    Import Cross-References from Word to InDesign CS4?

    rantingrick Community Member

      I'm trying to decide whether or not to upgrade to CS4 in order to get the cross-reference functionality.

       

      I have a Word document with 2000 cross references in the footnotes. These references cross-reference both pages and other footnotes. In other words, some are n the form "voir p. 23, n. 45" and some are in the form "voir p. 23".

       

      So I'm trying to figure out whether or not InDesign CS4 will import these references?

       

      BTW, this is a 400-page doc with about 2000 footnotes. It imports fine into CS3 except for the cross-refs.

       

      Related question - will I have any issues if I just upgrade InDesign, or does that create issues with the suite? Basically, I can have InDesign CS4 out of my project budget, but since I don't have a need to upgrade the other components, I would have to pay $150 for that upgrade, which I'm not inclined to do unless mixing and matching CS3 and CS4 will cause problems.

       

      Thanks!
