  2. Tint slider disappears/doesn't work in 16.1

    The tint slider in the swatches window in the newest update for the Mac version of InDesign (16.1) on Big Sur appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. You can type in the tint % box, but the slider is inoperable.

  4. Search box when updating link

    When I want to update a link and press the link button, an "open/find file-window" is opened. I then often want to search or the file using the file name, but when I press the search box in the upper right hand corner this box is suddenly shrunk to a much smaller size which very small font which is thus illegible (this does not happen when I do the same maneuvre in e.g. Windows Explorer). I want the box to remain the same size so I can see the search term I type.
    I tried to attach screenshots in the…

  5. Display QuickBooks Hidden Files and Folders in Windows

    <a href="https://www.quickbookspremiersupport.us/display-hidden-files-and-folders-using-windows/">Windows operating system hides many files and folders</a> by default, in order to prevent the users from deleting or modifying files that shouldn’t be touched at all. However, the user can make windows show these hidden files by changing a single setting.

  6. CC Libraries panel gets stuck a lot!

    When I reboot Indesign it comes back to life but after a short time gets stuck again. Sometimes it just stops responding and sometimes the panel is also enlarged and cropped like the screenshot attached.

  7. resetting preferences doesn't work

    I've tried the Shift-Command-Option-Control key combination when launching InDesign, making sure to hit those keys immediately after launching. I've tried deleting all the preferences and caches files I know about, according to the search results I see online about such files for InDesign. I've tried restarting my computer, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign.

    But the preferences just WILL NOT RESET no matter what I do. Whaaaaa? When using the key combination, I don't get the "reset preferences" dialog. When deleting the files, I restart and find the same setup I had before trying to reset, when the setup…

  9. Big Sur "Half Fold - Print Outside" Bug

    Printing from a Mac with OS Big Sur, Version 16.1 Indesign. Ricoh MP C3504ex with PostScript card.

    The printing option "Half Fold - Print Outside" will result in only 1 print no matter how many copies you choose.

    Example I want 15 copies of a church bulletin I apply the necessary settings and hit print. Instead of getting 15 I only get 1.

    Tested on High Sierra with Indesign V 13.1 and it works perfectly.

  11. double spaces

    I write a lot in InDesign because i layout in the same time. When writing an rewriting there is often a problem with double spaces since you change and move text. The software tells you when words are used twice but not spaces. That would be of great help because they are difficult to recognice!

  13. Print InDesign

    Develop some way for the printer settings to be put in order. I work with 18 HP 9050 printers, both with the same drive and configuration, but in InDesign they get jammed. Example:
    Printer 1 (Standard)
    Printer 5
    Printer 16
    Printer 3
    Printer 8
    Printer 2
    etc...

  15. Overprint Preview switches off when viewing Story Editor

    I view the InDesign file in Overprint Preview.
    I then need to check some text that isn't quite visible on the page.
    Select the text frame and view it in Story Editor so I can ensure it matches what was supplied.
    Once you do this - Overprint Preview switches off.

  17. Changing language setting of paragraph text causes turnovers to change

    Indesign Version 16.1 Windows 10 Home 64-bit

    Given some random body text, the default language setting was English: USA, if I want to change this to any other language like English: UK (for spell checking reasons) it causes the turnovers of certain paragraphs to change.

    Different fonts do the same thing, I primarily tested on a non-type 1 version of Melior and Helvetica but also tried some Adobe Fonts. However, different language settings cause different bits of text to change their turnover, ergo English: USA has different turnovers to English: USA Legal.

    Changing this setting in the Paragraph style or…

  18. cannot select footnote with mouse

    Sometimes, when entering multiple footnotes, I can't select the bottom or next-to-bottom ones with the mouse, as shown in the jpg I just uploaded. File shown in the screenshot also uploaded to my FTP site at http://www.conovers.org/ftp/AppSAR-1-Survival.indd, page 80 is where the problem is. Thank you.

  19. Indesign 16.1 x64

    Spell Checker from time to time switches from checking a story to checking the entire document. This is a pain when I'm working in a large document with hundreds of stories. Is there a way to make Spell Checker default to checking story?
