Word to indesign using xslt

Hi All,
I have copyedited word document and it was styled.
Eg:
Word Styles Name
"Chapter Title", "Chapter Sub Title", "Para", "Table Caption", "Box", " Para Indent" etc...
InDesign Paragraph Styles:
"CT", "CS", "Body", "TC", "BX", "Body Ind" etc...
How do i create a XSLT using word and indesign style Mapping.
Please suggest me.
Hurix

Some more detail would help. I'm guessing you need to do this beacuse you are using some sort of XML workflow? If you are not, then you can simply show the import options when placing a word file and map the styles there.

Telugu - Use font in Word and InDesign

For work purposes, I have to create a bilingual brochure (English - Telugu) but I'm having huge problems with finding a font that works... It needs to be usable in both Word and InDesign and also able to combine Telugu with English. Normally we use Frutiger and Meta, so any font that suits these styles would be great. Hopefully you can help me out, your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading my question!

If you're using CS4 with the hidden "World-Ready Composer" functionality (read this article), you might be able to get Telugu to render correctly. Otherwise, you're probably out of luck. Telugu requires support for rendering methods that aren't in any other version of InDesign, so I doubt that your probem is really to be found in the fonts, as you suspect.
In languages that InDesign doesn't support, I sometimes have success back-converting to ancient pre-Unicode fonts, but I've never done so with Telugu, so I can't say for sure that such a solution would work for you.

Clicking from Word to InDesign not working

I am trying to copy and paste from MS Word 2011 into the lastest CC InDesign 2014 (10.1.0.71) (on a Mavericks 10.9.4) and it is not working to simply click from Word into InDesign. I must use the toggle shortcut (Command + Tab) to activate the workspace in InDesign, then click my targeted text box.
This is an extra step in my workflow and has never been a problem in previous versions or any other software for that matter. Clicking a window should make that application active.
Please HELP! Fix!
Thanks!
K

Just realizing this is an issue across displays. Any software that I have on monitor B will not allow me to click into InDesign on Monitor A to activate the InDesign application. I must toggle, or click another application's window then click InDesign, to make it active.

Pasting Text from Word to InDesign (need preserve selected formatting)

When I import text from Word to Indesign I want to preserve the Italic and semi-bold but nothing else.
The Indesign document has a template set up with ipsum text styled with semi-bold and normal text as well as a character style for the italic.
When I paste the text into InDesign I want the ital and semi-bold to translate into the already styled text frame with no other formatting from Word.
As there will be hundreds of text frames like this I want the ital etc to automatically translate. I also need to paste text over these templated text frames (see attached.
Cheers,

Use File > Place and check the import options instead of Copy/Paste.

