2 If you haven’t already signed in to CS Live, click Sign In, specify your e-mail address and password, and then click

Once you sign in, the Place Buzzword Documents dialog box displays a list of the Buzzword documents you can

import.

3 Select one or more documents you want to import, or paste the URL of the Buzzword document into the Paste URL

field.

4 Select any of the following options, and then click OK.

Show Import Options If you select this option, the Buzzword Import Options dialog box appears before you place

the file.

Replace Selected Item Select this option to replace the object currently selected in the document.

Link To Document Select this option to create a link between the Buzzword document and the placed text. If you

establish a link and update the Buzzword document, the Links panel indicates that the file has been modified. If you

update the link, the text in InDesign is updated. However, formatting changes you’ve made to this text in InDesign

are lost.

5 If you selected Show Import Options, specify settings in the Buzzword Import Options dialog box.

This dialog box includes most of the same options found in the RTF Import Options dialog box. See Microsoft Word

and RTF import options. Buzzword currently does not have a styles feature, so none of the style options are valid at

this time.

6 With the loaded text cursor, click or drag to create a text frame.

Link or embed imported text files

By default, text you place in InDesign is not linked to the original text file. However, if you select the Create Links When

Placing Text And Spreadsheet Files option in File Handling preferences before you place a file, the name of the text file

appears in the Links panel. You can use the Links panel to update and manage the file. When you update a linked text

file, any editing or formatting changes applied within InDesign are lost. Because of this risk, linked text files are not

automatically updated when the original file is edited. However, you can easily use the Links panel to update content

or to unlink (embed) the file.

1 Do one of the following:

• To apply this change to a document, open the document.

• To apply this change to any new document you create, close all documents.

2 Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).

3 To create links in placed files, select Create Links When Placing Text And Spreadsheet Files. If this option is turned

on, use the Links panel to update, relink, or remove links. If this option is turned off, text files are embedded (not

linked).

To unlink (embed) a linked text file, select the file in the Links panel, and then choose Unlink from the Links panel

menu.
