  1. Text Frame Otpion

    Text hops around in text box from top to bottom when moving text frame. I have seen a lot people online having the same issue. Only work around, and it's just that a work around not a fix, every time you place text you have to go to Object>Text Frame Options>Baseline Option and click "Use Custom Baseline Grid". Doing this every single time I place text is getting rather tedious. Just encountered bug today, restarted both indesign and imac, the bug stayed. About to re-install indesign all together.

  2. Shortcuts messed up after update to CC

    InDesign CC 12.1.0.56 (2017.1)
    MacOS Sierra 10.12.5

    (1) The default super- and subscript shortcuts (cmd+shift+= and ctrl+cmd+shift+=) do not work on mac num keyboard. Had to change shortcuts.
    (2) When using the default shortcut for italics (cmd+shift+I) the text is changed to "Heavy Italic" instead of "Italic" with the (legal) Avenir Next font family.

  3. Text wrap should work normally with anchored objects

    Just make text wrap on an anchored object work exactly as it does when you have a seperate object. Not sure what the point is of having it ignore the text wrap for objects above the line it's anchored to. I can always tell it to ignore if that's what I want.

  4. Select multiple cells in a table that are not next to each other.

    Good morning,

    When we creating a table in Indesign, it is impossible to select several cells at the same time, if they are not side by side.
    There is no shortcut yet that allows you to do this.
    This would save a lot of time, being able to change the background color, or font, of several selected cells.
    For the moment, we have to take the cells one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one... Not really fast...!

    Thanks in advance for future updates! :-)

  5. Incorrect ligatures in InDesign 2024

    In Indesign 19.0.1, ligatures are replaced incorrectly in German. Comparing these with the same document in 18.5.1, where they appear correct, this appears to be a bug in the new version. One screenshot is from INDD 2023 and the other from INDD 2024.

  6. Indesign v19 (2024) changes line breaks of paragraphs in documents created in v18.5 (2023)

    I wanted to export a finished document (a book) made with Indesign Version 18.5 (2023) after updating to Version 19 (2024). After exporting I noticed that the word-wrapping was ruined and images on wrong pages because at some points in the document the line breaks were different and it made the paragraph a line longer than before and thus ruining the following textwrap.

    If I open the document with the old indesign version, everything is fine. I compared the preferences and everything is identical. In both cases the paragraphs use the single-line-composer and the justification is not changed either.

    Is…

  10. Paste without formatting option disappeared, CTRL+Shift+V not working

    There was previously an option to Paste with Formatting and Paste Without Formatting, and after recent updates, the options have disappeared and paste functioning is working incorrectly. I used both of these functions for various reasons, and would greatly appreciate it coming back! I could use CTRL+Shift+V to paste without formatting, or, if I clicked into a text box and right clicked, there were for options: Cut | Copy | Paste | Paste Without Formatting. Now, only the first three appear as options and I've lost the fourth function. There are times when I WANT to paste with formatting, though…

  12. Column Rules will NOT overprint when option [x] Overprint is checked and color is NOT [Black]

    Use a swatch like CMYK 0,0,0,100 or CMYK 0,0,0,90 or CMYK 100,0,0,0 for a column rule and turn on overprint.

    Overprint attribute will not applied to the column rules.

    Tested with InDesign 17.1.0.50 on Windows 10.

    For more details see into this discussion at the InDesign User Forum:

    One is showing Separation Preview with all inks, the other one Separation Preview without Cyan; and this one is showing that CMYK 100,0,0,0 does NOT overprint the yellow background.

  13. 2021 variable font repeatedly unavailable causing InDesign to freeze

    In InDesign (version 17.0.1), I am using Acumin Variable, which initially shows up with no issues. However, InDesign begins freezing and minutes later, a pop up notification says the variable font is unavailable. This has been on-going and other designers I collaborate with are experiencing the same problem with this font.

  16. auto page numbering does not work with auto-size text box

    The auto-sizing text box should resize depending on number and not the 'marker character'
    I'm pretty sure it used to work that way.

  17. Endnotes content shuffled by ICML import

    InDesign/InCopy versions 14, 15, & 16

    The position of user-entered "extra" content in an endnote story is currently lost when endnotes are replaced during an update of the associated story.

    Adobe's help documentation says (from the "Work with endnote text" section of https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/endnotes.html )

    "Endnotes in the endnote frame are indicated with Endnote Markers. Text, such as heading, can be typed in the endnote frame outside these markers. This extra content does not belong to any endnote."

    This suggests that user content in an endnotes story is allowed and supported.

    However, extra content moves around during an update. An attached…

  20. 行スタイルのバグ?

    -環境-
    InDesign 2020(バージョン問わず発生)
    MacOS X Mojave 10.14.6
    MacPro6,1

    カレンダーの作成時に行スタイルを使って、日曜日を赤色にする文字スタイルを設定しています。1[強制改行] 2[強制改行]…のようにテキストを作成し、行スタイルで…

    [なし] 対象6行
    赤文字 対象1行
    [繰り返し]対象2行

    と日曜日を自動的に赤色の文字スタイルを適応させます。

    その後、手動で祝日に文字スタイルを適応する際に「繰り返しをまたいで文字スタイルを2つ適応すると、2つ目が適切に適応できません」。

    例えば2月のカレンダーを作成する際に、11日と24日が祝日なので赤色にする文字スタイルを設定します。11日の文字スタイルは問題ありませんが、24日に文字スタイルを適応させると23日にも赤色の文字スタイルが適応されます。
    そして23日は文字スタイル「なし」を適応させても赤文字のスタイルが解除されません。

    テキストをコピー・アンド・ペーストすると元に戻りますが、保存して再度開くと同じ現象が発生する事があります。
    設定ミスなのか、バグかハッキリしなかったので投稿しました。ニッチな事案ですが皆様のご意見をぜひお願いします。
