  • text not pasting – why??

    Posted by Scott G on November 14, 2005 at 8:04 am

    I’m trying to paste some text into AFX from notepad. I’ve also tried from Illustrator. It doesn’t want to paste, no matter how much or how little text I select. I can paste from Illustrator to notepad, or from notepad to Illustrator, but when I copy and go to AFX, the “paste” command is greyed out, and control+V does nothing.

    ???????????????

    Thanks,
    Scott.

    Did you start a text layer first??? then paste it?? You cant just copy text and go into ae and paste it and hope that it will create its own layer and everything.

    Hope that helped
