I produce a legal publication and all feature articles are submitted in Word and feature extensive use of italics and footnotes and other sundry formatting. It seems no matter what I do, I cannot import text in our chosen bodycopy style. Typically what happens is I cmd-E and select 'existing style' - which is our body copy style - and yet when i import the text retains the formatting but remains in the font it appears in the MS word document. It also occasionally replaces all sorts of other styles with various other fonts throughout the rest of the document. In the meantime in my style sheet pane i see 'ballon text' and 'Endnote text' appear in the par and character panes.
I have tried saving the MS file as a .doc, .docx, .rtf, 97 etc etc...but the result is always the same.
This is clearly a recurring problem going way back, bt I understand QX9 fixed this. Apparently not.
Any ideas, anyone?
