QUESTION about CS4 linking problems

My indesign file is not linking the text that I imported and formatted.

If I link the text, it brings it back to its original format. Not good! I publish newspapers. I have an awful amount of text formatted in different places. I usually only have to link photos, pics, jpegs etc.

CAN SOMEONE HELP!

    When you are linking - turn on your place options to make sure the Import Options dialog box is not set to Remove Styles and Formatting from Text and Tables. Set it to Preserve Styles.

    That’s how it’s supposed to work.

    If those are Word files you can try WordsFlow from emsoftware but I don’t know if supports anything as old as CS4.

    Well, there you go. Might be high time for the OP to upgrade.
