I am running ID CS2 on an xp machine (SP2 - to open ancient PM files) and have been setting in text recently for the 28 EU languages, I have the Baltic ones left to do, and have come up with a slight problem!
When opening the text in Word I can see all the characters correctly, (i's with lines over instead of dots) and other Baltic characters.
When pasting into InDesign they turn into other characters (the i mentioned above now has a hat on ^ instead.)
And ideas how this happens and how to correct it?
I open the same INDD file on the Remote (windows server 2003) to work on it at home and they are all correct.
I've reloaded the Myriad pro font and deleted Adobefnt.lst files but nothing has happened.
I've looked through all the settings and they are identical on the remote and my machine so I don't understand why my machine is a little strange.
I hope someone understands this and can help me as the remote is very slow!!

ID is displaying the wrong characters
Don't paste, use file place instead.

You might also want to check to be sure the font you are using is a) the same in both Word and InDesign, and b) actually contains the glyph in question. I believe Word has a nasty habit of doing invisible font substitution if the current font lacks a glyph.

Placing the file worked, thanks.
The font was the same in the Word and InDesign. At least that mystery is solved.
Thanks Guys.
Hello,
I am using CS 2. I want to import PM6 ore PM65. But it doesn't work. The program says, that the document is destroyed and cannot be opened.
Please don't hijack a mostly unrelated thread. New topics should be started on their own.
That said, this sounds like you are running Windows XP SP3 or Vista, both of which break the ability of CS2 to open PM documents. Your only choice, if that is your situation and you need to open these, is to either find a system running SP2 or roll back, or to upgrade to a current version of InDesign.
