1. 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,

2. Unequal inset values in an Object Style don't display in a text frame if corners are rounded

   If you use an object style with unequal inset spacing and apply it to a text frame, the unequal spacing is ignore and made uniform.

   Steps to recreate:
   1. Create an Object Style
   2. Go to 'Text Frame General Options' for that style
   3. Set unequal values for 'Inset Spacing'
   4. Go to 'Stroke & Corner Cptions'
   5. In 'Corner Options' set 'Rounded'
   6. Create a Text Frame
   7. Fill Text Frame with placeholder text
   8. Apply Object Style to Text Frame

   Result: unequal inset spacing is ignored.

   If you apply unequal inset spacing manually there are no problems — unless you apply a corner rounding greater than 6mm, at which point unequal spacing is ignored.

   I've attached a screenshot of an InDesign file which demonstrates all of this.

   Here's a link to the InDesign file: https://adobe.ly/2X6CVOd

   As an addendum to this: object styles seem quite buggy generally. For example, if you set an initial paragraph style and select 'apply next' then later edit the paragraph style, the text frame doesn't always display the changes.

   If you use an object style with unequal inset spacing and apply it to a text frame, the unequal spacing is ignore and made uniform.

   Steps to recreate:
   1. Create an Object Style
   2. Go to 'Text Frame General Options' for that style

4. Vertical Pages Placement

   Vertical Pages Placement would be ideal for creating emails and web pages quicker. (Please see the attached image to understand what I am referring to)

   The idea is to created the pages vertically at the correct pixel size and in the correct flow order of the email/webpage design, that once the design is complete you can easily export the individual element as separate .jpg or .png etc.

   When looking at the numbers on the different boxes (Pages) I would like to be able to place number 6 next to box 5 on the right so it aligns with the rest of the boxes. This feature would be very useful when exporting the separate elements when uploading to dot digital.

   Most designers I work with will design and email in indesign and export it as a high res pdf, then open it up on photoshop and slice the sections up. This is a longer way of working and not as accurate either.

   If you would like this feature to be added to indesign please vote on the so the developers can implement this new feature.

5. Return the ability to place text on top of a photo in InDesign

   I've done all the current Adobe CC upgrades (InDesign, Photoshop Illustrator), and Mac OS Catalina, and suddenly I can't place text on top of a photo while working in an InDesign document. It used to be no problem!

6. In the 'EPUB export warning(s)' dialog box, make the problem description copyable

   Sometimes when exporting a book to EPUB, the 'EPUB export warning(s)' dialog pops up.

   The most obvious action for the user is to examine his documents to figure out what went wrong.

   But that dialog box is modal. The user must close it before proceeding.

   Sure, it would be nice to make that dialog box non-modal, so that the user could look at their documents while having the problem descriptions available.

   Lacking that feature, though, you could make it easy to copy the problem text to another app (such as Windows Notepad). You allow the first step: Letting the user select the text. But you don't allow the second step: Letting the user copy the text to the clipboard using ^C.

10. The footnote in journal layout

    Please add the ability to make the text of the footnote in a separate frame, that would be able to use footnotes in a complex, journal layout. Often there are situations when some text frames, each one has footnotes and the text of these footnotes were at the bottom of the page, separately, and the numbering in turn.

13. Live link Microsoft word documents when placed in InDesign

    When working with lots of teams and writers in our organisation. the constant issue we run into is only a select group of people have InDesign and the experience to operate the files. If there was a way when placing word documents were linked into InDesign, this would allow for a much more fluid workflow when there are a lot of edits.

    I am sure there are many limitations to this, but finding some sort of solution could make a big difference to creating quality documents that will allow non indesign users access. InCopy is not a viable option in the organisation.

15. Enable Animated/Scrubby Zoom

    Add the animated/scrubby zoom feature for PC users--it's time. It's ridiculous Photoshop and Illustrator has it, but not InDesign? Since Mac users are given tools PC users don't have, perhaps Adobe should discount our subscription fee.

17. We need an automated process to create multiple documents with one template.

    Imagine a process where Company1 creates an InDesign doc/template. They attach it to a customer account where that customer can upload a CSV file to populate the stories in that doc. Let's say 5 stories

    If that CSV had 30 rows with the 5 stories in each row then the InCopy > InDesign functionality would create 30 unique documents with potentially unique content.

19. InDesign

    I have too many old thumbnail showing in my InDesign screen. Some are useless items, such as drafts, that I saved, but later deleted. The file is deleted, but the thumbnail is still there. I also want to have some thumbnails from 3 years ago, not go searching for them among my files later. Why don't you let us delete thumbnails of deleted files? Why do they even show up, if we deleted the file? This is a bad either/or decision we shouldn't be forced into. It's quite inconvenient. Now I'm afraid to save a draft and and have even more thumbnails I can't get rid of. Am I missing something here, or do you programmers think this is a good idea, to make us have 100 thumbnails? Oh, just use the file folder is your response, but then why even have thumbnails? Because, obviously, because thumbnails are so convenient. But only the ones which we want to use, not a list of all of them, forever, including every draft we saved and have since deleted.
