    Where is the Reverse Layout option in Adobe Indesign 2020? I am trying to create an arabic version of a book and have to mirror the layouts previous versions had this option. I do not seem to find this option anywhere.

  3. image box not working

    When drawing image frame, the option to link an image no longer appears. Can only insert images in the document by using Place option from menu drop down. There should be a button that shows when I draw an image box that gives me option to link in a image from files- a new image or relink an image. Neither of these is available.

  4. Page Tool 'Use Spacing' does not affect pages, then crashes

    As you can see from the screenshot, the use spacing option does not affect pages at all. I've got about 39mm of space between each page, tried typing 5mm and they don't move, even though it displays as 5mm.

    No matter how many pages are selected with the Page Tool option, nothing changes.

    Previously had a problem with the page align tool, but managed to fix it by resetting Indesign Preferences.

    This didn't fix the 'Use Spacing' option though, and after a few times of typing various numbers into the box, it crashes.

    Any patches to help with this?

  9. "Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden" not working

    InDesign CC most current version 18.5
    1. Add text frame
    2. Add overlapping object
    3. Add text wrap to object
    4. Set layer option to "Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden"
    - Expect that text wrap will be suppressed when I hide the object layer that has text wrap applied
    - Text wrap is still applied when the object layer is hidden, whether applying the layer option first or last, creating a new document and starting over, or trying each text wrap option

  10. 'manage extensions' not in 'help' dropdown

    The extensions option is not showing in the "help" menu. When I go to the Help Menu there is no "Manage Extensions" option. Please provide troubleshooting steps as I need to load a local extension into inDesign. I also looked in the "Window" menu and found nothing.: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/46364836-extensions-option-not-showing-in-window-menu

  12. Right swiping a hyperlink and then right clicking produces inconsistent context menu

    Hi there,

    If I have a hyperlink as plain text and then highlight it, then right-click the area, I sometimes get an option to turn it into a hyperlink and other times I get the spell checker menu with not such option.

    It would be good if the option to turn text into a hyperlink was always visible when you right-clicked highlighted text. I have dynamic spell checking turned on.

    Kind regards
    Mike H

  13. OpenAsset extension in ID 2020 for Mac

    I installed the OpenAsset extension in my InDesign 2020 on a Mac running OS Catalina. My Exchange says that I should be able to launch it from Windows > Extensions > OpenAsset. There is no Windows menu option; under the Window option there is no Extensions submenu anymore.

    Please advise. I use this extension extensively with work.

    Thanks,

  14. Placement cropping set to "Art" when relinking an Indd file to a pdf

    1. A bug in Indesign 13.0.1. Mac OSX

    2. Place an Indd document inside one.
      Relink all instances of said link to a pdf file created from the linked Indd file.
      The placement option changes to "Art" regardless of what has been the last option set when placing pdf:s.

    3. Expected to the pdf's retain cropping to media as is the case with Indd files OR retain cropping from last set option in the Place pdf dialog.

    4. Pdfs cropped to "Art".

  18. use file name

    Last week when I exported to PDF a tick box was available to use the file name.
    This week I don't have that option - (and INDD is newly updated.)
    a) the option was useful
    b) is this a local problem or was it removed on purpose?

    running under win7
    thanks

  20. InDesign Share for Review @mentions are not sending emails to the contributors

    People are leaving comments with the @mention option but the @person is not receiving those comments in email so they don't know that the comment was made.
