Static Endnotes
I need a possibility to turn off the automatic endnote function that appears in InDesign CC 2018. It may be practical for some applications, but it greatly impedes the flexibility of many designs. Can someone tell me if this is possible – the endnotes don't need to be dynamic for my purposes. The way they were imported when placing a Word document in ID CC 2017 was fine.
Richt now, the only way I know to work around it is to use Peter Kahrel's footnote to endnote script.57 votesHello All,

Have Type Colour always available to select/change
Please can we have the Type Colour always available to select and change, rather than being hidden secondary to the Fill Colour.
e.g. why is the Type Colour not in the Character panel like Photoshop has.
why is the Type Colour in the main horizontal Control Panel not NEXT to the Fill Colour? ... Why do you have to click Fill Colour then T then select the Type Colour??? ... the same for the Swatches Panel - why is the Type Colour secondary to the Fill Colour.The same problem also goes for Stroke colour ... why can't the Stroke…

Paragraph Shading corners do not continue between columns
The paragraph border has an option to "Display Border if Paragraph Splits Across Frames/Columns" BUT paragraph shading lacks the corresponding option. Resulting in a mismatch across frames and columns. See screen shots.

Make 'Character Style' have bullet options
It would be useful to be able to define bullets as part of a character style, rather than a separate paragraph style.
Often, bullet paragraphs only differ from the body text by the addition of a bullet and the associated indent.
Being able to define bullets as a character attribute, rather than a paragraph style, would allow more flexibility with the new options concerning consecutive paragraphs of the same style (borders, spacing).
If I have a paragraph of text and then a couple of paragraphs of bullets, but the bullets were defined by a character style I could have a…

Hyphenation of compound words must take precedence over hyphenation
Currently, in Indesign in german language "st" is always hyphenated. In my work, however, there are many compound words in which the "st" is at the beginning or end of the word and therefore the hyphenation of a compounded word must occur before or after the "st" instead of between "s" and "t".
Example:
"Führerstand", compunded of the words "Führer" and "Stand"Expected hyphenation:
Führer-standWrong InDesign hyphenation:

Please add the possibility of using conditional text to the Table of Contents.
Sometimes we need to shorten the title, or generate a list of abbreviations, a table of contents for each section, or any other list that could use the Conditional Text.
Conditional Texts can be created independently of Character Styles.
This should work.
What do you think about it?

Text Variables in Floating Window/Pod
Text Variables needs a dockable window/panel/pod. Pull defining new variables out of the Text menu and put it in a panel that we can access without having to drill down through the UI.
Having Text Variables available in a panel in this fashion would let us place the cursor, double-click to add a variable, move the cursor via arrows and double-click the next variable. We would also be able to click several variable in a row without having the laboriously drill down through the UI to get to the list. This is very frustrating when you have several dozen variables…

outline entire layer
It would be great if there were an easier solution to outline your tekst. I think I have a solution that would be great in a workflow.
It would be great if, in a indesign document, I could put all the text on one layer. Then, in the layer panel on the right, to right click the layer and convert all the tekst of that layer (throughout the whole document) to outlines!
Obviously, you could duplicate the tekst layer and set it to don't pint so you always have a version of the text to edit.

Endnotes as bibliography, reference one source multiple times.
When creating a bibliography often times you must reference one source multiple times.
the way that it is set up now, adding a new endnote creates a new entry at the bottom. there is no way to reference something twice.
Obviously this creates concerns when considering navigation, as it works both ways now.

Allow users to add footnotes in table text!!!
Please allow users to add footnotes in table text, I can't believe that this is not poosible. I am formatting a lengthy document for a client and some of the footnotes need to be in table text and they cannot be added without disrupting the flow of footnotes. This is such a basic thing that you should be able to do! Please add it!

Create linked text boxes and assign different colors for text in each text box.
Hello,
I would like to be able to create linked text boxes and assign different colors for text in each text box. The linked text boxes can have different background colors. You can create it manually by selecting text and changing its color, but what if an editor removes or adds a paragraph? If in box A background was white and text was black, and in box B background was black and text white, then if a paragraph in box A was removed, text from box B (white) will move to box A and will become invisible in box A…2 votes -
Find/Change "negatively" on a paragraph/character/object property (i.e., look for a style set to anything BUT 13pt)
It would be nice if find/change had to ability to search for everything BUT something. For example, if I had a style named "text" where the leading was defined as 13pt but I wanted to only find instances where the leading was NOT set the 13pt because of some local override. But these overrides might be 14pt or 15pt, but that would required 2 or more separate searches. I don't necessarily know how many paragraphs have been locally overridden from the set 13 unless I page through and look for each paragraph by sight. I realize the local Style Override…

Folder structure in saved queries
I need to organize saved Search/Replace queries into folders. Just like styles.
(Now I have a few dozens of queries in a very long list. Plus some document/workflow has special queries, so I don't want mix them. A folder structure would be more straightforward)
