      I set up a page with multiple linked text boxes.
      Each textbox has an object style on it who’s only attribute is a paragraph style (everything else is unchecked). I thought that by pasting in the text and linking from one to another, each part of the text would take on the style of the text box in which it has been placed.
      Have I misunderstood something?

      Another question:

      I have a page design with an element running across the top. I have half on one page, until the page boundary and another on the facing page – neither overlaps onto the page next to it.
      When I use that master page as a single page next to something else – not as a spread – both design headers come down. As far as I can see, there is no overlap. So why is this happening?

      Question 1: My guess is that you would need to choose Edit > Paste without Formatting instead of just pasting.

      Question 2: Try moving the edges of the objects even 1 point away from the edge of the page. Did that fix it?

      1. I will try that. But what about all the italics/bolds?
      2. Yes – thanks!

      Well, you can’t have everything! :-)
      The only good solution would be to apply character styles to the bold and italic text… but even then, I’m not sure it would work properly.

      You’re asking to paste formatted text in and for InDesign to be smart enough to know which formatting to keep and which to get rid of… and I don’t think InDesign is smart enough.

      Oh well.
      There’s a lot of italic transliterations so I don’t see that happening.
      Thanks for the info.
      I thought ID could translate italics to italics – like Arial italic from the Word file into my font italic in my ID file.

      Thanks, David!
