    Sorry for misunderstanding, Tamás. As the links and David said–it’s about installed fonts. For example, I never use a “cursive” font, but I do have a system font which has a “cursive.”

    Maybe some of the links in this google search might be helpful:

    So–you’re blaming InDdesign because you think straight quotes in certain circumstances look better in your opinion? How is that InDesign’s fault?

    Let’s be honest. We can’t expect Adobe to be magicians.
    Three style sheets makes sense (one for above/one middle/one below).

    Printers want and require different things. Your client needs to check with their printer.

    Where I work–we only package for archiving purposes for the client (when the job is done and all printed). The printer only gets the PDF at all stages.

    I get the same thing a couple of times a day with CC2017 on a Mac.

    That’s true. Sometimes em dashes look way too long.

    And as you said–there are no right or wrong answers.

    I’ve set thousands of books over the years, and it is very rare to have space on either side of an em or en dash (in my experience). And we’ve never made an em dash 80 percent of it’s size. I do recall one publisher who preferred a thin space on either side of em dashes, but that was the exception. A lot of it depends upon which country it’s being set in. For example, the UK seems to use en dashes with a space on either side instead of em dashes. Some use spaced ellipses, while others use the actual ellipses charter (non spaced).

    A good source of em dashes, en dashes, ellipses, etc., is the Chicago Manual of Style.

    Glad you were able to get it done by copying and pasting, though that sounds like a pain in the butt.

    I’m confused by the opening post.

    Is the problem the non-facing pages or is it that the poster needs help with running head variables? On one hand I thought it was about not being facing pages and things being messed up so far as positioning of running head/folio boxes, but on the other hand, the OP says he is getting the same running head on both sides.

    I’m not sure what is going on.

    I know in old versions of Word that authors/editors would highlight the paragraph text and tag it a “hidden” or something. The text would still show up, but when you imported or printed, it would not appear as it was hidden.

    I believe it was prior to Word 2011 when it happened. In Word 2016–it definitely disappears (i.e., is invisible), but in older versions, it showed up and you could see it–but it disappeared when importing.

    As a note–it would appear if saved as a text file.

    Check the .rtf file and highlight the text and go to the font style. If “hidden” is checked, then that is the problem.

    I’m not sure, but I think your round about way is basically the only way to do it.
