Hello,
I work for a publishing company. We use a Unix-based composition system based on SGML. Sometimes I have to help with outside data coming into the company. I've got an InDesign file here from the outside world that I'm converting to RTF and then sending through our workflows to get to SGML I'm baffled by this InDesign file. It has paragraph styles that visually suggest the use of particular style attributes that I'm not seeing in the actual paragraph styles when I call them up. For example, there's a paragraph that has a rule above and below it. And, it's got a unique paragraph style. But, when I open up that style, I see no rules above or rules below defined. How in the world did the person who created this get these rules then? When I'm in the paragraph and I use the pulldown at the upper far right, again I don't see any paragraph rules defined. When I select all on the page, the rules aren't selected, so, they're definitely part of the paragraph. I show it in my screenshot below where I'm in the paragraph with the paragraph style selected and opened up.
Another thing that bugs me about this file is the use of small graphics peppered throughout the document. I can't select them. No matter what I do, I honestly can't select these graphics. They're not on the master page. When I select all on a page with some of these graphics, none of the graphics are lit up. Any combination of command, shift, and/or option don't select it either.
I've exported to IDML and brought the file back in, but, it behaves in the same way.
Thanks,
Peter
