Hi, there

I'm using Indesign 19.4 on Windows 11, but I'm unable to copy a text from Word and paste it on the text frame. Indesign just freeze for a few seconds and then it closes itself. Then I open Indesign again, click on the

recovery file, try to copy and paste the same text, but it keeps closing.

I tried Ctrl + D to import the .docx, but when I apply a paragraph style to the text, Indesign closes again.

I tried several times resetting preferences, converting the docx into rtf, but all these options didn't work for me. Opened a new file, tried Ctrl + D again, but the moment I started applying text and paragraph styles the issue continues.

I had to install Indesign 2023 in order to finish my work

Something is being overlooked here. Importing Word can have its rough edges, most of which are solved by the above suggestions, but I can't say as I've ever encountered a file that crashed ID and resisted all attempts to fix it. Frustrating.
