Footnotes - Some not importing from Word.

Hello, using CS6 here.
I am currently designing a 400 page book using a fully formatted Word file. I am importing the file into InDesign and setting all of the options properly—however after chapter 4 the footnotes disappear and are no longer in the imported text.
Chapters 1 thru 2 have the footnotes imported perfectly.
Any idea why this is happening? It is very frustrating and I am on a tight deadline.
Please help!

thank you, peter. i tried that, as i do have CS2 on my computer. now there are new problems:
1. When importing the complete file into CS2 it only imports half and for some reason the rest doesn't import...
2. I tried importing the other formats into CS6 and it crashes every time, now...
Frustrating...

Images not importing from Word doc

SORRY MODS - Accidently posted this in the HTML Help forum
I'm having trouble getting my images placed in a Word
document to import ito my project. I have RoboHelp 2002 and first
experienced the problem there, thought I'd try the upgrade to see
if that fixes the problem. It did fix my step numbering problems
(all steps were numbered Step 1), but the image import problem
remains. The images are .jpg images and most were placed in Word
using Insert Image. Some were just copied and pasted. Regardess of
how the images were included in the doc, none come through in an
import. Am I doing somethig wrong? I've tried importing it as a
Word 2000 and a Word 2003 doc with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Mike

I had the same issue and could get no good advice on how to
fix it. What I finally did was take the embedded images from the
Word doc and save them in another location. I then inserted them
back into RoboHelp after I imported the Word doc. It's a little
tedious, but it worked.

Roman numerals not importing from Word

Import from Word - tab space used with a Word style does not import consistently

When I import from Word using RH 10 (but this has been the case with all versions of RH that I've used) the import messes up my tab spacing in my Note style. To clarify: The Note style in my Word document has the word Note followed by a tab space and then the content of the Note. When I import a Word doc to RH, the conversion of this tab space is inconsistent (from 4-6 spaces) - it seems to depend on the length of the note and whether it continued onto a second line in the word document. Is there any solution to this? TIA.

Simply that plans change at this time of year.
I got exactly the same result and at first I wondered if it was because the document had tracked changes in it. I have seen that cause problems in the past and always recommend accepting them, in a copy document if you don't want to lose the tracking.
Accepting the changes made no difference and I would say this is a bug. Fortunately though there is a workaround that may be acceptable. Quite simply, add a full stop (period) or some other character after the number. A space will not work.

Import from Word- all links linking too low down so that bread crumbs don't display

When I import from Word, all the links being created are linking to the topic title, instead of just to the topic:
e.g. href="CreateLineOfSight.htm #CreateLineOfSight">CreateLineOfSight</a></p></td>
As a result, whenever the topic is longish, opening the topic from the link displays it with the title at the top of the screen and the breadcrumbs hidden.
If I change the link to: href="CreateLineOfSight.htm">CreateLineOfSight</a></p></td> - without the #link , it opens properly.
Does anyone know how to import from Word so that it links as I require. And/or how to replace all these links to the topic title with just a link to the (top of the) topic?
I'm using RoboHelp 8
Thanks.
Ayelet

Hi Ayelet,
are you converting the TOC generated inside word document itself and is the TOC generated at the TOP of the document ?
In such a scenario the TOC generated in Word document itself is the reason for this issue as the TOC itself point to that location!
One more thing to talk about, and that is my personal opninion is that when we move to online medium or even document for any hand held device we should keep our topics short, the reason is that even if we have bread crums those will get autoomatically hidden when we scroll down the topic if the topic is long.
So I would suggest you
1. Better do some style mapping to sute your online needs
2. Paginate the topic on the basis of style (like the one that has been used to generate the TOC) so that you have smaller and manageable/viewable topics
3. and after pagination Auto-generate the TOC inside RoboHelp after import
4. Can also generate mini TOC for better navigation, if you map your style to Headings style of RoboHelp and create mini TOC in the topic if it is long in place of the TOC generated in word

Comments not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server. SDDM 3.3.0.747

Hi,
SDDM 3.3.0.747 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
Comments are not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server 2008. Connection through Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server or jTDS 1.2.7
What I have tried? In SDDM DDL generation, Comments in DBRMS for SQL Server are generated with "EXEC sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description' , 'Test Comment' ..." so I added extended property named "MS_Description" into SQL Server database, both on table and column. None of them were imported from Data Dictionary into SSDM. I have tried both drivers stated above. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've found similar question thread Re: Data dictionary import doesn't import column comments for SDDM 3.0.0.665, so I guess it is a bug when importing with JDBC drivers.

Extended properties were not imported correctly from SQLServer databases at DM 3.3.0.747.
Calls to sp_addextendedproperty and fn_listextendedproperty have been modified.
I don't think it is a problem with JDBC drivers.
A bug fix should be available in the next release of DM.

