1. map Word lists to InDesign lists and paragraph styles

   As the InDesign help documentation notes (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/map-export-manage-styles.html), "Text styles with bullet or number lists may not be copied or exported to a different application with the bullets or numbers intact." The suggested workflow is extremely time-consuming for a long document where every paragraph is assigned to a hierarchical outline structure in Word, since each paragraph has to be manually assigned to the correct paragraph style and the Word outline numbering that was converted to text needs to be manually deleted. In addition, when placing the document, it creates a separate new "imported list" style from each Word list, resulting in hundreds of unused list styles that need to be individually deleted in another tedious process (why isn't there any way to delete all unused Lists? or at least allow me to select multiple for deletion in the Define Lists dialog.)

   A much faster workflow would be the following: in the place Word doc import options, add a section for mapping numbered/lettered lists in Word to InDesign lists and paragraph styles. Allow me to map each Word list hierarchy level to a corresponding InDesign list Level, assigned to a single InDesign list (this is a many-to-one reassignment). Also allow me to map each Word list hierarchy level to a corresponding InDesign paragraph style (this is a one-to-many reassignment, since Word allows multiple list levels in a single list Style).

2. GREP styles do not work in text variables

   The title should say it all. When setting a text variable in a paragraph style that includes GREP styles, the GREP styles are not applied to the text variable. This is a severe limitation of the variable functionality, and is similar to many other reported bugs concerning variables, the upshot of which is that variables need to behave more like ordinary text. This is one more instance in which this is true.

3. Styles

   To me it seems it would be logical to be able to apply a style across an entire piece of work in on action. Currently, if I set up a document and set the style from the jump and do not need to change it or anything it is fine. I had a situation where a publisher did not like some of the typesetting in the work and kicked it back. This was a 291 page document with 2-4 text boxes per page using multiple styles. I had to touch every box of text to update everything. Seems as if this should be a basic functionality that when I apply a style to something, I would expect it to ask me if I want to apply it to the whole document, or there be a checkbox or something that makes that possible. Then if I say no, that manual work is what should be expected. I understand that in a perfect world using a single style one can just update that style but it is not always that way and in my experience with IndDesign everytime a new version comes out, some of my styles disappear and then I have to root around in the document to find one of them, copy it back into the panel by cloning it and then apply that style manually over the other ones. So it would be super nice to be able to do the entire thing at once.

4. Arrowheads can not scale

   When you have a .5 line you are unable to scale the arrowhead.

   I do a lot of call outs for instructional work and I would love to be able to make the arrowheads smaller.

5. InDesign 2025 changes frame size while applying object style

   If you apply an object style with only height set in size/position tab, and inset spacing, the width of the frame changes adding the inset spacing to the width. For example: 100mm width frame (no style applied) and an object style with height set to 25mm and 5mm of inset spacing in both sides (left/right). The frame with applied style will result in 110mm width.

6. Bug: mixed open type numbers

   If a text is set in a paragraph format using medieval numbers and using character format with versal number for footnotes, sets the number with two digits wrong: the first will be versal, the second medieval (see image).

7. Character style based running header text variable does not pick up character styles applied by nested line styles

   As with Grep styles the text variable character style is not found when it is created using Nested Line Styles. This means I have to use normal nested styles and add end nested style markers into the text. Not ideal or as fully automatic as I would like.

9. Ordinals do not work

   The OpenType function „ordinals“ does not function correctly.
   When I type English ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on), the option „ordinals“ should move the text characters to the top. When the number is at the beginning of a line, it works. But if there’s another word before the number, it puts only the first character to the top and leaves the second on line. I tried with different fonts, and only with one of the fonts it works as expected. What’s wrong???

11. Montserrat typeface's; semi bold, bold, extra bold & black has issues displaying in Id

    Version 2024 19.0

    When I change the font to Monserrat with one of the mentioned styles most of the glyphs are wrongly presented for example if i choose bold most of the letters seem to be light rather than bold, with a few like 'o' and 'E' displaying as the right style, when they should all be displayed as bold.

12. hyperlink removes style

    This is ID 19.4.

    Hello– I have a character style applied to some (but not all) of the text in a TOC (see Attachment 1). As a test, we'll consider the word BELFAST, which has this specific style applied to it: font Roboto Bold, size 10, leading 12, All Caps, PMS 5275 CMYK.

    However, when I use the 'Add Hyperlink' function to the entire text block (from BELFAST to the page #), the previously described style I have applied onto BELFAST is removed (see second attachment).

    The particular TOC I'm showing you is short so no biggie, but I have several of these books and some of the TOCs are quite long so this issue becomes tedious to correct.

    Is there a logical explanation for this, or a bug? Let me know if you need more details. Tx!

13. footnote reference formatting is wrong

    The new version 19 and 19.0.1 shows footnote reference numbers incorrectly When paragraph justification is set to Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer. It must be set to the basic Adobe Paragraph Composer to work.

    The problem is the final digit (if the reference is greater than 9) does not apply the character style formatting defined in the Footnote Options setup, so the last digit is shown as normal.

