Microsoft Word Import

Hello,
I am still eager to place graphic design as PDF into Word.
Maybe Adobe thinks about a "Mars" import filter for MS Word?

You suppose that was what he/she meant? 8)

Importing a TOC from Microsoft Word

I'm working on a Medical instruction manual that was done in Microsoft Word.    The TOC came over and SEEMs to link up to it's appropriate areas but I'm having a hard double checking because of the naming conventions (i.e. "ref00084848").   I want to make sure the TOC links up to it's appropriate pages...and I'd also like to know how to make the pages dictate the TOC. For example if we added a page which pushed pages, is there a way for that to automatically update the TOC?
One other question: This manual is going to be dictated in several languages so it's 144 pages and the entire thing is threaded.   THere are diagrams with arrows pointing at specific things in photos with words.    Normally I would do it in illustator and place them in the text block to nest them but because their being translated I have to keep the all text in InDesign. Is there an easy way to nest everything like this?
Thank you in advance!

To completely destroy all of the xrefs that make up the imported Word TOC and rebuild a brand-new TOC with InDesign's Table of Contents tool. Which you want to do anyways because:
This manual is going to be dictated in several languages
I'm guessing here that "dictated" means "translated." That Word TOC stuff, you'll barely be able to get it to work in English, don't try to send it through translation.

An anchored object would work here, I think - depending on how you expect the language service provider to work, what you expect to get back, and so on. You could place an InDesign file into another InDesign file, just as you could place an Illustrator file, but I can't tell if you expect to hand off a package with all links to your LSP, or if you are expected to just export IDML, and they expect to return only IDML for you to clean up (which is a pretty terrible translation workflow, but normal for the bottom end of the language industry, for what it's worth).

Importing Microsoft Word comments into InDesign CS5.5 [Mac]

Has anyone had success importing Microsoft Word comments into InDesign 5.5? I've read that this is possible, however, all my attempts have failed. I've checked that Track Changes is on in both InDesign and MS Word.
The one pattern with all the files I've attempted is that, by the time I receive the file, the author has already accepted all tracked changes. The comments remain, but they do not import into InDesign.
I have 'track changes' ticked on the import dialog.
Is there anything I'm missing? Tips from people who've done this successfully would be greatfully apprecated.

Hi BhSimonP,
Did you got any solution to this problem. I am having same requirement now.
Please help me with your answer.
Thanks,

Importing Microsoft Word doc to InDesign with embedded EPS art ~ scaling issue

Hi, my workflow calls for creating content in Microsoft Word 2010 with embedded EPS art, in this case MathType 6.7a math objects. When I import these manuscripts (after saving as Word 97/2003 format) into my Adobe InDesign CS5.5 templates, the embedded inline graphics have been resized. Strangely, InDesign is keeping the container frame at the correct dimensions and then upsizing or downsizing the art inside that box.
When I export a sample graphic from the Word file and unembed the same graphic after import it into InDesign, the two graphics are different sizes. InDesign might increase the size of one embedded graphic by 400% and then scale it down to 25% inside the anchored picture box and then in the next anchored picture box it might decrease the size the art to 50% and scale it to 200%.
I did a test and created a graphic in Adobe Illustrator, saved it as EPS, placed the graphic into a Microsoft Word 2010 document, saved it out to 97/2003 format, imported that doc into an empty Adobe InDesign CS5.5 file. Again! InDesign changed the size of the art and re-scaled it to appear the same.
I've been able to duplicate this issue on InDesign CS4 also, on both Windows XP and Windows 7.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Does anyone know why the InDesign import filter doesn't import inline art in a Word document at 100%? Thanks for the help!

My solution for this is:
1. Place *.docx (yes, docx) word document with mathtype equations into indesign. This will set correct baseline for equations which is very important.
2. download this scalegraphics script http://in-tools.com/downloads/indesign/scripts/ScaleGraphics.zip
3. copy script from zip folder to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples\JavaScript
4. open palet (window/autoamtion/scripts) scripts, find new sript and run it
Voila, all equations is at 100%...
Script explanation: http://in-tools.com/article/scripts-blog/scale-graphics-script/
In links palete equations have eps extension but this is embeded wmf files so you cant open them in photoshop or distill it with distiller.-((( I use export to pdf option in indesign to make pdf file.
If you want all this eps links to export from indesign use this method:
1. in links palete select all links
2. in palete menu choose "unembed link"
3. on answer window choose "no"
4. select folder where you want indesign save files
5. press "select"
6. now you have all links in new folder unembed from indesign document and you can edit it with mathtype.

