    Indesign CS4 - copy and paste issue

    davemachews Community Member
      Hello,

      I just installed Indesign CS4 on a Mac 10.5.5 system and I am using Microsoft Word 2004 with the software.

      The issue is when I copy and paste a graph or a clipart from Word 2004, I can paste the copied image in the INDD document. When I try to copy a second graph or image, Indesign will paste the original image.

      I thought that clipboard may have been the issue and restarted the computer to empty the clipboard. Again, the same issue happens when I copied an image and the program somehow locks into that image.

      Also, as soon as the graph/clipart is pasted in the indesign document, somehow, it becomes a link which should not be case if you are simply copying and pasting.

      Here are some troubleshooting I tried:

      - I trashed the preferences folder from the library folder
      - created a new user account wiht admin priveleges
      - restarted mac in safe boot
      - created a new indesign document and a word document

      Any thoughts?
