1. Suddenly unable to import RTF files?

   Suddenly unable to import RTF files to INDD pages, possibly after most recent software update through ACC. Have been doing it the same way for years, and now it refuses to let me autoflow or even place the first column of what will be a multi-page layout.

3. Latest Indesign Slowdown on M1 Chip

   I am on the Macbook M1 Air with 16.2 and still experiencing random slowdowns when editing text, moving images, all the basic functions of InDesign.

   I have removed all Adobe CC apps, removed all plugins, used a cleaner. I am now running the latest clean Silicon version of InDesign and experiencing the same issues.

   I turned off GPU enhancements as folks recommended, which helped, but it still shows the beachball from time to time whenever I try a simple task.

4. Font not appearing

   A font I have installed and previously been able to select in InDesign is now not showing for me on any new document I create. I have updated InDesign and double checked the font (it shows in all other programs) but the only way I can get the font to appear in InDesign is to copy text from another file that has my font in which is not really ideal.
   The font is Raleway.

5. dropbox links

   Indesign use to be smart enough to know that links are from dropbox and looks for the my dropbox folder and not the link path that goes all the way to the drive name.

   But lately every time I open a file from a team member, I have to relink ever file manually.

8. 'see' reference in index

   InDesign CC, latest version

   Strange bug (or at least unwanted behavior) I encountered today in Indesign:

   For a new book project, I used an earlier book as a template (a lot of the settings and styles should be the same), replacing all the text and images. The index in the earlier book contained 'see'-references. For the new book I generated a new index ('replace old index' checked), and the 'see'-references (just these) from the old book also showed up!
   I would expect checking the 'replace old index' box would prevent this.
   Not a big deal (the faulty entries were easy to be found), and certainly not a reason to change the way I work, but maybe something could be done about it.
   Also see discussion on the forum.

10. Style Mapping to [Basic Paragraph] doesn’t work with remembered settings or presets

    When you place (import) a Word document into InDesign, you can choose to use Style Mapping to map the paragraph and character styles in Word to their equivalents in your InDesign document. When you use this feature for the first time in a document, the mappings get stored somewhere and are remembered for any subsequent imports you perform in the same document; you can also choose to save your import settings, including Style Mappings, as a preset to use freely in any document.

    If you map any Word styles to the default [Basic Paragraph] style in InDesign, it works as expected the first time (when you actively select [Basic Paragraph] from the dropdown menu). But if you do another import where InDesign reads the Style Mappings from a file – either by using the cached Style Mappings that InDesign has remembered from last time, or by using a saved preset – any style that is mapped to [Basic Paragraph] will not work properly. Instead of mapping the Word style to the existing, built-in [Basic Paragraph], what happens is that a second paragraph style is created with the name [Basic Paragraph], and with properties (font, size, etc.) matching the formatting of the Word style, rather than the built-in [Basic Paragraph] style. This should not even be possible, since you end up with two styles that have the exact same name, but it happens nonetheless (see screenshot).

    In order to avoid this, you have to go into Style Mappings and re-select all instances of [Basic Paragraph] manually. Notably, when you open the Style Mappings window, the mappings all look correct, but when you click on [Basic Paragraph], the dropdown menu doesn’t open like it does normally – the text “[Basic Paragraph]” just disappears and the selection field becomes empty. You then have to click a second time for the dropdown menu to open.

    This bug has been present for several years (unsure how long). It is present in both Windows and Mac versions of InDesign.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Create a Word document and type some text in any paragraph style (the default “Normal” will do)
    2. Create an InDesign document and place the Word file; make sure “Show Import Options” is selected
    3. In the Microsoft Word Import Options window, select “Customise Style Import” and click on “Style Mapping”, then map the style used in the Word document to [Basic Paragraph]; click OK twice and click somewhere in the document to import the text
    4. Place the Word file again in the same way, using the cached Style Mappings which InDesign automatically remembers without changing anything (you can even deselect “Show Import Options” and skip that part entirely)

    Actual Result:
    After the second import, your document has two paragraph styles, both named “[Basic Paragraph]”, see screenshot. One is the built-in default style; the other is an erroneously created doublet and has the little ‘arrow-into-a-box’ icon to show that it is an imported/auto-created style. The text imported the first time is styled with the built-in [Basic Paragraph] style; the text imported the second time is styled with the imported ‘parasitic’ [Basic Paragraph] style.

