    Just checking back to note that the problem persists in the 2019 update, and also to add that the new New Document setup dialog doesn’t seem to support different H & V measures: I get picas in both directions when using it.

    You can achieve a similar effect with a doubled stroke style like “Thin-Thin” or a custom variant.

    If by “contour” you mean stroke, try unchecking “Dimensions Include Stroke Weight” in the Transform panel menu. That should base all measurements on the path itself, ignoring the thickness of strokes.

    I agree; this is an automatic behaviour of QuarkXPress (without using a percentage—a baseline shift is just scaled willy-nilly with the point size) that I miss; using a percentage would be even better, allowing the option for either a relative or an absolute shift.

    The ability to find colors in documents in now available in InDesign’s latest release 16.0.

    It can be found in a new tab of Find/Change dialog – Color.
    Please let us know your feedback in comments.

    Regards,

    Thanks for the tip about using Find. But it would still be nice to have a “Find …” item in the Swatches panel menu, to launch the Find dialog with the selected swatch pre-loaded.
