InDesign users!

Is there a way to either place or paste text which is already formatted? As in, I've got a very long document that consists of ConDFW panelist bios that I need to get into the program book InDesign document, preferably WITHOUT me having to go back through the over 50 entries and manually re-italicize the HUNDREDS of book and magazine titles?

I can put the original document into whatever file type I need to do. I HAVE THAT POWER. I just can't get the damn thing into InDesign without stripping all formatting, even after clicking "Show all importing options" and playing with the options there.

Thanks. I shall experiment further, and if all else fails, just put my headphones in, turn on an audiobook, and power my way through.

edit: ZOMG that worked! Yay! (My italics are oddly a point size smaller than the body text but I CAN FIX THAT.)

Good, I'm glad it (mostly) worked! I hate having to fix that stuff manually myself.
