Placing an .AI file into InDesign is fine.

Never drag n drop. Never copy n paste.

No need to convert any live text to outlines.

But do make sure the .AI and .INDD have the same color model ( I often prefer RGB)

InDesign's color space mode is Edit > Transparency Blendspace > ...

Thanks Mike.

Illustrator does not have a Transparency Blend Space setting in its Edit menu. Where do I set the Transparency Blend Space in Illustrator to make sure it's in sync with InDesign for the case when I am placing content from Illustrator?

Transparency Blend Space in my InDesign is set to CMYK. This is a magazine for print, I need to be able to see the CMYK blending as it will be looking in print (if the monitor can replicte that and if that is the purpose of the CMYK blending mode - I don't know). So I cannot set it to RGB.

Did you check to be sure there is not a stroke added? Worth a check.

My stroke box was inactive with nothing in it and when I typed in 0 pt, I lost the blending mode of the element.

But that stroke was for the text box not for the glyph bundaries. I cannot select individual letters to check for the letter stroke. It was placed as .AI type into InDesign.
