Paste from Microsoft Word into Adobe Illustrator... problem

Hello gang, I am a professional Letterer drawn and I recently decided to upgrade using TextEdit to use Microsoft Word for all of my copy paste script that I have to do.

In TextEdit, when I copy a page from a comic script it will be then paste into Adobe Illustrator beautifully. Retains formatting very well and line breaks (can't remember makes bold or in italics, but good). However, when I paste from the Word version of the same script, all line breaks disapear, leaving me with a big block of text, making it difficult for me to easily find the dialogue used in the page.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Is this a known problem with Word? I can't find anything on the net.

I'm using Word 11 for Mac version 14.2.1 I think it's and Adobe Illustrator CS3 for Mac.

Under Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro for what it is worth. 10.6.8 verion

Thank you

When I tried to place a 12-page Word doc in Illustrator CS5, similarly said John_Danek, I could see a small sign on the bottom right of the text box. If you double-click this text box, you can see page 2 of the doc. Similarly, you can view all the pages of your Word document in Illie.

OR

Register your content in a PDF and then place the PDF in Illustrtaor. This will help you retain formatting as well as allows you to select the page numbers in your document that you want to place.

  • How to transfer text from microsoft word in the body of the email without errors in the form.

    Whenever I try to copy and paste a document in the body of an e-mail (in hotmail) the result is that hotmail changes the formatting of it. Hotmail will add spaces between lines that were not there before. It is very annoying and is wasting my time. To make things even worse, sometimes the formatting appears when I'm composing the mail, but when the mail gets actually to the beneficiary of the formatting is messed up. It makes me hurt people, especially the employers to whom I send my letter of motivation in this way. This happens not only to copy and paste form microsoft word. It happens when I copy Adobe and the internet explore and almost all the other programs out there also. Of more, not only to change the spacing, but this can change the size of the text too. Do you know how I can fix this error?

    Hotmail and other e-mail clients may change the behavior of the Enter key to give two lines instead of one.  If you use SHIFT-ENTER in Word, then he may interpret as a single line.

    But if you are corresponding with people professionally, I would suggest that you get an email address that does not depend directly from Hotmail or other free e-mail services.  You can easily register your own domain name and get email from that or you can subscribe to more reliable services is Hotmail.

    In addition, if you want to continue to use Hotmail, the right forum to address issues of Hotmail is here: www.windowslivehelp.com

    Your answer does not solve the problem, but he did something worse either.

    I have it fixed now though it was a security issue blocking MicrosoftOffice to link to all connected devices.

  • Paste files into Adobe Illustrator 18.1.1

    Hello

    I can't paste a 2.5 mb from photoshop .psd image to illustrator using the copy and paste command. I've just set up a new Mac with new installs of everything and I've had this problem before with the same versions of the software. Basically when I select an image on a layer in PS and press copy, I then switch to Illustrator and hit the dough, that nothing is happening. Well, I say nothing happens, so think about it and then does nothing. As I mentioned the image is a 2.5 MB .psd . When I select a crop of the image, it copies more fine and as expected. Also if I save the image under a single .psd file and open it in illustrator it opens fine. It just seems to be a problem when I select all on layer in PS, copy, then paste into Illustrator.


    No one knows what is the problem. The image is not that big to 2.5 MB and I have a powerful Mac, the size of the image should not be a problem? It seems that it won't let me paste the enlarged image but will allow me to paste a harvest reduced from exactly the same source file?

    Thank you

    It should be no problem to copy and paste 300 ppi images from Photoshop to Illustrator. I just stuck a (which indicates the Photoshop) 40 MB file without problem.

    Photoshop will warn you if the Clipboard is too large.

    I suggest to reset the Illustrator preferences.

  • Copy/paste from Microsoft outlook crashes CS5?

    Note: This is not a new error, this happened for several months, but did not initially. I don't know when the change came, but since the addition of cloud, it seems to happen more often.

    When copying and pasting the text from Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, if she is not pasted into an existing text box, Illustrator crashes everytime.

    When I copy and paste images from Microsoft Outlook 2007, Illustrator blocking 90% of the time, except when the program is first opened its doors after crashing.

    The current solution in screenshots and paste from tool cutting and trying to always make sure that there is an available text box, but it is frustrating to lose work when does not save a copy/paste in the program and the last thing on the Clipboard is from Outlook.

    No one knows why this happens? It is only from Outlook, if I copy and paste from any online source, Word, excel is no problem.

    I can't imagine (the reasons of) a workflow where you are systematically copy/paste text from Outlook Illustrator. Paste text directly from a program potentially applies to any amount of markup hidden is misguided and that includes all of Microsoft Office. When it works, you're just lucky, I think. Is not the answer you want, but for what it's worth, I never would consider even copy/paste from any desktop application in any Adobe application without an intermediate step to stick to and copied-from a text editor.

  • Acrobat Pro DC freezes when creating a PDF from the Clipboard and gives an error message when you create a pdf from Microsoft Word 2016.

