Find/Change Math Styles
Ability to apply math styles from third party in Find/Change feature.
We publish education materials and use Mt Editor by Movemen. Can find fractions such as 1/2, cannot apply fraction stacked style as there is no option for Math styles as is with Paragraph and Character styles. Would be a huge time saver to have this ability.1 vote -
I am designing a book with message bubbles, wish you had a variety of them in paragraph shading. Perhaps paragraph custom "shapes."

InDesign keeps crashing while copying and pasting text between files
While copying and pasting text from one InDesign file to another, the program often crashes. Today I finally understood what helps to avoid this: You need to break the links to all paragrahp styles before copying and pasting, then it works fine. Please try to fix this bug, it´s really annoying...
Thanks!

Add a blank to the font listing in the style menus
When you modify an existing style, there's no way to un-set the existing font except for reverting the whole style to blank. I'd like to be able to modify a style so that it no longer applies the font, without resetting the whole existing style.

Allow setting of dashed stroke options in Object Styles
It seems unrational that all other stroke options can be set in the styles but not this one.

Need a tutorial on forcing a paragraph style to actually work
I've been sporadically hunting for a year on how to force a paragraph style to actually work in a text box. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Yes, I've tried the option bit. All I want is for the right margins to be the same, and to have a bottom margin that will keep the last line X amount of line-height from the bottom of the text box.

Waaay back in the mists of time, when using QuarkXPress, I could copy a style to another paragraph with a key command. This saved a step ove
Keyboard shortcut for adopting paragraph style
I see on this forum that at one time InDesign offered this shortcut:
1. Using the text tool, click in a paragraph.
2. Hold Option & Shift, then click a Style Sheet formatted paragraph
3. The paragraph that had the text tool in it is now formatted to the [Option/Shift] clicked paragraph's Style Sheet.I just tried it in ID CC 2017 with no luck. Now the Notes palette opens.
Please bring it back. It was one of QkXP's best features, a major time saver. Way faster than opening the Styles palette and clicking…

SimpleWideShort Stoke start/End
A new start/End point for stokes being like the simplewide one, but being shorter, it's a needed feature when add technical measure to a illustration that was made out side of indesign. These technical drawing have some very small parts, and having a shorter simplewide point would be a great help, also changing scale is no help because I want the stroke width to remain the same.

Easier crosschecking, resetting and copying throughout all styles
We are working with at least ten different paragraph styles per document. If there are changes to be made in the CIs we have to check every single style: Opening up the Paragraph Style Options window, changing, closing, next style, reapeat... forgetting something and opening all windows again to check.
-> How about a button in the Paragraph Style Options window to jump to the previous or next style in the list? (might be useful to every kind of Style Option window)In the Paragraph Style Options window there is a Reset to Base button only under General.

Using local alphabets in Numering Style Format (Paragraph Styles)
We have only two character formats "A, B, C, D ..." and "a, b, c, d ..." except digital. But many of us work with texts in languages with other alphabets, which are also used as indexes of lists. It would be nice to have formats of local alphabets depending on the language chosen for the paragraph. For example, if the Russian language is selected for the paragraph, then in the list of character formats, except the Latin alphabet, there will be a Russian "А, Б, В, Г..."
This property should not depend on whether the localized or English version…2 votes -

Allow object style to set the size of an object
One of my ongoing projects is design and layout of a scientific journal with 2 column pages. Columns are 264pt wide, and every issue has hundreds of images that have to be 264 pts wide. They all have the same object style applied. If it could specify their width and cause them to be resized as soon as I apply the style, it would save me a ton of time and repetition.

Checkbox to change style of linked object
I would like to use/export interactive PDF, which would allow user to check the checkbox next to object. Upon checking, the object hidden style would become visible.
For example: I have PDF with multiple images of cars. When I check the checkbox near the image of car, that image will be overlayed with green transparent effect to show this car has been selected.
I would like to have this feature available for my collection overview and to see the visual feedback of all collected objects would be satisfying for me.

Keyboard Shortcut for Adopting Paragraph Style Sheets
Using the text tool, click in a paragraph.
Hold Option & Shift, then click a Style Sheet formatted paragraph
The paragraph that had the text tool in it is now formatted to the [Option/Shift] clicked paragraph's Style Sheet.
This is one of the most time saving keyboard shortcuts from Quark Xpress.
This saves countless hours for anyone formatting text, albeit a tri-fold, or a 1,000 page catalog.
PS: If you're going to mention Command/Return to bring up Style Sheets, this is not time saving. The user still has to scroll the curser around to select the Paragraph/Character Style Sheet, removing…

Better Stroke Styles with Gap color
This is actually a crossover between objects and styles. When I do a custom striped stroke style with a gap color, the gap color peeks out behind the stroke. It appears both in InDesign and in the resulting PDF. That background color should not show.

Excluding settings in (paragraph) styles
When editing a stylesheet i.e. for a paragraph I want to exclude the character colors. When checking -without color- there is also a override+ marking, which is not needed.
Can we have a checkbox to exclude some style settings or another solution?1 vote
