option to start paragraph rule at end of text
Give an option to start a paragraph rule at end of text, possibly with a specified amount of white space between the end of text and the beginning of the rule.
Attached are an example of what I'm wanting, and two shots of the paragraph rule settings I'm currently using to try and accomplish.

Jump to page 1 = just go to first page already
If my document is numbered pages 43 to 59, for example, and I press Command -J and enter "1" for "Go to page:" PLEASE just take me to the first page in the document! Is that too much to ask? ;-)

Track changes for anchored stories automatically
When you turn on Track Changes for a story, you have to remember to also click inside any/all anchored stories and turn on Track Changes individually for them as well. I think it's a given that when you're tracking changes to a story, you want to track changes to all "child" stories as well. This should happen by default.

Threading Text
Add an option for threading text that once you've started the process you can just click ANYWHERE in the box to keep threading. It's very difficult to find that tiny red box in the corner when you want to thread 30+ boxes.

Auto speads into pages
Sometime we have to design in spreads then output for print in pages. This means with a spread you have to add bleed to the right of a left hand page and add bleed to the left of right pages when manually breaking the pages apart.
It would save time if Indesign 1- split all speads into pages and 2 -
extended any image/ coloured boxes to the left/ right by the amount specified in the bleed preferences.4 votes -
Prevent fonts from becoming bitmap when copied into InDesign or Illustrator
Why does a font in InDesign become bitmapped when copied into Illustrator; or the other way around - Illustrator into InDesign?
In Illustrator, why is there no keyboard command for FIND AND REPLACE as there are in other Adobe applications.

One desktop for all pages instead of desktops for each seperate page/spread
When copying asset(s) to the desktop you always have to search on wich pages you copied that asset(s). When all pages are on the same desktop, the copied assets are more easy to find, because they are always on one desktop.

Checkbox to exclude styles from output in »edit all export tags« panel
I'd love to exclude styles to be output into HTML, EPUB, etc. with a simple checkbox in the »edit all export tags« panel. Up to now, I have to delete styles that I don't want in the export every time before the export. The checkbox would save a lot of time with recurring work as journals etc.

Make the layers right hand side squares bigger!
Hi, might just be me, but the little squares to denote in which layer an object is in is too small, or not very co-operative.
If I need to move something from one layer to another, I find it really difficult to hit the target right to move the item, the square is too small.I am not blind, its just the one element of the UI that I constantly don't get a positive result from first time, normally takes 3 attempts!

Place dialogue box: make "All Pages" to be default option instead of "Previewed Page"
It will be a very useful feature (it will save a lot of time) to allow the user to select the default option in the Place dialogue.
This would be very useful when you have to import all the pages of a great number of files: one could make "All Pages" the default option so to skip all the dialogue boxes that show for each file.For example:
You have 50 Illustrator (ai) files. Each file contains 2 canvases.
You could tell Indesign to keep the "all pages" option in the first tab of the "Import options" dialogue as the…

Please Integrate with photoshop.
Im having a nightmare trying to open Indesign files in to photoshop, keeping layers. One can think that it would be more natural, because thay are both design programs made by the same company. In practice it seems to be impossible. Please I need to be able to do it somehow. Any clues?

Vignette effect for frames
Hi guys,
This would be a killing feature. There's NO WAY to automatically assign a vignette effect to a photo frame. I order to do that I have to:
1) Emulate the effect . by assigning inner shadow to a frame. This is kind of ok but it has probblems: it's not a propper vignette (vignettes actually affect corners, kind of a radial gradient) and there is no way to apply a size that is relative to the frame (I know, this is not even possible anywhere).
2) On a picture, I can select the content of the frame (the…

Option to turn off auto centre when selecting layers
When selecting objects in my layers panel, my screen jumps to that object. This is not what I want. No way. Never.
Sometimes i go through my layers and select them to see what they are especially if they aren't named. But i don't want to navigate to them automatically! If i have zoomed in and am looking at a particular object, there is no way i want some automatic feature to take me away to a different part of the document - just so i have to zoom out and go back to where i was focusing on.

Layers panel addressing one page at a time (even with spreads) for 508 compliancy
My agency has to do a lot of remediation to our files to meet accessibility requirements. Currently we use the layers panel to arrange objects on the page so that the reading order makes sense when the PDFs are read using assistive software. With files set up in spreads, all items on the spread are considered in the reading order despite the final PDF being output as single pages. It would be nice if the layers panel could be configured to address one page at a time (vs. two pages, as it is now). For simple projects, the spread approach…

Too Much Pain and Harm: InDesign Find Interface Input Boxes with Too Little Font
Too Much Pain and Harm: InDesign Find Interface Input Boxes with Too Little Font
Too Much Pain and Harm: InDesign Find Interface Input Boxes with Too Little Font
If the lookup is simple and short, you may think it doesn't matter.
But the inner word is a little long, want to modify and need to find half a day.Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be able to freely enlarge the font?

Show preflight errors not at the margin of the screen
Preflight is showing the locations of the errors it has found somewhere in the margin of the screen. Sometimes at the top, sometimes at the bottom (see screenshots).
This is a bit annoying when taking a closer look. Any chance to change this to "in the middle of the screen"?3 votes -
[ID-4261554] InDesign MacOS Sequoia Window Snapping Feature
I'd appreciate if InDesign would implement window snapping feature as well in macOS Sequoia since all other Adobe apps have this already.

A preset to limit your FONT view to preferred language, such as the one chosen by OS/region.
I have to use Noto Sans; Its required by my work at my University.
Is there a way to limit your font view to preferred language chosen by OS/region. My font menu is a mess of languages and it's hard to navigate to choose just "Noto Sans." Try it... really.. Try and Type "Noto Sans"... I never get the one I type it's always one of the other languages versions.
- So when a user choose their working language, InDesign offer them the right set of font.
Font lists are wayyyy tooooooo long to contain all the wolds languages by default!…
