Hello,

Is there any way to convert an InDesign file to a MS Word file?

Thank you,
Bob

You can export each story as RTF which can be opened by Word. The layout and graphics won't be transferred to Word, but the text formatting would be (to the extent that Word supports the text formatting features you've used).

Try exporting a story with a drop cap sometimes. You get one humungous letter!

There is a lot more than that but bobindy probably doesn't care.

Quite a bit remains the same when you just copy and paste from InDesign to Word. Lee Pierce

Almost everything in an average document does. Once you start getting into drop caps, nested styles and other things like that, that Word can not do, fugettaboudit.

Not that I know of but you can click File>Export>Save as type: Rich Text Format and that will give you a document you can edit in MS Word.

Thank Your Gabriel :)
I already knew that information, but I thought there was a way to keep the format...

So If you know another way just tell me please, and if not thank you for your answering :)

Thank a lot :)
