If it’s a Word 2013 file, we often rename it to a zip file. When you open the zip, the images can be found in a subfolder. This, in case no one can give you the originals.

Just a guess, did you try to repair Acro? I had a problem selecting text, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. I’m on a win 7 64b, but after repairing (not uninstall and reinstall) all got workng fine again.

OK. Maybe I’m not using the right quotes. What you can do to see if it’s the case:
copy the grep style into a document and change all the quotes into those you need. Then, copy the string back into the grep style and test it.

This is how I do it:
1. Create a char style “NoBreak” (check in basic char format “No Break”, leave all the rest blank)
2. In your para style, create a grep style with:

Apply Style = NoBreak
to Text = \d(?=’)|[\u](?=’)|(?<! )’

Should do the trick

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

Dwayne, thanks. I’m always looking for possibilities to make our workflow better and faster, hence the question. Xtags isn’t really an option for us, and indeed, the CC tagging is too complicated to be fast. We used Pagemaker in the “good old days” and used a lot of it’s tagging. We now only use the word macro or the preptext script. Thnks for the reply.

We always run a macro, then we just use “copy-paste” to import the word file. In case of problems, we try the “rtf” format, then the txt.
If we still encounter severe problems, we use the “preptext” script to get the “basics” in.
