Mac OS and Mac OS X use different characters from Windows to indicate the end of each line in a plain text or Rich Text Format (RTF) file. Windows places both a line feed and a carriage return character at the end of each line, but Mac OS uses only a carriage return character, and Mac OS X sometimes uses carriage returns and sometimes uses line feeds (but usually not both). To modify the formatting of all the text formatted as Heading 1, there’s no need to select each line of text and apply the Word formatting individually. The easiest way is to reformat one of them, then use that to update the style.

You’ve just copied some text from a PDF using the selection tool and pasted it into your word processor. Why doesn’t the text reflow? Although PDF is primarily intended as an archive format, Acrobat users often want to take passages of text in a PDF and reuse them in a word processor or in email. For example, you may wish to cite part of an important court decision in a brief.

One frustration is that text copied from a PDF may have hard line endings. Depending on how the PDF was created, each line may have a paragraph return at the end. I am still having a problem when I need to quote from a transcript into a word processing document. In a transcript, each line is numbered on the left.

When I select a couple of lines of text, with the numbers, and then paste it, the pasted material behaves as if it were columns. In other words, it pastes the line numbers, one to a line, and then below the lines with the line numbers, it pastes the lines of text. It takes a long time to clean up.

Is there a way to make it read straignt across? EXAMPLE: If I select the following from a transcript – 1 THE COURT; So, you are offering this for bla 2 bla bla bla bla 3 MS JONES, your Honor, I would like it to come out as above.

Instead, when I paste it, it comes out as below: 1 2 3 THE COURT, So, you are offering this for bla bla bla bla bla MS JONES, your Honor Any way to fix this? It would be much appreciated. Thanks, Virginia.
