  3. Spell Check to start from selected text or text box

    The ability to Spell Check to start from selected text or text box would be a real time saver.

    Maybe add an on/off toggle to see spelling errors when needed.

    I'm a horrible speller and sometimes just want to check what I just wrote not the entire document. I end up copying and pasting into Google which these days really confuses the (Artificial Intelligence).

    Please consider this for Illustrator too.

    Thank you.

  4. Ability to change text from a dialog box like Corel Draw

    I use Corel Draw from time to time and when I need to edit a string of text it lets me edit it from a dialog box instead of only on the page so I do not have to zoom up on any text strings to edit them. Can this be done for InDesign and Illustrator as well.

  5. Can we please remove all the question marks from InDesign placeholder text?

    All of the question marks in placeholder text are an unrealistic representation of typical body copy. I end up having to remove them all when developing layout comps. Not a big deal, but annoying.

  6. Indesign 2024

    To the developers:

    I am in charge of a newspaper in the north of Spain, ALERTA. I am considering whether to switch to the new InDesign 2024 following the information from the presentation meeting your company held. It has taken me time to adapt our catalog to your new policy on Type 1 fonts. Once this issue was resolved, and I was able to look at the new features of the new version, I found that some of the things said in that presentation are either false or not entirely true to reality. That story about the new paragraph styles…

  7. Serbian language

    Hello, on behalf of all the page layout designers from Serbia, I am asking you to include support for the Serbian language in a future version of Indesign. We use both Cyrillic and Latin letters equally, so this option would mean a lot to us.
    Thank you!

  8. copa airlines baggage fees

    Copa Airlines commonly includes a complimentary checked baggage allowance with your ticket, varying based on factors such as travel class and destination. Should you exceed this allowance or require additional checked bags, fees may apply. It's crucial to check Copa Airlines' official website or contact the airline directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information on checked baggage fees. https://baggagebee.com/blog/copa-airlines-baggage-allowance/

  9. AI Translation in future InDesign

    Adobe Express now has built-in AI translation services for their product. Why is this not available in InDesign?

    I'm not expecting 100% accuracy, we have translators to proof results, but this would be so much more efficient as a first-pass instead of exporting IDML to send to a service or through Trados software.

  10. AI assisted paragraph´s hyphenation and justification

    could Indesign suggest different H&J options for the selected paragraph so the designer could choose the best suited, among available options?

    Artificial Intelligence offers 3 options to choose in Photoshop.
    Could we have 3 AI assisted h&j options to choose from?

  11. Allow the continuity of footnotes according to pages and not blocks OR chaining anchored text blocks ?!

    I use anchored boxes which (unfortunately) contain notes.
    The numbering of the notes resumes as if it were the start of another document, that is to say at 1.
    I would like it to be possible for these note numbers to follow the previous ones and for the following ones to take them into account:
    note 1 in the text – anchored box with note which should be 2 (and not 1) – note which should be 3 in the text (but which will be 2…). Aaaargh…
    Perhaps a numbering option like in the paragraph styles/Bullets and numbering options where…

  12. Add OpenType attributes into Find/Change search criteria

    InDesign lets users search for type attributes found in Paragraph and Character style criteria, but it does not let users search for applied OpenType attributes like fractionals, etc. in the Find/Change dialog box. It would be useful to find and fix issues when OpenType attributes don't perform as expected.

    Since Adobe is making such a big push to abolish Type 1 fonts in its applications, I think that it would be a useful gesture to include OpenType attributes to its search criteria options through the Edit>Find/Change... menu command.

  13. pdf imported remarks

    At the moment its only possible to accept remarks/corrections one at a time. But often in a document, there are exactly the same corrections. For example: amsterdam becomes Amsterdam (Capital A). It would be great to accept all these similar corrections at once (or be offered to accept them one at a time throughout the document). And remarks like delete page number are not supported. (masterpage elements)

  14. Could the order of fonts in the lists in Find/Replace font be adjusted?

    In the Find section of the dialog the font styles are listed alphabetically. In the Replace section they are listed by their order in the menu (from thin to black or whatever).
    Could this be the same in both sections?

  16. Toggle off onscreen visibility of Endnotes markers

    Endnotes imported from Word are marked in InDesign by blue L-shaped brackets at the beginning and end of each note. Why can't the onscreen visibility of these characters be toggled off with Type > Hide Hidden Characters.
    The blue brackets are enormously annoying when making onscreen assessments of full-page typography issues.
    (Yes, I realize that the brackets cannot be removed and do not print, but I would like to have option of making them invisible onscreen.)

  17. Add "don't show again" option to error box

    See attached image.

    "Invalid indent value. Indents cannot extend outside text frame."

    I'd love to be rid of it, since it just appears when I hit the button one too many times.

  18. Using microphone to type

    Indesign (all adobe apps I use) do not recognize voice microphone (talk to text) option

    I am using Mac OS with my apps to assist and InDesign will not work with talk to text feature, or simply the microphone. Is there a solution for this? I see no Adobe Apps such as Photoshop allows this functionality either and InDesign is the only one that is very important and needs to have that functionality.

    Is adobe going to work on this situation? When I have to do a text heavy document and the option of talk to text is a savior.…

  19. Conversion of Text Encoding

    1. InDesign is missing a built-in function to convert different Chinese text encoding, e.g. Big5 to GBK or vice versa

    2. Right now, the only way to do it is to do the conversion of encoding elsewhere and paste the text back in InDesign. But then all formatting will be lost

  20. "Indent to here" from the right side

    it would be very helpful if, beside the option "indent to here", there is another optione to set a "indent to here from the right side".
    For Example if i have a text, where the last two words in the last line should be on the right side, but no text above should go as far as this two words .
