Bring back newly activated fonts
Since updating to Indesign CC 2018, we can no longer use newly activated fonts. I have to restart Indesign after each time I activate a font. Please fix!

Indents without first line indent
Would be great if you could change the indent feature. Right now, if you use the indent function, it also gives the first line an indent. It would be better if you could add an indent in the paragraph style without affecting the first line of the body copy.

GREP query to remove whitespace before sentence
Along with a query for removing trailing whitespace, one is needed for preceding whitespace. The workaround of searching for ^p+space does not work in all instances, especially in tables.

Paste Variable text
In Find/Change have an option to paste a variable. I will often search for a word and then need to paste a variable. Currently I have to right-click the results, choose Insert Variable, and then choose the variable.
Do that 10 times when a writer forgets to use a variable, replace all would be great.

Ignora contorna con testo
Buongiorno, rilevo che quando copio un oggetto da un documento ad un altro (Ctrl+c Ctrl+v) viene persa l'impostazione "ignora contorna con testo".
Necessito di una soluzione.
GrazieGood morning, I notice that when I copy an object from one document to another (Ctrl+c Ctrl+v), the "ignore wrap with text" (https://helpx.adobe.com/it/indesign/using/text-wrap.html) setting is lost.
Needed a solution.

Turn on/off show spell check in PREVIEW or other screen modes. Not just NORMAL
When switching between NORMAL screen Mode to PREVIEW mode I still want any spelling errors to show. This would be great in any screen mode with some kind of a toggle button. In fact, the ability to show various hidden paragraph and character formatting would be brilliant.

Span Columns: Let us enter "1"
Currently, when we go to Span Columns and type "1" we get an error.
It would be so great to be able to type "1" and have InDesign realize that we are wanting to, in effect, switch the paragraph layout from Span Columns to Single Columns.

Hyphenate : make exceptions
1 How if we could select/input characters which do NOT count as characters to be hyphenated ? My customers wants his product names & codes (which contain hyphens) NOT to be hyphenated. So in the paragraph hyphen options there would be a box to input "/" or combos like "Li-Ion".
2 Would save enormously on manual copy checks.

Create Terminology-list
Implement a function to handle a Terminology-List.
Of course - there are several Tools and PlugIns available to manage Terminology. In most cases these Products are not necessary and too big. And the all have two things in common: Price and Handling.
So the easiest way would be if we could have the possibility to manage on flattest way a terminology list (outside the document) by ourselve. In the first step it would be enough to have allowed terms and the banned terms in the list. Via the existing control board it should be possible to markup banned terms and…

Allow manual reordering of Conditions
In all the other panel, we have the ability to sort by name, and arrange the items within groups. But the Conditional Text Panel sorts exclusively alphanumerically.
I would like a way to sort Conditions manually, and to group them into parent-child relationships. Like this: https://indesignsecrets.com/finally-conditional-text.php
I also like how InDesign allows us to highlight pages, so we can view them more easily. I want the same feature for Conditional text.

Autmatic High of Textframes and Tabel-Cells in steps/on grid
If a textframe has an automatic high, is dos not fit on the grid. it would be nice, when there would be the option "fit on grid" or/and "in steps of XX mm". The same probelm is in Tabels, when in one cell the text get lmultiline.

Mimic Text Box
For Example: If you have a list of people and you create a text box for each person that has a number in the text box.
Further in the document you would have a map that also has the numbers showing which person is situated where.
What would be very helpful is to have those 2 numbers (1 and 1, 2 and 2, etc.) be able to auto update the other.
So when someone is removed from the list, the person numbered 10 originally now becomes 9, which also auto updates on the map

When you highlight text - then select something else - it would be really cool if the same text was selected when you went back to it
When you highlight a block of text - then select a different element - it would be really cool if the text was highlighted when you went back to the text box and selected it.

Add a tab feature that automatically sets even spacing between words or blocks of text
When creating forms, I often have a line of text where I need to break the line into individual words or groups of words, similar to placing them in columns, but it's done using tab stops. It would be great to have a tab feature that lets you automatically set the tab distance between each word group so that the spacing between each word group is consistent. Right now it has to be done manually setting multiple tab stops on each line, which is time-consuming.

Free time
Looking for some online entertainment, I came across https://mcw-bangladesh.org/ . I liked that the site was easy to navigate and seemed safe. Plus, they offer bonuses that suit Bangladeshi users, which adds a nice local touch. I find it enjoyable to spend my time here, with a variety of games that keep things interesting. The platform is a great way to unwind without feeling too commercial or complicated.

Combine Enhance Scanned File with AI
I have a very large scanned pdf of a document that was typed with an old typewriter. I am transferring it all to InDesign and the quality of the text when I copy and paste from the scanned document is awful which is making me have to retype large chunks.
It would be very powerful to use AI to test the text and make sense of it rather than the current output which is mostly garbage.
And when I use the spell suggester, it comes out with such random suggestions which bear no relation to the actual spelling of the…1 vote -

Ancient Greek spell check
I have read an article (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/add_cs_dictionaries.html) about adding a Hunspell dictionary in inDesign and try to insert the Ancient Greek dic in InDesign but it was not working properly. I hope Adobe in the future to include and the Ancient Greek Language as there are many University Studies which teach Ancient Greek Literature and print books in ancient greek language. There is already a free hunspell dic so I suppose that it will be easy for adobe such a thing.