Importing Word into InDesign, problem with styles

OS 10.6, CS5
Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any experience with importing styled Word docs into InDesign?
Editors style their Word documents with some basic styles (Text, References, Headline, etc.) using a Word template that I created. Designers use import options to match the Word styles to the ID styles. This worked fine in Word 2004 and InDesign CS3: Word "text" style would map on import to the InDesign "text" style, even though they had totally different attributes. Superscripts, italics, etc. would be respected as local overrides in InDesign.
Then we upgraded to CS5. Automatic mapping on import no longer seems to work: After importing text, all the styles in InDesign have local overrides assigned to them that don't make sense (hyphenation exceptions, tab settings). So I'm left with importing the Word styles, using auto-renaming so that InDesign explicitly does NOT match styles.
Then delete the Word styles one by one from the paragraph style panel, replacing with the desired ID style.
This has gone on for several months and we've now upgraded to Office 2011 but that hasn't solved the problem.
With Word 2011 docx files, the import works almost like it did in CS3, the styles almost come in cleanly: If the style in Word has NO local overrides, such as italics or superscripts, the InDesign style is correctly applied. The problem is those local overrides in Word--InDesign not only respects the italic or superscript, it also respects the font attribute. All the Word styles are Times New Roman so all superscripts in InDesign are coming in as superscript + TNR. (see screenshot)
Are we left with our original work-around? Importing styles then manually deleting and replacing them?
This is frustrating because it used to be smooth and seamless and while some new features of CS5 are great, it's annoying that it's broken this fundamental function!
I've tried saving the Word files as doc or rtf instead of docx but this doesn't make a difference in this problem.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I'm an author / publisher. I write in Word and I publish with InDesign. When I'm in the review stages, I like to edit my text in Word, so I export the text as an RTF. When I import it back into InDeisgn I often find that some of the styles have annoying overrides from Word that break things. (1) Paragraph style stuff about hyphenation and (2) Characters style stuff about Character direction: Left-to-Right style.
* Easy global fix: select the whole text open the Window | Style | Paragraph window, and click the button on the bottom to remove all overrides. And do the same for the Window | Style | Character window. Before doing this, I like to check that I don’t have any italics that are in the file as overrides rather than being in there as part of a header style or as part of the Emphasis style that I try to use throughout the text instead of just an italic override. It makes me uneasy to remove all overrides, as I always worry there might be an important one I could have kept.
* (1) Specific fix for the hyphenation overrides: Make sure the hyphenation settings in the individual InDesign paragraph styles match, so far as possible, the Word global hyphenation settings in the Page Layout | Hyphenation dialog of Word. InDesign will import any Word hyphenation settings that don’t match the InDesign doc styles as overrides.
Specifically, set InDesign Hyphen Limit to ( say) 1 and set Word | Hyphenation | Hyphenation Options | Limit consecutive hyphens to the same number (say) 1. Also set InDesign Paragraph Style Hyphenation | Hyphenation Zone to (say) 0.5” and set Word | Hyphenation | Hyphenation Options | Hyphenation Zone to the same number (say) 0.5”. And turn off all the InDesign optional hyphenation check boxes at the bottom of the dialog, and the turn off the two check boxes in the Word Hyphenation Options box as well.In Word you should also set Hyphenation | Automatic. If you cautiously set Word Hyphenation | None the import will throw a “Hyphenation” override on the hyphenated paragraph styles, even though this maikes no sense.
You may still pick up some hyphenation related overrides on your heder styles, if you have set the headers not to hyphenate. You can either dump the overrides in InDesign or you can set your header styles to hyphenate…and be careful not have any headers actually be longer than one line.
(2) I still haven't found the fix for the Left-to-Right text override.

Using XSLT 2.0 in JDK 1.5.0

How do I set the Java Runtime to use XSLT 2.0?
The XSLT functions format-date and format-time are not being accepted. My transformation works fine without these 2 functions.
Thanks.

In other words, none of the XSLT 2.0 functions are possible with the latest JDK 1.5.0.
Even functions like tokenize, matches, substring-before, substring-after are not possible in XSL using JDK 1.5.0.
Thanks.

Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF.

Namaste InDesign gurus,
I have a problem at hand. Wondering if anyone has encoutered similar problem before? Any help is greatly appreciated. And if you're in San Francisco bay area - I can buy you a lunch :-)
Short description: Devanagari font in layed out in Indesign (using IndicPlus) does not export correctly to a PDF. All the ligatures are assembled and displayed in the PDF.
Adobe Indesign Version: InDesign CS5 Design Premium - regular U.S. version (not ME).
Steps I took:
I purchased CS5 Design Premium and also purchased the IndicPlus plugin to author sanskrit documents in InDesign. I create Sanskrit text using either of the following methods.
1) Itranslator
2) Paste the devanagari from the Itranslator directly into InDesign or paste it first into MSWord and then copy from MSWord and paste it to Indesign.
It doesn't matter how I paste it. After I apply the IndicPlus character/paragraph style so that the sanskrit looks good in InDesign, when I try to export it to a PDF. The PDF does not display the ligatures currectly. It just lists all the characters in order without assembling.
I've spent a lot of money buying CS5, IndicPlus and then I can't even create a simple PDF document from InDesign. It is very frustrating.
Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
(Please let me know if my problem description needs more fleshing out).
I could create the PDF from MSWord directly but I'm trying to use indesign to layout my book. If InDesign cannot export to PDF I'll just have to use MSWord for my book layout. I've spend probably scores of hours trying to learn InDeisn and formatting my book content - seems like it is all going to be waste.
Is MSWord the best choice or only choice for laying out books that have sanskrit text in them?
-Ravi

