      I have multiple word docs to bring in and each time, all though the word doc is formatted like I need (italic headers, diff font sizes etc…) Indesign brings it in double spaced although it is not that way in the word doc. At this point I am having to go to the end of each line, delete to bring the next line to the end of that one, then shift+enter to drop it down 1 line. I have 11 documents that are 5-10 pages each…. Is there a way to avoid having to do all of that??? I have tried tweaking the leading via the justification panel as I saw on another site, but it has no effect. Please help! On a deadline and cannot figure this one out! Thanks so much to any suggestions!

      Any now another issue. Brought in a different document, formatted exactly the same as above. This time it kept the space right, but when I narrowed the text box to fit where I needed it, instead of lines just dropping down as they should, they are actually laying on top of each other. I am at a complete loss!

      Just a guess, is the hyphenation OK? Leading in the para styles? Non-breaking spaces in stead of normal ones?

      Hyphenation is set at default. Everything is set at default. I did not have this issue in CS6 but just since I moved to CC 2014. Every word doc comes in with double spaced or lines overlap upon text box sizing. I can’t copy and past without loosing all the formatting that has already been done.

      Does the formatting stays OK when you apply a style, using the ALT key + style? Did you try to place the word file?

      I am bringing the docs in via placing. I did try to apply a style of just font and color and it changed all formatting.
