Adobe's out-of-date "Check Spelling" system
For long documents, every copy-conscious designer uses InDesign's "Check Spelling" feature. I think we can all agree it can be improved; the functionality and interface have changed very little since InDesign's inception.
We need an "Ignore Capitalization" button/feature:
InDesign users spend most of their spell-check time clicking the "Skip" or "Ignore All" buttons: skipping capitalization issues (where there are forced line breaks or lead-in lines styled in all caps, making the uncapped offender a benign issue), skipping proper names, skipping the plural and possessive versions of words we've already confirmed as legitimate. Why aren't there buttons for "Ignore Capitalization" and…

Arc or Warp feature for conical label designs
Please include warp features in Indesign so that labels for conical and tapered shapes can be created easily on an arc. The ability to create a curved template via inputting the top and bottom circumference of a cone should also be included so that curves can be customised. If this is not possible then possibly a PDF warp feature of exported flat designs from indesign would be useful. At present 3rd party software or plugins that offer this functionality (similar to Studio by Esko) are very expensive.
Thanks, Justin

画像やテキストのリンクについて
画像やテキストのリンクで、仕様では絶対パスのみだが、
設定で、相対パスも選べるようにして欲しい。
WEBサイト制作時のように、
同じような作品をいくつも作る際に、
作品毎のフォルダ環境を同じ状態にしておけば、
リンク更新せずに画像、テキストを自動的に
拾ってくれるようになり、とても便利だと思う。
今回サポートに質問させていただき、
出来ないことに驚いている。
あって当然の機能だと思います。2 votes -
Enable the user to select specific pages, spreads or page ranges to share for review
I would like to be able to create a link (to share for review) for specific pages or page ranges, so I can send a stakeholder the work applicable to them and not sharing my whole document with them.

share for review improvement
Hi Adobe, share for review is an amazing feature. Three simple features I'm really missing
- A button where my client can officialy approve the design
- An option to show higher res pdf's
- Copy paste possibility from the review in Indesign: as a designer you need to copy new given texts from clients. Now I have to type everything with the possibility of mistakes. Moreover, a lot of designers are more visually focussed and sometimes even dyslectic. A must have and simple feature in my eyes.

Snap to Glyph option like the one that exists in Illustrator
Not much to elaborate on, but I'd love to see this option available in InDesign as I frequently find it useful in Illustrator. When trying to align objects to the center of the text, as opposed to the text box (because the text box is taller than the text), this would be amazing.
Alternatively - a way to double click on the top-most midpoint of the text box and have it autosnap to the glyph height. This is virtually identical to the feature that already exists within InDesign.

Why a new .indd file format with each update?
There was a time ID didn't require a new file format with each yearly update. Although I realize some features may genuinely require a new .indd format, I'm not sure the changes to latest CC22 require one. This is the 4th or 5th consecutive change, which means I have to update all files I regularly use through the years (standards manuals and the like). I can still seamlessly open Photoshop and Illustrator files from 5-10 years ago without worrying about re-saving them.

Font size menu bars
I would like to be able to increase the font size for menu bars, tools and mouse-over hints. It would be a great improvement in terms of accessibility.

Horizontal column/row guides when creating a new document
Ability to create rows as well as columns as guides when creating a new document so that we can easily grid a page. Often I have to put items 4-up or 8-up and so forth and having the vertical columns is helpful but it would be even better to be able to have horizontal rows at the same time instead of having to measure them and drag guides down.

Give us the option to ignore certain instances of spelling & grammar errors, just like Adobe Illustrator.
Just like Adobe Illustrator, please add optional checkboxes to either include/exclude things like "repeated words" or "uncapitalized start of sentence" instances. Also... Illustrator has a section of the dialog box where you can optionally ignore (1) uppercase words, (2) roman numerals, and (3) words with numbers. This would be a great feature to implement within InDesign as well, especially since InDesign is the go-to program for layouts.

Ability to anchor graphics across spreads
Because with accessibility it is important to anchor graphics, sometimes when the graphic reference is on the previous spread or the next spread, it is necessary to anchor to another spread when the graphic doesn't fit. When you do this, indesign will automatically move the graphic to another page. You should have the ability to anchor something across spreads.

Smooth trackpad two finger scrolling
Smooth trackpad two finger scrolling. Using Macbook Pro with m1. Currently, scrolling two fingers via trackpad is laggy. Wish it was as smooth as scrolling while using the hand tool.

Additional View Options
I would like to be able to view my pages in a grid format, similar to viewing art boards in a grid in Illustrator, for ease of design review across many pages and spreads.

Fit Tables to Frame
Sometimes you just know how exactly a table should look, so a table that would just fill the frame you just created would just make sense. A way to resize the table without distorting its content or anything else would be a nice improvement to.

Conditional Formatting
Have at least a subset of style attributes conditional on the preceding style. For example, it would be great to be able to have different Space Before/Space After or Indent/First Line settings for a Heading3 paragraph when it is Heading2 > Heading3 than for Body > Heading3. Or for a paragraph following an inline image. Or change the type size and leading for a pullquote following Heading1 vs deeper in a story. Could be full paragraph styles or just a subset of attributes (I don't know when changing keep options conditionally would be helpful, but why not?)
