I trying to figure out how to copy and paste text from illy to indesign. When I do it, it paste like an image in InDesign... I tried selecting the text and copying the text frame... no luck!

I know it's crazy, but you have to paste something from InDesign into Illustrator first. It happened to me at work recently, and after some Google searching I found this technique. May involve restarting applications at one point.

fuck, no luck :(
But I have an alternative solution. Into ID, make a text box, type something and then, right click > edit on story editor (someothing like that) and paste your text on it. Apply style and you are done. Annoying but its a solution for now.

Assuming you're using a Mac, what version of OS X are you running?
There was an issue with one of the latest updates that made this a problem.Have you tried dragging from illy into ID? That works for me.