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

IPhoto not importing from Quick Look

iPhoto does not import from Quick Look.
• Sometimes the image will check in Quick Look, iPhoto starts up, but nothing imports.
• Other times, the item appears already checked when it open in Quick Look, but same result, nothing in iPhoto.
This happens with old images, new images, a just saved screen shot for example.
I have reinstalled iLife, repaired Permissions, scrapped the iPhoto Library and let iPhoto create a new one with defaults. Nothing has worked.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

And with no configuraton changes, just plugging in the iPad [after walking around a bit] and the import worked as expected - nice that is works, bad that it is not consistant :-/

Karsten, I mentioned "IPHOTO to IMOVIE" photo transfer.
In fact, you did not.
We had NO idea if it was a photo or a pocket-camera movie you were trying to import from iPhoto.
You also didn't describe what happens when you try to import.

when i click on the photo icon to import them...i see pics from previous imports only., but not the current one that iam attempting to import. It is not an device issue.
this just started happening when i updated to "IMOVIE 11"
OK, that's a bit more information.
iMovie was probably already running when you imported the pictures into iPhoto and wasn't aware of the last import.
Try to quit iMovie and iPhoto, then launch iMovie again. The last import should show up.
Please take a few seconds to proof read your posts and also make then easy to read (no large letters, no underlining, no double line breaks in the middle of a sentence etc).

Hi, MPiaM.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer. However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

Do you mean that the automatic import dialogue box does not appear?
Or something else?

Importing from word - Headings not spliting like in RB7

I used RH7 to import a Word document user manual. RH7 was able to split the large documents into useable pieces at the headings. In RH 8, I can only get it to import the whole document. The requirments are for the table of contents to link to specific areas in the document defined with headings down to and including level 4. We need to eliminate as much scrolling for the user as possible.

For some reason I don't follow the settings are not invoked by the import routine. You have to go to Project Settings. You set them by clicking the Edit button there and that applies to future imports.
Notwithstanding that there is an Export button, you cannot save different settings and browse to the required settings next time! That is only for Linking.
You might want to suggest some changes here.

Can't remove ghost object in Pages doc imported from Word

Hi there,
I imported a Word .docx into Pages '09 for it's better layout and figure handling capabilities.
I ran into a few issues with page numbers from Word being converted to background/master objects, but overcame that pretty easily.
The problem I now have, is that it seems one of the figures from the Word document has become some kind of unselectable ghost object. Which is only apparent because text is inexplicably wrapping around an empty space.
I've tried all the tricks I've found to select background and master objects with no luck. Has anyone encountered this before?
I'm attaching a jpeg of a screenshot of what the document is doing. Invisibles are on, so you can see that there aren't spaces, tabs, etc or an object. Yet the text is wrapping as if an object were there.
I've already made edits to the file, so I would really prefer not to have to delete figures from the Word file and re-import to Pages to fix this...
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much!

Ah great, it worked!
A warning to others, exporting to Rtfd and re-importing to Pages seems to have removed many of my tables and figures from the original document, in addition to the weird ghost figure. I was planning on cleaning up the figures anyway, so this is not a problem for me, but others who try this should be prepared to lose many (but not all, oddly) of their inserted objects.
Thanks very much Fruhulda!!

Hyperlinks not converting from Word to PDF

I've read the other discussions regarding this topic & the solutions don't seem to work for me. I'm using Word '07 converting to Acrobat 8. Some of my hyperlinks will convert but not all. AND, one hyperlink is linking wrong in Acrobat even though it's correct in Word. I've checked my preferences in Word & Acrobat - all the right things are checked. I've tried creating it from Word & from Acrobat & nothing is working.
Can anybody ease my frustation? Please?!
Thank you.

Chinese & English Text imported from Word

Hi,
I have been having many issues of late importing Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Arabic text in to InDesign.
I have created Paragraph Styles, and they match the Word Document, but when I import the word document it ignores the font/style and directly imports the chinese font used within Word.
I had a feeling that InDesign was not recognising the font used within Word, hence it was unable to change it.
If this is the case, what is a font I can use within Mac Word, that will be recognised by InDesign and then apply my styling when importing.
Any advice on this issue would be great,
Thanks
Steve

I have created Paragraph Styles, and they match the Word Document, but when I import the word document it ignores the font/style and directly imports the chinese font used within Word.
Our entire workflow is built around placing translator's Word docs into InDesign. In my experience, you can either struggle with this at length and maybe never succeed, or you can simply get used to clearing overrides after placing styled Word text.
If you for some reason can't just place, select all, and clear overrides, then there are many possible issues you can chase after:
Style naming - do any of your styles in ID have the same names as built-in styles in Word?
Style inheritance - are any of your styles in either app based on other styles? This can cause overrides quite easily
Character styles - are there any applied?
Font naming conventions:
I had a feeling that InDesign was not recognising the font used within Word, hence it was unable to change it.
This happens to me all the time when using fonts with localized font names. Also when paragraph styles in Word have bold or italics applied to fonts that have no bold or italic faces (i.e. Chinese fonts in Word will often get fake bolds or italics applied).
That is just a brief sampling of the difficulties inherent in placing multilingual text in Word/RTF into InDesign. Word import is simply troublesome in ID - my solution is simply to map a keyboard shortcut to Clear Overrides, and to use some scripting to clean up imported Word files.
