Hi there � orginal poster here...

Anyway, the simplest way I found of getting araound it was to go into Word and create a template with a set of styles with amended indents/tabs to match the IDCS2 ones, etc.

I then wrote a macro to search for [stylename] and replace with [stylename] with indents set to zero.

I get the word file, then attach the template to it (with automatically update styles checked). This sorts out most paragraphs � I then run the macro to sort out the 'stragglers'. I save as a Word file and import this into InDesign.

This is not ideal for smallish jobs, but when dicking about with 1000+ pages of a book with consistent styles, it is the most time efficient and reliable way out.

Adobe SHOULD re-assess the quality/reliability of it's Word import filter, though. One of InDesigns many strengths is it's ability to automate production of large books. Silly not to have import filters built to match, really.
