Typefi Writer 8.7.4 (64-bit edition)

Released 23 September 2022 (release notes)

Replace local formatting

Working between Word and InDesign has many challenges, and character styling is one of them.

Word and InDesign’s default fonts are different, and the supported fonts may not support intelligent linking—especially those with multiple weights like Light, Medium, Bold and Black. InDesign’s Character Styles solve these problems by explicitly defining what font to use in which location.

Typefi Writer is the bridge that connects your local formatting to Character Styles—avoiding unexpected character formatting in your final outputs.

Typefi Writer 8.7.4 will help you to identify all local formatting in use in your documents and enable you to replace them with Character Styles in a few clicks—ensuring your fonts publish as expected.

To learn more about local formatting, see Identify local formatting in use and Replace Local formatting.

Easily see all document links

View all document links in one location with Writer's Typefi Document Explorer. You can also choose to export a list of files linked to a particular tagged Word file.

In Writer 8.7.4, we introduced a new Links category to the Typefi Document Explorer. This category offers you a way to view all linked files present in your current document. You can then click List of links to produce a simple text file containing all of those file links from your document. Missing items are marked as [Missing] making them easy to share and resolve with your content collaborators.

For more information, see Exporting a list of links.

Enhanced workplace collaboration

Improved OneDrive/Sharepoint support: with Typefi Writer 8.7.4, you can now run a job (not necessarily owned by you) that includes links to files stored in your company's OneDrive/Sharepoint, without missing links.

Run Writer in multiple users: users working from home who are required to log in to and run Writer from a terminal server at work, can now print jobs anytime. Writer 8.7.4's Print Manager works by listening on a new port for each logged-in user.
