Spell Check to start from selected text or text box
The ability to Spell Check to start from selected text or text box would be a real time saver.
Maybe add an on/off toggle to see spelling errors when needed.
I'm a horrible speller and sometimes just want to check what I just wrote not the entire document. I end up copying and pasting into Google which these days really confuses the (Artificial Intelligence).
Please consider this for Illustrator too.
Thank you.

Base font
It would be fantastic if I could select a base font to always come up if I'm substituting fonts (happens to me several times everyday) I would like to be able to change Minion to Helvetia Neue Pro as an auto rather than searching it out each time.

Add Nepali to language list
Can you add Nepali to the list of available languages in the Character dropdown? There are language-specific OT features that aren't supported without selecting the language, and it seems like a bit of an unnecessary workaround to mark text as Hindi in order to get correct display of glyphs for Nepali.

Find/Change Apply to Anchored Text Boxes
Find/change should be able to include any text boxes anchored in the search of a text box/story/selection. I use anchored text box objects in tables a lot, and on occasion, it would be helpful to be able to make a change to all the text with a certain paragraph style in a story, but not in the whole document. But with anchored objects, find/change won't see any text in anchored objects if you select the text box with the anchors, and you can't select multiple anchored objects at the same time. This makes it impossible/useless to find/change multiple text items…

AI assisted paragraph´s hyphenation and justification
could Indesign suggest different H&J options for the selected paragraph so the designer could choose the best suited, among available options?
Artificial Intelligence offers 3 options to choose in Photoshop.

Can we please remove all the question marks from InDesign placeholder text?
All of the question marks in placeholder text are an unrealistic representation of typical body copy. I end up having to remove them all when developing layout comps. Not a big deal, but annoying.

Indesign 2024
To the developers:
I am in charge of a newspaper in the north of Spain, ALERTA. I am considering whether to switch to the new InDesign 2024 following the information from the presentation meeting your company held. It has taken me time to adapt our catalog to your new policy on Type 1 fonts. Once this issue was resolved, and I was able to look at the new features of the new version, I found that some of the things said in that presentation are either false or not entirely true to reality. That story about the new paragraph styles…

Idea to create a simpler way to type on path with ellipse / circle
I wish you could create a better and simpler way to type on path, especially on ellipses / circles. It's SUPER difficult when you have to work with multiple lines in a circle, like we used to on a CD for example.
My pitch:
What if we could treat typing on path like a text box? So you draw the ellipse / shape from the Type on Path menu, and the text automatically gets treated as if Typing on a line / shape?
And when you press Return, it behaves like it would in a paragraph (text going to the…2 votes -
copa airlines baggage fees
Copa Airlines commonly includes a complimentary checked baggage allowance with your ticket, varying based on factors such as travel class and destination. Should you exceed this allowance or require additional checked bags, fees may apply. It's crucial to check Copa Airlines' official website or contact the airline directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information on checked baggage fees. https://baggagebee.com/blog/copa-airlines-baggage-allowance/

Ability to include anchored objects in paragraph styles
It would be useful to integrate images into paragraph styles and immediately attach an object style to it. The result would be that by selecting a paragraph style, an image (icon etc.) would be added at the desired location (as set in the object style). This would offer many opportunities to make formatting faster and more efficient.

Replacement of ending Type 1 fonts
I would like to ask if it would be possible to create a setting / tool for automatic replacement of ending fonts when opening a file.
"Font 1" will automatically change to the user-preset "Font 2" when opening the file.
eg: Frutiger CE 65 Bold (ending font) => Frutiger CE Bold (user set)
It would certainly make the job easier for users, for example we have over 1000 .indd files with ending fonts, which are gradually updated regularly and everything is replaced manually. One file has over 12 missing fonts.
Thank you for your response

Font Height Reference. Can we have this existing Illustrator functionality for Indesign?
This is very useful for producing legible large-format environmental graphics. Often distance legibility tables are based on the x-height or the cap height. Being able to set these directly without an Em box look-up will save a significant amount of time.

Auto resize text to fit text box
Auto resize text to fit text box with a character limit would allow me to use it as a dynamic form that would be print ready.

Allow the continuity of footnotes according to pages and not blocks OR chaining anchored text blocks ?!
I use anchored boxes which (unfortunately) contain notes.
The numbering of the notes resumes as if it were the start of another document, that is to say at 1.
I would like it to be possible for these note numbers to follow the previous ones and for the following ones to take them into account:
note 1 in the text – anchored box with note which should be 2 (and not 1) – note which should be 3 in the text (but which will be 2…). Aaaargh…
Perhaps a numbering option like in the paragraph styles/Bullets and numbering options where…1 vote -
Paragraph styles frustrations
When creating a paragraph style from an existing one, please let InDesign automatically select the new one to edit, or at least let it retain the adjustments we made to the existing one. Because many times I edit the styling of text, then make a new paragraph style, only to find out I was still styling on the previous style, and not "New Paragraph 1."
OR
Let us be able to highlight the paragraph style we want to redefine, without applying the style to the text.
Sometimes all we want is to highlight copy in the document, and right-click on…

Would like to be able to apply formatting to text variables
You should be able to somehow apply formatting to text variables. (See screenshot: TextVariable.png). The running header on the right hand page is based on the "chapter title" on the left hand page, but the italics can't be applied. It would be nice if you could apply a GREP style, or even a nested style, to the paragraph style that is applied to running header.

Add OpenType attributes into Find/Change search criteria
InDesign lets users search for type attributes found in Paragraph and Character style criteria, but it does not let users search for applied OpenType attributes like fractionals, etc. in the Find/Change dialog box. It would be useful to find and fix issues when OpenType attributes don't perform as expected.
Since Adobe is making such a big push to abolish Type 1 fonts in its applications, I think that it would be a useful gesture to include OpenType attributes to its search criteria options through the Edit>Find/Change... menu command.

pdf imported remarks
At the moment its only possible to accept remarks/corrections one at a time. But often in a document, there are exactly the same corrections. For example: amsterdam becomes Amsterdam (Capital A). It would be great to accept all these similar corrections at once (or be offered to accept them one at a time throughout the document). And remarks like delete page number are not supported. (masterpage elements)

Could the order of fonts in the lists in Find/Replace font be adjusted?
In the Find section of the dialog the font styles are listed alphabetically. In the Replace section they are listed by their order in the menu (from thin to black or whatever).
Could this be the same in both sections?1 vote
