  1. InDesign 15.1.4 / MacOS 10.13.6 / Auslassen von verbundenen Textrahmen

    Bei kleinsten Änderungen am Fließtext werden sporadisch einzelne verbundene Textrahmen übersprungen! Und zwar im gesamten folgenden Textabschnitt! Ständig muss das Dokument auf leere Textrahmen geprüft werden. Das ist bei 500 Seiten kein Spaß und macht ein professionelle Arbeiten nahezu unmöglich!
    Gibt es eine Lösung?

    trnaslate.google:
    With the smallest changes to the continuous text, individual connected text frames are sporadically skipped! And throughout the following section of text! The document must be constantly checked for empty text frames. That's no fun with 500 pages and makes professional work almost impossible!
    Is there a solution?

  2. Opening (book) document of same name but different path overwrites existing open file

    Finalizing a book with 15 chapters, each about 15 - 30 pages (total 505 pages in book). Have several different versions, in separate folders; all with same file names and book names. Recently discovered that some files in the "FINAL" folder had been overwritten with earlier versions.

    Is is sporadic and I have not been able to fully duplicatie. Looks like if A/chapter1 is open and then B/chapter1 is opened, A/chapter1 is overwritten with the content from B/chapter1. Something also occurs that causes A/chapter1 to get flagged as "possibly damaged" when next opened.

    I cannot tell if this occurs only…

  8. Chinese character page number rule needs to following Chinese grammar

    Chinese page number grammar after 10 is not following Chinese grammar.
    For example, page 21 in Chinese is written as 第二十一页, instead of 第二一页.

    It's horrifying seeing Chinese is been butched likt this.

  9. page disappearing

    Page has disappeared from behind objects. As if the artboard has disappeared, the page is gone but the objects remain. This has affected 20 pages or so of my document. It even exports in PDF as a blank page. I have attached images of what it looks like. This is a disaster and needs to be rectified.

  12. Script label changes not saved

    With this post I would like to report a bug again.

    When opening an existing document, selecting an object, adding a script label and saving it again, the changes are not saved! When also changing something else, all changes are saved.

    When only adding a script label and saving a document, the script label will not be added.

    This bug is more then 10 years old.

    Please fix this. Thank you.

  13. 추가 기능 건의

    윤곽선 만들기 기능에서,

    현재는 하나 하나 선택을 해서 윤곽선을 만들어 주고 있습니다.

    바로 이 부분에서,

    윗첨자로 바꾸어준 부분들이 많이 있을 때,

    이러한 윗첨자들을 한꺼번에 선택을 해서,

    한꺼번에, 윤곽선 만들기가 진행이 되어서,

    한꺼번에 윤곽선으로 만들어지는 기능이 있으면 좋겠습니다.

    이 부분이 가능해지도록 추가 기능이 설치되면 좋겠습니다.

    또 마스터 페이지 기능에서

    현재는 마스터 페이지 기능을 해체해서,

    한 페이지씩 윤곽선 만들기를 해 주고 있는데,

    이 부분에서도

    한꺼번에 윤곽선 만들기가 기능해지면 좋겠습니다.

  14. Sporadic, haphazard emboldening of footer font on document pages

    Adobe InDesign v17.0.1
    2020 Mac Mini, Apple M1 chip, 16 GB memory
    macOS: Big Sur, V11.5.2

    I have a multipage document with a folio and page number in the footer. The footer text is a regular weight Helvetica Neue LT Std (OT) font, and the folios (page numbers) are bold; the bold is nested into the paragraph style for the footers with a GREP designation. The footer text boxes are NOT active on the pages but are linked to the parent pages. Expected result: all footers match the font weight of the footer in the parent page to which they’re…

  15. Big Bug?With the same page size and margins, there is an offset after A is moved to B?

    A file and B file have the same page size and margins.
    I moved pages 1-8 of A to page 2 of B. As a result, starting from page 3, the horizontal position would shift.
    They should all be right in the version, but they don't.

    However, if you move all the pages (pages 1-17) of file A to the second page of B at one time.
    If it is correct.

    why is that?
    The reason for the coordinates? I didn't find the reason
    I tried: it has something to do with the chapter

    File is here

  16. Child masters don't update

    I have child masters that are based on a parent master. When I update margins etc on the parent, the child masters are not inheriting those settings as they do in InDesign 2021. The only resolution appears to be changing 'based on' to something else, and then going back and changing 'based on' to its original parent.

  20. Just upgraded and the first file I open is duplicating lines and parts dissappear

    Scrolling is impossible - I get duplicated lines and parts of the document page disappears. In order to correct I have to do command "0" and the problem clears, but the second I try to scroll to the next set of pages it does the same thing
