Why when I search either google (Search Labs | AI Overview), or chatgpt for questions, and I want to save the information in a .pages document does all the text not appear? Here's a screenshot as reference. The only option I've had work is copy/pasting the information into a google doc. Is there anyway I can paste this information into .pages?
Mac Studio, macOS 15.4
I have found the same thing. Google does not seem to allow us to copy/paste from their AI summaries. The only work around I've found is to capture what you want in a screen shot that you can then paste elsewhere.
How about copy/paste from chatgpt?
I've searched this on chatgpt, in the past, and chatgpt guides us on copy/paste into google docs.
Is there a way to paste this type of stuff into .pages from chatgpt?
cmd + shift + v opened the finder, to add an insert.
That might be because I'm using a wireless Logitech Mac Keyboard.
So, I tried cmd + option + shift + v and we have success.
Thanks, I was able to paste the info. from both google ai and chatgpc into .pages.
Copy the original Search Labs or ChatGPT content to the clipboard. Next, click on the Desktop and press shift+cmd+U to open the Utilities folder. Launch the Terminal application.
Now, you are going to take content from the clipboard, change its encoding, and put it back on the clipboard. Repeat each of the following command line solutions followed by pressing return. Before you perform the next one, launch Pages and try either of its paste operations to see if the respective encoding results in legible content.
pbpaste | iconv -t UTF8 | pbcopy
pbpaste | iconv -t ISO-8859-1 | pbcopy
If one of these works, then it can be automated in an Apple Shortcut to avoid dealing with the Terminal in the future.
Maybe try
cmd + shift + v
to paste?
VikingOSX,
Thanks for these commands. Both worked, converting the content to just text.
I think I'll stick with CMD + Shift + Option + V, since it keeps little symbols in the content, like: ✅
When I ask AI to summarize pages and then copy. Where is the copy?
Copy/Pasting from AI searches to Pages doesn't work.
