Find/Replace on a page
Find can be restricted to Document / All documents and stories.
How about a restriction to the current page, or a page range?
And maybe to the visible part of the document, or 'nearby' the current work area?In large documents the range of search can be confusing and a cause of errors.
Another use of this is to quicly find a word or phrase when editing / reviewing.

Endnotes not accessible in InCopy
I finally figured out where the endnotes disappeared to when I imported a document from Word, only to find out that they will not link to the story text boxes and are inaccessible from InCopy. This adds all sorts of problems to our workflow.

Please update to the latest version available to you via Creative Cloud Desktop application.Thanks,

Anomalous character missing glyph in the Story editor – Serious file problems
I report a bug regarding an InDesign document of an anomalous character that is found in the "Story editor", which has already been reported in older versions of Adobe Indesign.
(OS version: BigSur 11.3.1)
(Adobe InDesign version: 16.2)As you can see in the examples that I attach, the text presents problems and I believe it is caused (or highlighted) by the missing glyph signs in each line of the "story editor", which does not appear to exist in the text.
The problem is not solved by making the file idml.
I tried to fix it by copying the text…5 votes -
paste
I'm running High Sierra (10.13.1) and InDesign CC 2018 (November release), and MS Office 2017 (Version 15.40). I have been trying to copy text from Word into text frames in InDesign, and for the past few days, every time I hit Command-V in InDesign, the program immediately freezes and stops responding. No matter how long I wait, the only way out is to force quit.

em dash
InDesign treats two words separated by an em dash as a single word when applying styles. For example, if you create a paragraph style which includes a nested style to set the first three words of the paragraph in small caps, InDesign will set the first four words in small caps if the first three words include an em dash.
An em dash should be treated as punctuation, not a connector. Words separated by an em dash are are separate words and should be treated as such.

equation
Hi,
Questions from VilniusTECH University about equations printing problems. We have many equations in books and journals and when exporting to PDF, they sometimes lose characters. The most interesting thing is that equations prints once with errors but the next time exporting without errors, although no corrections were made. Equations are formated with Mathtype in a MS Word file and imported to InDesign 19.0.1 become non-editable EPS files. Changing equations fonts, PDF export profiles or Indesign versions does not help. MathMagic is not suitable for us because cannot automatically format questions with our profiles in MS Word file. Please see…

I usually use the inDesign to import the created word file.
However, if I check the Preserve Styles and Formatting from Text and Tables in indesign cc 2019 and import the file, the formatting of the text will be deleted.
This does not happen with Indesign cc 2018, but this will continue to happen in this 2019 upgrade.
I ask you to correct this problem.1 voteHi,

I have used the below:
Find What:

Change to:

Change Format:
Bullet_Txt (paragraph style)
Required Action:
Need to implement the paragraph style at the as-well-as eliminate the bullet with tab.
When I replace by option "change" one by one all the instances change clearly
While using "change All" option, the initial letter of roman word followed by italic word changes to italics vice versa.

column break
Adobe InDesign 2020, macOS Mojave
If you have a very long word or a URL without breaks, if that is inserted into a narrow column, so that it fills the entire column, at the point where hyphenation is forced, a column break also occurs. Obviously, that's wrong.1 vote -
UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect
UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect.
e.g the word 'customize' appears in the story. In UK English this would be 'customise'. The spell checker should recognise this as incorrect, but does not.
Spell check language has been set to UK English.
