Why is there no copy and paste in place option in Adobe Captivate?

Although this is a wish list item, I do not understand why the item I am pasting always shifts 10pixels on the x & y scale??

Hi there
From what I'm reading, it would seem that you are making some assumptions about Captivate. I say that because of your statement:
A simple explanation as to why this feature was removed from this Adobe product would be great!
And here's my simple explanation.
Although Adobe is now the owner of Captivate, it wasn't always so. Prior to Adobe, Macromedia owned it. Prior to Macromedia, eHelp corporation owned it and it was known as RoboDemo. And prior to eHelp corporation, Nexus Concepts owned it and it was known as FlashCam.
Adobe took the simplest route possible when they "removed" the feature. The simplest way was never to have ever added the feature in the first place!
Cheers... Rick

  • Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

    Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

  • Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

    I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

  • Why can't I copy and paste from Illustrator to Flash?

    I have this silly but frustrating problem. I've drawn a
    series of objects in Illustrator and have copied and pasted many of
    them into separate frames in Flash and all of a sudden they won't
    paste. There are 3 objects I'm trying to paste onto each frame and
    2 of them will paste, but 1 won't. I don't have anything locked and
    I have no clipping masks in Illustrator. They will copy and paste
    in Illustrator. I've tried copy and pasting them separately, I've
    tried opening a new Flash document and pasting, I've tried
    restarting my computer. Does this sound like just another freak
    thing or does anyone have any ideas? Is there some keyboard
    shortcut I might have bumped in Flash to change some hidden
    setting...? But then why is it just 1 of the 3 objects that won't
    paste?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I think I tried all the options and none worked. Even so, the clipboard options say "Clipboard on Quit". That sounds like it has nothing to do with between active programs.
    I'm able to paste from CS5 TO CC though.

  • Keynote and transfer of presentations why can't I copy and paste?

    Hey Community!
         I've always been a Mac lover, but now....... I'm ready to do somethin'......  Very frustrated with update to new Mavericks and Keynote V.6.  I have updated my presentations from the previous version of Keynote into the new version.  I am trying to copy and paste elements from multiple seperates presentations into one presentation.  When I paste the presentation into my "master", the font size changes, format changes.  It's a pain in the (beep, boop, poop).
    I get a message:  OSX Spotlight search information was removed".
         I'm really confused.  Why can't one just copy and paste from one show to another when its in the same program!?

    If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible.   The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip.  If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through.  You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
    If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
    I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?

  • Why can't I copy and paste a document in an online class discussion?

  • Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

    Hi,
    I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
    Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
    Thanks,

  • Why can't you copy and paste text from the Dictionary widget?

    I use this dictionary often, but I wish that I was able to copy and paste the text from it.

    Just use the Dictionary application in the Applications folder. You will have no problem copying and pasting text from the full application. I just tried it and it works fine.

    You simply cannot have two files with the same name in the same folder.  No operating system will allow this.   Remove old page1 from folder before you copy & paste the new one.

  • Copy and Paste images to Word using Adobe Flex3

    I am trying to copy the images from Adobe Flex 3 application
    and paste it in the Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. I couldn't find
    any examples online. I am not sure whether I could do this using
    Adobe Flex3. I know this is possible with Adobe AIR.
    Could you please provide me an example for how to do this
    using Adobe Flex3?
    Thanks,

    Good question.  Make a local copy first, i.e. drag to your Desktop,  then drag to Word.
    If that does not work, open the image>command-A>copy  and paste into word.

  • Why can't I copy and paste from my notepad?

    I am trying to "copy" from my notepad and "paste" it to another site. It won't work!!  Is it the other site or something I am doing wrong??
