CAN AFPUB2 IMPORT TEXT STYLES FROM INDESIGN?


Recommended Posts

I would build from scratch. Most likely there are abilities in InDesign's text styles that have no analogue in Publisher and if those abilities are employed in InDesign they may cause problems in Publisher. Plus by building from scratch you'll learn what Publisher offers and perhaps find things in Publisher that have no analogue in InDesign.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 
Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

.idml export supports all features of the ID version used to create it. 

.idml import, in every recieving application I've used, skips features it doesn't support. 

The problems associated with Serif's implementation of .idml import are typically not text styles.

Thanks to Mike & Bruce for your remarks. I appreciate your insights.

Although my importing text style tests seemed to work nicely using the .idml method, the fonts used in the previous manuals written in InDesign thankfully are supported in AfPub. I could imagine that fonts which are unsupported in AfPup, but that still work without issue in other applications' styles, might need tending after importing from the .idml.
