  2. "Select All Unused Stroke Styles" option for stroke style deletion

    Give us an option to "select all unused Stroke Styles" so that we can delete them. This feature is already offered in other panels: object styles, paragraph styles, colors. Currently there is no way to clean up stroke styles without selecting each individual stroke to see which stroke style is applied. selecting all unused stroke styles and deleting them all at once would save a tremendous amount of time, cause less confusion when applying styles, and help keep things tidy. Thank you.

  3. Option to lengthen the "Set Tab Order" modal box

    Setting up tabs in InDesign is almost perfect. The ability to lengthen the "Set Tab Order" modal box would be immensely helpful. When you have over 100 tabbed items or even 20 items, the ability to quickly order them without having to continuously scroll up/down would be a game changer. (MacOS)

  4. PLEASE!! Remove "Synchronize styles accross book" button

    PLEASE!! Remove "Synchronize styles accross book" button or at least add a "are you sure" confirm button.
    This is an irreversible action which can mess all documents within a book without the option to undo it.... AND IS NEXT TO "SAVE BOOK" BUTTON.
    You are just one pixel away from destroying your project instead of saving it!
    This is nuts

  5. What are the causes of Quickbooks error code 15241 ?

    There might be one or more of the following reasons behind the occurrence of QuickBooks Error 15241:

    1. The File Copy Service (FCS) in QuickBooks Desktop is turned off. This service is critical for the QB application's and payroll service's functions.
    2. The downloaded file was tampered with in some way.
    3. Alternatively, if the QuickBooks installation was not completed correctly.
    4. If the windows registry files were corrupted as a result of installing QuickBooks, the identical problem would appear.
    5. One such explanation could be a Trojan assault.
    6. In the event that some QuickBooks-related vital files are accidentally erased
    7. If your anti-virus application is…

  6. Use cursor scroll to zoom in/out of Adobe Indesign

    It is very inconvenient to not be able to use the scroll on the cursor to zoom in/out on Indesign. Especially when you go from using it in Photoshop and Illustrator, right to Indesign.

  7. Highlight text in preview only

    InDesign is often used for templates. It would be really cool if we could highlight text so that it's ONLY highlight in preview mode (W) and the highlight doesn't show in print, PDF etc. That way we can highlight the areas to change each time we edit a template but the highlight doesn't get printed.

  8. InDesign Review saving all the versions

    I really have to prove that I made (25) revisions but I don't want to make PDFs. Is there a way for InDesign Review app able to save all the versions without 'Saving As' and creating another and sometimes huge memory file?

  10. Finding Clipboard Contents Formatted and Unformatted

    Indesign has the feature of replacing any text with clipboard contents formated and unformatted ^C and ^c. This is very useful but this same feature is not present under find > other

    This is needed because for eg. we can find a wrongly rendered conjunct in the text and replace it throughout the file by copying the glyph. Later when we need to export the text to word or html, we have to replace the glyph with the wrongly rendered character. This is where InDesign does not presently have the option.

    I am sure it will be simple for the…

  11. Update the notes feature

    We use notes to communicate between editors, designers, and compositors. It would be great if you could filter or sort notes by the user.

  14. Changes to the tab order interface - make it work like layers pallet

    It would be great if the tab order box that allows you to reorder their order could function like the layer pallet - allowing you to simply drag the order up and down as required while the document remains active.

    This would allow complex interactive pdfs to have fields added and reordered with ease.

  18. The ability to translate file from right to left language to english

    I would love to have the option to “translate” a document form a right to left languages to English.
    Also the ability to change a document settings to English after some or all work is done.
    I tried to do this kind of things on my project the file started to work very slow, not able to work slow.
    Thank you!!

  19. sidebar right not scrollable - Bedienfelder rechts nicht scrollbar

    Die Bedienfelder auf der rechten Seite können nicht mit dem Mausrad hoch und runter gefahren werden. ich muss immer in den Balken klicken und kann nicht mit dem Mausrad scrollen.

    The panels on the right cannot be scrolled up and down with the mouse wheel. I always have to click in the bar and can't scroll with the mouse wheel.

  20. Rearranging Pages

    It would be helpful to have a way to view multiple spreads at the same time, like a better "click to split the layout view". First off it would save me a lot of scrolling back and forth trying to see other spreads. This could also be a way to make organizing the pages easier. It's hard to rearrange pages of texts from small thumbnail images in a larger document. If this could incorporate an easier workflow for organizing and numbering pages that would be great, to be able to hide a section of pages. I do use multiple documents…
