Select multiple cells in a table that are not next to each other.
Good morning,
When we creating a table in Indesign, it is impossible to select several cells at the same time, if they are not side by side.
There is no shortcut yet that allows you to do this.
This would save a lot of time, being able to change the background color, or font, of several selected cells.
For the moment, we have to take the cells one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one... Not really fast...!Thanks in advance for future updates! :-)

Color Swatch Menu Closes Upon Right-Click
- Adobe InDesign v19.0 When I click the color swatches panel menu dropdown, the menu drops down, and I am able to edit existing swatches and I am able to add new swatches. The problem occurs when I attempt to right-click on a color or if I press the hamburger button at the top right of the panel. When I try to do either of these, the entire menu closes.

[ID-4251249] Exiting Presentation Mode changes Application's Window size at higher UI Scaling when connected to external monitor.
InDesign's Window size set by user prior to entering Presentation mode is not retained upon exiting from Presentation mode when connected to external monitor and with the UI Scaling set to other than Small setting.
InDesign's window becomes fullscreen.
It would be great to get back to same size and position.-

High Cpu Usage indesign 2021-2022-2023-2024 versions...
Hello, unfortunately I have this problem too, it constantly uses 30% of the processor when idle, I tried everything, but the problem is completely related to the new indesign versions. Adobe has not made a fix on this issue yet, when will you fix it, Adobe?
I never experienced this problem in old versions. This problem is valid for 2021-2022-2023-2024 versions.
I tested by installing all Indesign versions on my computer and found that the only problematic versions were versions 2021 and above.
From the attached images, you can see the CPU usage of the 2020 version and the 2021…

Link Name as Page Title in Share for Review
I have no idea why it isn’t set up this way, as the title of "Link Name" certainly makes it sound like that would be the page title, but instead I find that every single document I share for review has the page title of "Files | Adobe Creative Cloud" which is supper annoying when I have to share a few different proofs in a messaging app. Messaging apps (like Skype) convert the link to a card that features the page title in bold, so I end up with a series of links that all look the exact same, with…

composite fonts
InDesign VERSION 19.1
I Created a new font using "composite fonts", chose the base font, latin & Numbers. after creating the new font, i selected the text frame and applied the new font i created (like i always did)
the problem is, tha the latin letters showed up with wide spacing (wide tracking) - shown in the attached image.
While teaching my student that, they told me the encountered the same problem. Since i have used it in the past i assume it is a bugRegards

Data merge panel blank
Data Merge WAS failing to display data field placeholders in either existing documents or new ones. I'm getting a completely Data Merge blank panel when importing a new source file, and when opening an existing document with a linked file, I was only seeing a preview of one of the records.
This persisted through a number of workspace configurations (most including a second monitor) until I broke the Data Merge panel off from the others, and cycled through the panel size presets (the up/down chevrons to the left of the panel title) - only once returned to 'standard' size did…7 votes -
Copy & paste within a numbered list can cause wrong numbering
If you create a numbered list which runs over 2 or more columns and copy some text within the list from one paragraph to another the numbering changes. In my example you have 2 times 1 in the list.
To make it even more crazy this only happens when you use the Adobe Single-line composer. If you work with the Adobe ParagraphComposer there's no problem at all.
If you change the text frame from 2 columns to 1 column and back the error disappears as well.

PlaceGun does not have reference to idms textframe
Hi,
I'm trying to place a textframe from an idms file into an indesign document. The actual loadPlaceGun() operation seems to work fine as I'm able to paste the textframe on the page. However, I also want to have a reference to that textframe. I was trying to accomplish this by using
placeGun.pageItems.everyItem().getElements(), but it doesn't return any elements. I find this odd because I'm using the same method when inserting images and it works fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Link with pictures here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/placegun-does-not-have-reference-to-idms-textframe/m-p/14530065#M568624

Right-to-left paragraph orientation causes problems
Hello and thanks in advance to the respondents.
For several months now I have been suffering from a very annoying problem in InDesign and I have not been able to find a solution.
When I set the writing direction from right to left (using the edit menu - right to left), the arrow keys on the right and left keyboard stop responding as they should, and instead of each click the cursor moves one character to the right or left, clicking on them jumps the cursor to the beginning or end of the line.
The problem only exists when I…1 vote -

I'm assigning a page label to a parent page using by script like
myParentPage=app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.itemByName("PRD-Products").pages[0];
myParentPage.insertLabel("page", "products");When I insert a new document page based on this parent page, the page label is NOT inherited but just empty.

Disable the download video link in Publish Online
When viewing video on Publish Online, there's an option to download the video. It would be nice to be able to turn that off when uploading in the same way that the sharing can be turned off.

Export - Jpg - Page Size - Suffix
Love the new update where you can change the export options to include a specific Suffix, however could you remove the spaces between the sizes in the Page Size Suffix export? For example, 700 x 200 would be 700x200. This will help speed up the process in file naming as we can not have spaces in files names in any graphics for our websites.

Incorrect diacritic position for some letters when using bullets
When using the latest version of Noto Sans Arabic (2.012), if bullets/numbering is enabled in InDesign for a line containing a word with a medial position jeem ج, the dot of the jeem gets out of place. If bullets/numbering are not used, then all is well. I submitted this as a bug on GitHub for the Noto Sans team, but they say it is an issue with InDesign and the layout engine. You can also see other issues on the GitHub issue at https://github.com/notofonts/arabic/issues/232.
To reproduce:
