Interior Book Design Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 If importing a Word file, Word's built-in Normal style (German: Standard) becomes [No Style] in Publisher. It does not matter if the text is short or long. Other styles work, even headings. The workaround: Don't use Word's built-in Normal style for body copy, invent your own name. This bug has been around for some time, now. I think it should be killed. :-) To illustrate what I mean, I've enclosed a short example file. Funnily enough, in older versions of QuarkXPress such as 2015, you would experience the same bug. So, for DTP programs, it seems to be difficult handling the Normal style, properly. Kind regards Johann ShortExample.docx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
