  1. If the two text boxes are connected, how does the footnote restart from ①

    I have a book that needs to be typeset that is single-column and contains footnotes, but the footnotes start at ① for each article.

    I don't want to go through and break up each article. I'd like to typeset it in just one text box, but it seems like the footnotes can only be connected.

    Is there any solution to this?

    It would be nice if it could be split by "page breaks(~P)" or "frame breaks(~R)" or "column breaks(~M)".

  2. Small arrows to adjust the coordinates

    I love the new "Properties" window that adjusts automatically. But I really miss the little arrows next to the x/y coordinates and width/height to be able to adjust the values. Please add them back! :-)

  3. The new Text Wrap is missing all the adjustment options

    There are no adjustment options available in the 2024 version of Indesign. There are only preset options that can't be adjusted up or down in size or amount of wrapping.

  4. align panel

    My Align panel is just blank. Some of the Align options are showing up in my top dock area, but I need the Distribute options and those are nowhere to be found. All of my software is up to date (I'm on an iMac), I've tried restarting... still nothing. This was working find just last week and a couple days ago I noticed the panel was blank.

  5. A Tabulação não aceita imagem Wrap

    Quando faço uma tabulação na largura da coluna e coloco uma imagem com text warp do lado esquerdo da imagem eu tenho que tabular linha por linha (ver Arquivo), do lado direito da imagem que é o início da coluna de texto funciona perfeitamente.

  6. Text and picture boxes flash white when selecting and moving

    This is a problem I’ve been experiencing for some time and it’s still present in the latest version I’ve updated to.

    Whenever I select any item on the page - a picture box or text box - and I drag to another position, the item flashes white for a frame as I move it. This occurs whether I move the item with or without holding down the Shift key. It is only the item that flashes, not the rest of the page, but if I am moving a large shape or the background image, it becomes uncomfortable to the eye.

  7. horizontal and vertical restrain with shift key not working.

    InDesign 19.4 will not allow me to constrain proportions when resizing a photo box. The window simply closes to re-crop the image. It does allow resizing the photo IN the box with the direct selection tool. It also will not allow me to constrain horizontally or vertically when shift-dragging any item. It also does not restrain the line tool. It also does not allow me to rebuild preferences.

  8. The amount of “Indent to Here” in a paragraph with a “Text Wrap” object at the beginning of the line is wider than usual.

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign Windows CC2023-2024
    2. Steps to reproduce the issues Place an object with "Text Wrap" at the beginning of the line and insert "Indent to Here" in the paragraph.
    3. Expected result Wrap at "Indent to Here"
    4. Actual result A gap is created where the "Text Wrap" is added to the wrap of "Indent to Here".

    I suspect that the issue mentioned in the post below may be related to it being fixed in 2023 (18.0).
    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/42200695-text-wrapping-has-changed-to-before-2019-use-textf

    It was working normally until CC2022, but problems have been occurring since CC2023.

  9. Damaged capitals

    In Design 19.3 x64
    After pouring in an editable file (MS Word 2010), where the capitals were in the footnotes in the names of the author(s) and editor(s) the capitals did not include the last letter of the last name or the last two letters.
    Earlier versions (3-4 updates) worked fine.
    Selecting the author's name and including capitals does not help. Further the last letter (or two) are not capitals. You have to mark the name and a comma (sometimes even a space) to make the full name capitals.
    It takes more time, more attention to correct all the footnotes.…

  12. When you place an object with ‘Corner Options’ and ‘Text Wrap (Wrap around object shape)’ on a frame, the text moves.

    Checked on Windows 10 Japanese version, InDesign CS5 to CC2024

    1.Create a new document
    2.Create a frame grid with the Horizontal Grid Tool
    3.Insert a few line breaks at the beginning and assign sample text
    4.Draw a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool
    5.Set the shape in Corner Options to anything other than ‘None’
    6.Set the text wrap to ‘Wrap around object shape’
    7.When the drawn rectangle is placed on the frame, it is pushed out by one character

    It’s strange that the text moves even though the rectangle is not placed on top of the text.

    Conditions for the object…

  15. resize

    Just updated to Indesign 2024 (v19), and it appears the method of resizing/scaling an image or shape has changed. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it has changed to. Before this update, cmd-shift/drag the corner would resize an item proportionately. That doesn't work anymore. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

  16. Auto fit Frame Fitting Options Bugged

    As you can see in the example below the container selected is only 6 mm high if I crop it by -x amount, to have a white border around it, it does not do that consistently through all selected containers.

    With this container it crops a fraction of the actual number.

  17. Document Setup -> Adjust Layout only partially works

    I needed to blow up an A4 design to 2000mm high and the Adjust Layout (see image for settings I used) does not produce the same layout. See attached images.

  18. Tools are now blocking me from being able to close open documents in InDesign

    Since updating to the newest version: V 18.5 the tools bar is now blocking the name and the ability to close down the first document. For accessibility reasons, I need the toolbar to remain on the left without blocking access to the document.
