Smart Quotes in Footnote
Smart Quotes in Footnote
I use Indesign in a Mac mini. The automatic typographical smart quotes do not work when I type in the footnotes i.e. During normal typing in a page a straight single or double quote is automatically changed to smart quotes. But in the footnote it does not seem to do it automatically.

Variable font doesn't...vary.
I just installed the new Macklin variable fonts from Monotype. They work as expected in Illustrator, and the "regular" cut works as expected in InDesign. However, the Macklin Sans font dosen't work well in InDesign: the prebuilt weights are functional, but when one varies the axis sliders, they seem to have no effect. Bug in the font or in InDesign?

Perplexed translation – Czech version of InDesign CC
Hello, please correct Czech UI of InDesign CC - InDesign preferences, Text panel, first line:
InDesign CS6: "Používat typografické uvozovky" (it is correct, it means "Use typographic quotation marks", the grammar form is consistent with UI)
InDesign CC2020: "Použijte Typographer’s & Quotes" (it means nothing, it is a mixture of Czech and English words, the grammar form is not consistent with UI because it is using the imperative form instead of the infinitive). The closest translation to English would be "Use typografovy a uvozovky!"
2 votesThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2022(v17.0.0.96). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

"Balance Ragged Lines" does nothing
When activating it on the Paragraph panel or in the Paragraph styles, there's no change in the paragraph at all.
I'm using MacOS 10.15.4 (19E287), and the latest version of InDesign 15.0.2.
2 votesWhen Composer (in Paragraph panel flyout menu) is set to Adobe Paragraph Composer, “Balance Ragged Lines” works correctly. It won’t work with Adobe Single-Line Composer.

I can't type lower case c but can type other lower case letters.
I can't type lower case c but can type other lower case letters. For example when I type pickle I get pikle. It also switches the font.

Font list on wrong side of scree
Hi all. I have no idea what happened. I have Indesign 15.0.2 x64.
I have been working in Indesign daily and this morning, all of the sudden things seem all jacked.Mainly, which I cannot figure out, the font list for years has been on the left hand side of the screen when working with the text tool. Today it is on the right side of the tool bar. I reset to my preferred workspace, nada. I selected Essentials Classic and same.
What happened and how do I put it back? Essentials Classic should not have a different layout. InDesign…

Mapping errors of PDF comments for deletion when applied to list items (CC 2020)
PDF comments for deletion of list items get wrongly mapped to InDesign when importing to CC 2020; e.g. include the last character from previous list item if bullet point / numbering was included in selection to be deleted, or may be mapped to a completely wrong part of another list in the document (Although this is likely due to confusion by text duplication, it shouldn't happen nevertheless).
Haven't tested with older versions of ID.

When in text tool, command-a does not select all the Text in the Box, but all boxes on the page instead
When I am in text tool (and not just switched there but have been there for a longer time) and klick into a text box, and it CLEARLY has been selected and the curser is there, pressing command-a to select all the text in this box selects ALL the boxes on this page, even though the arrow has not been selected and the curser was already visible.
This happens so often that I am nearing madness with this bug. Is there a way to get this back to being normal again?

When working over VNC, often Tools cannot be chosen
When I connect to my Mac over macOS-VNC, I can use everything as needed. Unfortunately sometimes Indesign shows the hand and lets me use only the hand to move the page, although I clicked the Arrow e.g. and it is selected. I the cannot select Text, change sizes of boxes etc. The only remedy is to reconnect via VNC, but not every time that works. I do not have this with any other program than indesign, so I am starting my journey of finding the root of this here.

PDF export default setting [Smallest File Size] creates a HUGE file (700MB for a 4 page document)
When I want to export a PDF, it is 200 times bigger than I expected. Regardles of if I manually change the compression to a minimum or select any of the preselects [Smallest File Size]. A four page pdf always exports as a +700MB file.

InDesign Suffers Major Performance Issues When InCopy Files Are Linked To .indd File
I use InDesign a lot for production art. Mostly I layout text and images for product manuals that range between 110 - 250 pages. It runs like a champ on both my Dell XPS 8930 and iMac 2019. Both machines are robust with 32 Gb of ram. However, once I convert text and graphics to InCopy files, I see a huge drop in machine performance. Doing the slightest things like updating the ICMA / ICML file will hang or crash InDesign. Even saving the file can take 2 minutes. I've had 3 instances where the InDesign file got corrupted from…

WE MUST USE A SHARED SERVER
Files can randomly corrupt when using a shared server? Every respectable business uses a shared server! We can't put confidential info on employee desktops as is recommended by Adobe because they can't support a shared server! At minmum if you can't support a shared server then make back up files which can be accessed if a file is corrupt. And no, your recovery option doesn't work when a back up file is corrupt. I've just missed a deadline, spent a ton of money on lost work and need to recreat all the lost work. Thanks Adobe........for nothing!!! Adapt to your…

Table rows distribution
Hi,
I ask the question.
The table inserted in a text box does not allow me to generate lines that exceed the text box to continue in the box linked on the next page. How come?
And how come a row of the table must be fully visible only on 1 page and not break on several pages?Thank you

None Master issue
I don't understand how the None Master works. If I create a document with no margin and no columns, then go to the A Master and add margin and columns, sometimes the None Master will delete the margins and columns, and sometimes it seems to adopt the margins and columns from the A Master.
I would recommend that the None Master ALWAYS delete all the columns and margins so it's a blank page. Or at least consistently return to the columns and margins of the A Master, but blank would be better.
