I'm working with linked endnotes in InDesign 2018 (version 13.1), but my file originated in InDesign 2015 (I skipped 2017). I have already saved the document as an InDesign 2018 file but seem to be having problems importing a document with linked endnotes.

I'm starting with an old InDesign file because I'm working on volume 2 of a multi-book series and want to maintain all my old styles. I don't know if that's relevant, but I have worked successfully placing linked endnotes from word in previous books already. In this one, the endnote references appear to have links but when I click on "Go to Endnote Text" from the reference point, my document crashes. When I try to add an endnote point, my document also crashes. I think the endnotes exist somewhere because there is a paragraph style and a few character styles that I can't seem to find in the document but apparently exist somewhere.

I don't actually know if this problem is an issue with the original Word document or with InDesign but I'm really hoping this issue can be resolved before I have to import the other chapters in this book.

Thanks!

The last cell in a table is a “dead” cell as far as Track Changes is concerned. If you copy cells from another row and paste them in the last table row, if the selection you are pasting into contains the last cell in the table, the pasted text will not be marked as a change. Likewise, inserting a new row in a table as the last row via drag and drop isn’t marked as an insertion at all. Inserting a new column in a table as the last column via drag and drop is tracked as an insertion for each cell in the column, except for the bottom cell.

I recognize that there are some limitations with Track Changes in tables, but the Track Changes feature should work consistently whether or not the bottom-right cell of the table is selected.

InDesign CC 2018.1, Mac OS X 10.12.6

I'm using InDesign 13.1 for a simple 12 page booklet (see attached)

First issue: ID was doing background work on a file for about 4 days and then ID crashed. Now whenever I open the program it asks me if I want to do "Automatic Recovery" for the file. If I click YES or CANCEL the program crashes. If I click NO the program stays open and I can continue to work. But if I go to export the 12 page booklet to PDF it crashes.

I have: (1) uninstalled and reinstalled ID; (2) tried to export the file to a JPEG (which did NOT crash ID); (3) tried to export a different file to PDF (ID crashed);

There's nothing unusual about fonts or graphics here. My ID skills are very VERY basic. Thoughts? Help? PLEASE?

Excel filter rejects custom Cell Range for 26-column sheets (.xlsx-only)

Steps to reproduce the issues:
1. Create a new document.
2. Select File > Place, check Show Import Options, select attached Columns_26.xlsx file.
3. Note nonstandard default Cell Range: A1:A@10 (should be A1:Z10).
4. Enter custom (valid) Cell Range "A1:E5"

Expected result:
No error and a table containing cells A1 through E5.

Actual result:
Error message, "You have not entered a valid 'Cell Range'. (See attached screenshot.)

This error is given for any sheet whose right-most column is a multiple of 26 (so Z, AZ, BZ, etc.). Place the attached Columns_52.xlsx with range "A1:E5", for example.

Adding/removing a column (attached Columns_27.xlsx file) avoids the error.

Versions of Adobe InDesign:
CS6 through CC 2018.0, Windows and macOS

Cursor Direction when typing Arabic or other RTL languages. in Middle Eastern version ONLY.

1. All Middle Eastern versions (English يدعم العربية)




2. Type Arabic text. Place the cursor within text. Hold "Shift" key and click on right arrow key on the keyboard to select/highlight text. Cursor moves left and select next character on the left while clicking on right arrow.




3. To select a character to the left of the cursor, we should hold (Shift+left arrow) To select a character to the right of the cursor, we should hold (Shift+right arrow)




4. What actually is happening now and for over 20 years when we had Adobe PageMaker ME and Adobe Illustrator ME is the opposite cursor behavior to the what we're trying to select. We hold (Shift+right arrow) cursor will move and select text to the left, we hold (Shift+left arrow) cursor will move and select text to the right.

CC2018, Windows 10, latest update as of 01/18/18, x64 system with 12GB RAM. I often have to close and reopen documents or InDesign itself for shortcuts and some keys to work. There does not seem to be a common cause or specific file(s) that sets it off and it may or may not happen to all open documents if more than one is open. Generally closing the document and reopening it helps, but there have been times where I have to restart the program for anything to work. The issue includes any shortcuts and sometimes keys such as the arrow keys when trying to edge a graphic or text box over. Generally, I am able to type in the file name if I am trying to save my work before I close the program, but there have been times that my keyboard is disabled there as well and I have to save over what I have open, rely on the auto-backup file, or duplicate the file in Explorer and rename it so I don't lose the original file. This has not been an issue in any other programs except InDesign and has only been in the past few weeks. The crashing since the last update has subsided, but this issue has not. I would love to know how to fix this.
