Paste the text formatted in inDesign

Hi all

I'm trying unsuccessfully to paste text formatted in InDesign CC (2015)

I tried the following:

Preferences ()Clipboard handling > option button for pasting of formatted text) in InDesign are defined to manage information. No chance!

I tried with different formats, .rtf, .doc, etc., using the show import options when placing the text. No luck.

Can someone guide me in the right direction?

  • Paste the text copied without formatting in the form fillable

    I created a PDF form to be completed online for my clients who copy and paste a large amount of information to ensure accuracy. There are several fields that are marked as multiline and formatting so that the field adapts most of the information, however, when customers are copy and paste the information that they are facing two problems:

    1. He is coming with the source rather than the defined field of formatting formatting
    2. When they try to paste several lines of text, it is not wrapped in the field as it should. Instead, he says that he can not paste the text and runs to the end of the field, even if there is a lot of room below.

    This form was created using acrobat and fill using reader. Are there solutions to these two problems?

    Under the Options tab of the field properties window, is the 'allow Rich Text Formatting' selected? If so, that probably the reason and it must behave as you want, when it is turned off. If yo don't want the user to be able to enter more text than the field can display, you should also deselect the option "text long scroll.

  • Keep the text format when replacing text

    Hi - I'm updating in indesign pages with 100 + boxes of text block containing prices / Cup/etc (not all threaded together, each thread is homogeneous). I need to replace the contents of these boxes with new content, but every time I put the new text, she brings with her fitness and I have to select everything and re - format text imported to the text format it replaced. I'm pulling my text in xls and converting it to plain text in text editing before placing it in my page layouts. I've never had this problem before and can not know if I messed up a preference or what. Previously, when I placed the new text, it took on the formatting of whatever it replaced. I work in CS5.

    Thank you!

  • How to get the text formatting in the tables

    Dear experts and aid

    For my project, I import an RTF file and then read the data into 3 tables. It works fine when just using the contents of the string of paragraphs. However, the final script should be able to read and to replace the text formatted...
    Why use intermediate tables? Because otherwise I need to swap between two fm-documents (and you can be a part of the book).

    The imported file starts with a certain number of lines separated into two parts by a TAB ("designates a TAB in \x08 FM)
    [[Garneau, 1990 #12]]    »   [9]
    The good article can also be locally as text, e.g. [9]
    Then follow the same (or smaller) number of paragraphs with text formatted like this:
    [9]"D. Garneau, ed., National Language Support Reference Manual (national language Information Design Guide. Toronto, CDN: IBM National Language technical Centre, 1990.

    Is it possible to replace in the body of the function below the next song

      while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {
        pgfText = GetText (pgf, newDoc);
        gaBibliography.push(pgfText);
        pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
      }
    

    with this

      while(pgf.ObjectValid()) { 
        gaBibliography.push(pgf);
        pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
      }
    

    Do I need a special statement of the gaBibliography range?
    And how to get the right part of the lines as formatted intro thingy in table gaFmtCitsFmt ?

    Currently, I read in the tables as "strings" (function GetText not shown):

    var gaFmtCitsRaw  = [];                           // left column in processed RTF
    var gaFmtCitsFmt  = [];                           // right column in processed RTF
    var gaBibliography= [];                           // bibliography lines from processed RTF
    // filename is something like E:\_DDDprojects\FM+EN-escript\FM-testfiles\BibFM-collected-IEEE.rtf 
    
    function ReadFileRTF (fileName) {
      var nCits=0, nBib = 0, openParams, openReturnParams, newDoc, pgf, pgfText ;
      var TAB = String.fromCharCode(8);               // FM has wrong ASCI for TAB
      var parts = [];
      
      openParams = GetOpenDefaultParams();
      openReturnParams =  new PropVals();  
      newDoc = Open (fileName, openParams, openReturnParams);  
      pgf = newDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;  // get first pgf in flow
    
    // --- read the temp/formatted citations  
      while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {
        pgfText = GetText (pgf, newDoc);
        if (pgfText.substring (0,2) == "[[") {        // citation lines start with [[
          parts = pgfText.split(TAB);                 // get the two parts of the line
          gaFmtCitsRaw.push (parts[0]);               // Push the result onto the global array
          gaFmtCitsFmt.push (parts[1]);
          pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
        } else { break }
      }
    
    // --- read the bibliography
      while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {                      // until end of doc
        pgfText = GetText (pgf, newDoc);
        gaBibliography.push(pgfText);
        pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
      }
      newDoc.Close (Constants.FF_CLOSE_MODIFIED);
    } // --- end ReadFileRTF
    

    The following questions will then be how to change the script of FindAndReplace of Ian Proudfoot for managing text formatted as replacement. I will need to use the copy and paste IMHO...

    Klaus, okay, before pasting, you must assign the TextSelection object at your insertion point.

    // Add a new paragraph after the current paragraph.
    var newPgf = oDoc.NewSeriesPgf (lastPgf);
    var textRange = new TextRange (new TextLoc (newPgf, 0), new TextLoc (newPgf, 0));
    
    oDoc.TextSelection = textRange;
    oDoc.Paste ();

  • How to paste the text as default text?

