  3. Windows 10

    In Windows 10, when I close an InDesign file, and open another without closing InDesign completely, my keyboard functionality ceases to work. I have to relaunch InDesign.

    This happened on my previous laptop of 7 years, and now does the same with my new one which is 2 weeks old. I thought it was just because my old laptop was getting old, but since it's doing the same on a new computer, I figured it must be a bug.

    Using the latest Windows 10 20H2 version, latest InDesign to date of 7 Nov 2020 (v 16.0 x64), Lenovo Legion Y540.

  4. Indesign 16.0 crashes when copying text with anchored object

    ID crashes every time I try to copy text that includes an anchored object. As soon as I hit CMD+C, it crashes. I can copy the anchor object separately, but trying to grab it inline with text does not work. I've tried it with multiple different areas of text/objects. This has happened over the last two days, repeatedly, after multiple re-starts and prefs updates. ID 16.0 on MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.7.
    EDIT: It seems to be an issue with one specific object. I can't seem to even copy that one by itself without crashing. I'll keep playing around to…

  6. Problème d'affichage des outils de révision dans In Design

    Bonjour, j'ai testé l'outil révision dans In Design avec mes collègues, mais j'ai un problème lorsque je clique sur "Aller à l'examen" pour voir les modifs en ligne, mon ordinateur (PC récent intel Core i9) ouvre par défaut le navigateur Microsoft Edge, et je ne visualise que les 2 premiers outils de révision (la pipette et l'épingle), je ne vois pas les textes surlignés, barrés ou entourés.

  8. My title text boxes have weird word spacing I can't correct

    I was happy with the last version of Indesign which I used on a non-Mac computer. My brand new uptodate version on the Mac is hopeless and I am in despair that I can't get instant help on my issue!

  9. Indesign Choose Page Size

    Make immediate tabbing between Width and Height without going thru Units.
    Right now goes 1-Width 2-Units 3-Height
    Should tab 1-Width 2-Height --- Units should be separate

  12. Problems in exporting cropped PDF ( Changed frame size )

    Whenever I'm exporting a cropped PDF in InDesign, I am not able to see the cropped area (Outside the frame) , but I am able to select the text and words of the cropped area (Outside the frame). This is very annoying.

    Whenever I'm exporting a PDF I want to export only the content inside the frame not outside the frame.

  14. Text Boxes Appear Empty

    Just downloaded v16.0. Now text boxes in my existing files, which are filled with paragraph style-d text, appear empty for me. Everyone else on my team is able to open the file and see the text that is there. When you try typing into the boxes, nothing happens and the cursor does not move.

  15. Baseline of text shifts

    In the last two versions (Am now at latest v16.0) of InDesign this has been happening to me: my fonts baseline shifts mid word, randomly.

    It follows through in exported PDF.

  20. Upgrade InDesign v 15 to InDesign v 16

    I have an Adobe creative account where I worked on Indesign v 15 a few weeks ago, but for a few weeks now when Indesign v 16 appeared, I can't upgrade to the new version.
    The message is "you do not have a compatible Windows system" although my version of Windows is Windows PRO 10 version 2004.
    Why can't I upgrade?
    I am enclosing the configuration of my computer and the error message that appears to me.
