Text formatting issues from MS Word 2011 to InDesign CS5.5

Is there anyway to copy and paste text from MS Word 2011 into InDesign CS5.5 and have it retain the original formatting? Each time I try to copy and paste content from MS Word, even into a text box, all the bolding and italics are lost. I've tried to troubleshoot this on the forum but can't seem to find a relevant thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've spend a fair amount of time trying to figure out this issue.
Thanks.

In the preferences you can choose to retain formatting when pasting from other applications. See screen shot.

  • Ecuaciones de word 2007 a indesign cs5

    hola, necesito ayuda. tengo un documento de word 2007 lleno de ecuaciones insertadas con el editor.
    las necesito llevar a indesign cs5, pero si el documento es .docx en indesgin queda el espacio en blanco donde van las ecuaciones, y si es .doc, las importa como png. muy en baja. me pueden ayudar como hacer?
    gracias!!

    Aunque es un trabajo laborioso una posibilidad es crear un pdf desde word,
    y luego abrir el pdf en illustrator y extraer cada ecuación. Si todo
    funciona bien, puede ocurrir que haya signo de ecuaciones que den
    problemas, tendrás las ecuaciones como eps, no es rápido pero la calidad es
    vectorial y se agradece. La otra opción es abrir el pdf con photoshop en
    este caso recortarás cada ecuación y tendrás jpg o tiff. Puede que sea más
    rápido que con illustrator pero la calidad no es igual.
    Antes de hacer cualquier cosa, copia la ecuación en word y pega en
    illustrator y mira si funciona, si es así te ahorras el paso por el pdf.
    También te puedes mirar este script

    cuesta dinero pero creo que si son tantas como dices te ahorrará un tiempo
    curioso.
    Aunque la página esté en ruso hay un manual en inglés y por lo que veo te
    podrá servir

  • How to copy the bullet point format/style from MS Word to Pages?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to make the swap from Mac Word to Pages but the one thing that frustrates me so much to the point of not using Pages is the bullet point system.
    In Word the set spacings are exactly how I want them - whereas in Pages, everything is tighter - there is less space between the margin and the point, the point and the text etc.
    I've painstakingly inserted all the spacings from Word into Pages and saved it as a "style" but it just reverts back to the default positioning when I open up a new document and select my saved style.
    Any ideas / a magic tool to just copy the style from Word? It's such a shame because Pages is a much slicker programme than Word and I really want to use it but as a student, bullet points are my world.
    Thanks,
    James

    Hi Peter, thanks for your reply.
    Yeah I get the font and formatting for the text copied no problem when copying but I'm talking about from scratch in a new document, I insert a bullet point and even when selecting my saved style, it just reverts back to the default.
    I agree, massive pain. It is the only thing stopping me from making the full switch now iCloud Drive is getting close to Dropbox.
    Am I a misguided fool for thinking there's a patch or modification of some description that can copy the default bullet spacings from Word and create a new style following them in Pages?
    Thanks, James

  • Text format change from iWeb to browser

    Has anyone else had a problem with their text looking different (in both Safari and Firefox)? In one place, the font switches from 14 to 12. On another page, my indentations don't line up. Overall, I'm pleased with the software, but it is irritating that my website doesn't look as clean as it does in iWeb. Thanks.
    --Patrick

    Yes, and it can be much worse looking at a page from a Windows browser. I'm currently struggling with "white space" at the bottom of the text box on the blog page. The amount of space is very noticeable, especially if the background of your text box differs from the page background. In this case it has to do, I believe, with font settings, type, size, justification, and line spacing, even inserting pictures into the text box.
    Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done. Every browser renders pages differently. It is rather appalling that the iWeb team can't even get their WYSIWYG to match what is seen in Safari, but what can you do? You can either keep things simple or design for a particular browser audience. Something like 85 perent of people use Internet Explorer for Windows, so I tend to think that's the best solution, if an unappealing one.

