   Hello,

   In Indesign, it would be interesting in the 'text block' to have the option 'Adapt the text to the block'. The option exists for the image block 'to adapt the image to the block proportionally' to adapt this option to the 'text block' would be a saving of time and the possibility to automate a good number of works. For example, to change from A6 to A5 via the linked article system it works great with the image block and not at all with the text block. The only possibility of action with the 'Text block' is to enlarge or reduce it according to the amount of text you want.
   I would also like to be able to choose to enlarge or reduce the text in a 'text block' according to the size of the text block and not according to the amount of text that the block can or must receive.
   If it can put you on the track this function exists at CorelDraw when one has text in a 'block text' with a right click of the mouse one can adapt the text to the size of 'block text' and according to the amount of text in the text block increases or decreases the text size proportionally in the 'text block'.
   In the hope that my need and wish is realized in one of your next update of Indesign.
   cordially

   Need More Info  ·  amaarora responded

   Hi,
   Please see if using the “Free transform tool” solves your purpose
   Just select the object, switch to the Free Transform tool, and place your cursor over one of the corner or side points. When you see the double-headed arrow, drag.

   -Thanks

2. Corners option fill default to 0p

   Whenever I create a new text box, I get the default of outline set to 1p. I always forget to change this, and in editing have to go back and remove all these boxes from picturs, etc. This wastes a lot of time. Have not found where I can set this, saving a changed empty doc does not seem to work.

5. make font preview display filtered weights properly

   I'm attempting to preview all san-serif, heavy weight, regular width fonts. While the filter shortens the list of fonts in the preview window, when I use the arrow keys to see my live preview I am getting only light weight previews. If I want to see the heavy weight version, I have to pop open each font group and select the heavier weight version. What gives? This is such a basic idea... please show me ONLY bold, heavy, extra, etc. Don't show me light weight previews when I am filtering for heavy weight. This limitation makes live preview almost useless.

6. Don't add an extra page when endnotes are imported

   The new endote option is nice (could be better, but hey, it's something). The only thing that bugs me is the fact that a new page is added everytime I place text that contains endnotes, or when I copy/paste that text.

   It screws up much of my design, and I have to manually delete the page and put everything back in it's right place.

   Would be great if the endnote frame would just be placed on the same page as the end of the text flow!

7. Align top line of text frame to baseline grid

   Hi InDesign Team—

   The very handy Only Align First Line to Grid feature is essential for building out multiple styles in books and editorial work. However, book designers are in desperate need of a similar feature for text frames, where only the first line in the text frame aligns to the baseline grid. This is essential for building out pages of backmatter, where the text is tighter and does not necessarily align to the baseline grid of the book, but the distance between the head margin and the first baseline should remain the same.

   Is such a feature possible, or am I missing something that is already possible in InDesign to prevent these kinds of mis-aligned pages. Currently the only solution is to have multiple masters for different text blocks in the body text and the backmatter, but it seems a simple Align Only First Line of Text Frame would ease a lot of pain.

   Thank you,

   Kevin Barrett Kane

8. Enhanced Full Vertical Justification feature

   Currently, InDesign's vertical justification is very basic and has several drawbacks that render it useless for professional layout.
   1. Very limited Control. The only parameter you can set is the additional gap that will be added between paragraphs.
   2. Beyond that threshold, InDesign adds gaps between the paragraph lines - a typographical catastrophe, without any possibility for control.
   3. The VJ control is and text frame attribute and not in the paragraph style level' which causes un proportional separation between headlines and text - again, typographically un expectable.
   4. The alignment is done without any consideration to the amount of text in the frame, and needs to be treated (either manually or by script) in text frames that contains a small amount of text, like at the end of a chapter.

   The proposed solution will define some new attributes and features to the full VJ, which will improve the result given in the current situation, and provide a solution to the above mentioned problems.

