and paste. In my opinion you'll probably have to re-polish your presentation once you've changed the resolution as some things will probably be a bit wonky.

  • How can i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to another?

    Trying to shuffle around the rows as part of an everchanging schedule.  When i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to the other, the images overlay each other as if i were litterally cutting them out of paper and then sloppily pasting to another. Is there a way to set them up so crosscutting is more seamless in appearance?

    JRC,
    The reason you get that result is that you are pasting the rows to the canvas of your second document instead of into an existing table.
    Instead, make a large blank table in your receiving document and paste into that table only after clicking on the cell where you want the first cell of the copied data to be positioned.

  • Why do colors come over as Color Book swatches when I copy and paste to a new document?

    Why do colors come over as Color Book swatches when I copy and paste to a new document? Original document has CMYK spot color swatches. I copy them and paste them in new document and it gets converted to a Color Book swatch. Why?

    Check the spot color options of that document.
    It's in the swatches panel's menu.

    Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
    At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.

    Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

  • When I copy and paste from Word to my e-mail using Firefox it changes the font and spacing to single and 10pt. It just started doing this a month ago. It does not do it when I am on my laptop or using Explorer. Help, I hate explorer.

    If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
    Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.
    Shortcuts and workarounds tend to create awkward and difficult problems, that often only surface late in the process.

  • When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.

    When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.  I have tried changing the cell formats for that column from "automatic" to "text", but that doesn't fix it.  Is there a way to copy/paste this information without changing the original characters?

    If you know how many rows/columns you are planning to paste, then make the table that big BEFORE you paste.  In addition select all cells in the table by selecting any cell, then type the key combination <COMMAND>+a (for select all.
    Then use the cells inspector to make the cells formatted as text:
    I hope this helps

  • (v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

    I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

    To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
    Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

  • How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

    How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

      Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
    Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

    If you open both documents, you can drag a page from the Pages panel (on the left of the window) of one document and drop it into the Pages panel of another.
    You can also extract one or more pages from a document to create a new document, and then insert the pages from this new document into another. In Acrobat 11 you 'd do this by doing:
    Tools > Pages > Extract
    and then:
    Tools > Pages > Insert from File

  • Does anyone know how to copy and paste from a pdf document?

    I am trying to copy and paste from a pdf document to put on facebook, but I cannot highlight the text I want to copy.
    Any suggestions???

    It is a generated pdf doc. I can highlight the text, but as soon as I let go of the mouse button, the highlighting disappears. If I right-click the mouse, there is no copy/past option. Only a select, zoom and marque tool option.

  • Swatch palette becomes full of unused colors when copy and paste from one document to another!!

    sometimes (i haven't found a pattern yet of when) when i copy and paste an object that is solid black (for example) into another Illustrator document, a bunch of unused swatches copy into the swatch palette for no reason! lots of "default global colors" and PMS swatches. i then have to 'select all unused' and delete them all to clean out the palette (which always seems to stall while thinking when selecting or deleting them). often times i get the global swatch warning (always 2x, not just once) before placing an object and before the whole swatch palette fills up with unused colors.
    this has only happened recently in the last few months and i have been using Illustrator for years so i'm not sure what's stemming this. a new update? has anyone else noticed this problem and know a solution? is there a preference checked somewhere that i don't know about?
    guess i should mention i'm on CS3 Illustrator running MAC OS 10.5.6
    thanks,

    I've had this problem before as well and it has to do with a currupt file that your coppying from. It's too complicated to explain here so here is my fix for it.
    I take the file and save it down or up in CS1. Open infected file in CS1. Create a new file in CS1 the same size as the one you've opened. Select all and drag and drop into the new empty file. Don't copy paste, it must be dragged into the file. You can then delete all global colours and save your file. The curruption will be gone. There's a way to check suspect files to see if they have the deleted global colours present. Open your suspect file in a text editor like simple text, scroll down a little way and if you see a bunch of lines of code mentioning "deleted global colours" then you know it's infected and has to be fixed.
    Hope this helps
    Here is another idea from a bit of research I just did. Don't know if this works or not but you might want to give it a try and it explains the issue in more detail

  • How do I copy a page from one Pages document to another using Pages 5.0?

    I posted this question on another page, and haven't recieved an answer to it yet. However I have found a temporary solution, so I am posting this here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
    The issue here is that I have just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Maverick (10.9.1), and my Pages also upgraded (to 5.0.1), altering my Pages documents. This is the issue, as as far as I can see the new Pages does not offer some of the basic needs that the old Pages did! In other words it is worse than the previous version.
    Using the upgraded new Pages 5.0.1 seems to result in some major editing problems for me. If you upgrade, make sure you KEEP the old version of Pages 09 (v 4.3). That is what has saved me!  If you have the same problems I have had - explained below, you will still be able to close the new version and open your Pages document in the old version, provided it is not a new Pages document. If it is, it will be possible to export it as a Pages 09 document and edit properly.
    After upgrading to the new Pages 5.0.1, when I open documents in Pages and try and copy a section from one document to another (easy before using the thumbnails) many of the Menu items previously available are visible but appear faded and are not possible, including Insert>Section Break/Page Break/Page Number and Edit>Cut/Copy/Delete/Undo/Redo
    This even happens if I duplicate the Pages document and try and do any of these from the Duplicate (which should be an easily editable copy).
    My solution has been to simply open all Pages documents that Iwant to edit (or may want to edit in future) in the old Pages app (v 4.3), which I never got rid of. That has meant I can continue editing and copying a section (of 1 or more pages) from one Pages document to another.
    If anyone reading this has figured out a way to edit Pages documents using the new version 5.0.1 please post an explanation, and I will try it!

    And there are those who don't like me repeating the same message over and over again in this forum!
    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
