Why, when I copy and paste a shape are the rest of the pages in the doc being deleted?

I am trying to add an identical formatted shape below the first formatted shape, but when I select, copy, paste, it is deleting the following pages of the doc.  If I'm not careful, I will lose the rest of the doc.  What is going on? 
If I select the shape I want to copy, it is outlined in blue and under Arrange the Group/Ungroup options are greyed out. 
There is plenty of space for the new pasted image on the page and I just click below the original image being copied to paste it. 
And sometimes there is this thick blue line at the top of the page when copy/paste -> dissapear.  What is that?
Also, a pasted object always defaults to Inline instead of Floating, so a new image snaps to a grid.  Anyway to change that? 

Sorry I didn't notice that you are on iOS.
There are two kinds of Pages documents, Word Processing and Layout.
Word Processing documents have text on every page that automatically flows on to the next page if it does not fit on the current page. A page only is shown on screen if it has text on it. Floating objects don't count.
If you have a complicated set of objects with wrap pushing text out of the way and text being consequently pushed over to the enxt page, odd things can happen as that text, which includes invisibles like returns, spaces, tabs, page breaks etc push over to the next page or flow back to previous pages as you move objects and make room for the etxt or not.
Layout documents, do not auto flow from page to page. Each page is an individual section and things stay where you put them.
It sounds like you may be better off using a Layout template for your work. Choose one from the Template/Document Chooser.

  • 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.

    When I copy and paste from illustrator to PS regardless of option chosen the original shape size is lost, instead of true size shape tries to fill entire width. Same happens when using the new library assets.
    Fix?

    Can't always make sense of its effect, but I suspect what your seeing comes under the influence of Photoshop > Preferences > General > Options > Resize Image During Place

  • Know any reason why color swatch coverts to black when I copy and paste into another document?

    I keep having issues when I copy and paste a table from one document to the next. Some of the PMS ink colors convert to black. Anyone have a clue?

    In colors in the table or elsewhere in the file? Are you using table or cell styles? If so, did you define new ones or redifine the defualts? The general principle to remember when moving content from file to file is that anything like styles or swatches that appear with the same name in both documents will use the definition from the receiving file.
    Anothe possibility, though less likely, is that you've used the ink manager to alias the spot color to black.

    You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.
    Or even better while the iPhone is connected to my PC can I view the address book on the iPhone and make changes using my PC keyboard?
    No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

  • Why doesn't copy and past style copy the borders?

    Why doesn't copy and past style copy the borders?  For some reason it copies the style of the characters or numbers themselves but not any border formatting.  Why is this?

    Alasdair,
    It would be speculation to try to guess what is going on with borders when using Copy Style and Paste Style, unless you know more about what is going on than I do. Sometimes border style is Copied and Pasted, sometimes it isn't. Based on my observations, it depends on the pattern of borders. I suppose that there could be an assignment of a shared border to one cell and not to the adjacent cell, so when copying the style you may or may not capture the border style based on which cell was selected during the Copy. I don't think it is possible to Copy/Paste a Style pattern, and I can't say why.
    I find that it's most efficient to create a table with the desired pattern of border styles and to Copy data and Paste and Match Style into the table. I suppose that you have noticed that when you Copy an entire table, you capture the Style of that table. So, copy the Styled table and then paste the data into it.

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail.  Word worked in nothing.  I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email.  Is there a way to do this?

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

    When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
    This does not happen in Safari.
    (Mac OSX 10.6.4 with Firefox 3.6.6).

    Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

    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.
    Thank you!

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

  • Muse 2014.2 : when I copy and paste svg from Illustrator to Muse, i have no transparency.

    Hello. Muse 2014.2 : when I copy and paste svg from Illustrator to Muse, i have no transparency. Only by importing saved svg file I have transparency.
    In official Adobe (promo) Tutorial  in the same operation - svg is transparent, link: Import SVG | Adobe Muse CC tutorials
    Please help me!. It would be very usefull copy&paste svg with transparency.
    Andrew Maola

    Hi.
    Thank you for explaining the theory about rendering in Muse but something doesn't work.
    I'm running on Win7 - CC2014.2. on 2 different computers. Efe Of course the transparency displays correctly when I preview my page in the browsers (All browsers - also IE11).
    Also in preview mode svg is very good but in design mode
    In order to render the SVG at design time, Muse hands the SVG to Safari on the Mac and Internet Explorer on Windows and asks it for a bitmap. This bitmap is only used at design time and when viewing the site in a browser that does not support SVG. Unfortunately, the bitmap returned by Internet Explorer strips out partial transparency. Fully transparent pixels should be preserved at design time and all transparency should be preserved when you actually view your site in the browser.
    We have not seen or heard of differences in the handling of transparent pixels between copy/pasting and save/import. Hence, I'm wondering if the copy/paste issue is only with partially transparent pixels and if the case that succeeds in a save/import workflow is for fully transparent pixels. To be clear, this transparency issue should only be during design time on Windows. There shouldn't be any issues on the Mac or in the browser.

  • 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

    Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

  • When I copy and paste an image from Word for usage in a Framemaker document it becomes blurred.

    Hi,
    I am saving graphics from Word for usage in a Framemaker document. When I copy and paste the file into photoshop it becomes blurred and unusable. How do I resolve this? I have tried saving the file in it's highest resolution but that doesn't work either.
    Thanks,
    Niall.

    The problem has to be the image itself, but then you give us zero information.
    We don't even know what platform you are on, Macintosh or Windows, what exact version of the OS, of Photoshop, or Word you are using, how you are getting what kind of image from Word, etc.
    It could be that you're just copying the low resolution thumbnail preview from MS Word, but we know nothing about its dimensions, resolution or format.
