Taming the Wild MS Word File

Solve your text file formatting problems, once and for all!

Does this sound familiar? You apply a style to some text you imported into InDesign from a Word file, yet the old formatting doesn't change. (What the heck?) You strip out a style from some other text, and it gets the "dreaded pinking." (Yikes!) You spend your days cleaning up files from well-meaning Word users who have included bright-blue hyperlinks,  Word "art," columns aligned with spaces and tabs, manual formatting instead of styles, and all other sorts of nightmares. Gah!

Prepare to learn the dark art of Taming the Wild Word File in this must-see webinar from HerGeekness herself, Anne-Marie Concepción! In addition to wrestling with her own client's Word files, Anne-Marie has helped thousands of InDesign users figure out what was going on with their client's files too, and she's going to share all her hard-won knowledge with you.
