left to right (LTR) text option in indesign 17.2.1.
I don't find the left to right (LTR) text option in indesign 17.2.1. Do you know why? I work with multilanguages and I must have the option to change the direction of the texts (arab-english). In previous versions I had that option but now I don't. Do you know how to do now, please?

Always fill the type area
Please give us an option to always fill the type area. When setting up books like novels many customers want the type area to be filled up to the last line. But setting up the text wrap to avoid widows and orphans often leads to blank lines at the bottom of the type area. Normally we try to get around this by increasing or decreasing text spacing or scaling a bit to save or generate an additional line. It would be wonderful to have an option that brings InDesign to always try to fill the type area.

Request for adding Mongolian language spelling dictionary
Hello,
Of course, there are many users from Mongolia, but we can't use our native language spelling dictionary in Indesign. And I want to add a Mongolian language spelling dictionary to Indesign. I've attached the Hunspell dictionary file with the hyphenation file. Hope every Mongolian will be using a Mongolian spelling dictionary within Indesign soon. Thank you!
You can find the Hunspell dictionary from these links:

Smart Object typography in Photoshop Be Editable in InDesign
I work in sports so I have create schedule graphics. I love to format the text in InDesign and paste it into Photoshop as a smart object to build out my digital graphics but when I need to edit that smart object it kicks me into Illustrator to edit the text. I would love to be able to edit the smart object typography in InDesign where it was originally created.
(My work around has been to edit the text in InDesign and just re-paste into Illustrator.)

Adjust text in frame to the right
Text tool. If you have too much text for a text frame with a small amount of text (e.g. 1-10 words), the text frame should enlarge to the right instead of downwards by using the keyboard command cmd+alt+c.
It would improve the workflow significantly, since you don't always have to drag the text box "right" again afterwards.2 votes -
Layered Fonts
Please do provide a tool to implement layered fonts. The tool would need to:
- be able to automatically superimpose different layers of a font with different styles (color etc.) in the same place, or in a slight interval to create a shadow-effect
- be applicable to initials (as this is a very common use for layered fonts)2 votes -
Change colour of text dependent on immediate background colour
Some of my jobs involve text being placed on a background image or company logo. Often,, this background has wildly contrasting colours/shades and the text immediately in front of it becomes invisible. I then change the colour of that text from, say, black to white, to render it visible again.
Unfortunately, if there are then any amendments to the text, the white text now lies over a light background and becomes invisible. Currently, I just go over the text with a beady eye and make the amendments accordingly.
Is it, would it, be possible for there to be a script,…2 votes -
Tracking: highlight tight and loose lines with two colours
I typeset books and it is often useful to see at a glance where text can be tweaked in order to make or lose a line. Having two colours would make it much quicker and easier to identify affected lines. Being able to modify the colours would be a bonus.

Option to hide fonts
One thing that I would love to see is a hide button that allows you to hide rarely used and/or system fonts from the main list. Having to scroll through a large list of often useless or irrelevant fonts, to find the ones that might work for your project tends to be frustrating and inefficient, especially in an application meant for text and document layout. Having an option to reduce the amount of visual clutter, would make for a better user experience and more effective workflows. The document is a quick mockup I made to show what it might look…

Update the dictionary in all languages
Hi! Make updates to the the dictionaries part of the updates that come down from creative cloud. Or make it easier for a user to update their own dictionary. Words like coronavirus should be included, these are easily spell checked with Google but not in InDesign.

Sorting alphabetically (A-Z) and all other languages
This is very important feature for any application deal with text and books.
i think i don't need to mention that other applications like Ms word have that option.it is really important that InDesign should have sorting option for paragraphs/text and tables.
it is disappointed that in that time still sorting options is not exist in InDesign.

Show/Hide global baseline and textframe baseline individually
It would be nice to be able to show/hide the global baseline and textframe baseline individually. At the moment they are turned on and off together which can be pretty hard to navigate.

Option to strip out overloaded Mac system fonts like NOTO in font menu
Later Mac OS's install 100's of fonts that cannot be removed. They clog up the Font menus badly. It makes font selection a nightmare. Noto is but one.

Allow option to specify pages to spell check!
Give us an option to specify what pages to spell check, or spell check entire document.
Sometimes when you have a long document and you've only made revisions to one page, you don't want to have to spell check the entire document all over again. Think annual reports!

View Verso/Recto Page as Transparent Overlay
Include within View > Extras an option to turn on a transparent and mirrored overlay of the other side of a given page in a book. Allow for customization of transparency and color. Provides a quick way to check the baseline grid is properly aligned and that there wont be conflict with elements on previous page.

Custom Font Categories
I have several types of fonts in my personal collection that would like to group into custom categories for easy access. For example, Retro, Holiday, Customer Name, etc. It would be nice to access them where indicated in the screenshot. " "Favorites" is fine, and "Font Filtering" works too, but would it be possible to have a handful of custom groupings available?

Copy/Paste text formatting
It would be nice to be able to copy and paste formatting from/to text like you can copy and paste settings from one photo to the next in Lightroom. This way you would not have to create styles for every formatting choice that repeats.

Add grep Location option for "end of line"
Hi,
it's possible add the option for grep location, similar to the "end of paragraph" option, but for the "end of the line"? I think it's very helpful for advanced formatting long text.Thank you
