    This is odd..... I can't replicate it myself anymore either :(

    Well... sorry to have wasted your time I guess.
    No idea what happened there.

    Thank you

    Hi Egor, yes positive about that because the text in InDesign was set in COLUMNS, and all to flow across 4 pages. SO by COMMAND+A all of that copy and then Command+C and then going to illustrator, opening up 1 text column, and OPtio+Shift+drag to duplicate that 1 column next to it, and then COmmand+P pasting all the copy in the first column, and then clicking the icon in the bottom corner of that first column and then placing it on the new and duplicated column to get the text flow across the two columns (I don't think there is a way in Illustrator to have a text box with multiple columns so the work around I did is the only way?), in any case after doing this procedure described, the text on the right column appears stretched horizontally. That's why I mentioned a bug. Looking forward to hear. Attached screengrab showing the text in InDesign in 1 single text box with columns.

    As mentioned, the issue does not occur if the copy is pasted first in text box and rich text format eliminated, made plain text, and then copied in Illustrator, there is no deformation of any kind.

    Hi, thank you. I actually think it's a bug because I realised that the only reason why this is happening is because I have copy pasted text from InDesign 2023 to Illustrator 2023.
    If instead I copy the text from InDesign 2023 to Text edit, then make the text plain text with no rich formatting, and THEN copy paste it in Illustrator, then the issue does not arise anymore. So I think there is a slight bug there between copying between applications....?