    Two weeks ago I have upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro since Acrobat Pro XI DC. Create a PDF from Clipboard in appearance from a status bar results, lessons for 25%, at which point Acrobat "freezes" "." " Similarly, when using the feature to create a file PDF in Microsoft Word 2016, a progress bar appears, gets to 25%, then the error message "Microsoft Word has stopped working", restart Word, and a message recommending that the Acrobat Add-in is disabled. I'm on Windows x 64 on a Lenovo X 1 carbon 10. Is there a "fix" to these questions?

    The word problem seems more likely to have a bug introduced by Microsoft in their last update for Word 2016, a couple of weeks. Someone posted a way to get Word to revert to a version:

    To revert to a version earlier office 2013 or 2016 Office in the form of installation of Office 365, you must use a command line and specify the build number, that you want to return.

    1. As Office 365 facilities are automatically updated in the background, you must disable the automatic updates first. This can be done in any application Office 365 via:
      File-> Office account-> Update Options-> disable updates
    2. Open a command prompt:
      1. Start-> type:cmd
      2. Click on: command prompt
      3. Choose: Run as administrator
      4. Provide your credentials to the administrator or to confirm the user account control dialog box when you are prompted.
    3. Type the command below that applies to your version of Office or Windows
      • Office 2016
        cd %programfiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\
      • 2013 office under Windows 32-bit
        cd %programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX86\
      • 2013 desktop on 64-bit Windows
        cd %programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\
    4. You can specify the number of bed to regain in the following way:
      officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=

      • Replace with the build number that you want to return. There is a preview of version numbers, you can return to the Office 2013 and 2016 Office.
      • Example to return to the release of January 2016 office:
        OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.6366.2062
      • Example to return to the release of January 2013 office:
        OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=15.0.4787.1002
  • Quality photo and text to PDF from Microsoft Word

    Hello

    I produce reports for clients in Microsoft Word using a Windows PC, and they include texts and photographs. Before sending it to the client, I print to Adobe PDF in Word.

    When you look at the PDF file using Adobe Acrobat X, text and photographs have always lost sharpness and accuracy compared to the original version of the word.

    Is there a a way to improve it using Acrobat please or is this a word problem?

    Thank you

    Anna

    Hi anna_123,.

    Please convert the Word file in format PDF of Acrobat itself once the changes below.

    Menu-> Preferences Edition-> convert to PDF-> MS Word-> change the settings from-> high quality printing.

    Let me know if there is no change.

  • Y at - it an alternative to the IndicPlus to copy paste from MS word?

    I'm new to inDesign, do history languages Punjabi already typed in MS Word, but when I copy paste on inDesign 5.5, it changes the text. Is it possible to fix this, or should I buy IndicPlus? If there is no best solution please advise, thank you

    My team in India typed using a keyboard online (google can be), above send it to me via facebook, I copied and pasted in ms word, edited for content and spelling, copied from there mistakes in inDesign, and here its all messed up.

    HM, well, if it's in the keyboard online Google, then chances are good that it is encoded. As Peter said, tell us the name of the fonts used in (Word and ID) will help.

    One thing to note: I have not tried to use one of these scripts for CS4 (I went out and bought global tools of in - Tools.com, it of great but has no specific Indic language tools) so that the script could not operate. Here's how to check: click on this little button in the upper right corner below the buttons enlarge/reduce to a minimum:

    If there is a check mark next to the Adobe paragraph composer or composer single Adobe... then the universal composer is not on. It is possible that the script will not work in CS5.5, is since then has been written for CS4. If the WRC is enabled, then there should not be any control here at all.

    Another place to look is in the menu of Justification:

    If the WRC is permanently on: then it may well be the police. I've never seen a script Punjabi police who worked in Word but not ID, but I have seen this in other complex script languages (Tibetan, Khmer).

    Finally, with regard to the question of how-to-communicate-with-Adobe: I think you have a very good reason to want to communicate your position at Adobe. However, we have some employees who post here regularly receive a bit when shady people that we are trying to help (for free!) message with anger on Adobe supposed problems. If we can understand that there is something really wrong here, that Adobe can fix, then I certainly will help you find a way to communicate with real employees of Adobe (whether by the feature request form, or by starting a pension case).

  • Bug? Quote simple copy and paste from MS Word

    I don't know if this is a bug or not. Whenever I have a copy of MS Word with single quotes (for example, it is just a 'test') and put it inside an af:inputText field, save the value in a Java bean and then retrieve it for editing, single quotes become a reversed question mark (i.e., it's just a ¿test¿) this is only the case every time I have copy the text from MS Word. Copy from Notepad or Wordpad, but also enter manually the text not produce the bug said.

    Does anyone have an idea about this problem?

    Thank you.

    -rolly

    ... and no, I don'think it's a bug because you are facing a character conversion, which for example also happens when copying and pasting from Word to Powerpoint

    The question is: how to caress the entire "A"? So I just get a line around the 'A' and not for every small path?

    You could do a form composed out of it. (see the manual for more details)

    You can group together them, and then add a line and use pathfinder-effect 'Add '.
