Crashes immediately while editing text/ endnotes

[Linda5C94]

Hi -- I'm working on a book project and every time I place a word doc in a text box (instead of copying and pasting, to keep formatting and footnotes), InDesign crashes immediately. I have the most up to date version from creative cloud. It's completely stopping my ability to do anything at all. HELP>

are you importing your file? are you mapping styles?

[Linda5C94]

Hi -- I am not mapping styles. I am "placing" the text from word, as that's the advice I got from another tutorial. I can cut and paste without the program crashing, but I need the footnotes and endnotes, so I need to place instead of cut and paste. Any suggestions?

[Linda5C94]

Just tried a few test docs, and it definitely seems to be an endnote misfunction problem. Even when I just changed the endnote settings, indesign shut down.

[Linda5C94]

No, that's not what I meant -- to mark this as the correct answer. I meant to "correct" or edit my response. Oops. How do I unmark that???

Hi Linda,

does it make a difference if you import a Word *.doc file instead of a *.docx file?

Is the source of your Word file really Microsoft Word?

Will it work if you open the Word file in Microsoft Word and save it to a new name?
