      Hi all,

      I really hope someone can help me with this.
      I have a book that was created by a colleague in MS Word 2010 and he left the page size at 8.5 x 11 inches and I need to set it in Indesign to trade paper size 6 x 9. Unfortunately everything looks hideous when using ctrl-D.
      I am a fairly new user and I am freaking out because we have a deadline and the colleague knows even less about Indesign CS6 than I do.

      Please anyone, any help will be greatly appreciated!
      Thank you so much ?

      I’m sorry to hear about this problem, but InDesign doesn’t really have a “just make it better” feature. Much probably depends on whether the Word document uses paragraph styles; if so, you might be able to redefine the styles relatively quickly in InDesign. But my guess is that you’re going to be better off hiring an InDesign expert to swoop in and fix it.