  • Embed streaming video from my own Server into InDesign CS5

    Hi all,
    I try to place a streaming video into my Indesign CS5 Document. InDesing seems to find the File, cause it shwos up the preview image in the Media Window, but the videoslider nor the play-button of the media-window is working.
    the link (Red5 Streaming Server):
    rtmp://87.230.53.80/oflaDemo/personaltv/bewerbermagazin/wuerzburg/test/video.flv
    When I export it as an interactive PDF, and I click on the videoframe, it first shows the security dialog as expected, but after that it is only the empty player and the progressbar looks like it can not connect to the streaming server.
    Is there a workaround?
    Thanks in Advance for any hint!
    P.S.: If I load it from my webserver via http:// ... it works great.

    I think this isn't really an InDesign issue at all. It sounds like an Acrobat issue.
    First, you haven't said what version of Acrobat you're using. I'm assuming Acrobat X Pro?
    I've used this with a friend's Flash Media Server so I know it works. What version of Flash server do you have installed?
    I the link you provide I see a spaceband after the word "test" in the path. Could that be a problem?
    Other than that, it appears that you're following the requirements listed in the Help file for Acrobat X Pro.
    If you have further problems, you might post this on the Acrobat User Forum.

  • 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,

  • How do I stop my panels from being visible while in InDesign CS5's presentation mode?

    Hey there, I have a quick question... So when I'm not working with two monitors I sporadically have this problem where when I enter InDesign CS5's (on a Mac) presentation mode (shift W) all of my panels (color, pages, swatches, pathfinder etc) are visible atop of the preview. Its fairly maddening because it encroaches on the actual preview of the document. I have had no luck getting it to stop doing this unless I just close my panels and reopen them all each time I exit presentation mode i.e. very inefficient. However, the weird part here is that it doesn't always do this which makes me fear that its a glitch or something... because there seems to be no correlation between this issue and InDesign settings, the file being worked on or anything else that may change moment to moment. Any input on the matter would be immensely appeciated! Thanks in advance!

    I've never seen this reported before, but it's the sort of wierdness that can often be fixed by trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

  • Document format issue from iPad

    I created a pages document on the iPad, when I open it up in Pages for the Mac the formating is seriously off.  At first it looks like the text is just shifted, but there are images that are 3 pages out of place.
    I can quick preview the pages document just fine, even open it in preview.  I can even export a pdf and looks fine.
    I am trying to open in it in pages to use the reduce file size command.
    Any ideas what is going on here?
    Thanks!

    Think I might have found a potential cause, seems there are some text boxes that overlap on the iPad, and it displays fine.  But text in those same text boxes disapear or a truncated in pages...

  • Syncing/Video Format issue from iTunes to iPod touch

    I recently upgraded to a 4th gen touch from 4th gen iPod. All my previous videos were able to be synced properly. Ones I just purchased from iTunes store, however, I cannot load onto my iPod touch. I'm not able to sync it nor drag it into my device to upload.
    This is the message I receive when syncing: +"Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including "xxxxxx" were not copied to the iPod "xx" because they cannot be played on this iPod."+ When I clicked further the message reads +"...the video format is not supported by this iPod."+
    All of these are regular ole TV shows in MPEG-4 format. Yes, I can watch them on my computer. Yes, my software is up to date. Yes, I have iTunes 10 (and reinstalled it). Yes, my properties are to automatically sync my TV shows (which is why I'm constantly getting above error message). Yes, I restarted and reformatted my iPod touch.

    Have you tried using the Create iPod and iPhone Version in the Advanced tab of iTunes? That opion is made to convert most formates to the iPod and iPhone compatible formats.

    Is there any method of changing text navigation produced by the templates. I would like to change text font, style and colour.

    the easiest way to do this would be as you said to turn off navigation and create it yourself. Good luck

    I need help with InDesign. Do you see the issue with the formatting? There are small grey boxes to the right of the lines that have not formatted properly. When I highlight the text you can the lines are messed up. I've gone through the Adobe forums looking for troubleshooting but can't figure it out. Does anyone know the solution to the problem? What is the technical term for the 'grey-boxes'?
