  4. Table Styles don't work properly

    When editing a style for a table the table border is ignored if row strokes are set. Changing row or column strokes is ignored. Strokes remain whatever they were before the change. Changes have to be made manually making table styles basically useless.

    Note, no styles are set for table cell borders.

  6. footnote reference formatting is wrong

    The new version 19 and 19.0.1 shows footnote reference numbers incorrectly When paragraph justification is set to Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer. It must be set to the basic Adobe Paragraph Composer to work.

    The problem is the final digit (if the reference is greater than 9) does not apply the character style formatting defined in the Footnote Options setup, so the last digit is shown as normal.

    The same issue happens on running head page numbers with a style applied, but only on the right hand page. It also happens on cross-reference numbers. A workaround is to place a character…

  7. Adobe InDesign 2024 (v19.0) - Unable to create own style pack (error popup)

    When I try to create a new style pack I get the dialog to apply different styles. When choosing the according styles for Heading, Subheading,... I only get an error pop up. When confirming, I get another alert, a couple of times in a row (for every following style to apply one). After confirming all alerts I get one or more text frames filled with example text (no specific format / settings) on the first page of the document.

  8. Redefine style changes Grep Style

    When redefining a style based on changes to an existing style (and that existing style has a GREP style in use), the style parameters of the style or grep style are changed. Whereas, if you edit a style directly and apply the same changes, the grep style is unaffected. See video.

    In the 1st case in your video, you have applied a local override to the Style by changing. That's why you see a + in the name of the Style. When you Redefine that Style, the overrides go away and the Style gets redefined with the new attributes.


    However, in the 2nd case, you are Editing the Style directly by opening the Style dialog. So any changes you make in the dialog automatically becomes part of the Style itself and there is no need to Redefine it from the panel menu.


    It is working correctly.

  9. Montserrat typeface's; semi bold, bold, extra bold & black has issues displaying in Id

    Version 2024 19.0

    When I change the font to Monserrat with one of the mentioned styles most of the glyphs are wrongly presented for example if i choose bold most of the letters seem to be light rather than bold, with a few like 'o' and 'E' displaying as the right style, when they should all be displayed as bold.

  10. Grep Style at end of Frame Does NOT Map to XML or Show the Style is Applied

    Have text lines in a contents like this, where the space is a tab:
    DENTITION 287
    INDEX 299

    The paragraph style uses these two GREP style lines to apply a character style that changes the point size of the number to 8.5 pt.
    \t[ivxclm0123456789]+[\r\n]+
    \t[ivxclm0123456789]+\z

    When the text line is at the end of a frame the number is formatted correctly per the character style at 8.5pt, but when the number is selected InDesign shows the wrong size in the menus, unlike the other numbers NOT at the end of the frame, which shows the point size the number actually…

  11. Border style bottom is being applied twice to the same text.

    This is a message for all the adobe indesign programmers, before adding new features can you at least fix all the bugs in this program!

    I use the border feature a lot but lately it's been bugger than usual. I have a piece of text that has a border right and bottom. Under it I have another piece of text with the same settings and both have merge borders turned on. Please look at screenshot and tell him what the **** is going on! There is only 2 blocks of text but it's giving me 4 borders!

  12. Override to Character Style Gets Removed

    File from a client had a character style on a phrase making the phrase Italic. They then overrode part of the phrase with the character style back to Regular.

    When a different paragraph style is applied (WITHOUT telling InDesign to remove overrides) the override within the character style goes away, reverting the overridden text back to the character style.

    The problem seems to only occur when the font style of the new paragraph style being applied MATCHES the override that's applied.

    I.e., overriding to Bold, then applying the a new paragraph style that is Bold, removes the override. BUT overriding…

  15. The shortcut for “Apply default fill and stroke color” doesn’t work as expected.

    InDesign 18.5
    MacOS 12.6.8

    To reproduce the issue:
    Change the definition of your [Basic Graphic Frame] Style (say Black Fill, No Stroke).
    Draw an object, then press the D keyboard shortcut (set to “Apply default fill and stroke color”).
    Expected result: [Basic Graphic Frame] style is applied to the object (Black Fill, No Stroke).
    Actual result: “No Fill, 1 pt Black Stroke” is applied instead. Impossible to change the definition of “Default Fill and Stroke” applied.

  16. Shadow Style

    Would it be possible to create a shadow style? It would be really helpful to be able to create the shadow you need, and then to be able to quickly apply it across a document(s).

  17. Character style changing while using grep

    Hi Support,

    I had a issue while using GREP, While replacing the manual bulleted paragraph to bullet styled paragraph,

    I have used the below:

    Find What:

    ^ ·\t(.+)$

    Change to:

    $1

    Change Format:

    Bullet_Txt (paragraph style)

    Required Action:

    Need to implement the paragraph style at the as-well-as eliminate the bullet with tab.

    When I replace by option "change" one by one all the instances change clearly

    While using "change All" option, the initial letter of roman word followed by italic word changes to italics vice versa.

  18. Bulleted and numbered lists, "Restart Numbers at This Level After:" behavior is not consistent

    1. create a document with "Bulleted and numbered lists" and List Type "Numbers"  * There are 3 types of headings and 3 levels.
    2. set the levels so that each heading is renumbered according to the higher level heading. 3.
    3. re-set the numbering style to "none" or remove "^#" from the "Number" to indicate numbering
    4. the numbers are no longer re-numbered.

    Workaround: set Mode to "Start At: 1" instead of "Continue from Previous Number

    I had quite a bit of trouble finding a workaround. Also, it is often the case that the higher levels do not want to display numbers, so the…

  19. Automatic paragraph numbering resulting in different numbers in InDesign and InCopy

    I have a document with one assignment containing multiple linked textboxes. On one page I have two individual textboxes above each other. Both boxes start with a headline styled with the same paragraph style that has numbering turned on with the mode Continue from Previous …, both paragraphs are in the default list and both textboxes are linked to the same assignment.

    In InDesign everything is displayed as you would expect, the first textbox starts with I and the second with II. In InCopy, it is reversed even though the content is up-to-date, not checked in, etc.

    InDesign 18.3 and…

  20. Drop Cap size, is based on next character

    Indesign 2023 Hebrew Version
    Macbook Pro M1

    When i create a drop cap, the size of the drop cap is changing based on the next character after the drop cap, it only happens when the leading is fixed, when the leading is auto, it just moves up and down based on the size of the next character.
    As you can see in the attached images, both paragraphs have the same style but when i change the size of the character after the drop cap the size or the leading of the drop cap changes
