InDesign

Is there a way to make the text flush left to the text box?I thought I could make the adjustment in Text Frame Options, but I cannot seem to find it.

Indesign works normally for some time but then it crashes when i do simple text editions (like adding space etc) or try to create new pages with automatic/manual linked text frames. I already uninstalled and reinstalled it, restarted my computer, created a new document and added text from 0, but it keeps happening. I sent tons of error reports. Don't know what to do anymore and i have an urgent work to deliver. Is anyone having the same issue?This is one error report:   <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE AdobeCrashReport SYSTEM "AdobeCrashReporter.dtd"><crashreport serviceVersion="26.5.0.202506270759_7140322" clientVersion="26.5.0.202506270759_7140322" applicationName="InDesign" applicationVersion="20.5.0" build="20.5.0.48" source="Windows-Client-WER" crashType="n/a"><time year="2025" month="9" day="4" hour="9" minute="23" second="45" timeoffset="-180" timezone="Hora oficial do Brasil" crsessionduration="1756988625"/><user guid="3e34810a-1db6-4166-ae82-

 Can someone help me figure out why is the Indent here? the first line Indent is at zero  

I don't classify these as true problems that impact my productivity or ability to deliver product, but they are things that I have never experienced before (despite profile status I have been using for many years). Reasonably certain this has occured on two different machines so I am not inclined to think its anything to do with corrupt preferences etc. The most persistent issue would be the dialog box labeled "Open 1 Documents" that won't disappear despite no documents being open. Sometimes I can get it to disappear by reopening the document that I just closed, (opening a document is what causes this dialog box to pop up sometimes). A number of times this has occured prior to getting the "serious error" shutdown. I am also gettng the scrambled text that has been an issue for others per historical posts. I eliminated the possibility that it is due to duplicate text boxes. Often occurs when applying paragraph composer to a specific paragraph. Used to be able to solve text scrambling on

Hi,I edit InDesign document and I wonder should color settings be RGB or CMYK. I will need to use this work in digital and print both. I will make it specific CMYK in export but in working space should it be RGB or CMYK?Thank you so much!

I need to travel with a new MacBook. Transferring the user settings from my desktop computer, using File>user settings>export user settings and importing the file gives me the error message 'Incompatible locale detected. Please choose a valid file to proceed.' I've ensured that both versions are up to date and the same. The date/time is the same. I have no idea where to go from here.     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi, I am wondering how do I get those Red (Close), Orange (minimise) and Green (epand) Buttons to return on the too in Indesign since they are missing????? Also its not allow me to drag the whole window to my other screen since everything is stuck on the top. I have tried reinstalling Indesign and that has not fixed it. Those buttons are on my other applications. I have attached a screen shot. Thanks

How do I tag a large number such as a 13 digit ISBN - so that a screen reader reads it as individual digits rather than a single nuneral?

I have twenty ID files, all needing to go to print PDF. Is there a script or way to just select the files and output in one shot?

I've been working with several documents and noticed that the text boxes aren't visually aligned, which results in a distorted or uneven text layout. Interestingly, the issue seems to "resolve" itself when I zoom in to 180% or higher. I'm wondering if there's a proper fix for this, or if anyone else has experienced something similar?

I ran into what I believe is a bug just now, but would like confirmation.(1) Create text box and add a stroke (add inset or other formatting to make it look nicer if you like).(2) Insert text as well as an anchored object into that text.(3) Change the blend mode of the stroke of the text box.For me, in InDesign 2015.4 on a Mac, the anchored object is given the blending mode of the stroke as well. I would expect that to only affect the stroke, and none of the content within the box. The anchored graphic I'm inserting doesn't even have a stroke. I tried this in a new file with different content and got the same result.I'm hoping that I'm missing something obvious. I'd like to keep this with everything in neat, single, self-contained, and auto-fitting boxes. The effect I'd like is for the stroke of the text box only to blend (multiply) with a background.The workaround I'm considering is doing the stroke as an outer glow instead, but I'll have rounded corners.Thanks,Rich

Does anyone know if there is a dedicated tool for recording and managing tasks and workflows in ID. So that required tasks can be monitored, how much has been completed etc. etc.I found this:https://www.aedev.tools/tools/taskflowBut it seems to be for Mac, and the author is not responding to messages. I know a way to make handle this manually but would like a dedicated tool for automation, if there is one. Thank You

Hello, My CC library has never worked properly. This is a shared library across our company. The library populates all colors and images when opening either InDesign or Illustrator, but when I go to apply anything within the library, nothing happens. I've narrowed it down to a user/computer issue as other users who uses the same library, have no issues.  I have taken many actions to fix this myself but have not made any progress. 1. Uninstall and reinstall CC desktop app.2. CC Cleaner tool run 1: Library installations only.3. CC Cleaner tool run 2: Cleaned all installations. I've attached a screen recording what happens when using the CC library within InDesign. I'm at my wits end here. Does someone have a solution to my problem?

