Jens,

Add the following header and save your file as plain text.

<ASCII-WIN>
<Version:2.000000>

This is the bare minimum for ID to recognise the text document as a tagged text file.

If your story is already marked up with paragraph styles, you'll get a message to tell you that the style is not found and that ID is using the default style.

If you export a formated story from ID using the tagged text option, you'll be able to examine the proper header, containing all your styles in the header. I've captured most of my standard ID headers in files and using a Word macro, add them to my Word documents. I also use the same macro to convert Word styles to ID tags, so when I save the document as a text file it is actually an ID tagged text file.

It's not a bad way of working, as I can choose to save any edits in ID as a Word document and reverse the procedure.

Hope this helps,

Mike
