Preflight panel Overset text not showing page number
SEE ALSO
Preflight panel Overset text not identifying page numberFor a couple different files, I got an error message in the Preflight panel, indicating the presence of Overset text, but NO page number. In both files, it said it was an issue with footnotes, but not where. One of the suggested fixes is to allow Split Footnotes, but that option is already checked.

After a lot of sleuthing, we eventually found the error. In one of the two files there were multiple errors in multiple locations. The entire footnote had vanished. The footnote reference was still there, but…

Changing text color with properties panel.
This is about changing the text color of a selected text field through the properties panel.
Current behaviour:
When a text field is selected the properties panel shows just the color of the box not the text. To change the text color a number of clicks through two submenus are necessary.Suggested behaviour:
Text and box color are displayed directly in the properties panel.Thanks!

Search option is not working on EPUB fixed Layout
I have found a problematic bug for .epub files exported from InDesign and opened in Adobe Digital Editions. The fixed layout epub file is not searchable.
To note, an epub file exported from InDesign and marked as re-flowable does work.
This is a SIGNIFICANT issue for me and here's why. I have a 700 page interactive book (includes embedded hyperlinks, videos, audio files) that needs to be distributed and opened by the general population and searchable.
1) The design of the book is formatted per page and needs to remain as laid out in InDesign. This means we can NOT…

Creative Cloud hijacks my entire computer - slow to the point of unworkable
I see this issue so HUGE in forums everywhere and find it frustrating with the support team coming up with lame answers every time, mostly blaming the user and with micro solutions that are temporary. These issues are known issues and keep coming back. Support close the tickets too readily and we can't re-open those cases to demonstrate how this is unresolved.
I've tried every remedy including:
- Uninstall Creative Cloud and all apps and reinstall
- Many times 'Repaired' - pretty much every restart it needs 'repairing'
- Used the cleaner tool
- Cleaned specific cache as instructed
- Made a second user to…

Indd freezes, then crashes, when opening linked (placed) indd files from an indd file
Indd 16.0 x64, and the previous version. Windows 10. Create a document with test and also linked Indesign "sub-documents" in it. Run spell-check or find & replace, set to check all open documents. Indd opens the linked document, then freezes. You cannot save, quit, or anything. I have submitted numerous crash reports. See https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indesign-2020-crashes-while-using-spell-check-with-linked-indesign-files-on-windows-10/m-p/11608010?page=1#M404257 for details.
My documents are typically books with 10-20 indesign files in each book. Some of the indesign files have placed (linked) indesign files, typically standard "boilerplate" that must be the same everywhere. When I run a spell check across all of the open docs in…

Opening idml from CC2021 crashes CC2020 but not CC2019 and earlier
When I save file as an idml from CC2021 I cannot open it in CC2020 as it crashes. CC2019 and earlier can open idml files from CC2021. It seems to be an issue only with CC2020. I've managed to open a 1 page blank document with CC2020 from CC2021, but anything that I've worked properly on crashes when the idml is opened in CC2020. I've attached an example.

InDesign CC : 2020 / 15.0.0.155
MacOS : 10.13.6
MS Excel : 16.30 for MacWe were able since ever (last version ID CC 2019) to import Excel data-cells by InDesign with the placing functionality.

If the numbers in the Excel files have at least 1 decimal place numbers are imported correctly (e.g. 153.6 imports to InDesign as 153.6). Please fix this InDesign…

Hi Team, InD CS -yes I know it's from the ark but I love it! It still does a great job!!
When placing an item from Library (in this case formatted Text Boxes), what do they actually link to?
I have them marked "lock position" but then I find them scattered all over the document (a quite long one).
Is there any way to link them (position them) relative to a paragraph mark or some other text item on the page.1 vote -

Text lag/slow when Documents Folder is present (package)
Since 15.03 there is a Text lag after opening documents that are in a folder that has a Documents folder. This delay has gotten worse in 15.1. If you're working from packaged InDesign folder, try deleting the document fonts folder inside it. Lagging was caused because of a double up in fonts on my computer. This took a month of testing by myelf and IT team to finally figure out!

Use Auto-Sizing and Text Wrap Frame on causes application crash
Environment: InDesign 2020 (15.0.2 Japanese version) + macOS (confirmed with 10.15.3 and 10.14.6)
- create and connect two text frames
- set Auto-Sizing "Height and Width" on Text Frame Options
- Insert text into two frames full
- overlay graphic frames with Text Wrap settings ON
- move the graphic frame appropriately (drawing is not normal at this point)
- close documents with Command + W
During this operation, you will usually be asked to confirm the save, but suddenly InDesign will end and the application will crash.
Also, if you try while overwriting with Command + S without Command + W, you may not be…10 votesHi
