How to Move InDesign File to Another File?

Hi -- I have two 2023 InDesing files. When I try to move a page from one file into another file, the formatting becomes completely messed up. I understand that the incoming file adopts the formatting of the receiving file, so I've renamed all styles in the transferring file. There are no overlapping style names. I don't understand why the formatting still changes when bringing this document into the receiving document. I've tried both "move" page and also just cutting and pasting, and the same thing happens.

Thanks.

What with the BasedOn styles?

Do you base your top most style(s) on default style - [Basic Paragraph Style]?

Hi -- I'm not entirely sure. Character Styles are based on "None." Paragraph Styles have table body (table) at the top, then [Basic Paragraph] underneath, then body underneath that. Some of the paragraph styles are based on "body," some on "header" some on "no paragraph style.

It's likely that basing styles on [Basic Paragraph] are causing a problem (or at least part of your problem). Probably each document has a different definition of [Basic Paragraph].
