About import filters

InDesign imports most character and paragraph formatting attributes from text files but ignores most page-layout

information, such as margin and column settings (which you can set in InDesign). Note the following:

• InDesign generally imports all formatting information specified in the word-processing application, except

information for word-processing features not available in InDesign.

• InDesign can add imported styles to its list of styles for the document. A disk icon appears next to imported

styles. (See Convert Word styles to InDesign styles.)

• The import options appear when you select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box, or when you import an

Excel file. If Show Import Options is deselected, InDesign uses the import options last used for a similar document

type. The options you set remain in effect until you change them.

• If InDesign cannot find a filter that recognizes a file by either its file type or file extension, an alert message appears.

For best results in Windows, use the standard extension (such as .doc, .docx, .txt, .rtf, .xls, or .xlsx) for the type of

file you’re importing. You may need to open the file in its original application and save it in a different format, such

as RTF or text-only.

For more information on import filters, see the Filters ReadMe PDF file at

Microsoft Word and RTF import options

If you select Show Import Options when placing a Word file or an RTF file, you can choose from these options:

Table Of Contents Text Imports the table of contents as part of the text in the story. These entries are imported as text

only.

Index Text Imports the index as part of the text in the story. These entries are imported as text only.

Footnotes Imports Word footnotes. Footnotes and references are preserved, but renumbered based on the document’s

footnote settings. If the Word footnotes are not imported properly, try saving the Word document in RTF format and

importing the RTF file.

Endnotes Imports endnotes as part of the text at the end of the story.

Use Typographer’s Quotes Ensures that imported text includes left and right quotation marks (“ ”) and apostrophes (’)

instead of straight quotation marks (" ") and apostrophes (').

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.
