Oversized text and lack of pages when placing a word document (.docx)

I'm reposting this, since the last one seemed to get lost in the jumble:
When placing text from a word document (.docx) indesign only gives me three pages for a 118 long document.  Also, those pages are blank, and to access the text, I have to delete a few blank lines.  When I do this however, the text is grossly oversized.  Changing the font does not help, as even on 6 pt, the text is much larger than it should be.  Help?  I've tweaked import options (although I may not know enough to diagnose the issue I am having), changed the format of the file (.doc, rtf) nothing seems to work.
I am working in Indesign CS5.5 and here is a link to the document I am working with:

Any help you could provide would be awesome.
Thanks,

The problem is the page size. It's tiny lee than an inch wide and a bit over an inch tall. I'm not sure what you set up, but what you have now seems to have been made much smaller with the Page tool, perhaps.
Set your ruler units in your prefs with nothing open to a system you are comfortable working in (the doc is set up in Picas, now. Do you know how to work in Picas?), then create a new file the size you really want.

  • When placing a Word document in a frame, the text over fills the frame boundaries.

    When I attempt to place a Word document in an InDesign text frame, the text flows outside the boundaries of the frame. This also happens if I use the InDesign placeholder text.

  • Indesign CSS crashes when placing a Word document

    I can place images and other file types fine. but have been unable to place word documents, I save, save as, save as an older version of word. It is just appears to be loading, but becomes 'not responding' and I have to shut it down through task manager. I have been copying and pasting, but this is very unproductive. Please help. Thank you.

    Hello Peter,
    Thank you for all your help, I did not know you replied, so perhaps the email went into my spam.  I followed the instructions here: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-indesign-documents.html and did #8. It took a while, but I eventually found the culprit was a pasted image in the document causing trouble.

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up?  I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

    How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up?  I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

    Hi Rave,
    InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type.  I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document.  The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document.  That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do.  I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago.  I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
    Thanks,

  • How do I copy text and objects from pages to and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email

    Anyone know how I copy text and objects from pages and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email, thanks

    You can't expect Mail to support all the objects of Pages which can include anything up to charts generated from spreadsheet tables.
    Even if Mail was a superset of Pages, what would the recipients who don't have either Mail or Pages, make of it?

  • I use Pages ,when I close a document is it automatically backed up to the cloud

    When I use the app "Pages" when i close a document is it automatically backed up to the cloud. I worry if my computer crashes I have many documents that I do not want to lose. Or should I be backing up to a thumb drive... if tha is the case how do i do this from pages?

    If you plug in a thumb drive it'll show up in Finder. You can just copy your Documents folder to it. You might want to consider a Time Capsule, which will automatically back up everything on your Mac. It's very transparent, meaning once you set it up it takes care of everything. Additionally, it saves older versions of your files. Say you had a version last Thursday that was almost perfect, then you rewrote it and accidentally saved it. With Time Machine (the software that works with the Time Capsule), you can just go back to last Thursday and retrieve the old version.

  • How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

    How can I cut and paste from a webpage to a Word document without the document taking me to the web address when I click on a word in the document?

    You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

  • Dell VENUE 11 PRO 7140 keeps crashing when closing a word document

    Hello all,
    I'm having an issue with a VENUE 11 PRO 7140. 
    Every time that i try to close a word document, the computer crashes giving me this error: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. 
    On the eventviewer looks like TOASTER.EXE caused the problem...
    I know that that executable belongs to Dell data backup so i uninstalled it since it's an enterprise environment and we back everything up. I tried closing a couple of word documents and it worked fine.
    The issue happened again (BSOD) when i had the user logon and try to open one of her word documents..
    The other problem that i have is that i do not have full time access to that PC since the user needs to work with it. Had the chance to spend a couple of hours today but it doesn't seem stable.
    Another strange thing that might be related to that is that the App readiness service keeps stopping even though i configured it as automatic on startup and to restart after each failure...
    Any ideas what can probably cause this? Anybody has had any similar issues with this kind of tablet?

  • When typing a word document my laptop keeps sending the document

    Can anyone help - When typing a word document my laptop keeps sending the document when I start typing. Not sure why. Any help appreciated

    Hello
    I don?t know what you mean with laptop keeps sending the document but if you have this issue with office word or some other office application, try to check some forum where you can find discussion about similar theme.
    I can not give you any precise answer but it is maybe because of office specific settings or you press accidentally some key on the keyboard and on this way interrupt symbols entering.

  • When I receive word documents via my yahoo on my mac, the format always come up as a TEXTEDIT doc.  This is causing me serious problems.  How do I enable my documents to open in the original format it was sent?

    when I receive word documents via my yahoo on my mac, the format always come up as a TEXTEDIT doc.  This is causing me serious problems.  How do I enable my documents to open in the original format it was sent?

    Do you have Microsoft Word installed on your Mac? If so, you can reassign all .doc files to Word by selecting the file in Finder and choosing "File > Get Info" from the menu. In the window that opens look for "Open with" and change the entry to "Microsoft Word".

  • Can I bring digital Signatures and with a page when I extract it?

    I have a client who is adding their own digital signature to documents after reading them. Our current methodology involves extracting the page with the signature and adding said page to another adobe document for our records. However, the digital signature never follows. I am thinking this is by design, but I cannot find unequivocal confirmation. Does anyone have documentation or knowledge on this topic that will clearly state whether digital signatures cannot be copied when extracting pages, or if it can. Of course, if they can, I would also like to know how. Thank you very much.
    Eric

    You are correct that this is by design. A digital signature provides an assurance about the entire contents of the document, not just the page that it is on (e.g., the signature field is on the last page of the contract, but the signature covers the entire contract).
    Extracting just the page with signature would never leave you with a valid signature because all the other bytes of the file would be missing so the signature would not validate.
    If you want a validatable record of the signature, you will need to save the entire document. If all you really need is an informal, non-verifiable record, you could try printing the page with the signature to another PDF file which should show what the page looks like. But that is all you'd have so make sure that meets the legal requirements of your situations.
