Problem cut from word paste into Quark

jamesdean888 · Apr 28, 2005, 06:56 AM

I hope someone can help....

i have recently joined the Mac fraternity and am having a proble with word and quark.... i imagine there is a perfectly simple answer.

I seem to be unable to copy text from word and paste it into Quark files.

When trying to Paste into a text box within a quark file i get the 'ping' sound as it fails to paste.

I am able to cut and paste text from word into other files but not Quark

Any ideas

What versions of Word, Quark & OS X are you using?

Can you paste into TextEdit documents?

Can you 'Get Text' OK into the text-box? Apple-E

Thanks for the reply

Its quark 6
imag G5
unsure of the word version
Mac os X 10.3

Yes i can paste into the text edit program
Yes i can 'get text' - but that transfers the whole doc into the text box, not selcted parts

???

Weird.

You do have the content tool selected when you try to paste, don't you?
Just checking...

What about resaving the Word document as a plain text file and trying that?

BTW: I recommend installing the Quark 6.1 & 6.5 updater.

The problems dont appear to be with the word file....

I will continue to rack my brains, but thanks for the ideas

Pretty sure you need to be running at least Quark 6.1 for Panther 10.3.

I'm having the same problem (also Quark 6 in OSX). To get around it, I've been saving the text that I want to paste into a separate Word doc, then in Quark, with my cursor placed where I want to paste, I use the "Get Text" function from the File menu, and click on the new Word file that contains only the text that I want to paste. A hassle, but if you don't do it a lot, and you don't want to deal with the Quark Nazis, it works just fine.
