1. Illogical interface to control the strokes of a table's cells

   Hi there,

   I find the interface to adjust the strokes of a table's cell utterly confusing and frustrating to use. For instance, I want to adjust the top horizontal border between two rows. If I click on the top bar in your interface (see diagram), select a weight and colour, InDesign changes the stroke of the cell's vertical bars?!

   If I select the bottom bar in the diagram, it still changes the vertical bars.

   If I attempt to guess the reasoning of how the interface works, I then chose to select the vertical bars in the interface, InDesign still changes the vertical bars. I can't win.

   The way I would expect this to work, is that if I select a border's line on the interface, when I click OK, those selected borders will be the only borders affected. I, therefore, can't understand what the purpose of the little grid in the top of the interface is. No matter which border's line I click, InDesign goes off and does its own thing, making it impossible to stylise the borders between the cells other than by pure luck.

   I also don't understand what the centre vertical line is for, to me, it has no purpose. I can't seem to find documentation that adequately explains how to use this interface.

   Can the UI be adjusted as I have described so that it is predictable in its effect? I appreciate that I may be confused and it all makes sense to someone, but it is so counter-intuitive that I've given trying to use/understand it. Surely a different technique/UI could be employed? It is easier to draw a table in PowerPoint, take a screenshot and then pace that into the document, which is very disappointing.

   Kind regards
   Mike Howell

2. New frame created when pasting text in InDesign

   Pasting single or multiple words into a table creates a brand new frame which floats on top of the existing one. This bug affects text copied from another section of the InDesign document as well as many text elements (single words or sentences) copied from MSWord.

3. Outline font in circle

   When a combination of superscript and normal sized font is used in a circle then fonts are outlined, the text jumps up to the positioning of the superscript within the circle instead of staying centred. This issue has not occurred before in previous versions of InDesign.

4. General font selection in bold!

   I have a question. I work a lot with questions and answers.

   I ask if it is possible to put all my 'questions' in bold without me selecting one at a time. Is it possible to make a general selection of all? (I tried using the CTRL + F method), but it doesn't work, there are different questions and different names.)

   Thanks in advance! Hugs from Brazil ma' friends!

6. [ CC-2019 and 2020 ] The Convert-Endnotes-To-Footnotes Disaster SCOPE: SELECTION

   Hi together,
   I'm using the menu dialog, not the context menu, for converting endnotes to footnotes. Scope: Selection

   The result is not as expected.

   3 out of 7 endnotes were not converted to footnotes.
   1 additionally was converted, but the corresponding endnote was not removed.

   Trying again with a different selection of the remaining endnote texts:
   Now the first endnote could be converted, I assume because I selected all the endnote text. However the remaining endnotes couldn't be converted.

   All the details can be found at the Adobe InDesign Forum:

   I am showing all this in more detail at the Adobe InDesign Forum and at InDesign Prerelease as well. Together with a link to my test documents.

7. [ CC-2019 and 2020 ] The Convert-Endnotes-To-Footnotes Disaster SCOPE: DOCUMENT

   Hi together,
   I'm using the menu dialog, not the context menu, for converting endnotes to footnotes. Scope: Document

   The result is not as expected.

   There are 7 endnotes in my document. Only 5 were detected by the conversion and only 3 of that 5 were actually converted. In one of the not detected endnotes the text has changed after the conversion. Some separator characters were added.

   I am showing all this in more detail at the Adobe InDesign Forum and at InDesign Prerelease as well. Together with a link to my test documents.

8. Bad interact: Keep Lines Together & Start Paragraph in Next Frame, not working at Threaded Auto-Size (height) Text Frames

   Working on InDesign CC2018 in Windows7.
   When having threaded two (or more) auto-sizing (height only) text frames, and typing in the first of them, at the end of first line the cursor jumps to the next frame. No auto-size, no keeping lines of the paragraph together.

9. Copy & paste from 2020 to 2018 doesn't work

   Made a table in 2018, saved the INDD, then open in 2020, changed only text in the table, now want to copy & paste back to 2018 file -> not possible. It's exactly the same table. When pasting to pasteboard, the table rows look the same, only the style color has changed.

12. Text options greyed out when I select more than one box that are linked.

    Text options greyed out when I select more than one box that are linked using selection tool. For example I want to select 3 linked text boxes and change the text colour. The [T] button in the colours panel is greyed out. So is font, etc. Means that I have go into each box and select the text requires extra click. Did not use to be this way in CC2019. Please fix.

13. paragraph collapsed into single line

    CC2020 InDesign, multi document book, paragraph styles that force all text to the baseline grid, with space between paragraphs. Instead, occasionally and unpredictably, paragraphs will collapse so that all lines are laid on top of one another. Leading is not zero.

    Solutions have been:
    - Hard return, then delete the return
    - add a single line after or before the paragraph to take the place of space-after
    - move the text-wrapped image near the paragraph up or down.

    None of these solutions work all the time, and sometimes none work.

    WTF.

14. spelling e.g

    1. InDesign 15.0.1 x64 (for Windows 10)
    2. Check spelling in document. When InDesign comes to the term "e.g." it highlights "e.g" as misspelled. The dictionary includes "e.g." as one of the suggested corrections. If I select that option and use "change," InDesign will correct the term to "e.g.." and then will immediately rehighlight "e.g" as a misspelling.
    3. Since it already includes e.g. as an option within the dictionary, it should not flag that as a misspelling.
    4. InDesign does not include the final period as part of the term, and so it consistently flags that term as misspelled.
    5. I have attached an image.

15. Cursor should return to starting location after find/change

    1. InDesign 15.0.1 x64 (Windows 10)
    2. I have a document with about 20 pages full of text. As I am reading through the text, I notice an error that I need to fix (such as a misspelled name, for example). I activate the the find/change dialog box and run a search and replace to change all of the misspelled names to the correct spelling. When I am finished, I click done in the Find/Change window.
    3. I may be misremembering, but it seems to me that in past versions of InDesign, when I clicked "Done" my cursor would jump back to the location where it had been when I started the find/change search.
    4. Now, when I choose the "Done" button, the cursor remains at the location of my last correction.

    As I said, I believe that the cursor returning to the original location used to be the default InDesign functionality. However, I might be misremembering. If I am, then please consider this a feedback request, not a bug.

19. Dynamic Spelling not working with Case Sensitive words

    InDesign version 2020 15.0.1

    We researched how to use Dynamic Spelling to pick up words that should have Title Case, but are lowercase in the document, followed their steps and the result doesn't work.
    The words we added in the dictionary with Capital letters, don't get highlighted with dynamic spelling.
    Also when we add our own dictionary, InDesign defaults back to User Dictionary.

20. Automatic insertion of columns upon text alteration, always in the same spot on the page; this occurs irrespective of style (paragraph, char

    Posted that this was happening last update: this column "Layout" occurs no matter what style (paragraph or character) is selected, and the column layout affects all text placed over the area where the automatic "columns" occurs, in other words, anything adjusted or placed over the area (positioned always two columns at approx 4" down the page).
    What seems to trigger the insertion of this four-line column layout is any text alteration - it gets inserted on random pages!
    I have checked all "unseen" screens, object styles, text box controls, preferences. I am completely flummoxed (user of Adobe InDesign over 25 years and PageMaker before that - NOT a novice...)
