• Any number formats supported by Microsoft Word but not InDesign will have InDesign’s default numbering style
applied.
• Imported Bullets will have a Unicode value for the first character of a bulleted string with the remaining string being
treated as text.
• Paragraph shading fill and patterns (style and color)
• Page borders
• Columns
• Headers and footers
• Endnote numbering formatting (imported as regular text at the end of the imported text)
• Table borders (formatting is preserved at cell level for visual similarity)
• Section styles
• Group properties
• HTML and OLE control objects in RTF files
• Hidden text (hidden text is not imported)
• Highlighting
• Document variables, comments and properties
• Bookmarks
• Drawing objects, other than Autoshapes with added text
• Annotation
• Bi-directional language support
• Form fields
• Page numbers
• Color in revision bars
• Objects from Equation Editor version 1.0 or 2.0 (imported as images)
• Macros
• Font kerning
• Document templates
• Word art (imported as images when importing RTF files)
• Word drawings
• Nested tables (for example, a table inside a table cell)
• File protection (password protected files are not imported)
• Hyperlinks applied to Autoshapes and Text Boxes
• Endnotes markers, these get converted to a default numbered sequence (e.g., 1,2, 3.)
• Numbering sequence with outline numbering, in which the numbering is restarted
In addition to these unsupported features, please note the following differences in formatting and styles after
importing a Word document:
• Thick border lines in Word documents appear as thin border lines with wider spacing (as Word assigns line weights
to double border lines differently).
