Reply To: Pasting from Pages to InDesign

I can confirm that behaviour with Pages 5.2 and InDesign CS6.

The same thing happens both when pasting into an existing text box in ID, and also when pasting on a blank page with the arrow tool selected.
If I paste the Pages text into TextEdit, it pastes OK (with proper line breaks), and if I copy that from TextEdit into ID, it also pastes OK.
If I add an additional “newline” (Shift-Return) between the lines in Pages, it pasted into ID with new lines but also with a pink unrecognised character at the line ends.
In all the above cases, other formatting (size, bold, italic) was preserved.

If I use a plain text editor as an intermediate stage (TextWrangler), I lose the formatting but get the paragraph marks
Odd.

Sorry, I don’t have a solution, other than a workaround of paste into TextEdit as an intermediate stage.

Good luck,
Chris.
