A comparative test would be to place the word docx without images. If it flows past 30 pages successfully, it might indicate a problem with one of the embedded images. That leaves the possibility that one of the images is too big for the frame. Another simple idea is to open the word docx file in Word and Save-As to an .RTF file. See if the .rtf version will flow into InDesign successfully or not.   If you are contemplating a complete rebuild leaning on InDesign; not Word; then you could also rename the .docx file as .zip and open it to find the subfolder of graphics. These could be moved to a Links folder and edited in Photoshop for size and resolution before placing back into InDesign. ... View more

Your example has a cell style for the header row, but it needs two body cell styles for the alternating fill effect you show here. You would NOT use the tables alternating row fill; nor would you need to define alternating row and column strokes. Instead of alternating row and column strokes, you would simply define your cellstyles to have strokes. The table, as designed, would not benefit much from developing a table style, but you would and could manually apply 3 cellstyles to control this table design. BTW, merging cells on the left side complicates the table and makes it difficult to tag successfully. ... View more

Bonjour Lea, Peut-être avez-vous un style de caractère bloqué par défaut au lieu d'être défini sur Aucun ? Cela interférerait avec votre style de paragraphe.   Maybe you have a Character Style stuck on at default instead of being set to None? This would step on and interfere with your paragraph style.   Je suis presque sûr qu'appuyer sur Alt+E ne fait rien. I'm pretty sure pressing Alt+E does not do anything. ... View more

Too bad that has never been a 2-way link. For that scheme to really work you would have to: Use matching paragraph styles in Word and InDesign Only edit the text in Word because edits flow into ID; but not out   A clumsy workaround using only InDesign and Word would be: Place only .RTF file into InDesign Use matching style names in Word and ID Make edit changes in ID and export out to RTF with the same filename Or edit in Word and update the link in InDesign   Bottom line: the feature should have been a 2-way street option; but it really isnt.  Arguably, in editorial/version workflows, that can be a good thing.  But to another person that can be a shortcoming. ...
