I am placing a Word document into InDesign CS6, and no matter what options I choose in the import options, the font styles are not imported into InDesign At the same time, InDesign CS3 imports all the styles perfectly from any Word file.
is there a way to manually hyphenate a word?

I have text in a frame with a table in it, connected to a Word file. Every time I try to copy text in it, InDesign goes into a loop while it refers back to the original file. It does it a bunch of times, I assume (but don't know) once for every row in the table. The loop takes three or four minutes to complete and there's nothing I can do until it's finished... I want to break that link and just have it as a normal text box, rather than a placed one. How do I do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to work out the best way to import a word document into Designer Pro 6 and am struggling.I have a 21 page word document which is formatted text only i.e. no graphics included. I have exported this from Word as a RTF file. I now want to import this into DP6 so that I can use the power of DP6 for embedding all the graphics that I want.
Ideally what I would like to be able to do is to set-up a page with a text area, import the RTF document and insert it into the textarea and for DP6 to create the following pages with flowing text areas. I don't seem to be able to do this.
I think I must be missing a trick as in Gary Bouton's excellent book on Xara Xtreme 5 he says in the section on "Pouring Text into the Layout" (Page 198), that "Xara automatically adds pages to a document to handle text that won't fit on a page.".

Is there an ideal/professional way of 'unbedding' the photos in Word and transferring them into Photoshop without losing detail?
Im trying to link mtext in an acad drawing to a word document. For example, when I write a legal description based on a drawing, in word, I want the text that I am referencing in the drawing to be linked. In other words, if I change the text in the drawing, it will automatically change the text in the word doc.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need publishing a PDF from a Word document full of diagrams created with Adobe Illustrator CS6. My diagrams are all vector. I am free to export them anyway I like. My Word doc has many cross-references, footnotes and Endnote references and a large table of contents. It is a few hundred pages long, with around 50 diagrams. I would like to preserve the original quality of the vector art and the intra-document clickable links.
Each step in the process has multiple possible paths, and each path often many options. There are 3 steps:
1) Export from Illustrator to: .ai, .pdf, .eps, .wmf, .emf
optional 1b) Convert (eg. use Acrobat to convert .ai to .doc, .eps or .ps)
2) Import to Word: drap and drop, file cut and paste, insert picture, insert object, insert object linked to file, PDF Reflow (Word 2013). I tried them all.
3) Publish to PDF from Word. Many different paths...
- Print to PDF: I have AdobePDF, PDFCreator, NovaPDF printers installed
- Save as... : Save as->AdobePDF or Save as->PDF or XPS
- Plugin toolbars: Acrobat->CreatePDF, NovaPDF->Save as PDF, PDF Architect->Convert
or
- Save as .doc and convert with Adobe Acrobat.
I have tried many different permutations. There are 4 possible errors:
E1 - The diagrams are converted into bitmaps.
E2 - The diagrams are 'linearised' - curves are converted into chains of linear sections
E3 - The diagrams are corrupted - text missing, characters changed, dotted lines become solid lines etc.
E4 - Hyperlinks are lost.
Here are some results of my tests.
I see no difference so far between Word 2007 and Word 2013. Results below stand for both.There is no difference between Word->Acrobat->CreatePDF and Acrobat->Convert Word to PDF.Illustrator -> AI -> Acrobat -> Word almost works, but diagrams are corrupted in various ways (eg. dashed lines become solid).When export from Illustrator as EPS level 2, EPS level 3, EMF, WMF and PDF and get different results depending on the path to PDF:
No links preserved:
Word->Print to AdobePDF: Good: eps2, eps3, emf Bad: PDF (E1), wmf (E2)
Word->Print to PDFArchitect: Good: eps2, eps3, emf Bad: PDF (E1), wmf (E2)
Word->Print to PDFCreator: Good: eps2, eps3, emf Bad: PDF (E1), wmf (E2)
Word->Print to NovaPDF: Good: - Bad: eps2 (E2), eps3 (E2/E3), emf (E3), PDF (E1), wmf (E2)
Word->Toolbar->PDFArchitect: Simply prints with current postscript printer. One of above.
Links preserved:
Word->Save as AdobePDF: Good: - Bad: eps2 (E2), eps3 (E2/E3), emf (E3), PDF (E1), wmf (E2)
Word->Save as PDForXPS: Good: - Bad: eps2 (E2), eps3 (E2/E3), emf (E1), PDF (E1), wmf (E2)
Word->Toolbar->Acrobat: Good: - Bad: eps2 (E2), eps3 (E2/E3), emf (E3), PDF (E1), wmf (E2)
Word->Toolbar->NovaPDF: Good: - Bad: eps2 (E2), eps3 (E2/E3), emf (E3), PDF(E1)
So, only the "Word->Print to PDF" pathways provide good quality vector diagrams, but none of these preserve intra-document links.
I have:
- Adobe Creative Cloud CS6 (Illustrator, Acrobat etc. all latest versions)
- Word 2007 (latest version (SP3 12.0.6683.5002))
- Word 2013 (Office 365 latest version)
- Access to a Mac with Word 2011.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI inherited a document (yes, you heard correctly) that was designed in Adobe Illustrator (I have the CC version). This is a 10 page document with a lot of text and fake tables. Why the original author used AI for this document but now, I wish to convert this document into a more appropriate tool.
I don't know, perhaps I shouldn't be surprized that AI doesn't have much in the way of text based exports (except PDF and pure text)... PDF isn't ideal because it outputs blocks that are out of order, making it difficult to copy and paste into another editor.
Ideally, my preference is either HTML, MS Word, FrameMaker, Robohelp, CHM, or Dita. Is there a super-secret method to export an AI document into one of those formats?

