Word Export/Import- styles
Posted: 2008-05-30 23:43:31
I'm working on a book written in Word 04 on a Mac.
No graphics or tables, no images at all. Just paragraphs of formatted text, formatted using six different styles.
Styles and page layout load perfectly into Pages 08 and export perfectly too...
But When NWPro imports that Word Doc: styles while listed don't import properly, some formatting lost, paragraph margins in particular. The styles appear in the styles palette but aren't configured correctly. The individual paragraphs are tagged with the style in question but the margins have been changed. Paragraph and font characteristics are generally correct bar font color, but size, leading and space after preserved. That all noted, it's a very simple if lengthy document and I've not fully implemented (yet) all that we intend doing.
It'll be a pain resetting paragraph margins each time we swap a file.
I'm hoping to go back and forth with the author with a Word File as the exchange format and I'll need to preserve styles. Do I have to stick with Pages here? Is there something I can do?
