Character style changing while using grep
Hi Support,
I had a issue while using GREP, While replacing the manual bulleted paragraph to bullet styled paragraph,
I have used the below:
Find What:
^ ·\t(.+)$
Change to:
$1
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.

spelling e.g
- InDesign 15.0.1 x64 (for Windows 10)
- Check spelling in document. When InDesign comes to the term "e.g." it highlights "e.g" as misspelled. The dictionary includes "e.g." as one of the suggested corrections. If I select that option and use "change," InDesign will correct the term to "e.g.." and then will immediately rehighlight "e.g" as a misspelling.
- Since it already includes e.g. as an option within the dictionary, it should not flag that as a misspelling.
- InDesign does not include the final period as part of the term, and so it consistently flags that term as misspelled.

Object Display Performance
With an object selected, selecting Object/Display Peroformance/ no matter what setting, nothing happens since the 2018 update. It only works if I use the option in the view menu for the entire document or go to preferences and change the default for Typical to high

Can't able to delete swatches
I am using the Indesign CC 2015. My template document contains multiple swatches. I can't able to delete some of the swatches(PANTONE 7731 C, PANTONE 646 C,..). Even the delete option is also not shown for that swatches. Please check and provide the guidelines to handle this case.
Thanks,

ALT key results in stall
Pressing the ALT key - be that for zooming out, using a fitting option, or any other shortcut, slows indesign to the point of non-performance, sometimes for 20 seconds or more. Happens primarily when I'm in a document with more pages/items. Have uninstalled all adobe programs and reinstalled, hasn't fixed.

feed back
I have a multiple page text document in indesign, I want to spell check only the text in the panels, so manual selection is the best option in this scenario. But what happens is the spell checker always reverts back to document. how do you set it to stay on selection mode?

Applying the Brush to the Arc Only
When we apply a brush, it applies it to the entire angled circle. When we draw an angular circle, can we add the option to apply brushes only to the arc? The color of the straight lines should be "none" so that the circle is not distorted.

After the last update, the following things no longer work properly:

create outlines
v 14.02
In previous versions, when creating outlines, the newly converted text could simply be ungrouped and the "letters" could be moved and manipulated independently. Now the function is creating each line as a graphic with the only option of releasing compound path to separate the letters. This is hugely inconvenient in a larger block of text. Is this a bug or some new function/option that can be changed? Thanks!1 vote -

Indesign Saving Files
In Indesign, the Interactive PDF save option needs to specify the file size before saving, how many MB will be. Just like when we save a JPEG file in Photoshop, it will tell you how many MB of the file will be before saving.
I would appreciate it if you take this suggestion into consideration.
Thanks.

Shortcut for High Quality Display does something else
Up until Indesign CC 2020, when pressing "ctrl option command h" my document would switch to high res view. Since 16.0 it hides all other Programs of macOS (10.15.7) instead. When using the mouse it still works. Why is that, and how can I get the functionality back?

Go back to old method of "space after" paragraphs
I'm fine with the concept of allowing users to adjust the "spacing between paragraphs using same style." But the way this feature was added doesn't make sense: I think you should have left the old "space after" system the way it was, and allowed users to add the "spacing between paragraphs using same style" box as an extra option. The way you set it up (unless I'm misunderstanding something), anyone wanting to put spacing between paragraphs now has to enter data into two boxes, whether they want certain sections to have custom spacing or not. It makes the "spacing between…
