It is great how, at the top of the Indesign work area, when you choose the text portion of the control panel, you can still (at far right) access some paragraph tools (spacing, etc.); and how when you choose the para portion of the control panel, text tools are also still available at far right. Perhaps there is a reason I haven't thought out as yet why my idea hasn't been done, but I have to, I am CONSTANTLY needing to access the align/do not align to baseline tool when I'm in text mode, and I have to keep switching back to the para mode to get to it! It's such a small tool. Is there any way to incorporate it onto the text bar the same way you have incorporated other para bar tools? That would be so helpful! Thanks for any consideration

Currently, if you have Number of Recent Fonts to Display set to anything but zero (0), recent fonts appear at the font drop down list, but the drop down starts at the top of the fonts list no matter what your current font is.

If I am just wanting the next or previous font in the list from the font I am currently using, I now have to scroll all the way down to that font. When the Number of Recent Fonts to Display is set to zero (0), when the drop down is selected, it is positioned at the font you are currently using instead of the top of the list. This is preferable.

Can you combine these actions. When there is a recent fonts list, the drop down should be at the current font being used in the text that is selected.

This is something CorelDraw does and has done for years. Here's to hoping this would be an easy programming issue. Otherwise, I will not use that feature due to the amount of scrolling that needs to be done to get to the current font, or any other font I want to get that is not right at the top.

I use Indesign to create accessible PDFs but there are a few features that should be there.

TABLES
Automatic Header Column and Header Row tagging. At the moment Header Column is recognized but not Header Row. If this was implemented you could go a step further and add ID tags and scope automatically. This would be a huge time saver since this all has to be done manually in Acrobat. It would also be nice to have an option to specify the Title of the table as a caption tag.

FOOTNOTES
At the moment you have to add the proper tags manually and move them to the proper place.

LINKS
Please add an Alt tag area when creating a link. Even word has that.

ARTIFACTS
For some reason even when you tell an object to be an Artifact in InDesign, it still comes out as an untagged element. This is a huge time sucker especially when it comes to large publications. Having to go through the Content pane in Acrobat marking unmarked elements is a pain! All lines, rules, and shading should automatically be marked as an artifact by Indesign.

ARTICLES
When you export a file to PDF and tell the Articles panel to Use the Reading Order in Tagged PDF, you still have to select all pages in Acrobat and tell it to Use Document Structure.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Telling your TOC to use proper TOC tags. I don't understand why this is not built into InDesign already.

Thanks for listening,
Shane

The Pantone Swatches do not update when updating Adobe software in the cloud. And updating with Pantone Color Manager is completely inane.

I have the most recent update for Adobe (InDesign CC Release 2017.1, and a build of 12.1.0.56 x64) and have loaded the most recent Pantone Color Manager to update the Pantone Plus Color Bridge colors (i started with one color library... updating all libraries would take at least a half day)

After updating:
1. I can no longer search for colors as I used to, so I manually have to scroll through the whole list to find the general color and this is very tedious.
2. The library upgrades are tied to Pantone color swatch book serial numbers. Even when using serial numbers the Color Manager app started telling me after one month of usage that I needed to reactivate because my license was up.

1. There seems to be no way to delete the old color libraries, and the new ones load at the bottom of the list.

I know this is a partnership between Adobe and Pantone, however Adobe software is useless if we cannot choose industry standard colors. It's been extremely challenging, especially with a CC subscription.

Color choice is a basic part of each program, so having this fundamental issue makes it hard to create work, prepare files for printing or uploading while expecting similar results.
