Import Word file into PP CS6?

Is there way to import a Word .docx file into Premiere Pro? It's a long document that I'd like to slowly scroll for about 10 minutes.

I did actually mean to write "Scroll" in previous post rather than "Crawl", my mistake.
Scroll is like movie credits. Create your Scroll title, then on timeline you can drag to any length desired, which affects the speed of the scroll. If you open the title again in the Titler, at upper left next to font selection there is an icon for "Scroll options" - this adds some additional parameters affecting the behavior of the scroll like Start Off Screen, or Ease In, etc.

Can no longer import Word files into InDesign

Hello,
For many months I have been importing Word files into InDesign CS3 (Mac OSX 10.4.11) with no trouble, but I started having a problem yesterday.
When importing a 17-page Word file with 16 footnotes, I got none of the text and only the footnote numbers. This is what I get in InDesign:
12345678910111213141516
(Endnotes)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
These are the things I've tried already: restarting, deleting preferences, changing the import options, using CS2, importing someone else's Word file, importing a Word file that I imported successfully a couple of months ago. None of this works.
It has been suggested that I save the Word file as rtf, but since I have 200 files to import and I'm using Word's character styles for italics, bold, small caps, etc., I'd rather try to fix this problem.
Can someone help?
Thanks,
Tina

I am using indesign CS2 and i'm trying to import a Word document into a new chapter for a book i'm laying out. it's about 30 pages, but there are at least 80 foot notes. i'm able to get about 1/2 of the document with the footnotes to flow correctly, then EVERYTHING disappears. the only way i've been able to get the remaining text to appear is by adding characters to the text. i'll hit "vvvvvvvvvvvv" a bunch of times and "magically" a little chunk of text and it's footnotes appears. then the ole disappearing act happens. so i do it again. i'm able to get all the text to appear finally, but when i delete the "vvvvvvvvvv" from the places i inserted them, the text disappears again. i have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it. any ideas?
thanks so much,
travis

Batch importing Word files into separate InDesign files

Hi,
I have what I though would be a fairly common question, but I can't seem to find any information about it in this forum or on the web.
I have a folder of Word files (over 100, which is why I don't want to do this manually) and one InDesign CS4 file that I'd like to use as a template (basically it's just a couple of pages with some threaded text boxes and a few images). I would like to write a script that will go through the Word files, one by one, and pull each into the text box in the InDesign file before saving it as a new copy (ideally with the same name as the Word file). So, if I have 100 Word files and one InDesign file in a folder, I'd like to be able to run a script and end up with 100 new InDesign files.
I think I can deal with importing and placing the text, and saving the file again. It's mostly the question of using javascript to go through a folder to find all of the filenames so that I can pass the name to the import file command that is confusing me.
Oh, I'm on a Mac with OS 10.6 and using InDesign CS4.
Thanks!

Before reinstalling (which is most often unneeded) it would be useful to test the way the app behave when it is used in an other User Account.
If it behave flawlessly, no need to reinstall it.
If it doesn't, it *_may be useful_* to reinstall it but it's not sure.
Nothing prove that the problem is really linked to the installed application's files.
It may be linked to a file built on the fly like preferences or fonts cache…

Hello Sally,
First, I have only heard/read good things about the book Steve recommends. It is on my to buy list one day. Been awaiting a long deserved vaction to pick it up to read.
I approach XML files pretty much like I do any text file I am sent in that I will import or copy/paste a text file into a frame in ID and begin setting my styles. With XML, though, I first clean it up, move closing tags up to their logical close lines, remove spurious codes that mean something in HTML but don't necessarily belong in the XML file (like &#x2019 which is an apostrophe so I do a search and replace. But for   which is a non-breaking space I simply search and replace with a regular space in general), and make sure the XML validates.
Validation is much like making sure an HTML page is formed properly. I use an XML editor (XML BluePrint) and a text editor (UltraEdit) for these tasks. If I had to only have one or the other, I suppose the XML editor is what I would use.
I always show the import options when I import the XML and make sure that I link to the file.
So once a sample of the XML is on a page in ID (via File | Import XML), I highlight text within a tag, say like in your example above, the Providor name, and make it like I want and then create a new style. I generally name the styles as per the XML tag. Later on, that makes mapping tags to styles a little easier.
Once I set up all the styles preliminarily, I map the tags to styles. You can do that either via the Tags palette or via the Structure Pane that will appear once the XML is imported. In both cases, it is found via the flyout menu at the top right of their respective windows.
After mapping my styles to the tags, I select the root element in the Structure Pane (the topmost element. In your sample above it is "providors" and delete it. This removes the XML in your ID file. But the styles and tags are still present.
Then I import the XML again and look to makes sure all the tags/elements are styled as intended. I then correct any errors/ommissions. Then...I'll delete the XML again and import the full XML file.
I can upload what I did with your XML sample above so you can compare it to your source file if you would like. You would then see how/where I moved tags. Now, moving the tags is only "necessary" to avoid all the extra blank paragraphs. That can be accomplished by ID's search/replace, too. But I like to start out with the XML cleaned up, so I take the few minutes to do it.
Take care, Mike

Problem importing .mov file into Photoshop CS6

I recently bought a canon 600D and I am trying to edit a 1080p video in photoshop CS6, however whenever it won't let me import the video. When I try to open it via File>open, it tells me 'Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.' and when I try to drag and drop it it tells me 'Could not place the document ‘MVI_0710.MOV’ because no parser or file format can open the file.'
I'm not a professional at all so I could be missing something very basic! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What system are you on? Which PS version? 32bit or 64 bit? Sounds like the required qtserver/ dynamiclink stuff is not running and you are using the 64bit version.

