• Moving pointers to select text to copy moves screen

  Move pointers to select text to copy into a text file moves on the screen. I can't select text.

  Another problem is often one of the refuses to pointer up or down. I can't select all the text.

  I'm using Firefox 34.0.1 with a Motorola Droid 3 2.3.4 and Insignia tablet with android 4.4.2 Android smartphone.

  Hi badbiosvictim,
  Thank you for your question, I understand that there are two problems with the copy and past feature of Firefox for Android. The first is that when you go to copy a selection that the screen move and if you try to move the tail or head of the selection does not move.

  Try this, take a finger and hold the beginning of the selection of a selection for a second and then move it to the left or the right, does that help?

  For the copy and paste, when the selection is correct to keep tap on the selection for two seconds. There will be a toolbar of the icon at the top that has copy and duplicate. They look like http://cdn.gottabemobile.com/wp-conte.../Screen-Shot-2014-01-15-at-11.04.10-AM.png

  If the second extra hold does not work please after return.

• How to select text in CD player?

  How to select text, then copy the text in MS Word?

  Hi Edwin,.

  Make a right click anywhere on the page and choose the 'selection' tool, then you can drag it over the text and then right-click in the selection and choose 'Copy' and then switch application to MS word and paste there.

  If you are unable to select and copy text, either it's a scanned pdf document or it has implemented security restrictions.

  Kind regards

• Clipboard.AutoCopy = false in topic: config,-no effect. selection of text always copy to the Clipboard

  I have a custom firefox extension that captures data on the Clipboard, as well as a selected text in the document in firefox. It is, whenever I select the text, it replaces the data in the Clipboard with the data of selected text. The Clipboard is always mirroring my text selection. I need to turn it off. Alternatively, make sure that the selected text gets sent to primary Clipboard, while firefox extension accesses Clipboard. (I guess that nsIClipboard retrieves data from the Clipboard vs primary school-press-papers).

  I am convinced that selected text is poured in the Clipboard and not the primary Clipboard. Selected text always overrides everything I copied using Ctrl + C command. Central to the mouse click or Ctrl + V out same thing.

  I have changed the default setting in about:config to clipboard.autocopy value= false. I have restarted my system and selected text still saves to clipboard.  This issue does show up on this thread here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854565. But it is checked as solved. Apologies if this question should have been posted there. I am using Linux Mint 17, Firefox 32.0.3
  

  Any help much appreciated.

  I solved the problem. Firstly, I've updated all my software, which had no effect. Then I realized that another extension can add this feature. And voila! I'm sure that search the fastest was the culprit. I disabled the addon, even though this feature can probably be disabled.

  I hope this helps future users who face this same problem.

• CS6: create a simple extension: how to copy the selected text in the extension?

  Hello

  with this tutorial http://www.DWfaq.com/Tutorials/Extensions/simple_object.asp

  I created a very simple extensions in Dreamweaver CS6.

  But I can't find out how to get the code/selected text "in" this extension.

  I want to reformat the selection with the javascript code for the extension and replace the selected text.

  Thank you!

  mtemp

  Thank you very much for your answer!

  I didn't know the difference between these two methods - my google search for 'extension' led me directly to the old tutorial mentioned...

  And, Yes, I had to search long enough to find the 'object' extension on the fly on the menu...

  Now, I adapted the code referred to in the dreamweaver_cs5_extending.pdf for the creation of such an extension of command - and, wow, it works... with 'copy' the text selected in the extension form.

  So, thanks again! Now I'm on the right track

• Acrobat 9 Pro: cannot copy the selected text unless I have a highlighting of the text

  I highlighted the text in a document. When I go to copy this text, it selects the whole sentence. I right click, the menu starts with "set status. There is no option "copy". No control-C is successful. When I paste then, he pastes a previously selected text, not the text I'm trying to copy in Acrobat. The only way I found to copy the selected text to the United Nations is a development and then copy it. Are there other solutions?

  Thank you!

  Play with the Shift key... you will get it.

• Cannot select text through cursor more

  Hello

  Last week, something happened to my computer.  The mouse cursor has changed making it impossible to select/highlight text more.  The arrow has changed in the hand.  I was in Control Panel and tried to change this back like that, but nothing works.  I am unable to point to anything and make it happen.  For example, that I was unable to click in this area to type because it was a helping hand.  I had the right click on the mouse and press ESC to get the cursor here.  I have no idea of what has past and it's really annoying.  I'm on the computer all day for United and be able to highlight text to copy and paste.  This made it impossible to do so.  I really hope someone can help me.

  Thank you

• How can I change the text independently copied element?

  Hi, if I copy a text element, and then insert it, change the inserted, also changes the original text element. How can I change the text independently copied element? Thank you! The German Adobe Web site have no idea on the copy and paste text elements

  [title published by mod]

  It's because you copy the title, which creates a clone. Change and it changes the other.

  As I show in my book, Amazon, what you really want to do is title duplicate in right-clicked on it in the components panel of project and selecting two copies.

  A duplicate makes a copy of the title, but this copy is independent and any changes that will make her to this single copy.

• How to select text on several pages of the PDF document

  I really could use your expertise.  I know that some people will say it is not a question of Acrobat, but I think it might be.  I scanned the 3 pages and saved in PDF format.  When I open the file it opens in Microsoft Document Imaging.  I have ocr and then I save it to PDF and open it in Acrobat 8 Pro.  I need to select text in the 3 pages and can only find a way to select the text on the first page?  I don't want to retype this information if any suggestion would be great.  I tried to save to tiff, but that no longer works.  I have a lot of reports I have to scan and then select text and cut and paste to word.  Is there a better product to achieve?  Remember that documents will be scanned.

  Thank you.

  Since you have OCR has analysis and the PDF file contains text, the easiest way is to use Save as and select DOC. Don't expect formatting and others to be preserved, but typing must be intact. The other option is to a continuous page view and highlight the entire document, then copy and paste the word. Yet once, you won't have to preserve formatting and others. Other than that (which, from what I've read, what you asked), I'm not clear on what you are after.

  No, I should have checked earlier.

  It is a way to make fast her... it is to do it, it should work ok, but this isn't the 'best' way to a view OBJECT-oriented programming.

  When you test using test movie, the trace command can steal the focus the first time that a trace output appears. I suggest to remove the instructions of tracing to see that it works properly.
