Reply To: Importing Word files into CS5: problem with style overrides

I suspect these overrides are the Hyphenation, Character Direction and Kinsoku ones that I and other people on this forum have experienced from time to time. Some of these options can't be accessed through the user interface, and you'll need a script (like the one in the link) to fix it.

I've also seen something slightly different in CS5 with RTFs. If the Word styles differ from the ID styles (for example, if they use different fonts), then when the styles are mapped, the text comes in with the Word formatting applied as a local override. I haven't found a cure for this other than the usual routine of changing desired formatting to character styles and then removing all local formatting.

I forgot to say: if you hover your mouse over the name of the paragraph style in the paragraph styles panel when your cursor is in the paragraph, a tooltip will appear showing the overrides that are applied.
