InDesign

I have a paragraph that asks several questions. After the last question I want the GREP style to apply to give the answer to the questions a different color to get this result."Where was it? When did it happen? At the market at 5:00 p.m." This below works for finding the question mark, but the problem is that it finds every single one.(?<=\?).+Giving me this problem."Where was it? When did it happen? At the market at 5:00 p.m." Is it possible to find only the last occorance of the question mark?Thanks!

In the last few upgrades of Indesign something has stumped me. When I move or scale objects there is snapping to some sort of invisible grid. This happens when I move or scale something with my mouse but not when I move something with the the up and down arrow keys (I set the keyboard increments to a very small setting and that works). I've tried troubleshooting this problem by playing with the settings for guides and grids under the "view" menu, changing preferences for units and increments and guides and pasteboards, anything I can think of. Nothing turns this snapping off and it is impossible to do percision alignment when scaling because I can't scale with the up and down arrow keys, only the mouse and other input devices. I have been using InDesign for a long while so I am a relatively advaced user but I haven't been able to figure this one out.

Very often, I need to compare two documents. I therefore open them and put the windows next to each other, so that I can see them both. I wonder whether there is a way to scroll in both documents simultaneously? So, instead of… clicking on window 1,then scrolling in doc 1,then clicking on window 2and finally scrolling in window 2…there would be… just ONE keyboard action to turn pages in BOTH documents at once.That would come in SO handy! Is there something like this?

Hallo zusammen, ich muss eine Katalog Anpassung vornehmen und weiß nicht, ob das Programm InDesign dafür geeignet ist.Der Katalog ist in Unterpunkten 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc. unterteilt. Der Unterpunkt 2.0 samt Inhalt soll entfernt werden. Durch die Änderung soll der Unterpunkt 3.0 zu 2.0 werden, 4.0 zu 3.0, etc.. Ist das mit InDesign möglich?Alternativ können wir die PDF Datei in Word umwandeln, allerdings würde das manuelle ändern jeder Seite sehr viel Zeit in Anspruch nehmen. 

have some embedded online files within a work website. what happens with those files when my email address is no longer valid due to job change? are they still accessible?    

I'm currently working on printing a zine containing some of my black and white photographs.  I printed a test zine with the printing company I'm working with and the images look dull and flat - no deep blacks to speak of.  The zine was printed on a digital press and I used the CMYK color profile provided by the printing company (Coated GRACoL 2006 (ISO 12647-2:2004)) in my images/InDesign file. To remedy the lack of deep blacks, the printer suggested that I use Rich Black (CMYK = 30% 30% 30% 100%) rather than Standard Black.  I understand how to create a Rich Black swatch in InDesign and apply it to something like a solid black background, but I don't really understand how to apply that swatch to my photographs.  Can anyone suggest how I might go about using the suggested Rich Black to produce deep blacks in my printed photos, using InDesign and/or Photoshop? Thanks in advance.

I have several files in a book file. The first file has the document title, p-tagged as "Document Title". I then use a variable also called <Document Title> in the footer, like this: © 2025 MyCompany Inc. Proprietary and Confidential<Document Title> Here's the variable definition: The document title appears in the footer of all pages of the first file, as expected, but it does not appear in any of the later files in the book. That space is blank. I synchronized the later files to the first file, but that didn't change anything. How do I share the document title across all the files? Or do I need to set this up differently?   

When I have a large document I'm working on (in this case, 4x8 feet), there are times when I want to be zoomed in for detail work, and times where I want to see the entire design at once.  When I'm zoomed in, I can use the hand tool to move around. When I'm zoomed out, the document is fixed in one position, in the centre right of the screen. I'd like to be able to move it, usually more into the centre, so that it's lined up with my eyeline. For some reason InDesign won't allow me to do this at all. It's beyond frustrating. Can you fix it, please?

I read an old question (2019) that said you cannot highlight non-contiguous words/phrases. I'm wondering if this has changed now and if there is a way to do this. I want to highlight subheadingins in chapter and assign a paragraph style and change them with one click! 

When placing two simple, non-layered sheets in ID from the same excel file, why is the font on one DARKER than the other? They're formatted in Excel exactly the same. (I tried a work-around by copying as picture but it wasn't as crisp when I saved as a pdf.) I don't need to link, just need to place as-is. Pulling my hair out a little here. Any solution or work-around appreciated. I've searched the community and tried several things. THANK YOU

I imported a pdf into InDesign. When I place an object with a shadow (or glow) over the pdf, the entire pdf becomes darker/heavier, and it prints that way. I checked the shadow and the spread, size, and distance were all very small. Why is this happening?