    The same issue happens on running head page numbers with a style applied, but only on the right hand page. It also happens on cross-reference numbers. A workaround is to place a character after the number, which is not always possible.

14. Adobe InDesign 2024 (v19.0) - Unable to create own style pack (error popup)

    When I try to create a new style pack I get the dialog to apply different styles. When choosing the according styles for Heading, Subheading,... I only get an error pop up. When confirming, I get another alert, a couple of times in a row (for every following style to apply one). After confirming all alerts I get one or more text frames filled with example text (no specific format / settings) on the first page of the document.

15. Can't add paragraph- or charactar styles to CC library

    Whenever i add a pargraph- or character styles to a CC library it simply wont add it. It says that the character - or paragraph style is not supported in Indesign. This happens with new and old libraries, character- and paragraph styles just dissapeared in older libraries. This makes the libraries unworkable.

    Adobe indesign 18.5

    To reproduce:
    - add a character - or paragraph style to the library
    - watch it disappear from the library

    expected result:
    - the character- or paragraph is added to the library, so it can happily be used for the book and all it's chapters we are currently making

    actual result:
    - we can't use shared character - and paragraph styles from the library

18. [ID-4236204]Using “Paragraph Borders and Shading” on frame grid, it is incorrect to base them on grid attributes possessed by the frame grid

    InDesign Version CC2018 or newer

    1. “Paragraph Borders and Shading” are usually generated based on the outline of the glyphs in the paragraph to which they are applied.
       This is true even if they are grid-aligned on a text frame (Figure 1-a, right).
       However, when the same settings are made on a frame grid, for some reason, they are generated based on the grid attributes of the frame grid, not the glyph outlines.
       This always occurs based on the grid attribute of the frame grid, regardless of whether the text in the frame grid is grid-aligned or not (Figure 1-a left).
       The “Paragraph Borders and Shading” setting in Figure 1-a is the same for both (Figure 1-b).
       In Japanese typesetting, such operation is rarely used.
       In particular, it is never done when paragraphs that are not grid-aligned are mixed within a frame grid.
       For this reason, “Paragraph Borders and Shading”cannot be used when using a frame grid.

    2. Then, it is not so if “Paragraph Borders and Shading” can be somehow operated as long as they are grid-aligned in the frame grid.
       In Figure 2-a, it can be seen that the "Paragraph Border" that occurs in the right and left paragraphs is different.
       Both the right and the left have the same settings (Figure 2-b).
       The only difference is whether it is at the top of the paragraph or in the middle.
       This phenomenon occurs when the “Gyodori”setting is used.

    From the above two points, I believe that the developer does not understand how the “Paragraph Borders and Shading” should occur on the frame grid at all.
    “Paragraph Borders and Shading” should occur on the frame grid, just as it does on a text frame, based on glyph outlines, and should not be affected by grid attributes.

    「段落の囲み罫と背景色」をフレームグリッド上で使用するとき、フレームグリッドの持つグリッド属性を基準にするのは間違っている

    1.　「段落の囲み罫と背景色」は、通常は適用した段落のグリフの外形を基準として発生する。
    これは、テキストフレームでグリッド揃えをしていても同様である（図1-a右）。
    しかし、フレームグリッド上で同じ設定をすると、なぜかグリフの外形ではなく、フレームグリッドの持つグリッド属性を基準として発生してしまう。
    これはフレームグリッド内のテキストが、グリッド揃えをしていてもしていなくても、必ずフレームグリッドのグリッド属性を基準に発生してしまう（図1-a左）。
    図1-aで設定している「段落の囲み罫と背景色」の設定はどちらも同じである（図1-b）。
    日本語の組版上、そのような運用をすることはまずない。
    特に、フレームグリッド内に、グリッド揃えをしない段落を混在させるときには、絶対にしない。
    このため、フレームグリッドを使用している時には、事実上「段落の囲み罫と背景色」は使用できない。

    2.　ではフレームグリッド内でグリッド揃えをしていれば、「段落の囲み罫と背景色」は何とか運用できるのかというと、そうではない。
    図2-aでは、右と左の段落で、発生している「段落の囲み罫」が異なることが見て取れるだろう。
    右も左も同じ設定である（図2-b）。
    違うのは、段落の最上部にあるか、半ばにあるかだけである。
    この現象は、「段落の行取り」設定をしているときに発生する。

    上記の2つの点から、開発者はフレームグリッド上で「段落の囲み罫と背景色」がどのように発生するべきかを全く理解していないと考えられる。
    「段落の囲み罫と背景色」は、フレームグリッド上であっても、テキストフレーム上と同じように、グリフ外形を基準として発生するべきで、グリッド属性に左右されてはいけない。

    InDesign Version CC2018 or newer

    1. “Paragraph Borders and Shading” are usually generated based on the outline of the glyphs in the paragraph to which they are applied.
       This is true even if they are grid-aligned on a text frame (Figure 1-a, right).

       This always occurs based on the grid attribute of the frame grid, regardless of whether the text in the frame grid is grid-aligned or not (Figure 1-a left).… more
