  2. Incopy hyperlink Ok Button Grayed Out

    When trying to add a hyperlink to a page in InCopy, the Ok button is grayed out. All the other Link To Options appear to work fine, it is only the Page option that is graying out the Ok button.
    InDesign is allowing me to link it with no problem.
    I'm using InCopy & InDesign 2024, but also opened an old document that was done in the 2023 versions and noticed the same issue.

  3. Ocultar páginas

    Hola, con la nueva actualización de indesign, podemos ocultar páginas, y al exportar, estas no salen en el pdf. Esto está muy bien, pero ¿qué pasa si tenemos numeración automática y exportamos a pdf? pues que se mantiene la numeración y esto es un problema. Debería de haber una casilla de verificación o algo similar para que no enumere las páginas ocultas al exportar y así saldría perfecta la numeración sin saltar de páginas.

  4. Missing feature: Embed INDDs placed in an INDD

    So far, you can embed sort of all linked file types in an INDD, but not other INDDs. This should be possible to save a 100% fixed snapshot of a document.

  6. Unlink word document from Links - it used to work in Id2023

    I am missing the "UNLINK" button (right click on word document in Links). I just checked the same documents in both versions 2023 and 2024. In new version the button is missing.

  7. Fonts not previewing correctly when choosing different font from menu

    Running InDesign v19.0, but had exactly the same issue in previous versions -

    If I want to swap out an existing font for a new one in a text block in my project, the font does not preview instantaneously or correctly when I am scrolling through the Character menu. Sometimes, the font disappears completely, leaving only black blocks to preview. When I press return the text block does update to the new font but not being able to live preview is making it extremely hard to make design decisions and also see if the chosen font will fit the space…

  11. Proximity and distance from a display in InDesign

    I have a problem with my InDesign.
    When I want to zoom there is no with the mouse wheel. It moves the display further away from me and not closer. In Photoshop and the other programs it does work for me, but not in InDesign.

  15. Stripes in objects that have transparency

    Dear Indesign community,

    I have installed the latest version of Indesign and always have these stripes in those objects that have transparency. The level of transparency does not matter. I set the screen display performance to the highest quality. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Indesign, but nothing has changed.These stripes can no longer be seen in the exported PDF.I use Windows 11, 64 bit, an Asus G814JV laptop with a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13980HX 2.20 GHz processor. 32GB RAM. And an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. Indesign version 19.0
    I don't have the option to turn GPU performance…

  17. optical margin alignment

    InDesign 19.0 (2024): Optical margin alignment does not work (well), contrary to the previous versions. The problem doesn not depend on a certain font, it is a general problem.

  19. Indesign (Beta) only opens a copy and not the exact inddc, thus resulting to multiple inddc files instead of updating the original file.

  20. incorrect phone numbers in right to left flow text boxes

    Number flow incorrect in right to left text boxes:
    In InDesign V18.5, phone number flows in correct order,
    In InDesign V19.0, phone number is treated as a series of three sets of numbers and is displayed incorrectly

    Please see screenshots

    Thanks!
