cannot select footnote with mouse
Sometimes, when entering multiple footnotes, I can't select the bottom or next-to-bottom ones with the mouse, as shown in the jpg I just uploaded. File shown in the screenshot also uploaded to my FTP site at http://www.conovers.org/ftp/AppSAR-1-Survival.indd, page 80 is where the problem is. Thank you.

Indesign 16.1 x64
Spell Checker from time to time switches from checking a story to checking the entire document. This is a pain when I'm working in a large document with hundreds of stories. Is there a way to make Spell Checker default to checking story?

Layer comps not working with Indesign on PC
A 32 grouped layered file originally drawn in Clip studio paint, added layer comps in Photoshop does either:
- upon placement place correctly but does not allow the changing of object layer options. OLO has a empty grey preview and does NOT change the image after pressing ok.
- upon "update links" crashed indesign or gives the error "cannot place this image, unsupported color space" (same image as above which DID place)I have tried to:
- move the layers to a new file, same effect
- opened other files similarly made which work
- tried this on a MAC…2 votes -
Edit Original not working
After a clean install of Adobe CC NONE of my preferences pulls through from the cloud!! But I could have expected this from Adobe.....
Working in InDesign and wanting to edit a PSD file that is used as a background, in the Links panel, I would select "Edit Original" - You would think Adobe is smart enough to actually set Photoshop as the default editor but as a user I have to manually go and assign a editor to each file type!?!?!?!?! HOW PATHETIC!1 vote -

endnotes hyperlinks
Endnote hyperlinks are not working both ways.
(1) I can go from text to the endnote by clicking on the endnote number in the text.
(2) However, I can not go back to the text from the endnote by clicking on the endnote number. This is because the endnote number has been modified - font type, font size, and indents.3 votes -

Bug Buttons and forms
Indesign 2020 - MacOs 10.13.6
in order to make an interactive PDF, I first created my bookmarks and then my buttons.
Yesterday I programmed them all with the "hit target" function to go to the desired page. Everything worked.
Today, I reopen the document and half of my buttons got deprogrammed, they are all with my 1st bookmark on the list.
I was still on the CS6 a week ago and it all worked perfectly!
In order to deliver my client in EMERGENCY, I have to save in idml and bring out my old Mac with CS6 to finalize it.…1 vote -

The CC Library freezes and i can't click any colors or elements. It is not possible to scroll in the library or change library. The issue sometimes is resolved when I restart the program but often not. I had this issue with an earlier version of Indesign too.6 votes -
Placing Word-document imports wrong language for built-in style names
Versions affected:
InDesign CC2021 (and older).Steps:
1. Use a non-english Word-version to make a Word-document.
2. Use built-in styles to style text. For example "Overskrift 1" ("Heading 1" in Norwegian).
3. Save as .docx
4. Save as .doc
4. In InDesign, Place the two Word-documents (including styles/formatting)Expected result:
* Both documents import with the same style names they had in Word ("Overskrift 1").Result:
* The docx places the text with the style name "Heading 1" (wrong)
* The doc places the text with the style name "Overskrift 1" (correct)This makes round-trips via Word problematic. We are…

Submit form
Hi, I don't know if this is a bug with InDesign or Acrobat, but when exporting an Interactive PDF, the "Submit Form" button crashes InDesign. The button appears set up correctly. It's supposed to email the results of the form to an email address, but instead it crashes Adobe Acrobat..

windows moving out of sight
I work with 2 screens. After a timeout (screen wakes up from afterdark), the floting tool windows jumped back to the main screen, partly out of sight. I can't use them anymore because the upper handle jumped above the workfield.
The problem is not solved with returning to my saved workspace.
I can only choose a standard wordspace, and have to order my tools again as prefered. (Quit anoying).
I solution could be, that you can pick up a window also at its bottom. (Is now only at the top).2 votes -
Data merge and EXIF
Presumably this is a bug. If you place a portrait photo from a camera in an InDesign document, InDesign will respect the EXIF information included with the file, and orientate the image accordingly.
However, if you use Data Merge and import photos dynamically via an image field, those same photos will be imported with the incorrect orientation, i.e. it ignores the rotation specified in EXIF. This can be very laborious to correct if not all photos are taken with the same orientation.

Object States panel - Renaming is not working
InDesign isn't allowing me to rename the different states in "object layer states". I have looked this up and there are a couple of other people who have posted about the same thing. I am running InDesign 16.0.2 and its on a MacBook Pro running the OS BIg Sur.
3 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest update to InDesign - InDesign 17.1 available through CCD app.
Please note that you would need to update to the latest macOS Monterey 12.1 also to see this working correctly.

scale tool freeze
I am using the latest InDesign CC 2021 and my operating system is: MacOS Catalina version:10.15.4. I can't use the scale tool very often. It happens to any file, not limited to a specific file. What happens is if I use scale tool for more than 3-4 times, the software will freeze. So in the dialogue box, I am not able to click into and enter any number, it is just frozen. I can't even right-click at the app icon to select "quit", I can only force quit through Apple command.
Guess what! I just create a new Indesign file,…3 votes
