pmhapp Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I just got burned by this on a job, so I wanted to give everyone else a heads-up. Normally, if you copy text from a text box in InDesign, and paste the text in a FusionPro Variable Text Editor, it will retain the formatting (font, style, size, etc.). HOWEVER, if the text is using any InDesign Character Style other than [NONE], FP will ignore it and won't paste it! Example text in InDesign: For more information about these products and other services we offer, please visit our website at www.printable.com.Where all the text in InDesign is set to a Character Style of [NONE], except the website which is set to an InDesign Character Style of [Character Style 1]. What you will get in FP after pasting it in Text Editor is: For more information about these products and other services we offer, please visit our website at .You get the same result if any text is marked as a Hyperlink in InDesign. What I'd like to know is, is this a bug, or the fact that you can copy and past formatted text from InDesign at all, is that a feature?

pmhapp Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 but I now copy and paste into a word doc or text editor then paste into FusionPro. Aargh. I was for sure that wouldn't work because I thought Word would keep the "Hyperlink" style, but you are right it does. Aargh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
