Hi,

I was to received one word document with 200 plus pages to layout. and i was going to map styles to help speed things up. due to timelines they can't deliver all of the manuscript at one time so they want to send it in section.

Can do mapping of styles from word do indesign multiple times? what should be aware of? tips or tricks to share?

thanks

If you're repetitively doing Style Mapping when importing Word files, you must set up a Preset by using the Save Preset button. The saved Mapping shows up in the Preset menu:

and what am i saving as a preset? what i want to include? or the styles custom mapping itself?

It's the actual mapping. So the preset ensures that each time you import a Word document, the mapping will be the same and you don't have to manually define it each time. That's assuming the Word content is the same from file to file though.
