Adjust minimum height and width when scaling text frames with autosize
When scaling a text frame that is set to autosize with a minimum height and width, everything gets scaled – except for the minimum height and width, leading to ridiculously looking assets when scaled to different sizes for one-time-exceptions.
Please make it so the minimum width and height is scaled just as the margins and everything else - it would make working with assets with automadet assets with irregular sizes so much easier. Thanks!

Underline options > color should be TEXT COLOR by default!!
I have to import Word files in InDesign many times and the text looks black but it's not. I try to select the whole paragraph and change it to black but the underlines remain RGB! So I have to select each one to change it to TEXT COLOR. Why can't it be text color by default...or be selected with the whole paragraph and be changed together with the text??

Table Cell styles with row height. Also allow complex table styles by row and column.
Ever since I've started using table and cell styles, I've been surprised that it's so limited in what you can do with it not least being unable to set minimum row heights in tables. Many other requested features are missing including alternative row and column styles, minimum column width, etc. I'd just like to have more flexibility in how I use table styles.
I see this has been a requested feature for years which is why I'm creating a new post in case it gets ignored again! Why haven't you implemented some of these features instead of focusing purely on…

Replace the startup panel
PLease replace the awful startup panel that looks like someone had a mental breakdown, spilling derangement over the screen in gaudy black and violet.. unbelievable that anyone could imagine this would be attractive. Luckily I mostly don't see it as my computer opens before I arrive, but every time I do I feel I want to immediately quit the program.. and send a report to you.

Rename "Parent Pages" to something less offensive. A lot of children don't have parents and some people don't have the ability to be parents
To reflect the core Adobe values of inclusivity you should replace non-inclusive language from InDesign 2022 onwards.
I think Adobe should continue to change their products based on inclusivity at the cost of functionality and common sense. I'm looking forward to what new name you come up.
If you don't change the name then I'm very confused because this new name 'Parent' is not inclusive at all.

Image inside workspace moves while corners of the window are dragged. Please provide option to keep contents within window from moving.
Create an option to keep screen image from shifting within the workspace window when the corners of the window are dragged, so that when one resizes the window, the contents stays still. That way, the user won't have to use the hand tool to get back to what they were looking at on the page before they dragged a corner of the screen.

Need to add a Haitian Creole dictionary to InDesign
Hello all;
At HistoryMiami Museum, we produce a lot of material in the three most spoken languages in our community, English, Spanish and Haitian Creole, following the Miami-Dade County government best practices. InDesign has already incorporated dictionaries in English and Spanish. We are looking for a comprehensive Haitian Creole dictionary to add to InDesign, for spellcheck purposes. We would appreciate any help with this matter. Thank you.

How to Win Geometry Dash Lite
Winning in Geometry Dash Lite requires more than quick reflexes—it’s all about rhythm, timing, and persistence. Every level is designed to test your reaction speed and ability to stay calm under pressure. Here’s how you can master it.
Learn the rhythm: Each obstacle follows the beat of the background music. Listening closely helps you anticipate jumps and spikes instead of reacting too late.
Practice in training mode: Use practice mode to memorize tricky sections. Don’t rush—focus on getting the rhythm right before attempting the full level.
Tap lightly and consistently: Over-tapping can ruin your timing. Keep your taps short…

Incorporate a feature in the view dropdown that lists all the languages used within a document
I work with documents from an international company and even though the document looks like English it can use several different languages. I need to identify those languages and change them to English USA. A dropdown option that lists all the languages used within the same document would be incredibly helpful. As of now I have to use the find / replace tool to guess what languages may be used and replace them. Sometimes it can be upwards of five different languages.

Add 'Apply to All' function when relinking multiple identical image files through the links panel.
Add 'Apply to All' function when relinking multiple identical image files through the links panel - ie when swapping a PNG with an EPS or completely new image with a different files name. When relinking multiple identical images through the links panel, user is required to relink every single image separately one after another. Adding and 'Apply to All' function would speed up this process when looking to update 50 images as once.

Option to color tag indesign documents
I would love to have an option of colour tagging InDesign documents on the Home screen, making it easier to find and discern similar looking front pages or document names. This is helpful when managing various manuals.
Even more so when is is supported by a filter (like Acrobat comments).1 vote -
Remove or Disable Share Button
I need to have the option to Disable or Remove the Share Button. It is constantly running in the background and slows down InDesign significantly. I work in an office where I will never share a document in InDesign and I'm sure there are a lot of people who are in the same situation.
This has slowed down my work and the other managers are not happy. We are looking at switching to Affinity.

artificial intelligence for text
Wouldn't it be a nice idea to have InDesign apply some artificial intelligence for looking at the text? Like what ChatGPT can do, but then integrated into InDesign. Checking the complexity, readability, Colorcontrast, tone-of-voice etc of your text. Would love to see that. Or suggestions on how to solve readability-issues for accessible PDF! Yeah!

Incremental measurement entries in Character Stylesheets
Would be great to have a way of adding incremental values to properties in a character style.
In other words instead of setting a character style that has +20 tracking and is 9pt on 12pt leading, you would be able to set it so it is ++20 tracking (whatever the paragraph tracking is plus 20) and --1pt size (whatever the paragraph font size is minus 1pt) on --2pt leading (whatever the paragraph leading is minus 1pt) .
Percentages would also be great and even better if we can reference other properties (ie leading is 130% of font size).
Usage cases:…

Import images linked locally to creative cloud library from within any CC app
Currently if I want to use a new asset that I've downloaded or saved to desktop the process looks like this:
- Navigate to CC desktop app
- Navigate to existing CC library or create a new one
- Drag and drop assets from desktop into library
- Go to InDesign (or whichever app)
- Navigate to appropriate library
- Drag asset from library to working document
What I'd like is:
- Place item from desktop in document
- Select the asset in the Links panel
- Click "import to current library"
- Asset is imported directly to the library and the link is automatically updated to the library…

Measure Space Between Objects & Margins With a Toggle Key
I'd love to see some of the same measurement tools that have made their way into Adobe XD and Photoshop work in InDesign.
Being able to quickly see the space between objects and margins is great in these tools and I think it would be helpful in InDesign as well.
I know the gap tool has some of this functionality, but I'm specifically looking to recreate the toggle function like holding alt/opt in Adobe XD. Perhaps the gap tool could be modified to have a toggle function to display the measurements in a similar way.

After placing a .ai file into a rectangle frame, resizing rectangle frame would resize Artboard in Illustrator
This should definitely not be default behaviour, but e.g. a checkbox under "show import options" asking to "link artboard size to text frame size, when placing a .ai file, would be nice.
When opening the fiel in illustrator, a warning dialog coudl appear asking "frame size has been changed in indesign, do you want to change artboard size accordingly?"
I repeatedly work with layouts and .ai graphics, that need to first be drafted, then layout changed, and after this the graphics slightly refitted to new sizes. Its a bit tedious looking up correct widths and heights for artboards from…

Open more than one document per session (in Open > Recent)
I copydesk book files using InCopy. The book comes to me in chapters, 1 file per chapter, each in a separate subfolder. I work on each book/chapters for several weeks, so I have to close/open them several times a week (and turn off my computer every day, of course). I know there must be a way to merge these documents into a book or something like that, but that's not the point here (I have to accept this workflow and manage it as best I can). Also, I'm not talking here about file tabs, of course (I open several documents…