Has anyone been able to successfully export a sanscrit document from InDesign PDF ?
Not Sanskrit, no, but plenty of Hindi, Nepali, Marathi, and other languages written in Devanagari script - so it should be possible. I don't even use IndicPlus, which by most accounts makes working with Indic text much easier.
1) Itranslator
I've never seen this, but a quick Google led me to the homepage of ITranslator for Windows, where I saw this:
Itranslator 99 (Build 1.3.0.86) & New Beta Version
uses 8-bit true type fonts and is compatible
with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
For more information, click here.
Itranslator 2003 (Build 2.0.0.38) & New Beta Version
uses 16-bit Unicode-compatible fonts and is working
only on Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003.
For more information, click here.
So, if you're using ITranslator 99, there's the problem - those "8-bit true type fonts" won't work in InDesign. Can you post a sample of the text you're trying to paste into InDesign? Name the font(s) you are using, both in Word and in Indesign, and if possible make a small sample of the text available for us to test. It's also possible that InDesign is using a substituted font, which could cause this problem. So, if the font name in InDesign has brackets around it, you know that InDesign doesn't actually have that font installed and is auto-substituting. Also, if you go to View -> Screen Mode -> Normal and the text is highlighted pink, you know that the font has dropped. (Unless the highlighting for dropped fonts was turned off - check in Edit -> Preferences -> Composition and make sure that "Substituted Fonts" is checked.
Also, for what it's worth, is there any way you could Place your text instead of copying and pasting? This may be cause of your problem - but even though it probably isn't, it's still worth a try.
Lastly - no, I've found InDesign to be superior for typesetting for almost all languages, but the learning curve is pretty steep, and many of the problems faced by people working in non-English languages are not easy to research when you have a problem.

Using XSLT 2.0 in Web gallery engine

Hello, I would like to use XSLT 2.0 for web album output files creation (converting XML to index.html for example) I would like to take advantage of the new features in XSLT 2.0. Does Lightroom supports XSLT 2.0? If not, is there any way to extend the existing XSLT 1.0 parser? I'm specifically looking to use <xsl:result-document> element. Thank you

In other words, none of the XSLT 2.0 functions are possible with the latest JDK 1.5.0.
Even functions like tokenize, matches, substring-before, substring-after are not possible in XSL using JDK 1.5.0.

Losing word format when 'Placing' from Microsoft Word to InDesign

Hi Everyone,
Whenever I place(import) a word document with some text/charts into InDesign the format seems to go all over the place and I find myself trying to put everything back in place(despite having done the formatting in WORD previously). Is this an issue with InDesign or am I doing something wrong? Please help me out..
Thanks,
Agassi

You'll have to be more descriptive.
Is it the styles like Bold, Italic, Superscript etc.?
Is it the layout? The tables going wonky?
When you import a word file you can go to File>Place, locate the file and then in the lower left corner of the Place Dialog Box is SHOW OPTIONS.
Here you can select multiple ways to import the file retaining or disgarding styles, footnotes, tables, numbered lists etc.
When you retain the styles the styles are not built the same as InDesign would have you build them. Unless you were meticulous about the Word Styles you used and created Bold Character styles and Italic Character Styles when building the Word file.
Otherwise you get all the text with Paragraph Styles that are overridden, like if you have a paragraph style with Times Roman and mid-way through the paragraph stylet he Times Roman changes to Times Roman Bold, well then in InDesign that is considered a Text Format Override, which is donated by the + symbol being active in the Paragraph Style Panel at the bottom. If you place the text cursor in this bold text and hit the Paragraph Override button (+) then it reverts back to Times Roman.
A nifty script to get around this is http://www.indesignsecrets.com/downloads/PreserveLocalFormatting.jsx
Copy that text to notepad or a text editor (not word as it upsets things) save the file as PreserveLocalFormatting.jsx and run the script on text in the document)
How to install and use scripts

The script will create Character Styles for any text that needs it in the selected story(s)
http://indesignsecrets.com/how-to-install-scripts-in-indesign.php
As for Tables
I'm not a big fan of Word Tables anyway, and Word uses RGB anyway, so I prefer to strip out all the formatting in tables as Tabbed Text and then reformat the Table this way. I just find it does a cleaner job.

Matching styles between Word and InDesign?

In Microsoft Word, can you create new style names (both character AND paragraph) same as you can in InDesign? and if those names match those in an InDesign template you are flowing them into, will the text come in STYLED like they are set up in InDesign?

