Reply To: Random Bolding of Text

I think all that will do is export the stuff that is wrong. It’s still going to flow in originaly and you’re going to have that bold stuff from the Word file.

I’m thinking the problem was due to downsaving. It’s also possible that different fonts were used in the Word file. I know I’ve received Word files where Calibri is used, as well as Times, Courier, etc. And sometimes they use character styles. Sometimes those combinations wreak havoc when I run my macros.

I usually don’t import Word files into InDesign. We run macros to capture the italic, bold, small caps, superiors, etc., and tag it. Then we save as a .txt file and import that.
