Cannot place a Word specific 2010 docx in InDesign CS4

I'm trying to use the place command to align the specific text of a docx Word 2010 with InDesign CS4.

I managed in several Word 2010 (extension docx) documents to InDesign CS4 documents using the place command.

I have a specific document of 30 pages (which is not loarger others who succeeded) and when I use the command set with this file, nothing happens (and no text gets load on the slider for placement.)

I tried to re - save the word, same doc pasted its contents into a new Word document and still not get the command room to work.

There is nothing particularly unique about the file - is not any weird embedded content, just a 30 page text writtin in word document.

Any ideas what could go wrong or how to fix it?

I tried to restart Word and InDesign without change (and the rest of my word files can be placed without problems, so I guess it's something specific to this file.

NOTE - re-registration in the RTF format allows the place command work but leaves a lot of empty boxes/squares (not sure whether tabs or spaces empty or that really?)

Can work around this problem for now, but I would like to know how to get the command to place working with decent-sized Word documents (docx for word 2010 if it matters).

Thanks for any help.

It seems that there is something in the Word doc that InDesign finds offensive.  Especially if other docx import very well. Is the formatting you want to keep?  If not, I would try to save as text only to get rid of all the formatting. Or if it's a faulty stylesheet, or manual setting, try to clear the formatting palette styles.  Could be that the docx is corrupt?  Have you tried "Save as...". "and save it as an earlier version with the .doc extension?

Good luck!

  • Place .docx in InDesign cs4 does not work

    I know I must be missing something very stupid, but this is the second project, I had this problem.

    My teacher told us to put our Word documents rather than copy and paste.  I have master pages with columns and text boxes.  On the page where I want the text, I did ctrl-shift-click to activate the box...

    I tried to place my .docx and nothing appears.  I don't get the cursor changed to who has demonstrated that he is 'hanging' there either.  I tried to choose the text tool and get the flashing cursor in the box text, then using the place and it still does not work.  I clicked on just try to hang on the slider, but nothing.  What step am I missing?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    There are a number of things that could happen. One is that the docx should start with a page break or an item that is too large to fit on the page, in which case it bumped to the next page or are not visible at all. Use the 'editor' mode to see if there is any text in the history, or find a symbol of overset text (a red sign in a box) in the bottom right of the text column.

    It could also be Microsoft Weirdness - I got used to simplify files in Word before you try to place them. Turn off "track revisions" and click "accept all changes" and save or even save again in the .doc instead of docx format in case there is something that hangs the Indesign import filters.

  • Word Doc to PDF in InDesign CS4

    I have a document that contains the PDF files from Word documents (it's a story LONG and frustrating). When these PDF files is revised and I update in the InDesign file, they tend to resize, usually greater than 100%. (To avoid this, I tried a few things - 1) to make the size of the box PDF photo and 2) preparation of the box about the size of the page and the PDF positioning properly - none of these options worked. Are there other solutions. or is it inevitable?

    Bounding box is a very elastic dimension. You would probably set the preferences for scale is protected, that dimensions in this case if you are trying to make a new form of bounding box rather integrate the old size of frame in the same way.

    Hello

    I've just been bitten by the bug that causes the characters to give up when you create a PDF of a document, InDesign CS4 with a PDF file that is imported into Quark.

    Has it been resolved? I looked at the notes 6.0.2 and 6.0.3 update and couldn't see anything.

    It's quite urgent for me. If it has not been resolved, there's no work around for this?

  • InDesign CS4 do not place a word document

    Hello

    I just had to InDesign CS4 installed on my computer at work. The installation went perfectly, and I was able to open InDesign files with no problems at all. But when I tried to put a word document in one of these formats:

    1. 2010 (.doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt)
    2. same formats of 2007

    He gave me the following error message:

    either the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application

    I went into the system to see if all this relates to this specific word file is open - nothing. I made sure there is no open files office.

    If this problem is already solved, please excuse the duplication and if possible I would like to have a link to the thread.

    Thanks for your help.

    In general this error appears when the file is opened. Perhaps the temporary Word file has not deleted properly when closing.

    Thanks for checking out the Forum from HP Support.

    More recent versions of Word usually convert older file types so that you can access them.  It may be irritating, however.  See if the following helps you all:

    Your problem may be related to the "Run this program as Administrator" option.  To access the option, right-click on your MSWord icon and select "Properties".  Then choose the tab "compatibility".  If the box "Run this program as an administrator" is checked, uncheck it.

    Also, when you open a file created with a different version of the word to make sure that you save it as a file Word 2010 (click on "save under" then select "Save as type" menu drop-down "Word Document (* docx)".)  The next time you need to open this file that Word should not have to convert it for you.

    Hope this helps... and thanks for being a customer of HP!

  • Page Word doc and docx conversion

    I use a portable MacPro OS X 10.9.5 with Pages 5.2.2. When I convert to Word doc or docx, the copy becomes a hyphen, although he was not in the Pages. When I try to remove the hyphens, the document converted Pages. How can I avoid this?  I don't want to update my software because I have my previous files become inaccessible.

    When you export to Word.doc/.docx leave v5.2.2 Pages, what exactly Gets a hyphen? Pages is not a clone of Word, and export to Word is a translation process for which Apple offers absolutely no guarantee of accuracy.

    Pages v5.2.2 is the last version compatible with the Mavericks. Pages ' 09 v4.3 still work on El Capitan. What are the previous files?