Anne-Marie Concepcion has produced a comprehensive tutorial on using Word and InDesign together. I would highly recommend anyone using these two applications to have a look at it:

Importing Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Arabic from Word to Indesign CS5.5 ME Edition

Hi,
I am currently working on 13 languages leaflet, and I am importing my word documents in using Paragraph Styles direct in to my document. The document I am producing is one continuos story, and I need to introduce Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic to the document.
I am using the Middle Eastern version of Indesign, so it can handle the text. But when I bring in the Word Document it totally ignores the Paragraph Styles for the text and places in with the font used within word.
I need to bring in the text as follows,
Chinese     MHei Light/Bold
Japan          DFGothicPStd W2/W5
Korean          SMGothicStd Light/Bold
Arabic          GeezaPro Regular/Bold
Is it the formatting of the Word Document I need to concentrate on, or the way I introduce this in to InDesign?
The styles I want work if I set them by hand, but I need them to work when importing the Word Document as I have many of these to produce,
Thanks
Steve

Your line breaks will most likely be incorrect if you don't turn on the Japanese Composer.
It is almost absolutely impossible to accomplish your goal without having a font - any font - installed on your system that has that glyph. However, if it's showing up in Word, than means that you must have that glyph installed, right? What font are you trying to use in InDesign? You might already know that Word will auto-substitute fonts when it encounters a missing glyph, so we really don't know what font is being used to render that one glyph. The whole sentence might be in MS Mincho but one glyph might be pulled from another font if MS Mincho doesn't have that glyph.
That being said, you're going to break it if you don't know how to set Japanese type in ID. It's not something where you can just copy text out of email and paste into your English layout.

How to copy Chinese text from MS Word to Indesign CS5.5

Hello, I am a beginner and wanted to simply copy Chinese characters from MS WOrd to indesign CS 5.5. But it showed up in indesign as a bunch of squares. ANyone knows how to do it right? Thanks

Joel Cherney wrote:
If you cannot find any of these, the InDesign installation disk comes with a bunch of free high quality fonts, courtesy of Adobe.
Use those.
The chances are quite small that you will offend your Chinese readership by setting text in an overtly Japanese font like Mincho or Kozuka - but the chance is a non-zero chance. All the right glyphs are there, of course (thank you Unihan), but typographic standards differ between the two languages, and there's no sense in taking the risk.
Ah -- apologies! Wait, let me check my ID ... I got
* Apple LiGothic, Apple LiSung (installed by default on OS X)
* BiauKai (umm, don't know)
* Adobe Fan Heiti
* STHeiti
* LiHei Pro
* LiSong Pro
* Adobe Ming Std
* Adobe Fangsong Std
* GB18030Bitmap (exactly what it says: a bitmap font, and you can use it in InDesign! A bad idea...)
* Hei
* Heiti SC
* Adobe Heiti Std
* Hiragino Sans GB
* Kai
* Adobe Kaiti Std
* Adobe Song Std
.. and yet even more. If you are working on Windows, you get a couple of "MS Xxx" fonts as well, and in that case you are definitely better off with Adobe's set.
I must admit I only see the difference because Japanese fonts usually do not include a "full" set of glyphs (at least, not the "usual" 3,000 to 10,000). Joel, care to point out some tell-tale glyph forms?

It's the PDF.
Usually, you can copy text out of a PDF, but there is no guarantee *at all*. Older software used to take shortcuts to subset fonts: first character it encountered got coded as #1, the next as #2, etc. etc. If you do a search & replace of each of the nonsense characters, you'll slowly see the original text appearing (thst's not as simple as it sounds, though).
A similar "problem" is that sometimes spaces don't get copied (there is no need for a "Space Character" in a PDF), and that you cannot copy contiguous lines of text as a single paragraph. All of it is because a PDF is not intended nor designed to be re-used after creation.
If you really need this text and don't want to type it in, try to get hold of the original file.

How to Count schedule lines in IDoc ORDERS05 using XSLT Mapping

Hi Experts,
In a Scenario where we are sending Purchase order (ORDERS05) to SAP SNC using XSLT Mapping,
where in we need to count the no. of schedule lines against the Purchase Order line.
As in Schedule line segment there is no such provision, so it needs to be handle in XSLT mapping to count the schedule lines.
Can you all please guide me how to go about the same.
Regards,
Nitin P

Hi Satish,
Thank you very much for the reply,
as there is only Quantity and other information is maintained against schedule lines how we can count the schedule line repeatation against PO line ? Is that very simple as you suggested or some other consideration also needs to be taken.
Please clarify the same and let me also know if there are some standard documents also for the same.
Regards,
Nitin P

Thanks for your information. I, however, already thought about using string stream instand of a XML file to pass in data. I am looking for a more intelligent method. It doesn't seem to have one so far.
