Copy text from illustrator to indesign

This is how you copy and paste text from Illustrator to InDesign without any loss of effects or format.

Have you ever made a design that needed to get expanded into different kind of media formats, and when you went to copy the design from illustrator to indesign all you text lost it’s formatting?! IT’S THE WORST!

Well there’s a solution now. All you have to do is edit one simple menu button. Mind blown.

Go to InDesignPreferences > Clipboard Handling.

  1. Select All Information (Index Markers, Swatches, Styles, etc.): Select this to Paste with formatting by default.

  2. Select OK.

You’re welcome.
