Importing a large MS Word file with tables and graphics into InDesign CC

I have a large (300 page) Word file, either doc or docx and I'd like to import it into InDesgn to convert to a Kindle book. I'm very new to InDesign.
Thanks
Derm

You'll need to learn InDesign before you even think about going to epub.
Books:
Sandee Cohen's Visual Quick Start Guide: http://amzn.to/14JHq54
Digital Publishing with Adobe InDesign CS6 : http://amzn.to/13N06jN
Lynda.com: Here's a link for a one week trial: http://bit.ly/RS0GXs
Oh, and to answer you question, use file>place and then browse to the
Word file. Then shift click on the first page of the InDesign to
automatically create enough pages.

Is there a way to convert a Word document with Red and Black into Spot colors in Acrobat X?

Customer sent us PDF files created in MS Word. Of course, Word creates CMYK versions of colors. I need the red text and black text converted into spot colors for 2 color output on press. Is there a way to do this? I saw another thread that said there is a Fixup in the Print Production/Preflight section of Acrobat X that has a convert to Spot, but I'm not seeing that. All I see is Convert to CMYK. I'm using Acrobat X 10.1.13 on OS X. Any help would be appreciated. He also sent the Word docs so I can drop that into InDesign and reformat the whole thing and fix the colors myself but if I can do it in Acrobat, that would be a lot quicker. Thanks!

Frequently in this scenario the red will be 100% of either magenta or yellow with 0% black. In these cases you can merely plate the Black & Magenta (or yellow) for press.
I've created a Preflight Fixup on occasion for these also.
An example shown - Note it requires the document is cmyk. MS Files will be rgb. You could create a Preflight looking for rgb colors.
With Fixup tab selected - Options > Create New Fixup > Type of Fixup - search for Spot in the field

Issue of importing MS WORD file with inline images in 5.5 that did not exist in 5

Briefly, all of the files I created from dropping in MS WORD files with images look exactly the same in ID 5 as they do in WORD.
When I tried importing the same WORD files in ID 5.5, they look screwed up. For example, in WORD and CS5, the images were perfectly sized and aligned to fit the margins Then, on exporting to various formats (eg., PDF, EPUB), the program hangs around the 85% completion mark, and I have to manually end the program. I have mixed graphic formats on the images, JPG, GIF, and PNG, if that makes any difference.
Thanks.
PS: This input box will not accept hard returns - only manual line breaks. Is that normal?

I forgot to say that all of the same images in 5.5 are shown in various sizes. Resizing the frames manually, and then clicking on "Fit contents to frame," will of course, correct the problem, but it is frustrating to do.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.

Word files with no extensions .doc

Hi
if a start up staroffice 8.0 on linux with a word file, with no .doc extension it's not working.
soffice file (works on solaris, does not work on linux)
soffice file.doc ( works on both platforms)
It looks like the soffice solaris version loads the word filter but the linux
version loads a wordperfect filter.
Is there a place to configure the behavior.
Thanks Manuel

Is there no one who can confirm this bug?

Converting Word Files with Backgrounds

I've created a Word file with a background by going to Format/Theme and choosing Slate. When I convert the file to .pdf, it fails to capture the background. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? It is an integral part of the document and I need it to transfer to the pdf as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, apparently the background does not print either. That is a terrible shame. So, it is not object data at all, and thus Acrobat won't print it. I'm left with creating a background image behind text then in order to make that work.
If anyone else has any ideas, it would be of great help.

Using Word files with audio on a PC

I was wondering if it were possible for one to use Word files with recorded audio from a Mac on a PC? I'm not sure if it is possible at all, but if somebody knows how to extract the audio, it would be a great help. I used Word 2008 for the Word files.
Thanks

Error when save word file with easy dms

Hey,
When I want to save an word file with easy dms I got the following error:
"An error occured while creating the original attribute for WWI".
I have no idea why.
Thanks for your support.
BR,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
You need to check the following configurations
1) Transaction DC20: Whether data carrier has been defined
2) Transaction DC10: Define document types
3) Transaction DC30: Define workstation application
4) Transaction OAC0: Define content repositories
5) Transaction CSADMIN: Check status of content repository

On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?

On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application? If so how do I perform this activity?

Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

Adobe Creative Cloud - How To Share Files With Clients and Colleagues | Creative Suite Podcast: Designers | Adobe TV

In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast, Terry White shows how to share Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Files with clients and colleagues and all they'll need is a browser to comment and see your Photoshop Layers.
http://adobe.ly/10ZjpE4

Terry,
I guess I miss something. How can I share a folder of photos? When I return from a shoot, I select 20 of the pictures and need to share them with my client to pick up the favorites. Am I supposed to copy and past an URL for each image separately?
Sometimes I also work with a colleague, I need to share my favorites with him. Same issue.
We have tried Adobe Cloud, and then went for Dropbox. There we can share a folder and he can put even his pictures in it as well. That's what I call collaboration. And it is free (unlike Adobe Cloud). If you have some word in Adobe, please tell them to either drop it and make a deal with services like Dropbox, or make it properly.
Thanks.

Its urgent can anyone please help me do this?

Hello Junior DBA,
maybe try it with the "copy command".
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b12170/apb.htm
Have a look at the section "Understanding COPY Command Syntax".
Here is an example of a COPY command that copies only two columns from the source table, and copies only those rows in which the value of DEPARTMENT_ID is 30:Regards

Am unable to insert table and graphs into word document in labwindow/CVI? can any one help me ?

Am unable to insert table and graphs into word document in labwindow/CVI? can any one help me ?

Are you using the Word Report Generation instrument? You can find it in toolslib\activex\word\wordreport.fp under the CVI directory.
The instrument comes with a sample project that shows how to include table and graphs in a Word document: see samples\activex\word\wordrpt.cws in the samples foder of your CVI installation.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
