OVERVIEW
This document contains basic information on importing and exporting files to and from the
following applications or file formats:
• Plain text: import and export
• Rich Text Format (RTF): import and export
• Microsoft Word 97-98, 2000-2007, and Word X-2004 for Mac: import only
• Microsoft Excel 97-98, 2000-2007, and Excel X-2004 for Mac: import only
Please refer to the InCopy and InDesign Help documentation or User Guide for instructions on
importing and exporting files.
ENHANCEMENTS & NEW FEATURES
Below is a list of additional enhancements and new features added to Import Word/RTF/Excel
and Export RTF that are not already covered by the InDesign CS3 or InCopy CS3 User Guides.
Support for Live Bullets and Numbering in Word/RTF Import
Bullets and Numbering imported from Word and RTF files can now be converted to text or kept
as live bullets and numbers. Please note the following:
1. Each list in Word imports as a separate list in InDesign. These lists will be named automatically
and have unique names during import, so that lists imported from different Word documents
do not clash. There will be a prefix "Word Imported list" for these auto-generated lists.
2. Imported List will not continue across stories or book.
3. List attributes of Paragraph will be applied as overrides over Paragraph Style. No new Para-
graph Style will be created.

Support of DOCX and XLSX format. Microsoft Office 2007 introduces new XML and ZIP-based file formats, called the Microsoft Office Open XML Formats, as the default for Word 2007 and Excel 2007. The new XML default extensions for Word and Excel 2007 are .docx and .xlsx, respectively. In order to read these new formats, InDesign CS3 has two separate readers, one for Office 2003, Office 95-97 Word and Excel documents and a second for Office 2007 Word and Excel documents. -
