Hi @ravisavis:   What OS are you using? What are your system specifications?   Have you tried fully removing InDesign with the free Adobe CC Cleaner tool, and reinstalled? https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/apps/troubleshoot/download-failure/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   ~Barb ...

Hi @Document Geek:   What might cause InDesign to start determing that an even number of pages is required? And how can I turn this off?   Can you share your book panel menu > Book Page Numbering Options dialog box? That's where the page count is controlled at the book level.   ~Barb ... View more

Hi Robbie:   This should be helpful: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/accept-or-reject-tracked-changes-in-word-b2dac7d8-f497-4e94-81bd-d64e62eee0e8   ~Barb ... View more

Ok, that's odd. Is this a new InDesign installation? It looks it was incomplete.   I think I would start with an uninstall/reinstall. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html   If that doesn't work, download the free Adobe CC Cleaner tool to completely uninstall InDesign (the regular uninstall leaves remnants behind) and then reinstall.  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   ~Barb ...

Hi @thomd61141163:   Endnotes position is limited within InDesign's feature set. You have two options, outlined below: —https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/endnotes.html   You won't be able to automatically put them at the end of a book, but using individual book files but you could either place all 17 chapters as 17 sets of individually threaded text frames in a single .indd fle and set the scope to Document, or place all of them into one threaded text frame (using a paragraph style to force each title to the next right page) and leave the scope set to Story.    Alternatively, you can take a look at a free script from our own Community Expert Peter Kahrel that will allow you to use a book file, as suggested by @davecourtemanche:  https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/footnotes.html. Scroll down to End-of-book notes and see if that will work for you.    ~Barb ... View more

Hi @pixelwrangler:   Glad you are back on track.   InDesign preferences can become corrupt over time (and in my person observation, more frequently after an update when the user migrates preferences). Knowing how to clear them is important to any InDesign user. You might want to bookmark this thread so that you have it the next time InDesign begins to behave erratically: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/   And maybe take a quick look at this one which explains how not to migrate preferences and why it isn't that big a deal to disable the feature: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-how-to-copy-your-presets-after-an-update/   ~Barb ...

I keystroked Peter's suggestion of using line breaks—and as he correctly surmised—it didn't work.   Nor did making the frame two columns and spanning the titles and the instructions and allows the ingredients to not split or span.   It seems that Split and Span and Keep Options are mutually exclusive.  🙁    ~Barb ...

What are your system specifications, Nicole? Does your personal computer meet or exceed the specs shown below?   ~Barb   Processor Multicore Intel processor or Apple silicon/M1/M2/M3/M4. SSE4.2 or higher SIMD engine. Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2) Support required   RAM Minimum 8 GB of RAM (16 GB recommended) Hard disk 4.5 GB of available hard-disk space for installation. Additional free space is required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices). Monitor resolution 1024 x 768 display (1920 x 1080 recommended), Retina display support. Scalable UI: Minimum monitor resolution required is 1920 x 1080.   ... View more

Thanks for the update, Nicole.   Just clarifying—so you did download and use the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to completely remove InDesign before reinstalling? A regular uninstall leaves remnants behind that can cause issues, but locating and removing the hidden files/folders in the post I linked to will also remove the troublesome remnants.     Have you previously used v 18 (CC 2023) on this system? Is that why you think that version will work? And what are your system specifications? Are you on a personal Mac, or one being managed by your admin department?   If you are going the refund route, you don't need to respond to any of these questions, but if you decide to give it another shot, by all means, reach back out to us. We'll be here for you.   ~Barb ... View more

So the question here is, why am I getting this error message?   See if any of these threads provide clarity. If not, please come back, and elaborate. Providing workflow details helps us help you faster, and eliminates guesswork on our part.   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/version-4-icc-profiles-were-converted-to-version-2-icc-profiles/m-p/11351721   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/how-to-overcome-icc-profile-warning-amp-export-an-id-file-to-pdf/m-p/12213480/page/2   https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/140681/version-4-icc-profiles-were-converted-to-version-2-icc-profiles-during-pdf-expor   ~Barb ...

Hi @fierce_guide0798:   I see you are new here—welcome.    Can you please clarify your workflow? Are you working with one InDesign document, or with multiple InDesign .indd files, pulled together into an InDesign book file (.indb)? Are you asking to how increment the chapter titles by 9 and then by 10s? i.e., 1, 10, 20., 30, 40... etc.   Details help us help you faster, and eliminate guesswork. And that said, before you provide the clarification, I'm going to guess that your best bet is to number these manually because auto-numbers increment by 1s. As a workaround you might hide the undesirable numbers, but that's likely more work than just typing in the numbers.   ~Barb ... View more

Hi @pino_2179:   You can customize color and position of both an underline and a strikethrough so by that covers two of the lines.  The other lines that Willie referred to (paragraph rules and borders) are added at the paragraph level, which means you can't assign them to individual words within a paragraph. Not sure if you need to.  A sample or two would be very helpful— even if you just sketch it on paper and then take a picture of it to share with us.   ~Barb  ... View more

The leading can come from a character style in the body of the document. Take a look at those two paragraphs as they appear in the actual document before being called into the TOC.  ~Barb  ... View more

Hi @noamh40117061:   Why don't you try working through @Eugene Tyson's suggestions. If you don't make progress, I'd be happy to look at your files.   Also, vertical spacing is a combination of leading (line spacing) and space before and space after. If text doesn’t fit, and InDesign will not squish text to fit. It will always overset the frame.   ~Barb ... View more

Can you please share a screen shot of your Table of Contents dialog box so that we can see what styles you are calling in. And what styles are they mapping to? (Visible after clicking the More Options button with a style selected). The squished lines appear not to have enough leading assigned. This can originate in the body of the document—the TOC just picks it up and displays it.     the last few pages are still omitted from the TOC as you can see in the picture We can't tell what is missing without seeing the document. On a general note: I recommend double checking the style names: any variations on style names will cause them not to be included. It could be an extra space at the end of the style name in one file but not in another, or a different case in the style name, or a style that appears in a folder in one document and not in a folder in an other document. Screen shots will help us help you troubleshoot.   I see that multiple entries end with a hyphen—are you getting the entire headings as expected, or are there words missing, too? ~Barb  ...

Hi @Tommas B:   Three more questions:   1. Are you running Webroot on your Mac? Is this all Cmd key shortcuts (i.e. Cmd S to save or Cmd P to print) or just Cmd Z?   2. Do you migrate preferences when you install a new version?   3. And how far did you go on resetting preferences? Just the keyboard shortcut or the Reset Preferences button in InDesign > Preferences > General? Or did you dig into the hidden folders to remove caches/preferences files?   ~Barb ... View more

Hi @Mr. Met:   Where do I find my prefs from version 2024? This post shows where all the files are stored and explains how to copy them to the next version.

Hi @satisfied_Moonbeam7224:   There are so many things to look for to solve this (but it is solvable)!   I suggest looking into anchoring positions (and I have a video that covers this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmMxRCHlOK4), and also removing the double ¶¶s visible in your screen shots, and if the breaking is still an issue, I would remove all of the Keep Settings to allow everything thing to fall sequentially one under the next, and then add them back in judiciously, one at a time, until you get the result you are after.    ~Barb ...
