Reply To: InDesign drop paragraphs on text import

I know in old versions of Word that authors/editors would highlight the paragraph text and tag it a “hidden” or something. The text would still show up, but when you imported or printed, it would not appear as it was hidden.

I believe it was prior to Word 2011 when it happened. In Word 2016–it definitely disappears (i.e., is invisible), but in older versions, it showed up and you could see it–but it disappeared when importing.

As a note–it would appear if saved as a text file.

Check the .rtf file and highlight the text and go to the font style. If “hidden” is checked, then that is the problem.
