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…

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.

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?

Edit Original not working
After a clean install of Adobe CC NONE of my preferences pulls through from the cloud!! But I could have expected this from Adobe.....
Working in InDesign and wanting to edit a PSD file that is used as a background, in the Links panel, I would select "Edit Original" - You would think Adobe is smart enough to actually set Photoshop as the default editor but as a user I have to manually go and assign a editor to each file type!?!?!?!?!

Bug Buttons and forms
Indesign 2020 - MacOs 10.13.6
in order to make an interactive PDF, I first created my bookmarks and then my buttons.
Yesterday I programmed them all with the "hit target" function to go to the desired page. Everything worked.
Today, I reopen the document and half of my buttons got deprogrammed, they are all with my 1st bookmark on the list.
I was still on the CS6 a week ago and it all worked perfectly!
In order to deliver my client in EMERGENCY, I have to save in idml and bring out my old Mac with CS6 to finalize it.…1 vote -
Placing Word-document imports wrong language for built-in style names
Versions affected:
InDesign CC2021 (and older).Steps:
1. Use a non-english Word-version to make a Word-document.
2. Use built-in styles to style text. For example "Overskrift 1" ("Heading 1" in Norwegian).
3. Save as .docx
4. Save as .doc
4. In InDesign, Place the two Word-documents (including styles/formatting)Expected result:
* Both documents import with the same style names they had in Word ("Overskrift 1").Result:
* The docx places the text with the style name "Heading 1" (wrong)
* The doc places the text with the style name "Overskrift 1" (correct)This makes round-trips via Word problematic. We are…

Submit form
Hi, I don't know if this is a bug with InDesign or Acrobat, but when exporting an Interactive PDF, the "Submit Form" button crashes InDesign. The button appears set up correctly. It's supposed to email the results of the form to an email address, but instead it crashes Adobe Acrobat..

Data merge and EXIF
Presumably this is a bug. If you place a portrait photo from a camera in an InDesign document, InDesign will respect the EXIF information included with the file, and orientate the image accordingly.
However, if you use Data Merge and import photos dynamically via an image field, those same photos will be imported with the incorrect orientation, i.e. it ignores the rotation specified in EXIF. This can be very laborious to correct if not all photos are taken with the same orientation.

Opening ID files from server: Missing required parameter
I've been using my Apple Time Capsule connected to my WiFi-Router as a wireless HD for a couple of years now. Since I updated to Mac OS 11 (Big Sur) I cannot open InDesign (v 16.0.1) files directly from my Time Capsule. I get an error which should translate to something like "Missing required parameter "form" for method "open" (see attached). When I copy the file on my desktop everything works like a charm.

Find text plays an error sound when I press Return, even though it finds the text
I have been working with indesign for a few months and already sent in about 10 bug reports. I feel like everytime I open the program I find a new issue. My colleagues say I have a knack for crashing programs or finding issues. I have a very similar problem with PS. I'm really frustrated with the UI and I can't imagine I'm the only one. I know this is a long shot, but feel free to contact me if you need a bug-spotter, because it feels like I found a lot already. And I have more issues that probably…

Paragraph style outline cuts through text
After reopening chapters I sometimes find the outline of a paragraph going through the text instead of below it. I can't relyably reproduce it, but it has happened several times.

Cannot delete empty pages
I have empty pages at the end of my chapter. There are text frames on them, because they got created automatically. There is no content in the text frames. If I delete the page, it's gone until I scroll, then it re-appears. If I delete the text frame, the page duplicates itself. I've seen the issue described in the forums, but the solution is such a hack.

Reopen last closed/unsaved document(s)
You should be able to reopen the last closed/unsaved document(s) in case you accidentally close a document and click "Don't Save."
The Chrome browser has a similar feature: "reopen closed tabs." And Google Docs allows you to view and restore all previous versions of a document.
With Indesign, if you accidentally click "don't save" the document is gone forever, according to the support person I spoke to. You can't find it in the archive folder and you can't "undo" that either.
I was on deadline and accidentally closed a large car dealer ad with 20 cars in it and in…

metadata delimiter
Hello, This is to report an ID behavior that constitutes a bug (to my thinking). This behavior has existed in every version of ID that I'm familiar with from the beginning through CC 2021. Documentation states that you can use any delimiter character you prefer in File Info. But it doesn't tell you that it will change your delimiters to semicolons as soon as you hit OK on the File Info dialog. This has been a thorn in my side for many years. I produce periodical scientific journals using InDesign as my layout tool. And ID is awesome for that.…
