I have been able to cut and paste from some adobe documents before with success.  This latest document, downloaded from the VCAA website seems to be different in some way.  When you highlight text and copy it, then paste it into Word or Excel, all you get is a row of boxes instead of the font of the text.  How can I cut the text and paste it into Word or Excel so it looks exactly the same.  I am using Office 2000 in a Windows XP environment with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 professional.

Depending on how proficient you are with the software, you can use Word, Textpad or any other text editing software. As well you might choose Excel even. However, your best bet is (although it might be too late...) to take a course on Technical and Professional Writing. Your local community college should offer just such a course.\n\nIt's really not the 'tool' that will help you accomplish this; rather your understanding of the writing process (whatever form it takes: procedure, outline, et al.)\n\nI know this seems like a pet answer, and I'm not questioning your writing skills. Yet truly, if you plan on doing any professional writing, you should consider such a course. I am currently enrolled in one right now and the methods one learns are fantastic. \n\nOnce you learn how to write technically/professionally, it won't really matter what software you use. The best tool is truly the knowledge of how to do it.\n\nI really hope this helps.

You have to copy and paste.\n\n1. First, you'll need to select the text you wish to copy. You do this by putting your mouse cursor at the first character you want to copy and, holding down the left mouse button, drag the cursor to the last character you need copied. As you drag, you'll notice everything gets highlighted (selected).\n\n2. Next, right-click the selected area. Choose Copy from the menu that pops up (or you can use CTRL-C if you like keyboard shortcuts).\n\n3. Finally, right-click the area in your e-mail document where you would like to insert the word processor text. Click Paste from the menu that pops up (For this, CTRL-V is your keyboard shortcut).

The problem lies within word, which is notorious for not accurately inserting a copy and paste.  Also, if you copy and paste from a word document to a text document (most copy and paste into forms on the net are text) then you loose all formatting.\n\nThe best solution is to have 2 versions of your resume - one in word which you send as an attachment with an application, and one in notepad as a .txt document which you can copy and paste.\n\nBe aware, that .txt documents only have very basic formatting.\n\nYour resume should only have basic formatting anyway, as most recruitment agencies will copy and paste it into their own document (removing your personal details) to send to clients.

I think your best bet would be to just copy and paste.  You might lose your formatting, but if you don't mind rearranging some stuff, that'll work.  On the second toolbar from the top, there is a button that says "Select Text."  Click that, and the little hand goes away, and you now can select the text you want.  After you've picked what you need, click copy, and then paste it into Word.  Hope that's what you needed!

you can "save as" a word document in publisher 2003 (change the file type to Word) - not certain for earlier versions\nif you have an earlier one and it doesnt work - try copying and pasting between the two - I know that will work

One solution is to cut and paste images into the header of the document and move the image to the desired location and then close header.\n\nAnother solution would be to use tables and place the image and text inside the cells.  You should then be able to use 'format picture'.

Adobe never designed Acrobat to be a source format, so it can be difficult extracting data from them. I routinely do this to get information into Microsoft word, and no matter what I try, it usually messes up the tables at least a little, if not a lot.\n\nThere are 3 main tools I use. If you have Acrobat Professional, you can select "save as word file" and it will save the document as a word file... usually with messed up margins, columns, etc.\n\nYou can also use a program caled PDF 2 Office, whisch makes the same kind of conversion. Sometimes the tables come out better, sometimes not.\n\nThe last resort is using OmniPage or other OCR software. This is the only way if the PDF was created from a scan and not from a text file. The advantage of this one is that it handles tables better in most cases, at least keeping the majority of the data organized correctly. Sometimes it will misinterpret things like merged cells or divide a cell in half, but all the data should be in the correct location. The advantage of this is that your table is more visually accurate, the disadvantage for me is that when I take that to use in my document, some extensive cleanup work is required to make it meet our company standards. how well it works will depend on the size and complexity of your tables.\n\nOne other option to consider is Adobe Illustrator. It opens created (as opposed to scanned) PDFs beautifully. The downside is that it was never designed to output html. You will be able to access all the data and to have all the formatting retained virtually perfectly though. How to get it out of Illustrator into html though..  that would be your problem. I know you can output as SVG, but I suspect that you would prefer not to have your tables handled like graphics.\n\nPersonally I think OmniPage is your best bet. Once you have the table in Word, you can save as HTML and make further edits and adjustments from there.

Got to 'Slide Sorter View', right click on the slide you want, copy and just paste it into the word document. It works in Office 2003, I can't vouch for earlier versions.\n\nOnce you have pasted into the Word document you can modify the size of the slide.

Open a blank document by clicking Start -> Run... -> type Notepad then hit enter.\n\nType anything you want.\n\nHighlight what you typed by holding down the left mouse key and moving the cursor over your typed text (it should turn the backround blue and the text white of the highlighted items).\n\nPut the cursor anywhere on this blue background/white text area and right-click.\n\nSelect copy or cut (depending on what you want)\n\nOpen another document and right-click anywhere on the screen and select paste.\n\nThis works on most Windows text areas, including Word or most items on the web (you can copy pics this way too).

highligt the text..do this by clicking the left mouse button, holding down and running the mouse over the text.  then let go and the text should be black or blue..or some color other than the original (highlighted). \n\nnext right click over top of the highlighted text. Click on copy in the menu.  Go to wherever you want to paste it and right click and click paste in the menu that comes up.\n\nOR\n\nafter highlighting the text on the keyboard push control (ctrl) and C at the same time (ctrl and c) this will copy the text.\nthen go to wherever you want to paste it.  click in that area and push control (ctrl) and v at the same time (ctrl and v)...this should paste the text!\n\ndon't worry about feeling stupid..it happens to everyone..\nhope this helps..usually it helps if you know two ways.

You have to copy and paste it.\n\nHow To Copy and Paste: \nTake your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text in the box below, then click and hold the left mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text. This should highlight the text. Now release the left mouse button. Now, with the cursor over the highlighted text, right click the mouse for options, and select 'copy'. Now over the empty box below, right click your mouse again, and select 'paste' and you will have copied and pasted the text.

Sure.  You can copy and paste the text into a text file, and save that.  You can also print the page to a PDF file, if you have the software capabilty, or to Microsoft Image Writer, if you have Office installed.  I believe you have some other options if you go to file --> send to.

If the Adobe PDF form is setup correctly, you should be able to simply click in the various fields and begin typing - they will be editable text fields.  If was not setup correctly - that is, there are no text fields - I believe you need to use Adobe Acrobat (full version, not reader) to create your own text fields, fill them in, then print.