Issues w/ notes when importing Word files; better as RTF?

Hi,
I've always had issues when importing Word files into InDesign CS4, and after just getting CS5 it seems that they haven't been eliminated. Since it looks as though I'm going to have to just deal with these issues (I have to accept Word files from a wide variety of sources, so I can't move to an InCopy workflow, unfortunately) I thought I'd ask for some advice.
After reading some suggestions on this forum I began making sure to accept all tracked changes and then saving to a .docx file before importing. But I have still been having trouble with disappearing endnotes (ie all notes in the text up to a certain number just get lost, even though the references at the end of the text are complete); and often the first note (the reference, not just the number) appears in an anchored text box within the text. Disappearing note numbers are the most frustrating, because it's easy to miss until much later in the layout process. Is anyone else having these problems? In fact, in a few cases saving to .docx seems to -cause- more problems than it solves.
In any case, it seems that saving as an RTF file can produce better results, but I'm a bit wary about doing this all the time in case information gets lost when moving to RTF, or in case there are problems that I just haven't noticed yet in importing RTF files.
So, long story short, is there any reason I -shouldn't- save all my Word files as RTF files to avoid problems when importing them in InDesign?
If anyone has other suggestions for steps to follow when importing Word files (besides dealing with tracked changes and saving as .docx or RTF) please feel free to mention those as well!

I don't know much about your particular case (endnotes) so I can't offer much in the way of specific advice. I also don't know where your Word files are coming from, but for me the best workflow is when
1) I make an ID template
2) I export an RTF from that template
3) People use those RTF templates in Word and fill 'em with text
4) People send me Word-edited RTFs
5) I place those RTFs
It's useful to know what you will lose when going from DOC -> DOCX -> place in INDD
or
DOC -> RTF -> INDD
but the only way to know for sure is to test with your content. Some things break when saving to RTF from Word, but I've found that those things are mostly Word-specific stuff that I wouldn't want in any file to be placed in ID. Text boxes, WordArt (faugh), other things that MS has spot-welded onto the side of their word processing app.

Importing PDF file into CS6

Hello,
I am using the trial version of CS6 to see if this software would work best for what our company would like to accomplish. I currently have a pdf file that contains a parts book I would like to convert into a digital publication but I can not seem to figure out how to do so. I am using this book as our test to see the ease of use and overall quality of the software. Any suggestions on how to import my file into CS6?
Thank you in advance.

The end result is we are looking for a software that we can use to create digital copies of everything from Employee handbooks to Sales Binders.
That is a fine idea.
Does that help? I need a software where we can not only design new pages but also import in pages that already exsist.
If the pages that already exist are only available to you in PDF format, then you have a rough slog ahead of you. I'd go so far as to call your project Nigh Impossible. However, if you can get your hands on the source files from which those PDFs were generated, then it becomes Kinda Possible. So, like Mike, I'd want to ask first whether or not those source files were available to you, and what format they were made in.
I'd also like to repeat Bob's point that you cannot become enough of an expert in InDesign to know whether or not it would be a suitable product for your project in thirty days - unless you were already experienced in something like Quark or Ventura.
Lastly: what the heck do you mean by "digital publication"? Do you just mean "a file"? I guess so, since you are comparing against printed binders. But it's hard to tell.

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

Importing Photoshop files into premiere pro CS6 issues

Hi
I recently re-installed Premiere Pro CS6 on my work computer (i changed from a HDD to an SSD). Ever since I did this I am having an issue importing .PSD files into Premiere.
I try and import a photoshop file. The importer window comes up. The progress bar starts to move, then pauses and the Importer says 'Not Responding'. After a few seconds it comes back and throws up the following error:
Error message - 'The importer reported a generic error'
All projects i previously worked on that had .PSD files in them are now reporting these files as 'Media Offline' meaning I have to replace them with .PNG files which is really annoying.
Any ideas what might be happening? The files I am trying to import are RGB .PSD's. They worked previously without any issues.
I have Premiere Pro Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587))
running on a Windows 7 machine with Service Pack 1, 64 bit OS, 16GB Ram and Intel Core i7-2600
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this!

Yes, MXF should play perfectly in PP CS6, but if you can't work this out at this point, you may wrap your MXF video to something intermediate. as a matter of face, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 seems to work fine if you import your MXF clips directly from a camera or camcorder, but if have already copied MXF recordings your HDD or you downloaded them from somewhere else, the import error may occur.
So i suggest you convert the MXF footage to something mezzanine we would recommend DNxHD.mov (if you are on a PC) or Apple ProRes .mov (if on a mac). those two intermediate codecs are good mezzanine codecs that handle recompression well and standup well in other areas of post-production (color grading, graphics, compositing, etc,). You can see what I wrote about the solution. "Why Premiere Pro CS6 can't import MXF files?" i hope that it is helpful to you.

It's not a matter of exporting a file that Windows will recognize; it's a matter of exporting a file format that Illustrator can import or open.
A Mac OS version of Canvas is under development, by the way.
