Cross reference formats
Indesign 13.1, Windows
When editing a cross reference format there is a button to insert special characters such as "opening simple quotation mark" and "closing simple quotation mark" which should look like ,this'. Instead, the resulting opening character is an asterisk (*) and the closing character is a plus (+) -> *this+1 vote -

storing files on desktop
Not an idea, but a problem...InDesign support is telling me that I need to store my customer's book (a catalog) on my desktop AND all the associated images...that's impossible...there are over 1300 images in this 180 page book.
ID crashed three consecutive times today trying to open the book to change the dates which appear on the master pages...I'm using the most updated version of creative cloud in a windows 10 environment...
Any ideas of how to fix this? InDesign seems like a very unstable software to have come from a premier (and premium) software company like Adobe.1 voteTo identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.
We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding : Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.
We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020.0.1 (if you’re not already on it). It contains a lot of stability fixes.
If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)

Idml export issues
I have a file that won't export a fully formed .idml file. Here's my setup.
MacOS Mojave 10.14.4
InDesign 14.0.2.324Steps to reproduce: export or save one particular file as .idml format; open resulting .idml file.
Expected result: file should open as a new document.
Actual result: an error dialog pops up saying the file cannot be opened, with the error 'not well formed.'
This only occurs with one particular file, but it occurs on any Mac used to export the file, and with InDesign version 14.0.3
I have also tried to open the CC 2019 file in CC 2018,…

Placed Illustrator files do not show transparency correctly on GPU Preview
When placing an .ai file with transparency, the file renders without any alpha channel at all in GPU Preview. Switch to CPU Preview, and the .ai files render correctly. Transparency should be shown in both modes, right?

3 types of consistent crashes during past 3 months
Using version 14.0.2 x64 under Windows 10.
Working on a 356-page book. Three types of crashes occur consistently:
1 - When I export to PDF.
2 - When I add pages, usually in increments of 10.
3 - When I switch between single-page layout and 2-page spread layout.After every crash, when I go to open the file, inDesign offers to auto recover the file. When I say yes, InDesign warns me that the file might be corrupt. I always open anyway. After 3 months working on this book, I can't afford to start over, so I hope for the…

Macintosh InDesign V14.0.2. Freezes everytime I open it. Mojave operating system.
I can't use InDesign as it freezes everytime I open it. I have a brand new Mac Mini with Mojave. I have removed 14.0.2 and am loading an older version that actually worked - 13.1. Please let me know when 14.0.2 is working.

Italics not showing in InDesign CC2019 - but does in all other versions
I have a .docx file that when brought into InDesign CC2019 (14.0.2) the italics do not show. The italics show in all other versions of InDesign. This is worrying for when we work on long documents. The error still occurs if the file is changed to a .doc file.
1 voteHi,
Can you please tell me what part of text in the word file is not imported as italics in Indesign?
The italics portion in the word file are:
Australian Book Review
H-France Review
je ne sais quoiall of which are imported as italics in InDesign
Can you tell me what am i missing?
Thanks

Pasted text acquires overprint attribute
Copying a number of items from one document to another, all of the text that did not have an outline had its overprint attribute turned on, despite being off in the source file. It was particularly annoying to fix because most of the text was white (Paper swatch), for which the overprint setting is uneditable: I had to turn all the white text to a different colour, uncheck the overprint, then make it white again. (Using InDesign v14.0.2 on Mac OS v10.12.6.)
IMO there should never be a reason to overprint items using the Paper swatch anyway, so this attribute…

InCopy document crashes all the time while saving or checking in a document.

ID 14.0.2: Fonts menu STILL collapses while browsing through the list of fonts.
Despite upgrading to ID 14.0.2, the same bug happens as described there: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/35736199-typekit-or-adobe-fonts-or-fonts-menu-collapses-w
The bug happens with my personnal font collection. So far I haven't used TypeKit. I'm using FontXplorer 6.0.6. Last High Sierra version on a iMac 3,1 Ghz Late 2011.
On top of that, the font selection tool skips some fonts while browsing the fontlist.
This is an ABSOLUTE nightmare.
Thanks for your help.

InCopy becomes very slow when a cross-linked document is closed
InCopy 14.4, MacOS Mojave 10.14.4
I work on an InCopy document that was assigned to me from InDesign. I want to create a cross reference to another document. Hereto I open that document, check out the content, switch back to my working document and create the references.
After this I close the referred document and this freezes InCopy. What I see is that the CC-synchronization starts to blink constantly in my top bar. Every mouse click or cursor movement takes appr. 45 seconds to take effect.
This is unworkable.1 vote -
Text selection selects whole document AND cursor jumps to top of document after saving
InCopy 14.0. MacOs Mojave 10.14.4
I work in a icml-document which was assigned to me from InDesign. It contains references to other documents and a lot of comments (for the designer).
After I have made the third or later comment, it becomes impossible to select text. InCopy selects the text from the top of the document upto the point where I click the mouse. When I try Option+Shift+Arrow, the cursor jumps to the top of the document. I can save the document, after which the issue is away until I have made a few extra comments, but which also puts…1 vote -
