Wrong font case in TOC when using character style with upper case
When generating table of contents it fetches the text and ignores paragraph styles, but character styles are left. This must be a misstake.
I want TOC to be title case and chapter headings to be upper case that is set in a paragraph style. So far so good. But I am adjusting minor words (and, at, etc) with a character style. And for those words the upper case setting also shows in TOC.

Title Case Is Not Actually Title Case
I'm editing book with over 1,000 pages. I am selecting copy, changing case to Title Case, but it just capitalizes first letter in all words. There needs to be another case option. Title case needs to be setup so it makes a "title" of a book so words like "of" are not capitalized. New option can be called First Letter Caps, and Title case can be fixed to address words that should not be capitalized in a title of a book or headline.

Autoflow Text is Crashing InDesign
Autoflow text is crashing InDesign. The progress bar gets to about 90% and then it crashes.
The text document is about 50,000 words, so it's nothing unusual.

To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an 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 2021(v16.0.0.77) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.
We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

Random text appears in the filename field when editing filenames during Save As
- ID 14.0.1, OS 10.14.2
- Save as. When dialog appears, filename is highlighted so that it can be edited. Use RIght arrow key to put cursor at end of filename to append text.
- Expected result, which occurs about 90% of the time, is that the cursor moves to the end of the filename and you can enter text.
- Actual result, about 10% of the time, is that pressing the Right arrow key erases the entire filename in the field and replaces it with the words "Adobe Stock".
(Another version of this error occurs in the exact same scenario with Illustration…

Major lagging/hanging when typing text and selecting objects
InDesign 14.0.1; Windows 10
I was experiencing some major lag when typing text, up to 30 seconds. Even when text started to appear, words would appear only one letter at a time with significant delay in between. The problem then expanded to selecting and moving objects around on a page. InDesign for me has been unusable for the past few hours (Jan. 25, 2019 from 1:30 - 4:30pm EST). I even tried reverting back to version 14.0 and had no luck. Rebooted several times. I then went into my system restore and saw that earlier today a Microsoft Visual…

Share for review comments moved after file update
Comments are no longer in the correct position after update to INDD file.... I entered a few line returns and replaced a space with a non-breaking space after a few words, going manually through the search and replace. Going backwards with the edits doesn't help.

Text disappearing while editing
On my MacBook Air when I use InDesign and I am editing text it frequently disappears then when I zoom in again it will reappear. It only ever disappears from view, it is never lost but still very annoying. It will do this about every 4 words I type.

Wrong hyphenation Spanish
Indesign 2023 Spanish hyphenation is wrong.
Some words starting with "des-" are hyphenated after "des-" and should be hyphenated after "de-". Example of right hyphenation:
- desempeño > de - sem - pe - ño
- desagradecido> de - sa -gra - de - ci -do
- destilar> des - ti - lar
This problem has appeared in last versions of indesign.

Character style has trouble spanning more than one line
It used to be that InDesign had no trouble when a character style ran more than one line. From some time, including InDesign 16.2.1, if a character style is applied to a string of text that starts on one line and continues to the next line, for example the last few words on a line and the first few words on the next line, InDesign will force all the text with that Character Style onto the next line, and space on the text on the previous line to span the entire line.
However, if you don't use a…1 vote -
Share for review Icon is hiding content.
The share for review icon is hiding my text in InDesign.
Often I get text updated and users place the icon on top of the words.
When I want to update the text, it is very difficult to see the text to update as the icon is placed right on top. Would be nice if I could move the icon a little.Thanks.
1 voteYou can click on the Eye icon at the bottom of the Review panel to temporarily hide the annotations and unhide them again by clicking again on the Eye icon.

no break is not working 100%
InDesign CC 14.0 no break is not working all the time. Trying to keep web address together and have no break applied but the text is still splitting even though it can fit a single line of the text box. If I change width of text box the spaces get compressed and almost looks like there is no space between words.

Kindly provide the information sought by Payal, see below.Adobe InDesign team

double spaces
I write a lot in InDesign because i layout in the same time. When writing an rewriting there is often a problem with double spaces since you change and move text. The software tells you when words are used twice but not spaces. That would be of great help because they are difficult to recognice!

For text frames with inset spacing and shaped corners, the text frame can auto-size to be much wider than the actual text
InDesign: 15.0.1 x64
Creative Cloud: 5.1.0.407This behavior varies depending on the combination of:
- typeface
- font size
- corner size
- inset spacing
- actual text contents in text framePut a few words in a text frame, and keep the text frame selected. I can trigger this easily with Minion Pro, Roboto, and Inconsolata.

In Object -> Text Frame Options:
- In the General section, set Inset Spacing to some nonzero value.
- In the Auto-Size section, set Auto-Sizing to Height and Width, and enable No Line Breaks.
Select the text frame with the Selection Tool. Set the…

Spell Check keeps defaulting to Polish.
I need to spell check my document but none of the words are in the dictionary. The spell check dictionary keeps defaulting to Polish even when I change it to English. I have set it as English US in every place I can find but it keeps defaulting to Polish for spell check.
Help.

Mouse cursor slow when updating links
When updating links (either individually or all at once), the mouse cursor becomes extremely slow. This slowness happens in all applications, not just Indesign. In other words, if I set the links to update while working on other stuff in other applications, the mouse cursor is still super slow.
Using Windows 11. Don't know where you can see the Indesign version number.

overset endnotes
Not sure where to post this. I do a lot of journals using Indesign. I find that in Indesign 2018 and 2019 when you place a Word.doc with endnotes it brings in the endnotes okay but only the first page. The other endnotes are overset. It does not do this in Indesign 2017. Can something be done to fix this?

Problems in exporting cropped PDF ( Changed frame size )
Whenever I'm exporting a cropped PDF in InDesign, I am not able to see the cropped area (Outside the frame) , but I am able to select the text and words of the cropped area (Outside the frame). This is very annoying.
Whenever I'm exporting a PDF I want to export only the content inside the frame not outside the frame.

ID 17 English LTR document with any RTL text exports as RTL epub
I edited this to remove the urgent notice. The publisher does not want to publish this book as an epub.
The basic problem remains, however.
When exporting an epub 3.0 from an academic book written in English with some RTL text sections, typically tables with Hebrew and English text, the epub exports in reverse order. That is, the title page is at the end of the epub, and the last page of the text is the first in the epub. So far it seems that the presence of any RTL elements, even a single character, causes the epub to export…
