I keep encountering the same glitch in multiple documents where an edit to the text on one page forces a blank page (although running head and page number remain) on the following page, with the text re-flowing as expected on the page after that. For example, deleting an unwanted space is a frequent cause of this glitch. So far I've found 2 ways of making the text return to it's correct position and removing the blank:

1) place my cursor at the very end of the page before the unwanted blank and enter a space - this brings the text back onto the blank but doesn't actually add a space.
2) make a minor adjustment to the tracking/kerning of a single character on the page before the unwanted blank.

Linked to this, occasionally some of my footnotes have disappeared as well - to get them back I have to adjust the size of the text box slightly and then restore it to its original size.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Justify vertically text frame is not correct every time particularly in more than 2 columns text frame. Tried all options and found some time there are space in bottom of last line as in attached file.

Reproduced in the same in 2 or more columns text frames. This happens in:

1. If used heading span 2 or more or spall all.




2. Placed any text wrap graphics,




3. Used with or without "Skip by leading"

All the instances are same results, in some cases the space are more than the attached file, particularly if used "span all" for heading and place any "text wrapped" object

I'm using Indesign 14.0.3 in windows 7 environement.

When working in InDesign v 14.0.3 x64 on my PC, I've encountered a new problem when trying to align text in a bulleted list using the "tab" key.

After keying in the text in my list, I create alignment by first inserting tabs using the Type > Tabs command, and then using the "Tab" key on my keyboard to align second and third lines of text. Lately, when I move my cursor down to the second line of text and attempt to use the tab key to align the text with the tab I set in the line above, InDesign inserts the numeral "1" on the line (see attached screenshot, where I've marked the numeral with a red circle).

No matter what I try, I cannot get it to stop inserting the numeral 1 in the line. I've even tried re-setting the tab, to no avail. I've saved the file, closed all applications, re-started my computer and attempted to update InDesign via Creative Cloud, but nothing solves the problem.

The only option I have to align items in my bulleted list is to insert a soft break (Shift + Enter) and use the space bar to move the line of copy to the right incrementally. Unfortunately, this does not offer perfect alignment.

Can you please help?

A text box is dynamically linked [place and link] from a master document to a child document. When the text is changed in the master document, the linked box in the child detects that it has been changed, and prompts user to update the placed box with a missing/updated link warning and an ! icon on the linked box. This is the expected behavior, and this works properly on Windows version of Indesign.

This function is not working on the Mac version of Indesign. Changes to the master are not being detected by the linked copy in the child. The child sees only the first instance of the text box that was placed. It is flagged as being linked, but no changes are detected - the 'dynamic' portion of this link is not functioning.

In my screenshot, the link icon on this text should be flagged as requiring an update. The text in this box is old. On Windows when I open this document I am notified of a pending change. On Mac it is only a link with no updates noticed.

Edit: Note: when we open the child from a local location (desktop) the updates from master on network are recognized. This is not a solution however, as a user opening a child on the network will not know that change has occurred on the master. They will not know to pull the child locally first, as working locally is not the standard practice of our many users.

I'm working on a major project using the Lao language and InDesign. The Lao text is not flowing correctly in InDesign. There are addons that provide these features (LaoScript), but there isn't native InDesign support, from what I can tell.

Lao text does not seem to properly word wrap. Many professionals use zero-width-spaces in Lao to create invisible 'spaces' between words so that applications properly word wrap. However, this has significant drawbacks and makes it harder for Lao people to use and edit their language because editing text with invisible characters is difficult (especially on mobile, but PCs as well).

As one of the members of the team who helped bring Lao support to ICU (International Components for Unicode), I know that there is support for Lao that doesn't require much work, assuming you all are already using ICU to process text in InDesign. Adobe is listed on ICU's project page as a major user of this library.

So... I would like to request this feature be turned on to properly support Lao text wrapping and word tokenization with non-zero-width-space delimited phrases in Lao.

Here's an excerpt from the Lao Bible:

ເມື່ອພຣະເຈົ້າຊົງເລີ້ມຕົ້ນ (5 words, no spaces, no ZWSPs)

ເມື່ອ ພຣະເຈົ້າ ຊົງ ເລີ້ມ ຕົ້ນ (same 5 words separated by spaces)

I know that there are organizations who swear by ZWSPs (and for good reasons), and do not prefer automatic Lao word tokenization. It might be nice to also provide a mechanism to manually disable this feature for text/frames/documents, assuming the user wants greater control of line breaking in Lao (Thai or Khmer too). But, otherwise, out-of-the-box, have the feature on so that it lowers the barrier of entry for Lao people wishing to use InDesign.

Chrome and LibreOffice are two applications that already support Lao word tokenization out of the box, and more text is available at https://laobible.sea-sda.org if you need some tools/text to test against.

Thanks!

I've defined a text variable that I use for a running header. This variable is defined from the first use of a "chapter title" paragraph style that I've also defined. I've inserted this variable on my A-master page, which is synced between documents in my book. The problem I'm running into is that I've used a number of glyphs in the text comprising the first use of that style, and the text variable (my running header) looks garbled: it's missing letters and has mixed caps. If it matters, the font I'm using is Orpheus Pro Bold.

Attached are two screenshots: the first page where the header is defined (as chapter title), and subsequent pages where you'll see the garbled header at the top right.

short:
Tables, vertical lines white (in front), horizontal lines in black (in the back)
after undefined cause: horiziontal in front, vertical in the back.
Workaround: click (in top menue) on the white color again (for the vertical lines)

describe:
There is some serious complications with vertical table lines! I want to have the vertical lines cut out of the horizontal ones. This is easy, with doing white vertical table-lines. Works perfekt. But sometimes, not always to reproduce, there is a trouble, where the white lines, hide behind the black herizontal ones after copy&paste or changes in the layout. There is not really a special case where it always happen, it just happen unexpecting. The quick solution ist to mark the table, only pick the vertical line in the top menue, click on the line-color icon (where already white is choosen) and choose white again. Normaly, nothing should change, but then all things are correct again. Seems definitly like a bug.
Can you please take a look on this behavior?
