Hi, I am using indesign CC 2018. When formatting text as a numbered list, the number is not displayed until I start typing.
When I hit enter on the numbered text box, I want to see the number I'm about to start entering information for. If I don't see the number, my brain can't move forward onto the next idea.

Pasting Chinese text from illustrator to Indesign changes the content of the text. Help!
I have text in Illustrator that are in Chinese, using 苹方-简 typeface. When I copy and paste the same text into Indesign, the text changes into new characters.
I know you need to expand the characters to use as vectors, but sometimes we need to change the text and go back and forth before finalizing. The question is why does it not do that for english text? I copy and paste between illustrator and indesign all the time, but this is the first time I've come across changing the text content completely.
Running CC 2019 for all.

Spellcheck not working
The Spellcheck tool does not work as of version 14.0.1
The spellcheck window pops open but "spellcheck complete"message appears. Clicking "start" does nothing. This happens in all documents. All the settings and user dictionary seem correct.I tried selecting all the options in the "search" dropdown menu but nothing works. Spellcheck simply won't start.
9 votesThe issue has been fixed in both the latest release of InDesign – InDesign 2021 & the previous version of InDesign – InDesign 2020 (15.1.2).
Please update to either of these versions of InDesign to get the fix.—

text bold italic regular
Cannot easily change text with bold italics and bold regular to non-bold italics and non-bold regular.
- On Windows 7, InDesign 14.0.1 x64:
- In a normal text window, type "regular" in non-bold regular Times New Roman font.
- Then type "italics" in non-bold italic Times New Roman Font.
- Select the entire "regularitalics" phrase.
- Click Ctrl-B. The entire phrase correctly becomes bold.
- Click Ctrl-B again. Expected behavior: The entire phrase should revert back to regular. Actual behavior: Only "italics" reverts back to regular. The "regular" remains bold.

Bug Copy&past onto Indesign CC 2019
The copy-paste function from another software (Adobe acrobat, word, pages, etc.) to Indesign CC 2019 14.0.1 does not work under mac os 10.12.6. This works very well on the Indesign cc 2018 version.

Text Wrap on image container is applied to image bounds
When applying text wrap to an image container, indesign (v14.0.1 macOS) now applies the text wrap to the image inside the container - rather frustrating if you are cropping in on part of an image with the image from.
Steps to Reproduce - Place image inside container frame making sure that the image is scaled larger than the frame (cropped by frame). Place image container over text and apply text wrap.
Expected Result - text wrap applied to container should be based on container dimensions.
Actual result - text wrap applied to image inside the container making the text wrap…

Bad optical kerning for superscript "4"
When a superscript "4" follows a closing smart quotation mark, optical kerning is set to -60 or -70 depending on font. This is too close (basically a crash).
This is annoying for books with lots of endnotes, where superscript numbers usually follow quotation marks.

create outlines
- cmd + A = select all objects on the page.
- menu / type / Create Outlines
Error. Not all text-based texts on the page have been converted into curves. Consequence. Time to search for other items and individual conversion. Waste of time and the risk of file defects for the printing process.
Best regards!

Cannot save cross-reference format with delimiter set to "false"
When creating a cross-reference format to control the appearance of a cross reference, using the <fullPara delim="" includeDelim="false"/> format refuses to save the includeDelim="false" component in the format. It will save a value of "true" but after entering false and choosing save, upon editing the reference format, the includeDelim="false" property is gone.

Creating New Hyperlink - doesn’t copy the full selected URL
InDesign CC 13.1
Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6I discovered this lately due to client complaining about URLs not working after export to PDF.
As per my video, I select the full URL in the text box, select New Hyperlink, and the field doesn’t populate with full URL.
After some testing, the cut off point seems to be random and don’t happen specifically at hyphens or periods.Whether the URL flows to multiple lines or is on the same line, I get the same result.
What is causing this? This is a big issue since I work on documents that…
2 votesThere is a max limit of 100 characters in the URL field of the Hyperlink dialog.
Workaround: User can copy the URL to the Clipboard and paste it into the URL field when creating a Hyperlink.—

find font
Find Font isn't working for certain fonts. See the attached gif. I'm trying to change a passage of text set it Calibri (which I don't have installed) but when I open Find Font, Calibri isn't listed there so I'm unable to swap it out

Stroke Drawing Order not working
InDesign 2019 on MacOS 10.13.6
Steps to reproduce
Define table stroke using the proxy in the Control panel (see screenshot) and try to change the Stroke Drawing Order.Expected result
Stroke Drawing Order "Row Strokes In Front" should be as selected in "Table Options"Actual result
Row Strokes are not in front. All strokes which are altered using the control panel options remain unchanged.
If a new table is setup using only the menu options (Cell Options > Strokes And Fills) everything works fine.8 votesIn the Table Setup dialog, do the following:
In the Row Strokes section (2nd tab), choose Alternating Pattern : Every Other Row and then make the First 1 Rows and Next 1 Rows the exact same settings.
In the Column Strokes section (3rd tab), choose Alternating Pattern: Every Other Column and then make the First 1 Columns and Next 1 Columns the exact same settings.
In the Table Setup section (1st tab), you can set the Table Border as 0mm and Stroke Drawing Order as ‘Row Strokes in Front’.
Most probably this should help you get the results you are after. Try this out and let us know if it helps.

overriding styles
Apply a style to some text.
Make some change to this paragraph which changes the layout of the paragraph in some way. For example apply a first line indent different from the one in the original definition.
Now remove the override (I always do this from the paragraph styles panel).
The override is indeed removed, but the paragraph doesn't redraw, and it's unreadable until I page up/ page down, which forces the redraw. This certainly isn't the end of the world, but it would all run a lot faster if this didn't happen. :)

Table Resizing
I love the table feature in inDesign, however there is one behavior that I wish was different. When I go to resize a row or column it pushes all the rows/columns down rather than adjusting the space according to the size of the table box. I have found many times that I would prefer setting the overall table size and then it doesn't go beyond that.

Edit and Copy text box, delete another box, copied box is lost
MacBook Pro (2018, 13-inch, 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i5), with High Sierra (10.13.6), and InDesign (14.0.1).
I have two text boxes - Box1 and Box2 - with text in them.
I edit the text in Box1, copy Box1 (not the contents; the text box itself).
I delete Box2 by pressing the Backspace key while Box2 is selected.
I paste, and get Box2.
Expected functionality: The box I specifically copied - Box1 - should be resident in the clipboard. Not Box2.
Deleting an item should NOT copy it to the clipboard and overwrite the previous clipboard contents.

Invisible character
Apply all Auto Edits inserts an invisible character before which then interferes with Find and Replace. When pasted into a GREP search, it looks like ~I, but can't be found. It can be manually removed, but this is not helpful, as I need to be able to perform a comprehensive Find/Replace.
