Here’s Richard from Berlin, Germany. Many thanks, Terry! You've solved the problems that we all have when importing well-meant pre-formatted texts again and again - and although English is not my native language, I understood everything perfectly. and I will soon deal with the implementation of the next order. Thank you again!
Love your videos Terry! Just wanted to add that if the Word doc contains a style you don't have a substitute for in your InDesign doc, you can create a new style while still in the Style Mapping dialog box. The option is in the drop down menu for the InDesign style.
Wish I had found this video few years back. I was just complaining how InDesign didn't let me click the paragraph style I wanted but brought in the word styles. Thank you will save a lot of time
I think I commented before, thanks for the information dude, I have a Reference List already formated and thought I had to format it manually again X_x. Cheers!
That's a great video. Very instructive. So I have a Word template and have to do all my documents in InDesign. Is it possible to have the Word styles brought into InDesign? Also, somehow only the first page of my Word document is getting imported into InDesign. What could I be doing wrong?
I can't get my text to come in correctly. I keep getting the + sign in the Paragraph styles and I have to click it for it to change to the proper style. What am I doing wrong?
Every time I use style mapping, it outputs a weird combination of the InDesign styles I have set up and and the Word Style it had. For example, it will be the right size but the wrong font.
Thansk for the tutorial. Dumb question from an InDesign novice: when you placed the Word doc, how did you get the text to fill out across the entire book?
Dear @TerryLWhite Too bad "Customize Style Import" (10:05) doesn't work anymore. I've done it several times, but Word has perma-styles attached and no matter what style I assign, it will import whatever style it wants. Why is MS Word still the standard? It doesn't get along with any Adobe product? This issue has made my job 1000x harder. I have a 200 page doc, that I have to literally go through paragraph by paragraph because "Customize Style Import" does NOT WORK anymore. Maybe it did 3 years ago, but not anymore, my friend. Any other suggestions???
Is it possible to import mendeley references to indesign? Or if you already have references in ms word can them be imported? Thanks , hope you understand my poor English
A little frustrating that, just after about timestamp 9:30, the three options of: - Import Unused Styles - Track Changes - Convert Bullets & Numbers to Text Are completely skipped over. Otherwise a comprehensive and informative look at importing Word content. - Import Unused Styles I still seem to be getting a LOT of unused styles included when I select this option so some clarification on how it actually worked would have been wonderful - Track Changes No, it's not self-explanatory - does this option result in "Agree/Apply all Tracked Changes"?? Or does it just highlight all of the Tracked Changes?? - Convert Bullets & Numbers to Text - Bullets are a bit of a dark art in that they can be very unstable when moving from Mac to Windows and vice versa so skipping over this one without some exposition is probably an unwelcome oversight.
This is the most anoying thing. client says: i formated the text for you so it must be cheaper right. okay one thing is more worst: my son was creating a logo for you in word. thank you. *headdesk*

Thank you so much. I had to learn the hard way before seeing this video but now I have learned a valuable lesson. You're the best, Mr. White.
you are a brilliant teacher
Thanks, the language and accent is very clear.👍
Thank you Terry, now if I can get the content creators all on the same stylized Word doc.
This is brilliant and I so wish I had known this earlier. I've been working on a 270 page book with the text coming from Word.
I`m from Brasil. Very thanks, Terry! Yours videos are amazing.
You're good, Terry...thank you.
Thank you, super helpful!

Thank you Terry time saver solution . :)
My best teacher
Hello from Australia
That's a great video. Very instructive. So I have a Word template and have to do all my documents in InDesign. Is it possible to have the Word styles brought into InDesign? Also, somehow only the first page of my Word document is getting imported into InDesign. What could I be doing wrong?
Great tips. Thanks

Great things, thanks! 😀

YESSS THANK YOU!!!

Thank you as always!
when I import the .doc file or the project conflicts with the underline (inside the indesign)
what could i do? someone?
Impressive!
Is it possible to import mendeley references to indesign? Or if you already have references in ms word can them be imported? Thanks , hope you understand my poor English
You rock!
A little frustrating that, just after about timestamp 9:30, the three options of:
- Import Unused Styles
- Track Changes
- Convert Bullets & Numbers to Text
Are completely skipped over.
Otherwise a comprehensive and informative look at importing Word content.
- Import Unused Styles
I still seem to be getting a LOT of unused styles included when I select this option so some clarification on how it actually worked would have been wonderful
- Track Changes
No, it's not self-explanatory - does this option result in "Agree/Apply all Tracked Changes"?? Or does it just highlight all of the Tracked Changes??
- Convert Bullets & Numbers to Text - Bullets are a bit of a dark art in that they can be very unstable when moving from Mac to Windows and vice versa so skipping over this one without some exposition is probably an unwelcome oversight.
Adobe actually has charismatic people interfacing for them.
