Anne-Marie Concpeción offers excellent techniques for preparing and importing MS Word documents. If you import RTF or Word files regularly, you cannot afford to miss this eSeminar!
Does this sound familiar? You apply a style to some text you imported into InDesign from a Word file, yet the old formatting doesn’t change. (What the heck?) You strip out a style from some other text, and it gets the “dreaded pinking.” (Yikes!) You spend your days cleaning up files from well-meaning Word users who have included bright-blue hyperlinks, Word “art,” columns aligned with spaces and tabs, manual formatting instead of styles, and all other sorts of nightmares. Gah!
Prepare to learn the dark art of Taming the Wild Word File in this must-see webinar from HerGeekness herself, Anne-Marie Concepción! In addition to wrestling with her own client’s Word files, Anne-Marie has helped thousands of InDesign users figure out what was going on with their client’s files too, and she’s going to share all her hard-won knowledge with you.
* “Maggy-ing” Word files to prevent corruption
* The Word menus and palettes that trap unsuspecting users into formatting incorrectly
* When it’s easier to fix problems in Word before import into InDesign
* Tips for creating Word templates for InDesign publications
* Secret powers of the Microsoft Word Import Options dialog box
* The best Find/Change routines and scripts for quick cleanup in InDesign
* Fixing blue hyperlinks with one keystroke
* Extracting and using Word art and embedded graphics
Handouts that summarize the webinar and include links to the resources mentioned (scripts, blogs, etc.) will be provided to all attendees. There will be a short Q&A; period, but we encourage you to e-mail your specific questions to Anne-Marie beforehand so we can try to address them during the webinar itself.