How to check if a character is a nonbreaking space in UXP?if (chars[chars.indexOf(char) - 1].contents === " ") { console.log("yes"); }I can't use \u00A0 or /~S/. The first one doesn't work, the second can't be used in .jsx UXP.

Hi there The Table of Contents in ePUBs only show up as half the width of the screen when exported. The lines wrap and they are clickable but do not take up the full width of the screen as they should. Can anyone advise on how to fix this please? Thanks!

Hi I've an issue about vertical alignment. I have a simple text inside a frame and another frame inside as you can see in the screen. How can I align in the center the text? Around the red line.  I tried different vertical alignment but all of they manage the whole block   ThanksFrancesco

Working on a very large book of 420 pages. i upgraded recently and now at some unknown reason text in a text box will clear spontaneously. Its happened about six times today. I am quite experienced and have no idea what or why.

I wonder how much time this bug has wasted. I noticed that when changing section-specific info in the Layout / Number & Section Options menu, sometimes it would produce totally unexpected results and screw up multiple sections and page layout. It turns out that this is because pages are inexplicably selected in the Pages tab, unrelated to where the insertion point resides. Sometimes two pages are selected at once in that pane, other times only one... but frequently the selected one(s) is wrong. I didn't select it, and it doesn't reflect the page on which I'm working. Further experimentation shows that it usually selects both pages of a spread, instead of the one you put the insertion point on. That is a major PITA; if you click on the right page thinking you're going to start a new section, InDesign will instead start the section with the left page, messing things up. With the insertion point sitting in text, I expect any changes made to the section or chapter o

Hello everyone! I was wondering if there is any way of linking two o more text boxes so that when you write text in one of them it automatically changes in the other. I am not talking about threading for text overflow. I am also interested in doing the same with images. I am going to set a practical example: a have 50 posters that are meant to be almost the same, but they all have different logos. The text and background image is the same for all of them. I would like to change the text and image in one of them, and then InDesign would automatically update the rest. Is this possible? Any ideas?

Hi, When I export my InDesign document to Adobe Express, the bleed settings don’t carry over. Is there a setting I need to enable in InDesign to include the bleed? Or is this a limitation in how InDesign exports to Adobe Express? Thanks, RB

Hey everyone,I’m working on a project where I need to lay out all 200 chapters of a manhwa (Solo Leveling) in a clean and scrollable format. I’m using Adobe apps for the design side — mostly Illustrator and XD — and looking for layout inspiration or best practices for content-heavy pages.Anyone here done something similar with long-form content or comic/manga layouts?

I am using Indesign cc 2020. My "edit with" right click menu does not have Photoshop listed. I have to click "other" and then locate photoshop.exe everytime I want to edit my image in photoshop. What should I do so that photoshop is always listed in my "edit with" context menu?

Bonjour, J'ai un agenda hebdomadaire à réaliser.Sur la page de gauche se trouve les 7 jours de la semaine (du lundi au dimanche) avec des cases horaires pour chaque jour. J'ai créé un tableau pour placer mes éléments.J'ai besoin que soit injecté :- l'année- le mois (deux mois si la semaine est à cheval. exemple : "janvier / février")- les jours (lundi, mardi,…)- le numéro de chaque jour- le saint correspondant au jour.Sur la page de droite c'est des lignes pour la prise de notes et l'affichage du numéro de la semaine.Vous trouverez ci-joint mon gabarit. Comment faire pour que le script récupère automatiquement les bonnes informations (en ligne ?) et les injecte aux bons endroits ?L'idéal serait que le script soit compatible pour les années suivantes lors du renouvellement annuel de l'agenda.J'ai essayé en mettant des intitulé de script dans mes cases de tableau ou mes blocs texte mais ça ne fonctionne pas et le script crée des pages les unes à côté des autres sans doute car&n

I am unable to create a ordinal superscript character style in InDesign. In opening the create new character style there is no choice for a superscript in the panel. I’m using Bell MT true type font. Bringing in the superscripted ordinal from Word causes a paragraph style override as does using GREP in find/change. Any suggestions?

I need to install an older version of InDesign. As you can see in the screenshot, the "Previous Versions" option does not appear.

Hello!I've downloaded this template: Minimalist Magazine Layout - billede | Adobe Stock and am really glad for the design. But on the top of the head of almost every page, there stands 'Magazine' which I'd like to substitute with something else. BUT - I can't change it. I can't edit it. And I even can't delete it. I've been through my master-page, and there is nothing there. So is there anyone, that might be able to help me?Best regardsJacob
