Import Word file - cannot set 'Import as Static Text' as Default Preset
When I import a Word document I want the option 'Import as Static Text' ticked all the time.
The problem is that if I tick 'Import as Static Text' and make it a new Default Preset, InDesign remembers this until I quit InDesign and then relaunch it. The relaunched InDesign doesn't remember it - it remembers the Preset name, but it doesn't remember to tick 'Import as Static Text'.
This happens in CC2019 and CC2020. Could you please fix it so that the Preset you make remembers to keep 'Import as Static Text' ticked all the…

Highlighting text in a table does not highlight the corresponding text in the story editor
CC2020
When I highlight text in a table, I would expect the same text to appear highlighted in the story editor. Instead, the story editor jumps to the beginning of the document.
Kind regards

Pasting Word tracked changes text keeps the old text as well as changes
When 'Text Only' is selected in Preferences/Clipboard Handling, pasting from a Word doc that has tracked changes results in the old edits (such as deletions) being retained in the pasted text in InDesign.
If this isn't a bug, perhaps there's a way to make these ramifications more obvious to the user.

Smart Text Reflow next page - Add Pages Automatically
The Smart Text Reflow to the next page is not performed if there is an empty text frame on the page. Please use the sample file and perform the following steps:
- Assign ParagraphStyles 3 to the "paragraph 3" -> Paragraphs 3 and four go into the overset (undo action)
- Delete the text “paragraph 4,” not the text frame, assign ParagraphStyles 3 -> Paragraph three goes into the next page (undo action)
- Delete the text “paragraph 4” and also the text frame, assign ParagraphStyles 3 -> A new page is created, paragraph 3 begins on the new, next…1 vote -
InDesign 2020: crashing, undo doesn't work, missing fonts, text wrap is broken, so many bugs
The Undo bug is back. I tried to undo some text (in a table) and it reverted the document back to the previous save and then crashed.
On re-opening, ID complains that it can't find my installed fonts that I used in the document. They show up in the document, it just complains that they are not there. These are fonts that I bought and installed, so I know they are available.
I have also been having problems with text wrap not working half the time. I set a box (I've tried both image and text boxes) to text wrap…

Thaana text properly composed in 14.0.3 messed after converting to 15.0
Weird changes in the text after converting file to 15.0. (Upon opening a file with Thaana text) see attached images.
Diacritics completely messed up AFTER recomposing (change alignment or reapply World-Ready composer) See attached images.
Cannot use double/triple-clicking to select text composed in the new composer. (can select paragraphs already composed in the previous version, if no changes are made to that paragraph.)
To see it in a new document: create a new document, copy and paste Thaana text (ex: Dhivehi Wikipedia), apply World-Ready composer.

InDesign CC2019 - faux bold text issue when exporting pdf.
Only the pages with text+jpg are exported properly.
The pages with any other image type with some transparency, i.e. psd, ai, even png, have bold text after exporting to pdf.It's an old issue, coming back every now and then in many InDesign editions in the past. So we all should know how to deal with it, shouldn't we? Well, here is the rub. The trick with the text placed on a separate layer on the top doesn't work anymore. Nothing works, actually. It's a major bug. A reason to downgrade to the last correct version. I needed to…

Text Anchors For Hyperlinking Keep Changing To Different Anchors
After manually changing every single text anchor back to the proper destination and saving, the text anchors have now changed to different locations or have been removed completely. This is a huge bug that has caused me to waste a week of time.

Can't type letter "n" in text boxes
For some reason I can't type the letter "n" in text boxes in indesign v 17.3 on Windows 10.
In some text boxes, typing "n" does not generate the letter. In tables, typing "n" can sometimes change the cell style or paragraph style, and does not generate the letter.
I don't have caps lock or a stuck control / alt key ... Everything else is working fine.

Message about pasting text with endnotes shows up one paste later
Pasting text with endnote(s) does not show a message. You instead get that message the next time you paste an object, even if that object is not a text box containing endnote(s).
There is also a grammar error in the message, where the word "and" should be ", which" — and there is no period at the end of the sentence.
This has been in the last few versions of InDesign. I am using 15.0.1 now.
Reproduce:
- Copy text with endnote(s) to the clipboard
- Paste text into a new thread
- Text pastes properly; a new page is…2 votes -
Color Profile Warnings when copying Objects and Text within the same Document
Mismatching color profile warnings are very helpful when copying objects between documents with different profiles, which is why this is an always-on option for me.
However, for some time now, such warnings seem to pop up randomly when I copy text between documents with the same profile settings, and sometimes even when copying text from one text box to another within the same document.
My understanding is that this is a bug, as live text in an INDD cannot have different profiles. Is there a way to avoid these warnings and still get them when they are necessary (copying between…

"Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden" not working
InDesign CC most current version 18.5
1. Add text frame
2. Add overlapping object
3. Add text wrap to object
4. Set layer option to "Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden"
- Expect that text wrap will be suppressed when I hide the object layer that has text wrap applied
- Text wrap is still applied when the object layer is hidden, whether applying the layer option first or last, creating a new document and starting over, or trying each text wrap option1 vote -
Copying text frames results in pasted PDF
Copying text frames from older versions of InDesign (example 2022 to 2025 – v.20.1) results in a pdf frame, meaning the text is uneditable. The only workaround I have discovered is to copy the text itself, paste it into the new document, and reformat the frame. I believe the discussion posted here - https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-locking-text-frames-with-old-id-files/m-p/15147987 – is referring to the same issue.

Text to Image (Beta) pop-up comes up CONSTANTLY
This won't go away. He keeps popping up and then dominates the mouse/command prompts. The 'got it" button is hidden below the my icon dock and it disappears before I can hit it and if I do hit it, it keeps popping up anyways.
