Convert Word styles to InDesign styles

While importing a Microsoft Word document into InDesign or InCopy, you can map each style used in Word to a corresponding style in InDesign or
InCopy. By doing so, you specify which styles format the imported text. A disk icon

appears next to each imported Word style until you edit the

style in InDesign or InCopy.

1. Do one of the following:

To add the Word document to existing text in InDesign or InCopy, choose File > Place. Select Show Import Options, and then double-
click the Word document.

To open the Word document in a stand-alone InCopy document, start InCopy, choose File > Open, and then double-click the Word file.

2. Select Preserve Styles And Formatting From Text And Tables.

3. Select Customized Style Import, and then click Style Mapping.

4. In the Style Mapping dialog box, select the Word style, and then select an option from the menu under InDesign style. You can choose the

following options:

If there is no style name conflict, choose New Paragraph Style, New Character Style, or choose an existing InDesign style.

If there is a style name conflict, choose Redefine InDesign Style to format the imported style text with the Word style. Choose an existing
InDesign style to format the imported style text with the InDesign style. Choose Auto Rename to rename the Word style.

5. Click OK to close the Style Mapping dialog box, and then click OK to import the document.

Apply styles

By default, applying a paragraph style won’t remove any existing character formatting or character styles applied to part of a paragraph, although
you have the option of removing existing formatting when you apply a style. A plus sign (+) appears next to the current paragraph style in the
Styles panel if the selected text uses a character or paragraph style and also uses additional formatting that isn’t part of the applied style. Such
additional formatting is called an override or local formatting.

Character styles remove or reset character attributes of existing text if those attributes are defined by the style.
