Hyperlinks not formatting consistantly?

Question

HiWhen I import an MWWord doc containing links, it seems that InDesign sometimes applies my 'Hyperlink' character style to the links, sometimes not. The only way I know that the Hyperlink style is applied to all links is if i select the text, go to the Hyperlinks window, click on one of the list of selected hyperlinks and then sent the style to "Hyperlink".  But does anyone know what's going on? I"d really like some automated process to unfailingly apply the Hyperlink style to all hyperlinks. Any clues? Thanks!best,Kurt

Hi @supineNY,

Thanks for explaining the behavior so clearly. Please try placing the Word document again using File > Place with Show Import Options enabled, and make sure you preserve styles and formatting from text and tables.

If after doing this the links are still inconsistently styled, please let me know your OS and InDesign version and whether this happens with all Word files or only specific ones. A short screen recording of the import process would also help me validate this with the team.

Looking forward to your update.

Abhishek
