    Yup – I like the fact that Word.docx is a zip file…
    I can unzip the word file to give me all the graphics where I can run a Photoshop action

    However… can you (or anybody) think of a way of adjusting the frames for the graphics to fit the re-imported TIFF or JPG once they’re re-linked?

    That way I’d have a head start with the layout adjustment (currently graphic frames are being overlaid or extending beyond page edges)

    i.e. some kind of Graphic Style on import/link of the Word doc?

    Interestingly (or not), I’ve been in dialogue with the guy who writes the InData plugins and he has the same issue

    His plugin which dynamically links a Google Doc where the Word file has been uploaded to Google Docs imports correctly, whereas the same document as a Word file generates these massive PNG dimensions within InDesign?

    Thanks Tim –

    However, it’s the size on the layout rather than file size

    Linking or importing produces the same result – massive PNG files throwing the layout out

    I can manually adjust sizes, but I’ll be dealing with potentially thousands of these files so need a way of (preferably) linking the Word document on import, but the PNG files coming in at their original dimensions

    Any suggestions on that one?
