attributes which are not supported by InDesign (red) or are not supported by QuarkXPress (purple) or are implemented differently (green)
This design-time message occurs if one or more of the saras of the saras property uses a feature not available with InDesign.
Some examples that would cause the present message:
•The use of text underline which does does exist in InDesign, but is not a simple on/off attribute; but rather is achieved by the use of a character style definition.
•The use of the text mode for minicalendar date formatting (background text shading and text framing do exist in InDesign, but they are paragraph attributes, which must be applied to entire paragraphs, and cannot be restricted to some text only).
The use of this feature will lead to a corresponding run-time message, and a result that is not as expected.
Solution 1:
Use the Fix the Sara option of the popup menu to change the attribute that is generating this message (the detailed list of formats, and their respective support by QuarkXPress and InDesign, can be found here).
Solution 2:
If the message is due to the use of italics only, then you can specify how InDesign scripts should handle italics settings in the corresponding section of the InDesign preferences.
