Three weeks too late, I began wondering why, when I imported John's manuscript from Word into InDesign CS3, all the italics were stripped out. (Is this a big deal? How many words do you think appear in italics in a 368-page book? Probably a lot, right? You are correct. Now think about going through the entire manuscript and re-applying italics to all those words. Such is my pathetic profession.)
A couple tests confirms: InD CS3 ignores italics in Word documents. (And forget about being asked to import styles and all that.)
The solution: Import text into CS2, then copy it over into CS3.
The conclusion: I have to quit this stupid job. There's no excuse for this kind of crap in InD but in the final analysis, there's no excuse for me putting up with it.
