Different results when packaging in InDesign?

[hkellogg]

When using the package function within InDesign I had something happen that I couldn't explain.

I had a student that used the drag and drop technique, clicking on an ai. file from Illustrator and dragging it into InDesign. When the InDesign file was packaged, the vector file wasn't saved but the fonts within the vector image were.

When we used the File.Place method to put the vector (ai) file into the InDesign document, then packaged it, the ai. file was saved but not the fonts.

Why the difference?

Thanks
