  2. Impossible to type the dimensions of a document

    When you want to personalize your own dimension on a document, you cannot just click on the sizes and enter the number, you have to put the cursor, then errase and then write, it is not convenient at all !

  4. Indesign exporting PNG, colours look off

    Trying to export some PNGs with RGB colour for web but every time I export the colours look CMYK. Had no issues yesterday, haven't tweaked with any settings since. I saw they fixed the yellow streak bug but maybe now this is a new issue. Anyone else?

    Left, what it should look like. Right, what it keeps exporting as.

  5. Looking for InDesign 2020 to install on new MacBook Air

    Hi there, I just got a new MacBook Air and searching my CC for Versions of InDesign 2020. I need it to work together with the publisher app «Wood Wing Studio» which doesn't work on InDesign 2021. But my Creative Cloud only show's me Versions to intall from InDesign 16.0 upwards. I also had InDesign 2020 installed on my old MacBook Pro running on Big Sur and had no problems with it. Is there any solution for this? Thanks!

  6. Find/Change

    Sometimes it seems that the FIND-dialog box is not opening. I had to restart my Mac mini m1. Then the function came back. Just restarting inDesign did not help.

  8. Colour Theme Overlay tool - floating palette does not disappear once tool deselected

    The colour theme overlay tool does not disappear once a different tool from the tool palette has been chosen. In addition, the popup to select different perceptual palettes (Bright, Colourful etc) does not always appear or appears erratically.

  9. Text wrap select subject or user-modified path causes hang ID 16.1

    Using ID v 16.1 on an iMac running Catalina.
    To reproduce: I just have to touch any image that has select subject or user-modified path text wrap applied and attempt to move it or modify it in any way. One image just caused the hang by existing, I couldn't work on the file until I deleted it.
    Expected result: For the text to wrap around the image without causing program to hang.
    Actual result: endless beach ball spinning until I force quit and try again.

    I just spent the entire day trying to work on a large project (200 pages…

  10. Share for Review broken in Chrome for Reviewers InDesign 16.1

    InDesign 16.1
    MacOS BigSur M1 Chip

    share for review worked for me in Chrome from my own account, but when I shared it with another user, the link did not allow them to open the review in their version of Chrome. Firefox and Safari worked fine.

  12. Edit -> Duplicate - keyboard shortcut broken

    It has been broken for years actually, you cannot use a keyboard shortcut to duplicate. It's in every version of InDesign for years.

    Easily reproducible - select an object and try to duplicate via keyboard shortcut (command - option - shift - D).

  13. File Info > Raw Data panel doesn't allow to select text and search

    The File Info > Raw Data panel stopped working as expected:

    -The search field doesn't work
    -It's impossible to even select text in the panel

    I'm pretty sure it worked earlier - so something probably got broken recently.

  18. bullet numbering not resetting

    To make numbered lists automatically reset between body copy text, I set body copy to be a numbered list without any numbering at level 1.

    Numbered lists are level 2. With tick box 'reset numbers at this level after Any Previous Level'

    But the numbered list doesn't get reset when there are body copy between.

    It only resets if the level 1 paragraph style is actually numbering.
