I've had an issue with right-justified tabs in multiple documents where they behave like a right indent is applied to the paragraph. Adding a Right Indent Tab seems to clear the issue in the style.        

I have single pages with no spreads and when i try to export certain pages only i dont see an option to do so. The only option is "all pages". Any idea why?           

my document is misplacing quotes and appostrophies in the ePub rendition of my Indesign files that are correct in the indd and the PDF. is there a fix for this problem? IngramSpark says: (OPF-053): /OEBPS/content.opf: Date value "2025/02/03" does not follow recommended syntax as per http:[For input string: "2025/02/03"] is not an integer.I do know understand what that means appart from, it doesn't work.the example follows:  London,July1914Sighing,Jamesrosefromhischair,pushedhishandsinhisjacketpockets,andwalkedovertothewindowtostareoutattherain.“Christ.”Heturnedandwithlittleemotionsaid,“It’snothingwehaven’tdonebefore,Anthony.”“IamfullyawareofthatJames,butifyouwillrememberweareretired.”“Yesbut—”“Listen,wedecidedtogetherbackin1901thatwehadhadenoughofthebloodyarmy,enoughofbloodySouthAfrica,and,”slidinghischairaroundtolookJamesintheeye,hecontinued,“especially,enoughofLordbloodyKitchener.Whatmakesyouthinkitwillbeanydifferent Woah!

It's been a while since this happened – a month – but now having the pasteboard on 1 page of ~400 suddenly extend out one side. I immediately stopped work and IDML'd it. It did not change. Now will delete this one page and replace/reconstruct the page, and perhaps avoid using the pasteboard for idea collection going forward. But this is bizarre and problematic.And @Robert at ID-Tasker, could your tool help identify the potential source of this issue?

I am placing a multi page file, so I created a text frame on each A-Parent page, and then flowed my text, clicking on the first page with the Shift key. This created enough pages, and put my text on eacg page. But it seems to have also created a text frame on each page, instead of flowing it into the Parent text frames. This means I have no way of adjusting all the frames at once; when I adjust the parent page frames it has no effect on the lowed text. Is there something I am not understanding?

Hola! Estoy diseñando un flyer y tengo que hacer varios formatos. El problema es que no consigo que los azules sean todos iguales en los diferentes archivos. He buscado por todos lados y no consigo respuesta. Alguien puede ayudarme para conseguir que se vea siempre en azul RGB?  Muchas gracias!

I'm correcting a large ID 19 file over some days, and checked regularly that each day's corrections were saved safely. Today, all saved text from all  the days' corrections in the file has diappeared.  Is a saved version hidding somewhere?Help.

I know scripting is very powerful. But for folks like me who don't understand it, I'm wondering if there's a way to create a simple macro - either in Indesign or with a third-party app - that would perform simple actions.I am laying out a book where imported text has codes for formatting. Text is coming from multiple authors and sometimes comes in Word, notepad and even html (that's another whole conversation). For example, <fleuron>John, having been to the store, and having already forgotten to pick up eggs, decided on cheese instead.The decision, once made, had him settled in to his chair at the table for the next three hours, pouring over the manuscript Susan just delivered.These are three separate paragraphs. I have paragraph styles set up named "fleuron," "Body Section First," and "Body Justified."The fleuron style uses bullets and hidden text to "hide" the word "<fleuron>" and use a glyph for a bullet (which creates a section mark in the manuscript).The Body Section F

I have few corrupt indd files. How do I convert it to idml ? I have a script which converts indd to idml but for some reason that script is not working on this file.   Here is the script:/** * This script converts Adobe InDesign INDD files to IDML and additionally exports a PDF file. * * You have the option to choose between converting only one single INDD file to IDML and PDF or * recursively iterate over a folder and its subfolders to convert all INDD files to IDML and PDF. * * InDesign-Scripting documentation: https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest * * * @7111211 dl6nm<mail@dl6nm.de> * @29199495 MIT * @3653945.0.0 * */ // Set default parameters var showDocumentInWindow = false; // Set to true to open the InDesign file in a window. // var logFile = new File(Folder.appData + "/indd-to-idml.log"); var logFile = new File(File($.fileName).path + "/indd-to-idml.log"); var logLevelName = "INFO"; // Set to "DEBUG", "INFO", "WARNIN

