(a) will not work if you read my explanation above.
What I am really getting at is, where is that command in Indesign called FLATTEN TRANSPARENCY just like in Illustrator 10. I can't find it.
In illustrator 10 I just SELECT ALL - Flatten Transparency with the meter at 100% for all vector and no raster, and convert text to outlines checked ON.

OK the name suits you, what part of Illustrator being a "vector art" program and InDesign being a "pagelayout" program did you not understand. As in the earlier versions of PageMaker when you open a document or create a new one fonts are present, wether used or not!! Style sheets that are default want certain fonts, The text tool uses these default fonts and embeds a code into the document that says "hey I want Helvetica bold, where is it" even though you set the entire document up in Times Italic and converted it to paths, the document still wants to know where helvetica is. Get Over it!!
but if this won't work then:
Whenever you print from InDesign or export to a format other than Adobe PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5.0) or PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6.0), InDesign performs a process called flattening. Flattening cuts apart transparent art to represent overlapping areas as discrete pieces that are either vector objects or rasterized areas. As artwork becomes more complex (mixing images, vectors, type, spot colors, overprinting, and so on), so does the flattening and its results.
Note: InDesign can place Illustrator's native and PDF 1.4 files with transparency intact and unflattened. For best results retaining transparency without flattening using PDF with InDesign, save your files as PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5.0) or PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6.0).
You can access and specify flattening settings through the Transparency Flattener Presets dialog box, the Advanced options in the
Print dialog box, and the Flattener Preview palette. Once these settings are specified, you can save and apply them as transparency flattener presets.
InDesign flattens transparent objects according to the settings in the selected flattener preset.
OK it happens at print time!
