    I'm new here, so Hello.

    I have a question. We have a word document which we open in Word 2004. Everything appears normal: styles, italics,…

    When we import the text into indesign CS4 and add our own styles to it, all of the sudden big chunks of text are in italic and it is impossible to get rid of them. Forcing the paragraph style on the text would make all the other italics go away to, so that is not an option. And controlling everything manually let us make to many mistakes. Any idea if there is a “hidden character style” option in word we forget to erase? Any help is usefull.

    thanks!

    Have you checked if these chunks have a character style applied in InDesign?

    I find that if you have a character style selected before you import the text (i.e. you have clicked on that character style while the cursor is not in a text frame), then all the imported text has that character style applied. Try reimporting the text, making sure that no character style is selected.