   My proposed solution is as follows:

   [Paragraph and Paragraph Styles]

   Here are two optional methods:
   [Method A]
   In the Paragraph and Paragraph Styles attributes, create five new fields:
   Title: Full VJ optional Spacing
   A. Space before: Field 1 - Max. expand. Field 2 - Max. shrink.
   B. Space after: Field 3 - Max. expand, Field 4 - max. shrink.
   C. Field 5 - Line spacing. The default value will be 0 (zero).
   All the values in Millimeters\Points.
   When the basic value of the Space Before\After is 0 (zero), fields 2 and 4 will disabled.

   [Method B]
   In the Paragraph and Paragraph Styles attributes, create a Justification like interface to control the parameters settings for the full VJ options, except the parameters will be: Space Before Variation, Space After Variation, and Line Spacing Variation.
   For each parameter, the 3 percentage values will allow setting the Minimum, Desired, and Maximum spacing changes allowed.
   The full VJ will be implemented according to combined calculations of all the above settings (Space Before spacing method and values, Space After spacing method and values, and line spacing value), similar to how the 3 parameters 3 values combination of the Justification feature works.

   To resolve cases when the Space Above or Space Below are set to 0 (zero), in which the respective 3 value fields of the Space Above Variation or Space Below Variation should be dimmed (because you can't set a variation to a 0 value) ,my suggestion is that this section/dialog will include a representation of the Space Before and Space After fields which will allow the user to set spacing value directly from the full VJ settings interface, the same way the Indent value fields allow to set the paragraph indents from the Bullets & Numbering dialog/section.

   In addition, add a Force Justified Vertical Justification options (radio buttons) that will determine the full VJ behavior when the values of all the parameters are not sufficient to achieve a full vertical justification in the current text frame height.
   Option will be: (1) Justify to Top; (2) Partial VJ - the result with the maximum values applied; (3) Forced VJ - a forced spread with spacing violations over the defined values.

   [Text Frame Options]
   Add a Contents Threshold field to the Text Frame Options dialog that will allow the full vertical justification to be performed only if the text frame contents fills more than the designated percentage of the frame height.
   The default value should be set to 85% or 90%.

   Currently, InDesign's vertical justification is very basic and has several drawbacks that render it useless for professional layout.

10. Character palette dropdown menu needs to expand full within workspace (revised post)

    Apologies, but I posted this before but forgot to include screen grabs. In InDesign CC 2018 when I selected a typeface from the character window drop-down menu, the drop-down expanded to fill my workspace vertically no matter where my character palette was on the screen. Now in CC 2019 it only expands to show 19 or 20 fonts in a much smaller drop-down window. I would love either to go back to the way it was before or have the option to enlarge the drop-down typeface selection window.

    See the difference between CC 2018 and 2019 in the screen shots. The longer menu is from CC 2018.

15. 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 Colour be NEXT to the Fill Colour??

    The way it is at the moment is a complete waste of time.

19. Bring back the Paragraph Direction button/option that was removed in v14.0.1.

    Bring back the Paragraph Direction button/option that was removed in v14.0.1.

    I am using Middle East InDesign, with English/Arabic language app option.

    I have been informed by Adobe Support that v14.0.1 has removed Paragraph Direction all together. Since I have to work with Arabic frequently, this is VERY disruptive since Arabic is written right to left. It seems that even Change Text Direction has even been removed from the Character window options, so I can't find any possible workaround.

    I don't understand how any users that need Right to Left written languages will even be able to use your updated products anymore.

    Please restore this feature or a feature that can achieve the same result.

20. Numbered paragraphs don't increment in footnotes

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
    14.0.1.209
    Mac OS 10.13.6

    Steps to reproduce the issues
    1. Apply automatic numbering to a paragraph style
    2. Apply that style to footnotes

    Expected result
    Each footnote will be properly numbered, starting at 1.

    Actual result
    All footnotes are numbered 1.

    In the attached screenshot you can see the third footnote. The indicator is the correct number but the footnote is numbered 1, even though it is the third footnote. Footnote 2 is also numbered 1.
