If “Proportional-width half-width” is set as the automatic numbering format for “Bulleted and numbered lists,” the indent values will be mis
Note: This issue occurs only in CJK environments.
1 Create a character style that uses only “Proportional-width half-width”.
2 In “Bullets and Numbering,” apply automatic numbering, use a tab to advance the text after the number, and set the character style to “Proportional-width half-width”.
3 The indent value shifts backward, causing it to no longer align with the start of the second line.
Workaround: Move the indent position slightly forward and align it visually; then use the “Indent to Here” feature to align the second line.注意：この現象はCJK環境下でのみ発生する。
1 「等幅半角字形」のみを設定した文字スタイルを作る。
2 「箇条書きと段落番号」で、自動番号を与え、自動番号の後はタブで送り、文字スタイルで半角等幅を設定する。自動番号の前後には全角丸カッコを与える。
3 インデント値が後方へずれ、2行目の先頭と合わなくなる。
回避策：インデント位置を少し前方に来るようにして目視で位置を合わせ、2行目は「ここまでインデント」で合わせる。12 votes -

Table of Contents running heads
The Table of Contents should have an option to include just the running head portion of a paragraph, often in a bold style in my documents. Otherwise one has to manually strip out all the text that follows after a running head in the Table of Contents.

Text Frame Autosize
Hello,
I tried to update a Text Frame Object style to have the Text Frame Autosize Height and Width but it squishes the text box as thin and possible. But it repects the existing text without squishing when it's only Autosize Width. I've noticed it before but it's an interesting bug. I did play around with the placement reference point but it all stayed squished. Not a major bug and it could be user error on my part if there is a setting elsewhere I need to click to get it to just resize the text box to fit the…1 vote -

suggest an idea
InDesign would benefit from an option that allows Apply Next Style (or a Paragraph Style setting) to automatically detect the final paragraph in a contiguous sequence and then apply an alternate “last paragraph” style. This is especially useful for designs where a repeated list uses a separator — for example, in a “Materials and Tools” box where each item has a rule below, but the final item should appear without the rule.
At present, this requires manually applying a separate “last item” style to the final paragraph every time such a box is created. Giving InDesign the ability to recognise…

Writing in Arabic is not possible in the new version
In the new version, it looks that writing in Arabic is not possible (the letters are not connected). Is this a bug? I tried to reinstall the new version and I already have my other Adobe products and account set to "English support Arabic" in languages

Object Style defined to ignore Nonprinting changes Nonprinting status when applied to grouped frames
Object Style defined to ignore Text Wrap & Other, when applied to a group of two frames where one has Nonprinting applied and the other does not, changes the Nonprinting status.
Expected result: attributes in a category that is greyed out will be ignored, including Nonprinting.
Actual result: Nonprinting turned off and frame prints and is visible in Overprint Preview.
Pictured: The only intended purpose of the object style is to change position of frame. 1: The two frames are grouped. Large frame is live, small frame is note for designer. 2: The object style as defined. (By the way,…

Bullets, Nested Style through End Nested Style Marker Causes Visible Shift
Indesign 2025, Mac OS Ventura 13.7.2
I've created a bullet style with a nested style that applies a character style to the type up through the first ":".
I duplicated that style and changed the nested style setting to apply the same character style up through the first "end nested style marker".
When I set a paragraph to the second style, the type shifts position. No other change was made to the second style other than changing the parameters of the nested style.
I have no idea why this is happening. I cannot find a baseline shift or other setting…

When duplicating groups in Cell Styles, new styles are not appended with " copy", two styles with same namae
When duplicating a group of cell styles, the resulting duplicate group's name is appended with " copy" but the style names contained within that group folder are not appended with " copy" and therefore you have duplicate style names in the Cell Styles. Additionally, when duplicating more than one style within a group, sometimes multiple "copy" styles are created, and other times, they are not, rather, the edit style dialog box appears...but on save, no style is saved into the group. Seems a bit kluge.

Typing letter in Paragraph/Character style Shortcut field results in invisible shortcut being assigned
How to reproduce this serious bug:
-Double-click a Paragraph or Character Style to edit
-Type a letter in the Shortcut field
-Witness the field remanining blank
-Click OK.Typing this letter in the document will now assign this style, while the letter remains invisible in the Shortcut field.
A solution (provided the user will ever figure out what's going on) is to select all (Cmd-A) in the shortcut field and press delete (or maybe just delete is enough).

InDesign 20.2
20.2 has broken my Ad Import plugin. The defaults that worked 2 weeks ago don't work.
The label is not transparent. The box that the ad is in is transparent — it should be white. If I use the Object Style, the ad doesn't resize to fit content to the box.

Cannot apply Paragraph/Character Styles
Indesign 19.5 and 20.0.1
Steps to resolve:
Reinstalling latest Indesign (20.0.1), restarting my iMac, reverted to a previous version of ID (19.5), copied the file to my desktop to open from there, started a fresh document and tried to create new Styles (doesn't let me), opened another document which has styles that worked (they also don't work any more), deleted preferences, and finally I have updated my iMac and that hasn't fixed it either.Expected result:
Font Styles panel should work as it should be (and as it did 3 days ago) in that you click on a Style and…2 votes -