Best way to import Microsoft Word text?

Newbie question. I've been importing Microsoft Word text just using the clipboard. That is, I'll open Microsoft Word, open my document, select all, copy, and then go to InDesign and paste. InDesign gives me a text block with my text and I just re-size the columns. The text comes in all weird and I have to stylize it, of course. Sometimes I get some junk like nonbreaking characters and other hidden characters which screw me up until I figure out what's going on. My question is: what's the best way to import Microsoft Word text that will introduce the fewest errors? Thanks.

How do I keep leading when importing a Microsoft Word document to indesign?

I have a long document in Word that has some simple styles applied to it (a few colors and different fonts) but when I try to place it in my indesign file, the leading changes. Everything else stays the same. Any idea why it changes? I thought leading is one attribute that's supposed to import if I have "preserve styles and formatting for text" setting checked in indesign...
I don't know if it matters, but I'm using Mac OS 10.9 with Indesign CS6 and Microsoft Word 2011

Migintosh, I hadn't thought of that, but turns out that is my problem. I seems when I place the file, indesign in automatically changing those values. Is there a way to force indesign keep those at 0 (or whatever value I want) as I place the text? Right now, what happens is I place the text and then have to select all and manually set the before and after to 0 since indesign decides to change the after spacing to 0.1389.

Importing text from Microsoft Word documents

Can anyone offer recommendations or tips on the Import feature? I am considering use of import for a vast amount of content from Microsoft Word documents. I am using DW CS3 and I have heard good and bad about the import feature. I would like to try to make it work for me and to make sure I'm using it correctly. Many thanks! Ms. Gill

I hate to say this, but don't do that.
Ms. Web Editor (may I call you Web?), I regularly input stuff my clients send me from Microsoft Word. I never attempt an HTML conversion from Microsoft. It's just too dirty.
Instead, what I do is I copy paragraphs into Dreamweaver's Code View window, putting a <p> and a </p> before and after them.
If there are headings and sub headings in Word, I simply make them into lines without HTML, then press [Command]-1 or [Command]-2 to make those lines into <h1> or <h2> tags.
I never try to export from Word. Microsoft does not know how to create clean HTML and CSS. It is always a losing proposition to trust that they do.

Importing Address Information From Microsoft Word

I have a list of address in Microsoft Word that I want to import into Address Book. Here is an example of the format of the addresses:
Hy-Drive Technologies Ltd.
4-6705 Millcreek Drive Mississauga, Ontario
L5N 5M4
(905) 542-3024
[email protected]
http://www.hy-drive.com/main/default.asp
There is a space in between each address entry. In the document there are 100 addresses. How on earth to get this stuff into address book? I thought to paste into excel and some how arrange the data so it could then be imported into address book in the form of a csv file. However, I can't figure out how to arrange the addresses in Excel so it would work.
Any ideas?
Message was edited by: Ryan Vetter1

In Word: Edit your addresses so they all have the same number of lines, but if this might result in a blank line in the middle of a set of details put in "dummy" or some similar placeholder.
Edit/Find.
In the Find box type "^p^p". Click Replace. In the replace box type "zzzzzz". Click replace all. This will take out the blank line between sets.
In the Find box put "^p". In the Replace box put "^t". Click replace all. This will put a tab between each field in an address set.
In the Find box put "zzzzzz". In the Replace box put "^p". Click replace all. This will restore the end-of-line marker between each set of details.
If you put in any "dummy" in the Find box put "dummy". Delete the contents of the replace box. Click replace all. Close the Find/Replace dialog.
File/Save as. Set the format to Text Only. Give the file a name which ends .txt (eg addies.txt). You now have a tab-delimited file in which there is a tab between each piece of information in a set and a return between each set.
When you import it into Address Book you should get a dialog that allows you to set the correspondance between your various pieces of information (city, phone, email etc) and the corresponding Address Book fields.

