1. Threaded Text in Tables

   This feature will allow text threading via table cells to flow the text across the table.

   This will personally help me because I need to colorize specific areas while keeping the text flow. A table is the only real place I can do this.

3. Cell spacing

   It would be great to be able to have an spacing between cells, while being able to have a cell border.
   I'm working on a brochiure with this kind of table, but can't reproduce it with regular tables and cells.

4. Proper export format for Webdesign

   Since Indesign gets all the functionalities for webdesign : effects, objects styles, text and pargraph styles, interactivity, links, tempaltes...
   It would be great to be able to export designs to HTML/CSS in a real and proper way (not the nowadays export).
   Or, an export to PSD, at least.

5. I want to be able to search for an empty cell in a table, and able to add the cell icon (square) in a search..

   I want to be able search for the cell icon in a table or an empty cell.

   Sometimes I have to search for empty cells in tables and replace them with an en dash to show that they are intentionally empty.

   When you have over 70 tables in each book it would be really helpful to be able to search for an empty cell.

   And sometimes I need to search for characters that appear all over the document but I only want to find the ones in a cell, so being able to specify that icon in a search would be helpful too.

   Thank you.

7. Showing open book files on Start workspace

   Situation now:
   When opening a book file Indesign adds a book panel showing all contained documents. You can then open documents through this panel. I usually dock the panel to the right with my other panels to keep the workspace tight and clean.

   But now the tricky part:
   When I close all documents I've set Indesign to return to the Start workspace. This shift to another workspace makes the book panel disappear as well (since it is docked with the other panels). I have to go to the menus to find the panel again.
   I guess the reason for this behaviour is because the book panel is sort of conditional: it only appears when you have opened a book file.

   Solution:
   If it could be a fixed panel (showing even when no book file is open) we could somehow add it to the Start workspace and open another document through that panel.

   Or add the currently open files to the Start workspace?

8. Zoom box in Pages Window

   I would like to see in CC InDesign the ability to see where you're zoomed in at in your pages window. Also, I'd like to be able to click and hold onto the highlight zoomed in the area on the pages window and move it to update the preview when I let go of the highlighted zoom box.

   This would be helpful for us users that create large catalogs and would like to quickly JUMP-TO a portion of a page. With large catalog files, the program can get sluggish/slow. When the user has to scroll through a bunch of pages or even zoom out, the display lags and causes freezing or lagging issues. I think that if I were able to jump to the portion of the page that I wanted, it would help reduce these issues that I am having and as an added bonus, I would know where I am at on the current page.

   I've attached an example of this idea to this suggestion. (yes, I know my example is from CS6, but this suggestion is for CC for when i upgrade to it at the beginning of the next year)

9. TABS dialog box - so very tiny...

   Am I the only person who finds the Tabs dialog box ridiculously small and difficult to work with? Even if you zoom right into text, the box itself remains the same. In trying to move the indent markers I'm constantly creating unwanted new tab markers which can be easily deleted, but still annoying. Any words of wisdom?

10. Add a "Dropword" feature

    A “dropword” is like a drop cap, but instead of making one or more characters large, it makes a space for the letter or word, but leaves the word a normal size:

11. Automatic page addition or subtraction when links are updated

    Dear Team,

    My organization uses InDesign to compile our tender documents which vary from about 200 pages to 3000 pages in pdf format. These documents tend to change in terms of the number of pages with each tender. It would save a lot of time if InDesign would check for the new page numbers and add or remove the pages accordingly when updating links. Currently if I update my pdf file to have a few more pages, InDesign does not recognize the extra pages and therefore excludes them all together. I have to manually add the pages which is time consuming and prone to errors. I feel this is a solution that will open up InDesign more to the tendering practice. Thanks

    Regards
    Boniface Kathurima

12. Make it possible to export iframes to ePub

    To Adobe
    It is well known, that Apple blocks iFrames. But when you can insert youtube codes into an iframe in InDesign and see it work perfect in "Public Online", then why do the video disappear when I export InDesign files to the ePub format.

13. Master Page variables

    Let's say you have a master page that your entire document uses. The document has several sections and is colour coded. The only difference between each section is a coloured band. It would be amazing if there was a way to set a variable to the section which would change the colour of that bar. Presently the only way to do this is to make several master pages and change the bar in each one.

14. "Ignore Text Wrap" checkbox in Toolbar / Accessible in Quick Apply

    1. A box in the Toolbar to check "Ignore text wrap" - for this box; And either/or make the command accessible in the quick apply list.

    2. I find that I am doing this a lot to play around with designs to adapt - or not - to a image run-around. I don't want to have to find if there is a shortcut that might address this or a script.

16. Convert graphics from RGB to CMYK

    I use InDesign for a lot of print layout, and often graphics used/supplied (stock, photographs, etc.) are in RGB format. But for print I need these in CMYK format, and since ideas for which graphics to use and layouts change often before finalization I wait until the final OKs are given before converting graphics to CMYK.

    The way I see this working is through the "Links" tab, although perhaps it could be done through the "Package..." function. In the Links tab, it would give me the option of right-clicking an RGB file and within that popup menu give me the option to convert the source file to CMYK. That way I don't have to open everything individually in Photoshop, convert the files then save them.

    Otherwise, if this could be done through "Package..." that could work as well. Upon first exporting the Export dialog box warns about all RGB files that are linked. Perhaps there could be a checkbox somewhere to either convert the source files to CMYK, or just collect the linked files then convert them to CMYK thus leaving the source files as RGB?