A client sent an InDesign IDML file. I opened it at exported its stories as .txt files.
When I tried to place the texts in a new InDesign CS5 document, the text displayed strangely. Mostly, I see rectangles with exes through them. It looks likethe headers of an unreadable format. Some of the characters are normal alhabetic glyphs.
When I open the text files in TextEdit, they display normally. If I copy and paste, the texts look fine in the InDesign document.
What could cause this problem, and how can I fix it?
I have been trying to create a PDF of a 36 page document. However, when I get to page 6 I get a message 'downloading font' and then the programme hangs and I have to use windows task master to close it down. There are only three fonts being used on the page and according to Font Finder no fonts are missing. This is driving me crazy and I'm fast approaching my printers deadline.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to design a large logo for a billboard ad. The dimensions are about 14'x6' I spoke with the printing company and they weren't all that helpful about DPI & such. The most info I could get was that they print at 150 DPI, and if I wanted to make my image smaller they will scale it up.
it's a very elaborate pixel based graphic that I don't want to be distorted when blown up. So, I've been trying to design at the literal dimensions of the sign, and 150 pixels/inch (in CS3). Problem is that I'm getting all kinds of scratch disk errors (even with 250gb free) and excessively long wait times between modifications to the document.
Is there any smaller size I can put this document to or anything I'm missing? I realize that I should be using a vector design, but the person I'm doing it for is very set on an elaborate pixel design with tons of detail.
I have a lot of engineering data, dimensions, etc, to enter into an existing IDCS6 Table. I need whole numbers to display full size, but fractions to be small size. I know I can use Open Type and select the Fractions option for each individual fraction, but that would take forever.
How do I create a style (or whatever) that will allow me to just type in the numbers and have them automatically apply small formatting to the fraction portion of the number whenever it sees a "/"?
Along a similar line, I was trying to copy table data from a PDF document from Acrobat X Pro and paste that into an IDCS6 table, so each cell is populated by the appropriate cell data from the PDF file, but didn't have any success. That would really save me a lot of time, because I have many complete tables in PDF format. The data is not protected in the PDF, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to bring it over to IDCS6.

I am trying to place an .eps image on an InDesign document, however, the blue bounding box in Illustrator is cropping part of the image. I can see the full image in Illustrator. Maybe the bounding box is too close to the edge of the logo? Below is the what it looks like when I place it in InDesign and what it looks like in Illustrator. Is there a way I can include the missing part of the image? I am not the creator of the logo and received it from another company.

Do you think the file is corrupt? My InDesign works well with all other documents. I have seen this before with some 4 pg documents that have a lot of pictures. Should I be making them as books rather than documents? I've never used the book setting before.