Importing a table from Microsoft Word

I'm importing a table from Microsoft Word but the formatting isn't importing. For example, most of the grid lines are missing.

Importing Microsoft word documents that already have paragraph styles

Hello. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for months, this was taught to me many months ago but for some odd reason when I tried it myself it didn't work . I have my paragraph styles all set up in my indesign document. I have to import text that another person is giving me. The document that this person is giving me is a Microsoft word document. Someone showed me that you can customize the document in microsoft word, with styles for example: Selecting a part of text and customizing it (making it big and bold for example), then naming that style Heading, and then doing the same for lets say...a subheading. Well after you save the document (the microsoft word document), you are able to import the word document into your indesign file and it's supposed to override the styles from Microsoft Word and customize itself with your own paragraph or character styles that you already have in your indesign document, as long as the name of the styles are the same as the ones you had in microsoft word(which in this case would be heading and subheading). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Convert Word styles to InDesign styles
Here's the info you need. I found it in the InDesign Help section. I needed it, too. The "Show Import Options" is a little box in the lower left hand corner of the screen that comes up when you choose the file you want to place in InDesign. It's easy to miss.
While importing a Microsoft Word document into InDesign or InCopy, you can map each style used in Word to a corresponding style in InDesign or InCopy. By doing so, you specify which styles format the imported text. A disk icon appears next to each imported Word style until you edit the style in InDesign or InCopy.
Do one of the following:
To add the Word document to existing text in InDesign or InCopy, choose File > Place. Select Show Import Options, and then double-click the Word document.
To open the Word document in a stand-alone InCopy document, start InCopy, choose File > Open, and then double-click the Word file.
Select Preserve Styles and Formatting From Text and Tables.
Select Customized Style Import, and then click Style Mapping.
In the Style Mapping dialog box, select the Word style, and then select an option from the menu under InDesign style. You can choose the following options:
If there is no style name conflict, choose New Paragraph Style, New Character Style, or choose an existing InDesign style.
If there is a style name conflict, choose Redefine InDesign Style to format the imported style text with the Word style. Choose an existing InDesign style to format the imported style text with the InDesign style. Choose Auto Rename to rename the Word style.
Click OK to close the Style Mapping dialog box, and then click OK to import the document.

HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page. Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page. Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

Editing a document imported into Microsoft Word

Anyone know if there's a way to edit a scanned document that is imported into Microsoft Word? When I scan it it saves as either a JPEG file or PDF.
Thanks!

I've got a feeling that he means editing a textual document that was scanned in. In that case, OCR software would be needed. I'm not familiar with any on the Mac side, but I know Omnisoft works pretty well on the Windows side.

The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word

Hello guys,
I'm currently evaluating RoboHelp HTML 8.0.2.208. I'd like to import an existing Word document to a fresh new RoboHelp project. Unfortunately, everytime I've got the message below:
"The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word"
"Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."
I tried with several Word 2003 and Word 2010 documents but with no success.
Could someone help me?
Thans by advance

Hi there
I think it would probably be safe to assume that the next version will support Office 2010. I think logic alone can tell us that much.
The larger question would be to ask when that next version is likely to appear. And my own purely unscientific speculation will be to hold the envelope to my head like the great Johnny Carson did. I proclaim we will see a new version appear some time in 2011. As to whether that will be early or late 2011, only Adobe can actually say for certain. Or even if a version will appear during that year!
Cheers... Rick

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
TextEdit (found in /Applications) is capable of opening most of the MS-Word .doc files.
However if the files were created with MS-Word version 2007 you can download and install NeoOffice http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
Regards
Stefan
Actually, Leopard's TextEdit can open Word 2007 (.docx) documents as well. Of course, NeoOffice has more features than TextEdit, if editing the document is needed. However, in that case, I recommend not re-saving the document in Word 2007 format, as NeoOffice's Word 2007 import/export filters aren't as reliable as its Word 97/2000/XP (regular .doc) filters, for example.
