Figure numbering skips one number in caption in multi-chapter book
I have created a multi-chapter book. All the page numbers are correct from chapter to chapter. The Index of Figures is correct and sequential.
Chapter 3 contains figures 1 and 2.
Chapter 4 assigns 'figure 4' to the first figure, skipping figure 3.As I said, my Index of figures is correct and lists 'figure 3' with the caption that in the body of the text is assigned to figure 4.
I have tried changing the caption paragraph style bullets and numbering to 'start at' to 3, but then all of the figures in chapter 4 are labeled 'figure 3.'

cross-references bug introduced with 2018.1 update
The 2018.1 "search" added to cross-references is great and will be very helpful. Unfortunately it appears that a bug was introduced in the process of adding this feature.
When you double-click on a cross-reference in the Cross-References panel, it opens the Edit Cross References window. This used to open the window to the cross-reference you selected so you could edit it. Now, it opens the window at [All Paragraphs] with the first paragraph in this list selected.
This is a MESS for my workflow, as I now have to search through the cross-references to find and select the one I…

Adjust Minimum Increment Preferences
When using a document set up in inches, the default minimum measurement increment is .0625. It's really hard to work with increments this large when working with drop shadows, other effects, or working with space before and after. I'd love to be able to edit this default minimum increment so these things are easier to work with in inches.

Tabs in Arabic text move weight declaration to the wrong place
When placing an Arabic weight statement (e.g. "13g") followed by a tab and a percentage (e.g. "19%"), the weight declaration ("g" or "mg") moves to the percentage when exporting to pdf. Only when setting PDFX/1a:2001 is selected the output is correct. But this setting removes all layers and flattens transparencies so it's not very useful.
A workaround is to place a space after the tab (so on the left side since this is a right to left language).
See screen shot in attachment. On top = InDesign file, bottom = pdf created from this file using PDFX/4. The top line…1 vote -
Indesign will start but will not create a new doc or open a previous one.
I am using MacOS 10.13.6 High Sierra and Indesign CC 2018. The program has been working great but suddenly, beginning last night, InDesign will start up but when I go to create a new document nothing happens. I tried to open a document I had made the day before and it would no open either. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, trashed my preferences, but still not working. I get no warnings or spinning color wheels. What is going on?

InDesign crashes when highlighting open Acrobat comment text
This is a wild one that has happened multiple times now. InDesign will crash on my machine in the following specific circumstance:
1) I have a text box selected in a file that I want to copy text into,
2) I navigate to an ultimately unconnected PDF in Acrobat that has text I want to copy from,
3) the PDF has an open comment box with currently highlighted text,
4) I try to highlight other text within the comment box in order to copy that instead,
5) and InDesign crashes hard (closes completely).In case it matters, InDesign crashes before…

Is it safe now to reinstall 2019 Indesign to 14.0.1 as I had to reinstall 2018 again.

Copying data from Excel table into InDesign table. Data goes into one cell, rather than all.

Cell styles are not selected in the panel when applied through a Table style
InDesign CC 2018
Set up a table style and apply it to a table.
In the Table style, define a Cell style to be used.
In the CELL style, define a Paragraph style to be used. In the same Cell style also set a Text inset (to be sure you see that the cell style is in effect).Now put the text cursor inside a table cell, and notice how the currect Table style is selected in the Table styles panel, and also the correct paragraph Style in the Paragraph Panel.
But in the Cell Style panel, there is no…3 votes -
Image Links
After an image is placed in a document (first selected as "Place" in Bridge") the image is then selected, using the label "Select" in Bridge. In the InDesign document the link will become brokenand needs to be relinked. If the marking of the image in Bridge is not done then the linking problem doesn't not occur.

new version switches back to older version
I use InDesign for our school newsletter. I'm having issues with it switching from 2017 version to 2018 on any given day. This could be a department issue or could it be the program. Very frustrated with it at the moment. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

Page palette
My page palette shows both the master-pages and the document pages outside the palette margins in vertical view. I can sort of work around it when selecting horizontal view but it is messy and still cuts of some of the pages on the outside.
Restoring the preferences when opening Indesign fixes this bug but it's annoying. Is there a permanent solution for this?1 vote -
Custom story editor text color to does not change picture box icon color rendering invisible on black background
When changing the Story Editor Display text color to something other than black, the picture box icon color does not change to match. If the background is set to black (such as with the "Terminal" theme), picture boxes are no longer visible in the story editor. Only can be seen when highlighting the text.
Would like the picture box color to match the text color when using story editor.

New Document Thumbnails
I don't see the added value of the 'Thumbnails' in the New Document panel.
Those are rather confusing than functional, since all have the same aspect ratio.
Won't it be nice when the default icon reflects the actual orientation and aspect ratio?1 voteThis has been fixed in later versions of InDesign, check the latest version for change.
