NOTE: I just downloaded the latest InDesign update V. 20.0.1 and it seems to be fixed. But I am leaving this rant here until it works correctly for like a week. LOL!

Previous Rant:
How the heck can I get my work done when InDesign is sooo SLOW!
I am on a production schedule and simply cannot believe how incredibly slow and laggy the program has become.

I have an 18 page illustrated book layout that I am trying to add text to and it takes a full 4 - 6 seconds when I try to copy a line of text from MS word and then place it into ID. Also if I try to click and drag a copy of a text box within Indesign the response time is awful. Switching between the text and selection tools is also a 3 - 6 second lag. I have to be able to nudge things around quickly in my layout work. Waiting on a 3 second lag just to nudge text and center stuff is truly terrible.

I am using v. 19.5.1 (Had to downgrade from v. 20.01 which is worse)
It is the only program open except for Acrobat reader and MS Word. My computer is fine. it's the program.

I pay monthly for these programs- it would be nice if they worked as expected.

Please Please FIX the awful lag.

So many of us use these programs to earn a living. .

I have used Adobe Creative Suite and CC for over 30 years as a graphic designer and this is just ridiculous.
