Please, please add the average horizontal/vertical line between to points to Indesign like Illlustrator has.
being able to make a straight line between two points is so essential. this would make Indesign so much more user friendly.

Edit Description in Links Panel
It would be great to have a the ability to edit the "Description" column directly in the links panel instead of having to click on every object and then "Object Export Options." Would save sooooo much time to be able to edit the alt text right from the links panel.

A simple quick command for flipping and rotating objects
I use the flip and rotate tool quick commands within illustrator all the time and am frustrated by all the clicking I have to do in indesign to do the same thing.

Center based on chosen Key Points
The ability to align object to a key object is very useful, but it would be great if users could specify two key points and center a new object between them. For example, when you want an object to be centered between an existing object and the edge of a page, being able to say "Center this object between this point and this point".

Search in a text selection won't show
It's really annoying that I select some text and I want to Find/Replace something in that selected text and I can't do that within the Find/Replace window. Is this a bug or is there another reason why I can't do this?

Center-point auto-selected when rotating images in a content frame
I want this to be something I can set in InDesign with my workspace. If it isn't automatically set to centerm then allow me to change the preferences for the whole program.
I make manuals that require six photos a page, and I am always having to select the center point square in the rotation toolbar.
I would like the option for this to be my default.

Replace the startup panel
PLease replace the awful startup panel that looks like someone had a mental breakdown, spilling derangement over the screen in gaudy black and violet.. unbelievable that anyone could imagine this would be attractive. Luckily I mostly don't see it as my computer opens before I arrive, but every time I do I feel I want to immediately quit the program.. and send a report to you.

Find / Replace
I am a QuarkXPress convert to InDesign and I am loving the app for all of its '******' abilities when constructing layouts.
However - making global changes and adaptation to text and graphics using the Find/Replace function is way too confusing. This is something that was so easy to use in QuarkXPress and highly intuitive. Personally I would love that sort of functionality ease to brought in to ID.1 vote -
Removal of direct selection function in images
Hi,
it would be possible to disable the moving of an image when I select the central point (it automatically activates the direct selection) and this is very annoying.sorry for the english, but I used the google translator.
1 voteYou can accomplish this by doing the following:
choose View menu > Extras > Hide Content Grabber.
If you want to do this for all documents whenever you select images, close all open documents and choose this option.Hope this tip helps.

Don't include title in table of contents
It is not always preferable to include a title with a table of content. Up till now it is not possible to choose if you need the title yes or no. So it is always placed and has to be removed every time one updates the TOC. Please add a checkbox to place the title or not.

Allow alignment of an object to two guidelines that I create, instead of to the page or other objects
When trying to align text or an object to a box or area that is not aligned to the center of the page - allow me to create guidelines (drag out from side of ruler) to the edges of the box or area and select the guidelines and the text or object and align the text or object to the center of the guidelines.

Textbox use auto-size to automate border placement
Under "text frame options" we have "auto-size" which is an amazing feature, but not used to its full potential.
If we combine this with textbox borders, I could automate text boxes with Data Merge on a grand scale.
Most of the groundwork for this feature already exists. All that's left is to be able to set a rectangle to automatically resize to match a textbox.

Remove Adjust Content from InDesign (or disable it)
When changing margins there is a new box that says "Adjust Content". This totally screws up your files if you don't uncheck it. I cannot find a way to disable the" adjust content" permanently. It should probably be either a preference or just removed from InDesign completely as it doesn't perform any useful function.
