1. grep query doesn't work to delete multiple page breaks

   Hi,
   I wanted to delete all page breaks (manual, odd, even) in an InDesign document with Grep:

   Find: [~P~L~E]+
   Replace: \r

   This query doesn't work, it finds nothing.
   If I use one by one it's prefect. What' wrong?

   (Attached test-file)

   Best regards,

   Egyed Serf

   Can't get a drop down of all my fonts in Find Font- Replaced with Font Family.

3. Hanging Indent plus Left Justify makes words float out of text frame

   I often use bulleted lists with the commmand/backslash (hanging indent) tool. If the text is aligned left, no problem. But when I use left justify, it sends some of the words off to the right — outside of the text frame! Please see examples below.

   The text samples here were using Adobe Paragraph Composer. But when I switched it to World-Ready it fixed it!

   I've been having this problem for a while. Before I updated to InDesign 2018 and after the update as well. I'm running El Capitan 10.11.6 on a Mid 2011 iMac.

   Solved in this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2462045

4. Font Weight Not Changing

   In the Character panel often it is not possible to change a font weight from Regular to Bold for example. I have to go in the font menu and select the font specifically.

   Also, in the character panel the menu to change weights does not change anymore when I select a different font. For example: Metropilis Black becomes Calibri Black (which does not exist).

   Clearing caches and trashing preferences does not help.

   Happens on different machines, Mac Pro at home and different iMacs at work / CC 2018 InDesign 13.01

5. Germandbls in all caps with Adobe Composer

   This is to report that the "World-Ready Composers" and the regular "Composers" do not behave in sync concerning the Germandbls (upper case German sharp s) in all caps. More precise: The "World-Ready Composers" do it right, while the regular "Composers" do it wrong:
   Using the latter and applying all caps, the germandbls is generally substituted by SS, which shouldn't be. Modern fonts leave the decision to the typographer whether a Germandbls or SS is applied. In any case the first choice should be the Germandbls.

6. Table header is missing after copy/paste

   When I copy/paste a table, the header line is missing. My workaround is to change the height of the next line, then the header line appears. Then I change the height back to the actual height.

7. Font appearance issues in Id 2018

   I have recently purchase a new Mac. Running High Sierra 10.13.2 and Id 2018. Any time I open a file with Helvetica in it the font is garbled. Is this one of the issues that people have been experiencing with the upgrade to High Sierra? How can this be fixed?

   I can't downgrade my operating system as the computer is brand new and I need to use this computer for work. Any help would be much appreciated.

9. Texte disappear when replacing font by another using Find a font in the Texte menu

   Using the command "Search for a font" in the "Text Menu" to replace a font (Times New Roman for example) by another (Adobe Garamond Pro for example), the texte disappear, it is erased if I valid "Replace All".
   I have to verify it works for the first occurrences before to validate "Replace All" to be sure the bug will not occur.
   This is very insecure if we don't verify and trust the command "eyes closed" !

11. arabic

    Cursor Direction when typing Arabic or other RTL languages. in Middle Eastern version ONLY.

    2. Type Arabic text. Place the cursor within text. Hold "Shift" key and click on right arrow key on the keyboard to select/highlight text. Cursor moves left and select next character on the left while clicking on right arrow.

    3. To select a character to the left of the cursor, we should hold (Shift+left arrow) To select a character to the right of the cursor, we should hold (Shift+right arrow)

    4. What actually is happening now and for over 20 years when we had Adobe PageMaker ME and Adobe Illustrator ME is the opposite cursor behavior to the what we're trying to select. We hold (Shift+right arrow) cursor will move and select text to the left, we hold (Shift+left arrow) cursor will move and select text to the right.

12. middle east defaults

    Controlling defaults for ME options - doesn't work for cut/paste?

    I'm using the ME edition of InDesign 2018. The majority of my work is exclusively left-to-right, so I've set all default options to those appropriate to English (UK) text. This works fine when I'm creating a text box with the text tool, but when I cut/paste text without having a cursor in a pre-existing text box, the automatically-created new text box always has "right-to-left text direction" selected in its Story options. Is there any way I can change this default?

13. Find Glyph uses character style set in the Text tab

    It's not possible to set a character style in the Glyph tab of the Find/Change window. But if you set a character style in the Text tab, the Glyph tab uses that style to limit the search scope.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Start a new document, add a character style. (Doesn't matter what formatting you add to the character style.)
    2. Place a text frame and enter 'xx'.
    3. Apply the character style you added in step 1 to the first x.
    4. Set the character style in the Find Format field of the Text tab of the Find/Change window.
    5. Go to the Glyph tab, set it to search x in the applied font.

    Actual result: InDesign finds only the character to which the character style was applied.

    Expected result: that InDesign finds all characters x.

    (This is either a bug or an undocumented feature)

    Need More Info  ·  amaarora responded

    Hi,
    In step 4, are you setting the find format field to be the character style you have created in step step 1?
    If yes, then InDesign will only find those “x” which have the character style same as in the find format field (=character style created in step 1 and applied to only first x)

    Please can you elaborate a little more on the steps.

15. cannot place XLSX table

    I'm unable to place an Excel file/table. When I choose Place...select any Excel file (.xls or .xlsx) and check "Import Options":
    - Options dialog appears, but no fields are selectable, except decimal places.
    - Click OK, and I get nothing. No error message, and no content.

    If I place a file WITHOUT options, I get the content of the Excel NOT as a table, but as tab-delimited text. This is not acceptable, as the integrity of the table is lost when I "convert text to table." Where there are (supposed to be) empty cells, data from other cells appears where a cell should be empty.

17. Table with Alternating Row Stroke

    When using a table with alternating row strokes, the stroke between the first and second rows is always 1pt, not matter what the cell or table style is set to.

    In this example, every other row of the body should be stroked at .5pt. Everything works except the first row, which is 1pt.

19. Auto-sizing text frames not working

    When I try to auto-size a text box in "Text Frame Options," nothing happens. I generally click on the text box, open the text frame options panel with command-B and click on the auto-size tab. Once inside that panel, I attempt to auto-size. Nothing is grayed out so it appears as if it would work, but when I click on "width only" (or any other option), nothing happens and it just stays on the original selection. And I can't seem to find a work around either.
