Big freeze of ID of Word document text import

I converted a long Word document to PDF via InDesign and when I import the Word doc text, ID always freezes.

I want to preserve styles and formatting in the text but, unfortunately, the freeze occurs at the beginning when the progress bar of the document implementation of Microsoft Office Word 2007 displays either "treatment of attributes of character...". "or"processing the attributes of table... ". »

My problem is that it's such a document with a lot of italics, bold and styles I want to resume to InDesign in order to speed up the design process.

RTF will be fine and will retain all the bold and italics and other styles. RTF is synonymous with FORMAT of TEXT RICH and I think it's better than standard saved the word .doc; to import into InDesign.

Try the following steps.

In Word:

  1. File > save as
  2. Choose rich TEXT (that way you don't overwrite the original file)

In InDesign:

  1. Start a new document - Virgin - don't worry about the page size (A4 will do) and you don't have to worry about margins (standard margin will do)
  2. Use file > place and import the RTF file you just saved
  3. If that imports ok - then select all text
  4. File > export and choose the format RTF (rich TEXT format)

Now use this new RTF import into your page layout

(there is no need to worry about the images, you must reimport all images that are in the word through file > Place; if you have images in your Word document.) Make sure that you use the same source file as when you did in Word)

The reasons for the above procedure is that there is a lot of unnecessary styles made with Word - and import in InDesign and export to RTF a charges makes a clean to use with InDesign file.

  • Simple question - alternative text of the attribute in the same Word document

    Ok. I am having a brain freeze and cannot find the answer in the help of the OPA. Simple question.

    Is there a simple way to alias an attribute for use in Word?

    For example, the following two conclusions create 2 attributes where I want only 1 attribute.

    annual percentage rate = 6
    APR = annual percentage rate

    Is there a configuration option or something to alias APR as the rate of annual percentage for use in Word? I want to use in the same Word document. Something in my head tells me that I have seen that once before, but all of a sudden, I've got a brain freeze.

    Sorry for such a simple question, but sometimes I get too deep into the weeds.

    Hi Paul,.

    You may think the style of the legend of OPA. In the 2007 OPM Office Ribbon it's called legend of the table, but I think that it works with the rules of non-table in Word as well - it is certainly used to.

    It's a style of OPA rule which can be used when you want to refer to an abridged version of an attribute, for example "APR" rather than "the annual percentage rate. According to me, that it applies only to the immediately lower rule where it has been defined in the doc and the doc not complete.

    I did a quick search in the help of the OPM and found references to the style of legend, but I have not found a description of the functionality (search is not too good if).

    Essentially how it works...

    Above the rule to write the version abridged, then the word "is", then the text of the full attribute, for example

    APR is the annual percentage rate
    

    Side note: I have always "BOLD" the "is" in the callout line. It is not necessary, but I want to do it because it makes it more clear at a glance what part is the shorthand and which part is the text of the full attribute.

    Then apply the style of the legend of the table to the line, then put your Word table or the ordinary rule underneath, for example

    [legend]APR is the annual percentage rate
    
    the result = APR * 10 
    

    I use this feature occasionally. Usually it is when I have calculations in Word tables and I'm trying to make the more readable left column, for example using something "APR" in the formula so that it does not take much space.

    See you soon,.

  • How does the index start and end in the reference Word text VI to a word document?

    How a correlation between the index values start and end to a position or coordinate in a Word document?

    Is it a type of lookup table that will refer to a value of say '35' (to start) to a line or a particular character of the position in a Word document? There is nothing in LV help which explains nothing other than the value '-1 '.

    Hey, JayB,.

    The start and end of the Text.vi in Format Word values are the positions of the characters in the document. The values start at 0 on the first (or ASCII character such as a space, tab, or carriage return) and for each character (or the ASCII character). So for example if I wanted to "BOLD" the word "carrots" in the list below, where the values start at 0 on the word 'grocery store '.

    Grocery store:

    Apples

    Black berries

    Carrots

    Detergent

    Then I would enter a start 33 and the end of the 40s, making sure to count the ramasseherbe returns and spaces.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Officejet 6500 E709n wireless. Will not print Word documents or text edit.

    I'm connected wireless with an iMac Snow Leopard and MacAir 10.8.2, Mountain Lion 10.6.8.  I have used this system for a year, had no problems printing to date.  I am able to print a .jpg attachment but nothing else, we try to print (from computers) is printed.  I tried to print a Word document as well from a text edit page with no luck.  Two days ago, I was able to print from a Word document - nothing has been changed on the computer or the printer.  I am naïve.

    Hello

    The model does not OCR functionality as part of the HP software.

    To scan the form of editable text, you will need to use any 3rd party OCR software.

    If you have Microsoft Office installed on your PC, most likely the suite will provide you with such a feature:

    1. Microsoft OneNote in Office 2010
    2. MS Office Document Imaging and Scanning in Office 2003 or 2007.

  • DeskJet Ink Advantage 2520hc: print error every time that a text is added or subtracted (edited) in a word document

    Hello.

