Once I have it all formatted only then do I copy it and paste it into our main legal document. I remove any hyperlinks and I trash all Word styles imported telling ID to retain the formatting (because I need the bolds and italics). I then make sure the text is 5pt with 5pt leading, black, with black underlines. Asking the person up front to format the documents so this could happen would only result in additional load upon her and a mess on my end, culminating in phone calls from lawyers wondering where all their bolding and italics went. Due to the variety of outside documents we receive it's never possible to guarantee a direct one to one conversion of styles. This last bullet point may be the problem.
FONTNUKE MAC PRO
I'm using Adobe CC 2017 on a Mac Pro running OS X 10.10.something and the template was created from scratch.
FONTNUKE MAC PC
Typically these are done on PC by people working for lawyers, city government or small businesses. Word files are sent to the person who processes our legals.To track the issue down, I think we'd need to find out under which circumstances Word files are generating multiple instances of same fonts in ID.Ĭould it be the ID template? Did you try this with an empty ID document, too?ĭid you try wiping all font caches, especially those of ID, manually or with FontNuke or maybe with the help of Suitcase that I believe you're using?Ĭlick to expand.When I get into work today I will see about posting up the relevant files. Works without issues.Ĭould it be some special version of Word file (PC or Mac)? I could try with MS Word 2016 PC or Word 2008 Mac, but it most likely seems to be weird formatted word files you're trying to import into ID that are causing the issue. Selected all fonts (the missing and available ones) in the Find Font dialog and replaced them all at once with Minion Pro Regular (installed on system).
Word formatting was kept and like expected due to formatting some fonts with additional bold and italic styles, there were several font styles missing, but not a single font style showed up multiple times. Then Drag'n'Drop the doc and docx files directly into new ID document's text frames. Made a test doc and docx in LibreOffice containing multiple identical and mixed character styles. Tried to replicate the issue with no avail.
