Crash on Importing Large Word File
InDesign v17.4
macOS 12.6 Monterey
Mac Studio (2022)InDesign is crashing on importing a large (859-page) Word .docx file. The document begins to import for a couple of seconds but then InDesign crashes and there is a 'may be damaged' warning on reopening the file.
Attempts were made to import into a completely new document and multiple variations of import settings have been tried, as has resaving, duplicating and deleting comments and saving the Word file. Smart Text Reflow has also been turned off but this hasn't helped.

Indesign crashes when pressing the hot keys for copy
Indesign 18.0 (Apple Silicon/Intel)
Mac OS Monterey Version 12.6
Macbook Pro (16 Inch, 2021)
Chip Apple M1 MaxBrand new Macbook Pro, brand new installation of Indesign. It crashes every time I press hotkeys for copy. When it re-opens it crashes again. Everything is delayed and slow when I reopen, so I save, close Indesign and re-open. I get a good 5-10 minute run and it crashes again. Crashed 10 times today.

InDesign crashes after making changes to the document after exporting to pdf
InDesign exports to PDF fine. But after looking the pdf over, I usually want to make changes. Making any more than about five changes to an InDesign document after exporting it to PDF will make InDesign crash, regardless of what those changes are. It's happening on every single document since the latest update.

InDesign crashes when deleting pages from multiple files
This doesn't happen on every single file, but it happens probably once a week or so. I will need to delete anywhere from a couple pages to a couple hundred pages in an InDesign file, and when I try to delete those pages, InDesign will freeze and crash.
The option in Preferences to add pages to the end of the Story Editor is not checked on, so that isn't causing it.
The issue will persist even if I save the file as an idml and open in older CC versions. Thank heavens I still have my old CS6, because the…

delete text crash
Opened and made a copy (Save As) of an existing doc in ID 17.4, moved to ID 18 when it became available. Replaced about 2/3 of the existing material with new text or images. Found one specific text box that crashed when I tried to delete it. Tried deleting the text in the box, another crash. Tried deleting text in chunks, and got down to just one letter that was causing the crash.
Fix not required. This is a result of regularly importing Word docs from other people. (The proof is the document recovery notice: the recovery called for links…

Application crashes/closes without submitting error log when trying to re-link or replace a file via drag and drop
I am using the most recent version of indesign (17.4).
When I try to re link a file (a PSD in this instance) or to use drag and drop to change the file to something else, the application completely shuts.
It does not produce an error log and I have even tried regedit to get it to gather a crash dump but no joy.
I have tried to revert to a previous instance of InDesign but this does not fix the issue either.

crash split layout view
InDesign (randomly) crashes when copying/pasting from one view to the other in split layout view.
At this time I'm working on a Windows 10 machine with InDesign 17.3 installed, but I've had this isue already for years, going back to InDesign 14. The problem occured also on Mac machines with Sierra and Catalina installed.I can't timely reproduce the issue, it happens randomly, but always with split layout view in use. Only today InDesign crashed already 7 times while I was working in split layout view.

InDesign crashes when formatting footnotes
Formatting footnotes using InDesign 2022 v 17.1 causes severe lag and eventually the program seizes up and must be ended through task manager. Full details here:
The resolution to the issue was to roll back InDesign to 16.4.1, no such problems with that.
Sample files that caused the crash are here:

Keep Getting an error code 205 when launching InDesign
Bonjour,
Depuis ma dernière mise à jour InDesign 17.3 le code erreur 205 s’affiche, j’ai essayé de le désinstaller, réinstaller… Mais rien à faire. J’ai donc suivi les instructions d’Abobe par rapport au code erreur 205 mais toujours la même chose. Après avoir insisté j’ai enfin réussi à ouvrir InDesign, tout fonctionnait bien. Mais quand j’ai redémarré mon ordinateur je ne pouvais plus utiliser InDesign (code erreur 205).Aujourd’hui même en téléchargeant la version antérieure le code d’erreur 205 s’affiche au démarrage du logiciel Indesign. Le reste des logiciels eux fonctionne bien. Merci de votre aide !1 voteRefer to Adobe Forum thread for resolution. https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/keep-getting-an-error-code-205-when-launching-indesign-2019-and-2020/td-p/10737948

SmartStream crash
We are experiencing an issue where InDesign v21 will crash while we are using HP SmartStream Designer. This occurs when we start creating an imposed job, and will fail at different times with our templates. We notice this occurs predominately with the 6x9 postcard template.
This happens often enough to where we are hesitant to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign, as we are not having this issue with v19. We have tried remaking the template file, which did not fix the issue. Is this a known bug? What steps would be best for us to try next?
