Unwanted character styles in my placed (from Word 2010) paragraphs

Hello...
Lately, when I place a Word 2010 file with a specific paragraph style into InDesign CS 5.5,, the characters are bold -- which is NOT part of the style as defined in both Word and InDesign.
If I then right-click on the style in the paragraph style panel and select "apply...and clear character styles" the bold, of course, disappears.
The problem (besides the incovenience), of course, is that this action also removes any character attributes (such as bold) that I purposely applied to some of the text.
As far as I can tell, these affected paragraph styles are defined in both Word and in the InDesign template correctly, so I can't figure out why this is happening...and it is a new phenomenon. This is a monthly newsletter, and it did not happen last month.
Thanks.

I was having the same problem and am no longer having it. I'm not sure exactly what solved it, but here are two things I did:
Changed the number of column on my master page and re-applied it to the current page (can't fathom how this would change things, but who knows?)
Change my import settings to these:

Unwanted background color creating PDf from Word 2010

I'm creating a PDF from Word 2010 using the built-in "Save as Adobe PDF" distiller. All of a sudden the created PDF has a pale yellow background, except for text boxes and images. I have no ide where the background tint came from. How do I get rid of it?

It's probably related to a transparency issue. Try selecting the background and deleting it using the editing tools - depending on what version of Acrobat you're using, you may find it easier to do this using the Content Navigation pane.

Blurry text in Acrobat X Pro when creating PDF from Word 2010

I created a PDF document from Word 2010 and while most of the pages and formatting looks fine, about 1/5 of the pages have blurry Arial 10 pt text (it looks as if it was Arial bold out of focus). Has anyone experienced this problem?

Thanks for the reply.
The artifacts scale with the pdf.
Below is the 'p' from "participation" and the 'a' from "Apparatus" at 1600% and 6400%

Importing a second Index from Word 2010 into InDesign CC

I am working on a 1000 page book. It was imported from Word 2010. Things imported messy but I am cleaning it up. The second index imported as text but did not attach to the reference in the text. The Index worked as did the table of contents. What can I do and how do I work with this. I have never had this kind of a situation.
Thanks

Make sure to open the track changes dialog and accept the changes, then do a Save As to rewrite the file.

I converted a 253 page document from Word 2010 to pdf using Adobe Professional 8. The pdf fike only had 251 pages. Why?

I converted a 253 page document from Word 2010 to pdf using Adobe Professional 8. The pdf fike only had 251 pages. Why?

Word documents don't have a fixed page layout; Word reflows freely if it wants. This isn't normally a problem unless things like typing page numbers is done; avoid that.

Quick Parts from Word 2010 not available in Outlook 2010?

Kinda feel daft asking this...
If I type a Autotext (Quick Part) in Word 2010 it doesn't seem to be available in Outlook 2010 and vice versa. Each program seems to be using it's own default template. Saving it to Building Blocks.dotx also makes no difference.
From what I've found looking around the internet it seems this is intentional and the only way to get me AutoText from Word 2010 is to copy the Normal.dotm to NormalEmail.dotm is this right?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Your question is not daft! You are right in that there are two templates that are used for Quick Parts. Indeed very annoying because why would you have to insert the same autotext twice right? Unfortunately this is how we stand now.

When creating PDFs from WORD 2010 I cannot get the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks

When creating PDFs from WORD 2010 I cannot get the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks. I used to be able to do this in WORD 2003. I tried to create a PDF from Acrobat by selecting File > Create PDF >navigate to the WORD file > select three checkboxes >
Any help with getting the TOC heading entries as hyperlinks?

Try to do it from Word using the ribbon.

InDesign CS6 placing from Word

Any suggestions please.
When I placed a file from Word in CS5 and chose the remove styles and formatting with preserve local overrides on, the file would be placed in my body font.
In CS6 when I choose the same options, the Word formatting is preserved. The styles don't come through, but why isn't it formatting to my body style as it used to. Cheers

Mapping Styles from Word 2010 to RoboHelp HTML 10

Hello all,
I have created customized styles for myself and my team to use for authoring content, which I then import to RoboHelp, as I am the only individual who understands RoboHelp and HTML/CSS. I created a corresponding CSS style sheet in RoboHelp to correspond with the names of the Word styles. When I go to import the files in RoboHelp, I am running in to an issue with paragraph tags and heading tags.
When I import a file from a Word document, I have not found a way to map a <p> tag that is parsed from a Word document to an <h> tag, as heading tags do not appear as a selectable item in the Conversion Settings window when importing Word files. I would be able to keep the formatting if I left the headings as <p> tags; however, it is my understanding that RoboHelp 10 search relies heavily on the heading tags for weighting search results. I have about 400 topics, and search is used heavily by those using my documentation. I would prefer to keep the <h> tags in place in the RoboHelp files and retain the search functionality, if at all possible, while finding an easier import option from Word files.
At this point, I have to manually change the HTML for each <p> tag to match the correct heading style. While Find and Replace works well for this, I would prefer to have a seamless import from Word (which bloats an HTML file horrendously, I know) by mapping from one style to the next. Has anyone found a way to map a <p> tag to an <h> tag so that the search functionality does not suffer? Or am I just approaching this the wrong way?

