Remove Styles And Formatting From Text And Tables 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.
Preserve Local Overrides 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.
Convert Tables To 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.
Preserve Styles And Formatting From Text And Tables 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.
Manual Page Breaks Determines how page breaks from the Word file are formatted in InDesign or InCopy. Select
Preserve Page Breaks to use the same page breaks used in Word, or select Convert To Column Breaks or No Breaks.
Import Inline Graphics Preserves inline graphics from the Word document in InDesign.
Import Unused Styles Imports all styles from the Word document, even if the styles aren’t applied to text.
Convert Bullets & Numbers 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.
Track Changes Selecting this option causes highlighting and strikeout to appear when you edit the imported text in
InCopy while Track Changes is turned on; deselecting this option causes all the imported text to be highlighted as a
single addition. Track Changes can be viewed in InCopy, not InDesign.
Import Styles Automatically 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 style from
the Word document has 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 that 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.
Note: InDesign converts paragraph and character styles but not bulleted and numbered list styles.
Customize Style Import Lets you use the Style Mapping dialog box to select which InDesign style should be used for
each Word style in the imported document.
Save Preset Stores the current Word Import Options for later reuse. Specify the import options, click Save Preset,
type the name of the preset, and click OK. The next time you import a Word style, you can select the preset you
created from the Preset menu. Click Set As Default if you want the selected preset to be used as the default for future
imports of Word documents.
