Microsoft Word and RTF import options
If you select Show Import Options when placing a Word file or an RTF file, you can choose from these options:
Imports the table of contents as part of the text in the story. These entries are imported as text only.
Imports the index as part of the text in the story. These entries are imported as text only.
Imports Word footnotes. Footnotes and references are preserved, but renumbered based on the document’s footnote settings. If the
Word footnotes are not imported properly, try saving the Word document in RTF format and importing the RTF file.
Imports endnotes as part of the text at the end of the story.
Ensures that imported text includes left and right quotation marks (“ ”) and apostrophes (’) instead of straight
quotation marks (" ") and apostrophes (').
Removes formatting, such as typeface, type color, and type style, from the imported
text, including text in tables. Paragraph styles and inline graphics aren’t imported if this option is selected.
When you choose to remove styles and formatting from text and tables, you can select Preserve Local Overrides to
maintain character formatting, such as bold and italics, that is applied to part of a paragraph. Deselect this option to remove all formatting.
When you choose to remove styles and formatting from text and tables, you can convert tables to either basic, unformatted
tables or unformatted, tab-delimited text.
If you want to import unformatted text and formatted tables, import the text without formatting, and then paste the tables from Word into InDesign.
Preserves the Word document’s formatting in the InDesign or InCopy document. You
can use the other options in the Formatting section to determine how styles and formatting are preserved.

the same page breaks used in Word, or select Convert To Column Breaks or No Breaks.
Preserves inline graphics from the Word document in InDesign.
Imports all styles from the Word document, even if the styles aren’t applied to text.
Imports bullets and numbers as actual characters, preserving the look of the paragraph. However, in
numbered lists, the numbers are not automatically updated when the list items are changed.
Selecting this option causes Track Changes markups from the Word document to appear in the InDesign document. In InDesign,
view track changes in Story Editor.
Imports styles from the Word document into the InDesign or InCopy document. If a yellow warning triangle appears
next to Style Name Conflicts, then one or more paragraph or character styles from the Word document have the same name as an InDesign style.
To determine how these style name conflicts are resolved, select an option from the Paragraph Style Conflicts and Character Style Conflicts menu.
Choosing Use InDesign Style Definition causes the imported style text to be formatted based on the InDesign style. Choosing Redefine InDesign
Style causes the imported style text to be formatted based on the Word style, and changes existing InDesign text formatted with the Word style.
Choosing Auto Rename causes the imported Word styles to be renamed. For example, if InDesign and Word have a Subheading style, the
imported Word style is renamed Subheading_wrd_1 when Auto Rename is selected.
InDesign converts paragraph and character styles but not bulleted and numbered list styles.
Lets you use the Style Mapping dialog box to select which InDesign style should be used for each Word style in the
