Paragraph style doesn't save for captions
Saving paragraph styles for generating captions. I open many documents a day and would like to save the Paragraph Style. I make my changes and save it. I open another file and have to start over. No preset available. Maybe I'm missing something?

Have an option in the settings to tern of hyphenations on start up. As a student the hyphens make the work look messy

Overscroll Feature
It would be so nice to be able to enable overscroll in Indesign like you can in Photoshop. It feels so claustrophobic not being able to overscroll.

FINDING AND HIGHLIGHTING DOCUMENTS IN THE BOOK PANEL.
Hi
I have a long document, each page sets to one document file (e.g. 200 pages equal 200 documents in the Book Panel!). Each book file has own title, some titles are short and some longer.
Finding documents by their own name is necessary for me through this long list and finding by scroll down and up to find a specific document is time-wasting, boring task.
I didn’t find any features in the Book Panel pop-up menu. Do you know any tricks to find a document by its own title among the many documents in the Book panel?
Also, some…

Indesign work files have huge file size
I am used to work with older versions of indesign, and sometimes quark. The file sizes I am used to is around 300 Mb at most. On the newer indesign I get file sizes up to almost 3 GB! All the images I use combined in the document is not even a quart of that size, and I do not embed any images. This takes up a lot of space and makes it hard to work in a network environment.

Remember the view pages preference (alternate layout/vert/horiz) for documents
I go back and forth a lot working with documents with alternate layouts and those without. It would be helpful if the page view preference is saved along with the document instead of switching back and forth manually.

Eliminate document size limits
It would be great if there weren't size limit on documents. I am currently working on a very large design for a trade show booth. And I have to do it in Photoshop due to the size limits of InDesign. It is taking so much longer than it needs to because every time I try to transform or resize something, it takes 20 minutes to complete a small task Doing this in InDesign would be way better.

Viewing bleeds on two-page spread
Would be nice if any objects that bleed off the binding edge would be cropped to the page edge when viewed as a two-page spread.

Tabbing Sequence in Properties window
When changing an open document's size from Properties window, pressing tab after changing the 'Width' takes you to 'Number of pages' field instead of 'Height' field.
When working quickly this can disrupt productivity, especially when you're waiting to have '297 pages' created instead of simply changing the canvas to 297mm height. A minor but convenient change.

Option to turn spell check off or skip master pages.
It would be helpful to be able to skip the spell check in master pages without turning the language to [No Language]. As well as make the "Ignore All" or "Add" feature in spell check work better and actually skip common use for your documents.

Please add Units/increments within File>Document Setup...

Organise Black Document Presets
I would like to organise the Black Document Presets by dragging and dropping them into the position that I want. This would save time because I never use the four top presets.
I would use this feature by dragging A4, A5 and A3 to the top of the list so I don't need to click on View All Presets.

Create Document Template Based on Current Document
Create an absolutely empty document with settings and styles based on an open document.
Sometimes we need to create a document template based on a ready one. You need to keep all styles, master pages, color sets, etc. At the same time, the working pages should remain empty.

Several templates for a page / spread
The requirement is to add different templates to a page / spread.
It should be possible to simply combine templates independent of each other. Not based on etc...
The names of templates could then be displayed one beneath another in page list preview. To apply several templates, we could select them at once and drug and drop to the page list preview.
For example – one template for page numbers, another template for logo. Combining different logos and different colors of page numbers will then dramatically reduce the required template quantity.2 votes -
Save Page(s) as File(s)
I prepare files for a team of 5 designers at my local university. In order for the designers to work on the project they need each page as a separate .indd file. As it would make my life easier and sounds like I don't want to do my job it would increase my workflow immensely.