    Expected Result:
    After the second import, there is only one paragraph style in the document, the built-in [Basic Paragraph] style. All the text in the document, both that imported in the first import and that imported in the second import, is styled with this built-in [Basic Paragraph].

    Any Workarounds:
    Every time you place a Word file, always enter the Style Mapping window and manually reselect [Basic Paragraph] from the dropdown menu for all styles that map to this style. Alternatively, after importing the file, delete the ‘fake’ [Basic Paragraph] style and when asked what to do with the text, select the real [Basic Paragraph] style to replace it.

    When you place (import) a Word document into InDesign, you can choose to use Style Mapping to map the paragraph and character styles in Word to their equivalents in your InDesign document. When you use this feature for the first time in a document, the mappings get stored somewhere and are remembered for any subsequent imports you perform in the same document; you can also choose to save your import settings, including Style Mappings, as a preset to use freely in any document.

    If you map any Word styles to the default [Basic Paragraph] style in InDesign, it works as… more

11. On launching indesign by opening a file, Indesign loses all its tools until 15 seconds after an action

    Recent development in INDD 16.3 (2021)
    INDD opens fine and from the open screen recent files or new files open fine.
    But when launching indesign by clicking on a file, it opens without any tools available.
    tool windows appear, later after something is done like selecting a workspace
    running under win10
    triple 4k monitor setup
    have tried uninstall reinstall - that failed.

12. BUG - Autonumbering turns off when hiding a layer - BUG

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create 2 threaded text frames on a page.
    2. Fill them with text (Lorem ipsum)
    3. Autonumber the paragraphs with Autonumbering feature in InDesign - regular 1, 2, 3-list will do.
    4. Create a new layer
    5. Move the first frame in the text flow to that layer
    6. Turn off visibility of that layer....

    The autonumbering is gone from any autonumbered list!!!

14. Tell (X,Y) values of specific table cells

    When I have tables in a document, I often have to lay text boxes over specific cells to achieve my desired result and it would be helpful to have a way to know the specific (X,Y) values of each cell so that I can line the relevant text box up appropriately.

16. crash

    InDesign version info attached (Mac OS 10.15.7).

    I've been dealing with persistent crashing while trying to open ID files. For certain files, the beach ball of death appears for an extended (and sometimes endless) period, at which point I force-quit and open the file again. On the second attempt, the file always opens properly. This happens with most, not all, ID files — so I literally have to restart ID 30+ times a day. No fun.

    I've reset preferences and even reinstalled ID from scratch, but no luck. One thing I noticed is that if I move the ID file to the desktop, it opens fine on the first try. I did some more experimenting, and now it seems that if one of the file's parent folder names begins with a number/pound sign, the error/hang occurs — however, when I remove the pound sign, the file opens fine (I begin my project folder names with the project number). In my case, the relevant parent folder is three levels up (e.g., #80-21 Project name > LAYOUTS > v1 > Project file.indd).

    Soooo, I'm not sure WHY this is happening, but it may be an easy fix, and I'm guessing (?) this may be happening to other users as well. Hope this helps — fixing this would be a simple but major usability improvement on my end. Thanks.

18. Layer hidden by top layer

    I have a layer with text and images and then a layer below it will squares of solid colors. Whenever the text layer is visible and on top, the colors cannot be seen despite there being areas where they should be completely visible. The text box is set to transparent as well. When I move the colored squares to the text layer they can be seen. How can this be fixed without having the squares be moved to the text layer?

20. Issues with MacOS custom keyboards and InDesign

    The users have InDesign V16.1 installed on macOS Big Sur (11.4).
    They use custom software keyboards (created with Ukelele) to type Native American language characters (Salish via IPA). They use custom fonts that have the required glyphs for the language. OpenType marks are used for composing characters. The fonts are both Unicode and OpenType compliant. Frequently a properly composed character will consist of a primary glyph (such as "K") followed by a combining glottal and a wsuperior. If each key of the custom software keyboard has only a single unicode code point assigned, everything works fine. However, if the custom software keyboard has more than one unicode code point assigned, then only the first unicode code point glyph is accepted and displayed by InDesign. This is consistent and repeatable in InDesign. With all other tested apps (Word, Pages, Mellel, OS Finder, etc) both the custom fonts and custom keyboards work fine (a single keypress, with multiple unicode code points assigned) displays all of the glyphs assigned to the keystroke.
