Hi there,
I work with InDesign CS4 Dutch for Windows.

I've got a question. When I place text from e.g. MS Word, I often get a lot of overwrites in my InDesign from the imported document. I don't want any overwrites like font type or size, etc. to show, but only italic, underlined, and/or bold. (and the odd (un)numberd list).

So far I've not been able to find a way to place a "clean" text. Should I tell the editors to get rid of any overwrites before they submit the articles (a lot of work for them, and difficult to instruct to computer illiterates)? Or is there an easier way?

Thanx in advance,

Thom Hiemstra
