Reply To: Character Style Automation for Foreign words

Hi, Bambang

How is the file being set? Are you importing a word file or a tagged text file? If so, is the italic already in place for those words. If so, the italic should come through when importing.

If they are not tagged for italic or bold or a character style sheet, then I hate to say that InDesign won’t know what constitutes a foreign word.

Are you asking if InDesign will automatically know what is a foreign word and what isn’t? And then be able to automatically apply a character style?

If so, then InDesign can’t do that, so far as I know.

It will either have to be tagged in the word file or the tagged text file that you import.