Bonjour,Je rencontre un problème d’affichage dans InDesign. Lorsque je zoome sur une page et que je la déplace à l’aide de l’outil Main (touche Espace), les éléments de la composition qui sortent du champ n'apparaissent pas correctement lorsque je les fais revenir dans le champ : des cassures visuelles apparaissent exactement à l’endroit où les images étaient coupées par les bords de la fenêtre.J’utilise une carte graphique RTX A4000 avec les derniers pilotes à jour.Auriez-vous quelques pistes de recherche à conseiller ?Merci pour votre aide !Cdt  

Hey,I was checking the document, and i saw that the index was created manually, and i was wondering if it was possible to create an automatic index without losing the style it has. I put this little detail, since I would love to keep they way it looks, and my fear that it might look like a table of content of a book.

Bonjour, Je suis sur Macbook Air M2 Sonoma en 14.5Depuis quelques temps j'ai un problème avec  InDesign (et seulement in design). Lorsque celui-ci se lance il se lance sur l'ecran de mon M2 mais lorsque je veux déplacer ma fenètre InDesign sur mon 2ème écran (HDMI) la fenetre est indeplaçable. Au mieux en décochant la fonction "cadre de l'application dans fenêtre" je peux deplacer mon espace de travail et les outils 1 à 1. La manipulation reste fastidieuse et je souhaiterai trouver ce qui m'empêche par un simple glisser-déposer de déplacer mon app InDesign dans son intégralité et en 1 fois sur mon 2ème écran.Merci à tous pour votre aideCaroline

I'm looking to export from one InDesign document multiple double-sided pdfs, as separate pdfs. By double-sided I mean 2 x single pages together in one pdf – not double-page spreads. Here's the situation – I frequently work for large companies to produce printed graphics for events. We often do things like double-sided food and drinks menus, double sided drinks coasters, double-sided postcards, gift cards etc. Quite often we have the same design being used across multiple items but with individual variations. For example, 20 x drinks coasters, all with the same colours, same font styling, same format, same logo placement but with a different message on each one. So I usually set these up in InDesign to make use of the master layouts and paragraph/character styles incase I need to change any of the styling, which then updates all of them in one go. That's all well and good. However, when it comes to printing them, I need to combine the front and back (of one drinks coaster

I've been publishing online magazines for an organisation that I volunteer for for some time now and it works well, but on the latest issue I've had a query about someone who wants to download a PDF version.  I have never really bothered about this because I don't see the point as it's a digital online edition and why would you want to download as a PDF.  Anyway, this person is pointed out that when they download the PDF version none of the interactive elements work and they are presented with blank pages where the interactive elements should be.My missing something obvious or is this not supported.https://indd.adobe.com/view/c40714f7-7326-459d-a375-f6a5d1985f2c

Hi, Dear Friends!My ID is getting a little sluggish (which is the main reason I left MS Word for page layout. Yes, I have a lot of scripts, but I am not running them all at once, so why should this be happening? I am a super fast system, Windows 11 with plenty of RAM - 

Currently, I convert .indd to .idml manually using Adobe InDesign (File → Save As → Choose file format type -> choose the location → save).Can this process be automated via an API so it run without requiring Adobe InDesign to be installed? Is there any official API available for this?

Convert the point type (e.g., to a smooth or corner point) is missing from the properties panel. I can't for the life of me find it anywhere and the intuitive panel is no showing me the option anymore. Please help. Here is an example:I am trying to round the node circles, but the option to do so from the properties panel is no longer displaying there.   

I want to release overflow text within cells.The prerequisite is to identify columns containing overflow text, then set the minimum width for those columns. Perhaps there's no way to directly release columns with overflow.Do I need to set a possible cellwidth?

there are a lot of things popping up on my screen making it very difficult to work fluidly... how can I disable all these things? Image reference attached 

Didn't Helen Keller say: "Do not tell me it cannot be done!" With the help of AI I created a script to get the *first word* of the text frame in a thread *that comes after the currently selected text frame and insert that word into a third text frame. Works great. But sometimes the contents of the story change, and in turn, that first word of the next frame in the thread. Is there a way to cause the text in the third text frame to be updated dynamically so I don't have to keep deleting that frame and running the script again and again? So what we want here is some type of expression like: MyText = (first word of text frame XYZ) (from my Pascal days) inside the properties of text frame 3. I don't know what the heck i am talking about....:( Any ideas? SF   <Title renamed by MOD>