You are correct in your assumption that I am referring to paragraph styles when speaking of <p> tags. The paragraph styles come over as <p> tags, and I was just thinking of my style sheet. Sorry for the confusion.
Speaking of my workflow, I'm attempting to map the styles for one topic at a time when importing a new Word file. I set up a test project to test out my style sheet, as I am upgrading from RoboHelp 7 right now. .I need to get one document to map correctly to save the settings for future imports.
From the Import window, I click the Edit... button in the Word Document section. After RoboHelp scans the Word file, a list of all the styles from the Word document display. When I attempt to select from the available styles I want to map to from my RoboHelp style sheet, I don't have the option to select the heading styles I created in my RoboHelp CSS file. Does this provide you enough information to give you context on how I am attempting to map the styles?
I found this article that leads me to belive that RoboHelp does not support mapping to a customized heading style from a CSS file. I realize that this is around the printed output, but it states the following:
If custom heading styles aren’t named in the format Heading <number>, they are not treated as headings.
If it doesn't work going from HTML to printed output, I'm guessing that there is not support going from Word to HTML. Am I wrong in this assumption? Do I just need to alter my style sheet to only use the standard <h> tags to fix this issue?

Text boxes in topics from Word 2010

I'm using RH 8 (technical communication suite 2.5): when I import a word document (Word 2010) all the topics are included in boxes. How can I correct this?

Of course.
I attach a screenshot of the design area of RoboHelp with a sample topic from a DOC generated with word 2010

Hyperlinks not converting when creating a pdf from Word 2010 to Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6

First off, let me say that these are not table of contents hyperlinks. I have created a document in Word 2010 (not a MAC) with hyperlinks to files residing on our company's intranet. In Word the hyperlinks work great but when I create the pdf, the links do not work. I have converted using both PDFMaker from Word and Create a pdf from within Acrobat. Yes, I have all the boxes checked regarding saving links. The links appear to work partially. Meaning that when I hover the cursor over the link, the pointy finger appears but when I click I get a pop-up message telling me the file could not be opened. Also, when I hover over the hyperlink, the address appears. So, I think it knows there's a link and it tries to open but can't. When I create the file within Adobe the link works - once. When I click on the link I get a pop-up window asking me if I want to save my file before closing. After my response the file closes and the linked file opens. However, when I go back into the file and try the hyperlink again, I get the pop-up telling me the file cannot be opened. HELP! I am at my wits end. After spending hours yesterday trying to research (I think I read every thread related to hyperlinks but I am not using a Mac, table of contents or Adobe 7 around which it seems all the prior questions revolve) and futily creating and recreating the pdf (as if doing the same thing repeatedly would somehow magically work) I am about to give up. This is a document that will be published to our intranet for use by employees which cross-references other documents to which they can refer for additional information. I would prefer to publish a pdf and not a Word document. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your input Bill. I've checked the preferences and "view large images" is turned on. It's not all of the images which are missing, only certain ones do not transfer over to PDF.

Saving Files from Word 2010 into SharePoint 2010 document library deployed as a sandbox solution gives "Web page no longer exist" Error 410

Created a new SharePoint 2010 List Definition project, Sandbox deployment option. List Definition type: Documents Library. When attempting to save into the document library from Microsoft Word 2010 I get "The webpage no longer exists" error in

Hi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you used the custom Documents Library(List Definition using sandbox solution).
Please check whether you have removed <ContentTypeRef/> in the <ContentTypes/> tag of Schema.xml file in your project.
Here is a sample about list definition deployed as a sandbox solution, you can take a look at:

Creating PDF from Word 2010 and Acrobat X Colors Not Accurate

I'm puzzled by this one.
When we print the documents directly from Word 2012 the colors print correctly.
When we use the one click button in the ribbon. PNG files convert well, Illustrator EPS files do not. We use a logo that has Pantone Process Blue and it turns aqua.
I have tries many different setting and none convert correctly. I can make nice small files of these brochures for use on the internet, but the color is not good.
If I use the File Print to Acrobat then it converts the colors well, but the files are larger. Trying to reduce the file size as a second step does not change the file size.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Though, I'm unclear at 'when I go to print it, it blows up from about 50KB to 10MB' but could you please check the file size of the PDF soon after conversion? You can find it under File->Properties->General Tab. It shouldn't automatically increase the file size at the time of printing.
Would you be able to attach the file (if it's not confidential)?

How to remove macros from word 2010 documents?

I have some .dot files that I'm using as templates for a while.
They used to have Macros to do some stuff and I started to replace those macros with Add-ins.
What happens is that the macro menus are still there. I tried to remove the macros (using alt+f8 and even alt+f11) but the custom menus are still there! How do I exactly remove those macros and menus from my .dot files?
I am using Microsoft Word 2010.

In addition to what Stefan replied you can also check the attached templates by taking the following steps:
goto File - Options - Add ins - (Below) Manage : choose templates - in the next dialog click on the template and click remove.