    How can I get FM to paste the text as text by default, instead of having to use 'paste special '?

    (Years ago a configuration file that can be changed, but memory fails me).

    The configuration file is maker.ini... There is one master copy of the FrameMaker application, but you should rather edit your own personal copy, which will replace the captain. You can find it in:

    • "\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Adobe\FrameMaker\" on Windows XP ".
    • "\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\" on Windows Vista and later versions. ".

    FrameMaker rewrites your copy whenever it comes out - so before you change the file, quit FrameMaker, otherwise it will just overwrite your changes. Then backup the file, just in case.

    The desired setting is ClipboardFormatsPriorities. It is very unlikely to already be present, but if this is the case, modify its value. Otherwise, add this line to the [options] section:

    ClipboardFormatsPriorities = FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, DIB, EMF, BMP, UNICODE, TEXT TEXT

    The above is the default setting. Change the order by yourself; You can use one of the following conditions:

    • ClipboardFormatsPriorities = FILE UNICODE TEXT, TEXT, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF, DIB, BMP
    • ClipboardFormatsPriorities = UNICODE TEXT, TEXT FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF, DIB, BMP

    Restart FrameMaker. No problem, go back to your backup of the file.

  • May not substitute the text format in the former document InDesing CS4...

    I opened an InDesign Cs5 document in InDesign Cs4, I created my own paragraph styles, but in trying to apply the text in the document, it will not take the police, just the colors.

    I tried to open the copy in word and Notepad, re - format, then copy and paste again in my InDesign document with no luck. I've used InDesign for many years and I never had this problem before, anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you

    This really, really looks like there is a style of character applied to this text as well.

    (This style of character can even be selected as default, so whenever you are trying to overwrite everything that you do is re - apply all over again.)

  • I unchecked "Check spelling as you type", but Firefox always stresses words cut-and-paste the text in some web applications. How can I stop doing that?

    I use an online web mapping application that has an entry of descriptive text boxes and stuff like that. Sometimes I copy blocks of text from a word-processing application in these input boxes because I can format the text in the wp. When I paste text blocks, Firefox don't the red wavy underline on the words he doesn't know. I already disabled "check spelling as you type" but it does make a difference. I don't want no Firefox to check the spelling on these blocks of text that I copy and paste. Sometimes I need to capture images of these blocks of text display in the mapping application and I want that they own. Thank you.

    Hi, cor - el, this isn't have a tick in the context menu. but I think I was just stupid on the problem because I restarted my browser and now the underline is not past. Thanks for the reply.

  • Cut and paste the text of the anchored text box?

  • How to show the white space of the text formatted?

    Hello

    I use Jdev 11.1.1.6.0 with ADF Faces.

    I have a requirement to show a text report page in recorded format. The report in text format is saved as a text report several records with each line containing the maximum 78 characters.

    Each drive is formatted with a space to display the data in the column. For example:

    SUMMARY

    -------

    Col1 Col2 Col3

    xyz1234 abc9999 mno1234

    ...

    The report data appears currently unformatted. It removes the white space and shows just with a few default spaces. Something like:

    SUMMARY

    -------

    Col1 Col2 Col3

    xyz1234 abc9999 mno1234

    ...

    Thus, you cannot read the data with the appropriate column header. If you query the table in SQL Developer, it shows with perfect formatting. Also our legacy Oracle Forms application to display with the correct format.

    Currently, I tried following, but it does not work:

    < af:outputText value = "#{row.rptText}" id = 'ot1' "

    inlineStyle = "do-family:"Courier New";" font-size: 12.0pt; »

    noWrap = "false" / >

    I tried this on af:column too, especially noWrap = 'false', but so far without success.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    If you can use a converter custom jsf (validation and conversion of entry) to change in the query using "pre" helped the (text with pre sourrounf) when the data is rendered. The converter must implement two methods. Then you can try to use ' ' as a space of unbreakeable instead of simple spaces.

  • Simple cut and past the text in JS please

    Hello world. A big problem I always had with Indesign, is that I can't seem to remove shift as a keyboard shortcut for cutting text. (This is the shortcut, I grew up with and could never get used to the use of Ctrl-X, that I prefer to use for other things). In my view, there is a fundamental bug which means that this shortcut will not work. (In the box keyboard shortcuts dialog, 'cut' is listed under the Edit menu. It works on the text boxes and objects when assigned to 'default', but not in the selected text when the 'text' option is used.)

    Therefore, I thought I'd try to assign the shortcut to a simple piece of JS code. Can someone give me the syntax if you please. Can follow programming languages, I am new to JS and despite playing for a few hours, that I can't seem to find the code to cut the selected text in the Clipboard.

    Thank you very much

  • Copy and paste the text moves

    I have several differences in my document. To save time, I duplicate the "spreads" and adjust.
    Im having trouble with duplicate it, copy & paste and copy and paste into the functionality of the place. My text moves out of the text frame.

    How can I fix? I don't have a baseline grid. And align to grid is set to none.

    Help, please.

    THX.

    It is possible, there is a text wrapped under the chassis, but I see that the text on the right has shifted very slightly down compared to the image, and I suspect it is either a case of high medallion of the page change or the text is printed to align with a baseline grid.
