InDesign crashing when placing a word doc

I am trying to place a word doc into InDesign and it keeps crashing. Tried restarting.  Tried breaking the doc into smaller part.   Still not working.

The only time I had a similar situation with a word document, I had to save it as plain text and place that into Indesign. Nothing else worked. The downside is you lose any formatting but at least you won't have to type everything from scratch. Make a copy of your file and give it a try.

  • InDesign crashes when placing text

    Hello.
    InDesign crashes when I try to place text from a .txt-file or an Open Office document. I'm using Creative Cloud trial version and Windows 8.1. Crash log states the fault to TEXT.RPLN
    Thanks in advance.

    Does this happen on a all documents, documents already created and also on new documents? If so

  • Indesign crashes when placing PDFs

    All,
    When placing PDFs in and Indesign file, it occasionally crashes. Usually when doing multiple pages, one at a time, some work and some crash.... although the ones that crash always crash and I cannot get them placed.
    The goal is to put the PDFs in the file and add text and/or images over the PDF.
    Solutions?
    Power Book Pro OS 10.8.5
    Indesign CS 6

    Eugene,
    Produced with IText 2.0.2 (by Iowagie.com), PDF version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
    However, some of the pages place just fine, and some crash every time. Suspect there's corruption on the crashing pages.
    Is there a way I could save the file in a different format or program and open that into Indesign?

  • 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.
    8. Check objects and graphics for damage.

  • InDesign crashes when syncing book with Hyperlinks in master

    Hi,
    I seem to have an issue with InDesign crashing when trying to sync a Book (INDB file) with page links (Hyperlinks) in the Master.
    Ref. Hyperlink panel > Edit Hyperlink > Link To: Page
    I've narrowed the crashing issue down to InDesign only crashing when the Style Source (containing the master with page links), tries to sync with another doc in the Book that uses the master in the Pages panel. Thus I do not get a crashing error if the doc does not contain the master in the Pages panel.
    For the pages that did not contain the master on the Pages panel I noticed that the Hyperlinks were labelled differently from the Style Source (ex. "hyperlink 1" from the Style Source would be "hyperlink 2" in the first document synced with it (assuming only one hyperlink present).
    If I remove the Hyperlinks (page links) from the master, the error no longer occurs for any of the pages.
    I put the links on the Page as opposed to the Master to test functionality and they work as expected. Although part of the reason for having the Master is these links appear exactly the same across multiple pages in the Book.
    I've tried to export all my pages as IDML files then re-save them as INDD files to no avail. Did the same to all the files as well with "Save As" which didn't do anything either. I then installed the latest patch I could find: Application Version 7.0.4.553 (See all InDesign Patches), which also did not work.
    Not sure if this is a bug or if what I'm trying to accomplish should be done differently.
    The links in the Master need to link to the first page of select docs in the Book. Similar functionality to how a rendered table of contents would behave.
    Ref. Layout > Table of Contents...

    I had the same problem, and it turns out that the problem is having the same file into different folders. For example I had an MP4 in iTunes, and the same file in the photos folder that was being updated to the iPad. So I just removed one file and it syncs perfectly.

  • When opening a word doc in pages i am loosing the graphic images from powerpoint that were embedded in the word doc

    When opening a word doc in pages i am loosing the graphic images from powerpoint that were embedded in the word doc

    Are the images placed in a table? Many Word user have the habit of doing that. Tables are not handles the same way in Word and Pages so they get "hidden" in Pages. One way to find this out is to change the size of the paper of the document. You do that in the Page setup in the file menu. Create a document that is much longer that the default one and see if you images will pp up.

  • InDesign crashes when printing

    Using InDesignCS2 4.0 on a MacBookPro OS 10.6.8.
    InDesign crashes when I hit "print" on all documents, so it looks like it's not corrupt data in the document. As a workaround, I can export to a pdf and print, but now need to add printer's marks, which can only be done through "print."
    I've re-installed the program from the original disk.
    Thoughts?
    -- Jerry Monaghan

    Is this an installation on a computer you've just acquired? Or did it work before on this particular computer?
    There is a mismatch between your InDesign version which came out in May 2005, and Mac OS X 10.6, which came out in 2009. InDesign CS2 was designed for a much earlier version of Mac OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.8. Apple often makes OS changes which makes features in much earlier software versions not work.
    You're lucky to have a workaround to be able to print via PDF files.

  • Indesign crashes when I try and open my document

    I created a file in Indesign which represents many days of work.
    It crashed indesign when I was pdf'ing the document and now it crashes indesign every time I try to open it.
    It is my only version.
    I have tried many ways to open it but nothing has worked - can you help?
    I've just realised that now - Indesign crashes when I try and open any document!
    Thanks very much
    NB Someone suggested I send it to Adobe and they may be able to fix it, but I can't find a contact email to send it to.

    You need to empty the InDesign Recovery folder (which is hidden in your user profile/library). You can find the path to InDesign SavedData in this link: Replace Your Preferences  and the recovery folder should be in the same folder with the InDesign SavedData file.
    Once the recovery folder is empty you should be able to launch ID, then try opening the file. If it wasn't damaged while writing it back to disk it will be fine, in the last previously saved state.

  • InDesign crashes when scrolling/editing a corrupted page with a broken link.

    Just sharing a problem I had and how I solved it (with help from adobe tech support-thanks!).
    Indesign CC running on a Mac OSX 10.9.2
    PROBLEM:
    InDesign crashed when ever I reached a certain page in a large document I was working on. On that page was a link to an illustrator file. Somehow this file must have been corrupted, but there was no chance to edit or delete this link/page as the program crashed instantly when ever I tried to manipulated that specific page.
    SOLUTION:
    I opened a new, empty document; opened the broken file and moved all pages to the new document: LAYOUT/PAGES/MOVE PAGES; select Move Pages "ALL"; Move to: "Select the new document"; click OK. I went back to the new file with the moved pages saved it and deleted the corrupted link on that page which I could now edit again. Problem solved!
    Hope this is helpful for anyone who experience the same problem.

  • RoboHelp freezing when importing large word docs

    What are your experiences with RoboHelp for HTML Help when
    importing large Word docs?
    Mine seems to stop responding and has to be restarted. Also,
    creating PDFs for large docs seems to be a problem.
    While I am here, could someone please answer these questions:
    1. Does RoboHelp support conditional inclusion/exclusion and
    replacement of text? Where you can use a condition to display one
    text OR another.
    2. Does Robo support Modular Help?
    3. What about automating output generation using batch files?
    Is this possible?
    4. Can PDF outputs be customized using templates?
    it looks like Robo offers partial solutions to each of the
    above questions but I will like to hear your experiences, as I am
    on evaluation the tool with limited time.
    TIA.