    I've been using this printer for over a year now & for the last few months, I was faced with a weird problem. Whenever I'm adding or subtracting the text (s) in a word document, the print gets error. I mean, after you have created a document word if I change it, then it is printed becomes defective. I tried to solve this problem by trying the printer allignment option or option of head cleaning, but didn't get any solution. In order to obtain a perfect impression, I have to create a new document word again. I am trying to express my problem by the picture below.

    Please help me solve this problem.

    Thanking you,

    Waiting for your response,

    Hello @music2soul and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you are experiencing printing problems.  I would like to help!

    You have problems, make a copy?

    I would recommend starting with a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I recommend also to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    The Acrobat application provides no ability to language translation.
    If you locate the language for the applications from the OS, MS Office, Acrobat, etc. to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of the content in a web site based in PTE (Bing or Google offers a free service).
    Transfer the output in a word-processing program that is localized in the appropriate language.
    Perform the cleaning.

    Problems of conversion of PDF to MS Word document.  I managed to convert 4 files and now the subsequent files generate a "Conversion failed" error when you try to convert the file.  I have a big manuscript and I separated each chapter to help the conversion; as I said, the first 4 pieces without problem, then the conversion failure.  I tried to convert the document integer and same result.  Specifically, I bought the feature export to Word.  Please help.  I had initially export the Word Perfect PDF document and attempting to pass PDF to MS Word.

    Hi sdr2014,

    I'm sorry to hear that your conversion process is at a standstill. It seems that the problem is not specific to a single file, you have been unable to convert anything, since the first four chapters of a correct conversion.

    So, let's try this:

    If you want to convert via the ExportPDF site, please sign out, clear the browser cache, and then reconnect. If you use the drive, please choose Help > updates to ensure that you have installed the latest version.

    Please let us know how it goes.

    Best,

  • When I create a file, why the PDF is text aligned on different pages of my word document?

    I am trying to create a PDF of a document Word Mac.  In the conversion process text seems to shift - which was on the bottom of the first page in the Word document appears on page 2 of the pdf.  Any thoughts?

    It's normal. Word past stuff from one page to the other whenever he likes. The key is to make sure that this does not damage your document, for example never typing page numbers or using returns to finish a page.

  • Switching to text in an InDesign file done with text in a Word document?

    Hello
    As I recently started working with InDesign, this question may seem quite silly. I have a finished InDesign file and what I have to do is to replace the text in the InDesign document with the text in a Word document. The text frames must remain in the same places, fonts may be the same, etc., so I just wanted to know how to replace this text in the InDesign document without copy - paste the text in the Word file in each text block. Basically, I have a guide to the user of a device in one language, and I have to insert the translated text that the user guide is in another language. Is it by linking documents?

    Yours faithfully,

    VerySeriousPerson

    It is a way to do it. But you will need to format the new document with paragraph styles.

    1. Open existing document ID
    2. Save as and change the file name (language to translate to?)
    3. Insert the cursor at the beginning of the document
    4. CRLT/SHIFT/END to select all of the text in the document (this is for Windows)
    5. Delete
    6. File/Place the file with the text you want. Make sure that you press SHIFT while placing the file, the text flows to all text frames.
    7. Format the document as you wish

    Second step is very important to keep the original file.

  • How to place a word document as text autoflows on all other pages boxes?

    Is it possible to place a word document in InDesign that boxes of text autoflows on all other pages?

    Example of

    Page 1 of imports of word on page 1 in indesign doc,

    page 2 of word doc imports on page 3 in indesign,

    page 3 of doc word is important to page 5 in indesign, etc.

    Take that, a different word doc and import in the pages of the same indesign document,

    Example of

    Page 1 of doc #2 word matter on page 2 in indesign,

    page 2 of #2 word doc matter on page 4 in indesign,

    page 3 of doc #2 word matter on page 6 in indesign, etc.

  • Moving text pasted from a word document

    It must be a common problem, but I can't find the magic key features. I glued many segments of the word documents on my web page. Text alignment can be not quite what I want. Maybe I need to remove a letter or a Word, or change a Word.  HOW can I add white space? before a single letter (as in the use of the space bar or the tab key which is available in all text editors)

    It seems easy to move "left" text by using the delete key, but "just" confused me.

    Thank you for your time

    Ralph, I must warn you.  No break space character is not intended to be used as a layout device.  It is a hold on to old days of typewriters, which almost no one uses it. If your content contains lists, use the HTML

    Use rtf or html put in shape and give it knows what an extension .doc - Word
    do with it.

    You can get the rtf or html of a member of text file using member("whatever").rtf or
    Member("whatever").html - put in a variable and save it with a xtra
    fileIO, propSave or buddyFile.

    I did not have the last Director, so I don't know what the implications of
    Unicode will be.
