In addition to these unsupported features, please note the following differences in formatting and
styles after importing a Word document:
• Thick border lines in Word documents appear as thin border lines with wider spacing (as Word
assigns line weights to double border lines differently).
• Graphics inserted in to Word documents from the Insert Object or Paste Special menu
commands in Word will be imported if the particular graphics file format is supported. The
graphics will appear at the original position in the imported document.
• Table cell inset values are different for docx & doc files on InDesign import.
• When multilevel bulleted lists from Word are imported into InDesign, the list and level boxes
can be edited only by choosing the list type as numbers. Please note that upon import, the list
and level bond is broken and an InDesign bullet character is applied for the first character of a
bulleted string.
