Can InDesign Import Italic Words?

i need purchase indesign in order lay out half dozen novels. i've had trouble other software losing italic of individual words within non-italic paragraphs when text imported word processor page layout program. before sign indesign, need know indesign no muss or fuss.

 

i've read manual -- there's 1 brief mention may possibly relevant, didn't find full discussion of question. i've looked @ youtube tutorials on how lay out novel in indesign, , while overviews of process, never touched on question. (and in fact, "novel" formatting in both videos crude , useless.)

 

can indesign this?

 

just clear, italic text in novels not formatted stylesheet; individual words selected , italic type applied them.

yes, that's default, though can turned off. tip import text, , use find/change find italics , change character style defined italic. ensure not loose inline formatting format paragraphs.

 

note can download free 7-day trial of indesign. import file , play around it, if like. , come if have questions.
