Word document  
imported into InDesign  
exported as a PDF  
imported into Flash movieClip.  
populated into Flash scrollPane.

got it?

okay… here’s the weird part.  
when i copy and paste the text from Word into InDesign the PDF looks great in flash, and the scrollPane behaves properly. it looks like this:

alternately,  
when i IMPORT the word document into InDesign, the resulting PDF looks great in flash, but the scrollPane goes haywire. Notice the scroll bars:

any ideas on why this is happening?  
i would love to use the import function because it keeps all of the writer’s formatting. (there’s tons of italics, bolds)

thanks!
