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!

Add ability to export BOOK files (INDB) as IDMLs (or similar)
I have a customer who wanted me to export a book for them for translation, but wanted ALL IDML files. We create larger books using InDesign, which will export documents (via package) as IDMLs, but not books (INDB). I'm not really sure what the problem is on the other end, re-assembling this book using the INDB and IDMLs, but the customer insists on needing an IDML for the BOOK. Nothing in forums says this can be done, direct contact with Adobe support says it can't be done, so we are at an impass. Support person suggested entering a request, so…

Give paragraph styles a setting to load find/replace saved queries.
In paragraph styles, give us a space to autorun a find/replace 'saved query' with the style. I know we have GREP styles, but there are a swath of styles that i have to run every time on my magazine that would be awesome to just already have been done.
That or give us a query group list that I can run the whole list with one click. Having to run each, one at a time, is a nuisance.

Make style exclusive (Do not allow override)
If we make a style exclusive then user must create character style for each instance of style override. This may take more time at early stage, but this will prevent style override & build a document on stringent Style Definition.

Save PDFs in Black and White
Currently to get my pdfs in black and white I either have to edit each photo individually or I have to export it from indisegn, pull into photoshop, turn black and white, then bring it into illustrator to save as a pdf. This is ludicrous. There should just be an option to save a pdf of the document in black and white. This has been on the community boards for over 4 years and still isn't done.

Option to rotate all the contents of the multiple pages
Imagine, you are doing a big document in vertical orientation and its a lot of pages and then client ask that he wants to have it in horizontal instead. Without this function the process will take so much time it is painful to imagine!
The option is fairly simple and already there is a rotation page view exist just one step forward and it can be improved!Thank you for your attention.

Larger preview window on Place image dialog box
When picking images in a multi-page document from a PDF or Adobe Illustrator files, it would be nice to see a preview size bigger than the 125x125-ish window that is used in the dialog box. Thanks!

This is not so much an idea as a request to go back to the way fonts were previously displayed
If i select a font then change my mind the menu goes back to A, rather than going back to where the font is in the list, so i must scroll through the fonts again before i get back to where I was. I see no advantage to having it any other way. Adding recent fonts ids not of much use. I work in a national newspaper, and everyone complains about this feature. Thanks. Angelo

MAKE PACKAGE FEATURE USE ORIGINAL LOCATION AS ITS ROOT.
I would like the PACKAGE feature to default to the ORIGINAL location of the file. Rather than having to hunt around when I chose PACKAGE. I have many projects to package, and often when i choose PACKAGE FILES it will default to some previously-referenced folder—often completely different folder/location. Its a nuisance. Causes issues.

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.

Embed file option while placing the image in the page
Many-a-times after placing a Image, we need to Embed that as we don't want that to stay connected to the source.
That's why what we want is that before placing a Image, there should be a Link/Embed Option as there is in Illustrator so that I do not have to manually go to Links Panel and Embed it from there for every single Image. It will faster the work process2 votes -
