Link or embed imported text files
By default, text you place in InDesign is not linked to the original text file. However, if you select the Create Links When
Placing Text And Spreadsheet Files option in File Handling preferences before you place a file, the name of the text file
appears in the Links panel. You can use the Links panel to update and manage the file. When you update a linked text
file, any editing or formatting changes applied within InDesign are lost. Because of this risk, linked text files are not
automatically updated when the original file is edited. However, you can easily use the Links panel to update content
or to unlink (embed) the file.
1 Do one of the following:
To apply this change to a document, open the document.
To apply this change to any new document you create, close all documents.
2 Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
3 To create links in placed files, select Create Links When Placing Text And Spreadsheet Files. If this option is turned
on, use the Links panel to update, relink, or remove links. If this option is turned off, text files are embedded (not
linked).
To unlink (embed) a linked text file, select the file in the Links panel, and then choose Unlink from the Links panel
menu.
