Copy/Paste problem

[kimsylvi]

This is not on my computer, but on a colleague's computer, when she tries to copy and paste a text box with formatted text in it, the text defaults to Times (which she doesn't have, so it becomes the dreaded pink highlight). When I paste a text box (using the black arrow), all the formatting is preserved. We're both running CS2.

Any ideas as to what is going on and how I can fix it?

Check to see if Preserve Text Attributes is checked in Prefs/General

Yes, I checked those preferences, and they're turned on.

Then try trashing prefs.

If you use mac it's user/library/preferences/com.adobe.InDesign.plist Don't know pc name/location
