   Strange behavior. I recently switched between preview and normal mode and InDesign showed me an older version of the document.

2. BUG with master text frames, master pages and "allow pages to shuffle"

   Hello,

   Latest Indesign CC on Windows 10 64bits.

   I have a document, with a master page template applied to all pages in the document. There are master text frames inside the master page template, perfectly aligned with the margins on each left, and right page. In my master page template, I have set up the following margins for left pages :

   top : 46pt
   bottom : 46pt
   outside : 56pt
   inside : 46pt

   And the right pages margins set up as follow :

   top : 46pt
   bottom : 46pt
   outside : 46pt
   inside : 46pt

   On the left pages, I have a solid holding the current category / section, so I have set a larger outside margin.

   Everything looks good and aligned (text boxes are controled by master pages master text frames) until I delete one page for example, which makes every following right page, a left page, and every left page, a right page.

   From this point, in my pages, all text boxes are misaligned to the margins set in the master page template. That is to say that from now on, left pages have text boxes which are the size of right pages text boxes, and right pages text boxes have the size of left pages text boxes.

   To fix it, I have to select all my pages, and reapply my master page template to update the text boxes to match the master page's master text frames.

   Then, the text frames are finally properly aligned to the margins set in the master page template.

   I don't think this is how it should behave. Master text frames should always be synchronized to the master page templates and should not have to be reapplied manually...

   I might be using this wrong but I can't figure out an auto fix, and this gets really annoying when you have to fine tune your document, remove some elements, which can makes me delete some pages, which causes this issue.

   Any fix ? What about a option to make indesign aware when right pages become left pages, and left pages become right pages, and reapply automatically the master page template to adapt to those changes ?

   Am I alone with this issue ?

   Thank you

   There is a discrepancy with the unit of measurement. Even tho it is set up to inches, the "new document" dialog box keeps the bleed, margins, and gutter in millimeters.

   Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Senior Lead Quality Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

   The proper way to use this feature has been explained. It works like this:

   The extra text frame (containing the Previous/Next Page Number) need not be linked to the text frame to which it refers. It just has to touch that text frame.

   The way this feature works is that you have a text frame that contains some text on a certain page. That text continues on a different page that is random. So, for example, in a magazine, you have an article that starts on page 11, and then it continues on page 80. In that case, you will create a separate text frame on page 11, make it touch the text frame that contains the article and put "Continued on Page . Similarly, on page 80, you will create a separate text frame and make it touch the article and put "Continued from Page .
   When you do that, on Page 11 you will see “Continued on Page 80” and on Page 80 you will see “Continued from Page 11”. And this remains dynamic in the sense that if you add or delete pages in the magazine, the Page Number in Continued on/Continued from changes automatically based on where the article continues on and where it is continued from.

   We hope now you’d understand why this feature is designed the way it is.

   Please use the feature as described above and let us know if it does not work for you.

8. Page numbering is broken

   Since the latest update (InDesign 15.1.2) you can no longer change the page numbering to roman numerals or a, b, c etc. When you make a new section and change the style of numbering system - nothing changes. You can also not make a page have a new number - for example change page 10 to page 20, it will remain as page 10. These are very important features of InDesign and need to be fixed as soon as possible.

   Step 1 - Menu - Layout - Number & section options
   Step 2 - Change page 1 to style 'i, ii, iii, iv ...'
   Expected result - pages numbered i, ii, iii etc.
   Actual result - no change
   Step 3: Change page 11 to page 1
   Expected result - page 11 is now labelled as page 11
   Actual result - no change

11. primary text frames threading is not honored on document pages

    1. Adobe InDesign 15.0.1 x64 (Windows 10)
    2. Facing pages document. I create a master page that includes two text frames per page--creating a two column spread on each page. I designate the leftmost frame as the primary text frame, and then manually link it to the frame just to its right. That frame is then linked to the leftmost frame on the right side page, and that one is linked to the frame furthest to the right. So the frames are linked, from left to right: frame 1 is primary, which is linked to frame 2, then to frame 3 (on the other page) and then to frame 4.

    Using the pages panel, I manually insert four pages into my document, assigning the new master page to these pages. The first three text frames are threaded correctly, but then the threading goes completely haywire.

    1. I would expect the new blank pages to replicate the text threading order that I created on my master page.

    2. The text threading goes wacky. I have included an image to demonstrate.

    This seems similar to the problem posted in this Bug report (34661228-based-on-master-pages-don-t-inherit-primary-text-f.html) however on the document pages my text frames ARE threaded, just not threaded in the same manner as they were on my master pages. Plus, I am using a much later version of InDesign than the one that fixed that particular problem.

15. automatic page numbering

    InDesign 2020 - I can no longer get automatic page numbers. When I insert special characters>marks>current page number on the master page, it inserts two 'ss' and won't insert an 'A' for the page number? I have copied an automatic page number from an old file and pasted it into this new one I'm working on, and it works OK. Has anyone else got any experience of this? What's your work around or solution?

17. Page numbering logic

    I don't get why the logic of page numbering is that complicaded in InDesign.

    imagen you would like to show the number of the current and the previous page on the same page.
    You can not simply put those varibles form Markers, saying Current Page Number an Next Page Number on the same page. – That would give you twice the Current Page Number.
    Current Solution: You have to write them into two conected Text fields, which are supposed to be ob bouth pages, that you want to put a number on.

    here my idea:
    Why wouldn't you make a varible that is named Previous Page Number and takes simple the Current Page - 1.
    Next Page Number – Current Page + 1.

    For those who wants to make crazy things with showing a Page Number from anywhere in the dokument, you could make a new varible called Any Page Number and works the quite the same way Previous and Next Page is working right now.

    So that would not make anything posible, that was not possible before, but it would make the use of pages marks easier and mor understandable beginners.

    Thanks for considering and i would be glad to hear if there is a good reason to leave it as user unfriendly as it is. :-)

19. Master Items misssing when used based on page

    Using Windows 7 or Mac OS no matter even it's in preview Indesign CC.

    I found this and very annoying to fix it manually in master page items.

    Steps Created Master Page A for body text pages
    Created master Page B: As a chapter opener. It's based on Master A. Only removed top running header.

    Now applied in pages:
    Left side page : Master Page A.
    Right side page chapter opener and applied Master Page B

    Result: Part of Running Header is disappear in Left Side Page, right side page ok as is.

    Am I missing something. Getting this kind of result from previous version of Indesign CC

    PS: When I removed based on features. Everything is ok. Even If item is within page, then also it's ok. If the items is touching the page edge or bleeding then it disappears.

    After further investigating, came to this conclusion: it only happens if used based on features in master pages and after removing editing header part. Effects on the item that bleeds. in this case Master page A.

    Refer the attachment for details.

    Using Windows 7 or Mac OS no matter even it's in preview Indesign CC.

    I found this and very annoying to fix it manually in master page items.

    Steps Created Master Page A for body text pages
    Created master Page B: As a chapter opener. It's based on Master A. Only removed top running header.

    Now applied in pages:
    Left side page : Master Page A.
    Right side page chapter opener and applied Master Page B

    Result: Part of Running Header is disappear in Left Side Page, right side page ok as is.

    Hello,

    I would like to suggest for the next version of Indesign to make possible the caesura between two consonants only.
