Dear all,

I would like to know if it would be possible to import (copy/paste) text from an Apple Pages document into an InDesign text frame without losing the basic formatting such as bold, italic, underline etc. ... 

 

Thanks

Hi Inélsòre,

never worked with Apple's Pages, but maybe this script by Marc Autret could help:

Save as RTF and use file > place. That should get you most of the way.
