nested hyperlinks
Currently, hyperlinks in InDesign documents don't survive import/nesting into other InDesign documents. It would be great if they did -- it's the only thing preventing me from nesting pages from a "base" document into multiple localized versions...

Editing Text Causes First Line to Move Down
If you edit text, the top line drops down (a little bit? not sure how much), as if the text frame has inset spacing from the top.

I just want to be able to close bar so it isn't in my way

Fix it!
Footnote symbols at the beginning and at the end of the footnote I can't delete them nor the space that associated with the damn blasted symbol.
It's just a mess. Endnotes footnotes it's a horror show to deal with them. I wasn't before but with this update---truly a horror show.
2 votesHi,
Thanks for mentioning this. Do you mean the blue braces at the end and start of endnote text?
Those are just markers that depict the start and end of endnote text. This will not be printed or exported. helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/using/endnotes…To adjust the spaces, please explore and set the Type→Document Endnote options.
Please let us know if this helps you out.

Based on paragraph styles have issues when created by script
When creating styles via a script, styles that are based on other styles are not overwriting style attributes properly. i.e.:
p - font: Arial, size: 10.5, leading: 13, indent 8
p-first: based-on, p, indent 0
The indent may or may not actually be set to 0 if those two styles are created by a script. If I fix the indent manually in InDesign, any of the styles that are based off of p-first would update properly.2 votes -

Indesign 2018 is a disaster, full of bugs and crashes at any time.
This was a good program, but now it's just a misery. Costs both time and money.
I will work with older versions in the future and hope that any new player will find a better software.It would not be wrong with a phone number on the website, but you're probably ashamed.

XML structure
I'm working with a client that needs to use InDesign and InCopy to create documents that are marked up with XML. After relinking stories or updating graphics in InCopy, it destroys any special structure set up with the XML. For example, I have a handful of charts that are nested under a parent tag which is then nested another parent tag. Inserted a chart into this frame in InCopy--saved and closed. Opening this file in InDesign, all nested XML is blown open.

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.

InDesign fails to launch due to "Error: 0xc000012f"
For the last week or so, I have not been able to open InDesign. It seems it is the only Adobe programme causing me problems.
I've tried uninstalling and installing InDesign - nothing happens. I've sent a few bug reports, but haven't received any answer to how I get the programme to work.2 votesMany internal as well as external factors can cause the InDesign application to crash/freeze/hang.
Error 0xc000012f means that you lack the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable files which are prerequisites of the InDesign application.
A few workarounds are listed at Fix crash issues with InDesign.

OpenType All Small Caps disappear when switching dictionary to German
I have a text that uses the OpenType feature “All Small Caps” in a lot of places. It is currently set to use the English USA dictionary. I am working on translating this text into German, and so I want to use the German dictionary for it. When I try this, all instances of All Small Caps turn to regular lower-case letters. I tried a couple of different dictionaries, some (e.g. other English and Dutch) will retain the SC and others (e.g. None) will make them disappear.
