Reply To: Word vs. InD for prepping text

doc, It might work but I've never been a fan of doing that for anything important.

There are two issues. First, there's no assurance it will be totally accurate. Second, it may well violate the font license. If it's a high quality font, I'm sure there's going to be Windows and Mac versions available. If not, use the Windows version.

If this is a new project, I would certainly be looking for some pro OpenType fonts. It just makes the job much easier and finding a font with all the goodies (small caps, swashes, old style figures, ligatures, etc.) makes for a much more attractive document.
