Hi gang, I have run into a very strange thing, hopefully someone can enlighten me... When placing a Word file into InDesign, the text is formatted, containing for instance body text (Arial), headers (Arial Bold), and some other formats like Italic or All Caps. I need to apply a new style to it, but keeping the Bold, Italic, etc., but changing the font to Times New Roman. All this is done automatically via AppleScripting, without any problems. But now I run into some files which look the same, have the same formats etc, but when applying the paragraph style, a lot of the formatted paragraphs loose all formatting and all become Times New Roman Regular. And the strangest thing: not all paragraphs loose the formatting, a few remain bold, etc. The same thing happens when doing it manually, but I can't find ANY differences between the Word files going OK and the ones going wrong :-( Has anyone seen this problem or does anyone have a clue what might go wrong? Many thanks in advance, Ton Kuypers