Bonjour, Je me permets d'écrire un message ici car j'ai essayé de chercher la solution à mon problème, mais je n'ai rien trouvé. J'ai joint une vidéo pour illustrer mes propos. Depuis hier, je n'arrive plus à déplacer des objets d'un calque à un autre en le déplaçant avec ma souris. Je suis obligée de le copier/couper puis de sélectionner le calque voulu, et le coller. J'ai aussi un problème de déplacement des objets. Dès que je sélectionne quelque chose, l'objet s'éloigne (beaucoup) de mon curseur, il n'est plus déplacé dans la page à partir de son centre. Je peux les déplacer "normalement" avec les touches de mon clavier.Tout ça est très contraignant, cela me fait perdre énormément de temps dans mon travail d'autant plus que j'ai des deadlines qui approchent. J'espère sincèrement que quelqu'un pourra m'aider. J'ai déjà essayé de désinstaller/réinstaller InDesign, de supprimer les préférences InDesign, de rallumer mon ordinateur, de supprimer le cache... Il y a peut-êtr

Alguna solución?

Hello everyone, I'm follwing instructions from a book that is having me place text from a file that is included in the book. I place a text frame then place the text in the frame. The "instructions" state that I should be getting a a red icon in the bottom right corner of text frame that holds overflowing text This overflow text is to be places on the next page.. However, there is no overdlow icon in the  bottom right corner. Is there a setting that Can be changed so that the overdlow text icon appears in the corner?  Help?

Hi Everyone,I'm running Indesign CC 2015 v11.4.0.90 (Mac OS X 10.11.3), and I've lost the ability to vertically align text. I'm not sure this is exactly what it was called, but you used to be able to make the txt site at the top, bottom or middle of the text frame - can't find this anywhere in the newest version. I use it pretty regularly, and I urgently need it now (don't want to just create a workaround, ideally) - can anybody give any insight as to where the setting has gone?I've tried searching the help section, and tried changing workspaces, but still can't find the little collection of buttons!Thanks,Jonny

I am trying to recreate the yearbook for my high school graduating class (1966). Since it is 95% pictures, I am targeting a fixed format ePUB book (and a Kindle format) for the final output. Exporting to fixed format ePUB, the primary TOC is properly formatted and the links to relevant pages also work. However, a secondary TOC (later in the document) which is an alphabetical list of seniors meant to link to individual 5x7 instances of the “thumbnail” images in the yearbook gets “stuck” about halfway through the second page of this secondary TOC.  Looking at the links tab, the 5x7 photo of the point it gets stuck is listed as a link but with no associated page.  I created a TOC style for this secondary TOC and a paragraph style for the captions for each photo. I then ad that caption paragraph style into the TOC style. As noted, this works for the first dozen or so entries then stops. The problem apparently is the missing page link but why is it missing? The pages are

Hi please how to do I do a simple paragraph space in an InDesign document? In Word, you press the enter button but this does not make a space in the InDesign template I am working in when I press enter. I have tried changing the space before and after values in the paragraph settings. But even then when I type enter after a paragraph, the cursor just disappears altogether and anything I type doesn't show up on the page. 

-Windows 11 Pro, version 24H2-latest version of InDesign (20.1 x64) - 2025-brand new powerful Dell XPS 8960 The entire Roboto Condensed family is properly installed on my computer via the font installation files (not Adobe CC Fonts), and all of the font weights show up in InDesign except for 'Roboto Condensed Bold'. It is working properly in other apps such as Word, even Illustrator, but not InDesign or Photoshop. A while ago, Roboto Condensed Bold was 'added' on Adobe Fonts in Creative Cloud (but not installed). I then 'removed' it in Adobe Fonts, and installed the Roboto Condensed family via font files on my system. All of them work in InDesign/Photoshop except for 'Bold.' I'm thinking there is an issue with my system's font registry or font cache? But the problem only shows up in InDesign/Photoshop. Already tried uninstalling all Adobe apps + CC desktop, running the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, re-installing the apps, log out, log in...still have the problem:&nb

Hello, I'm a rookie user of Adobe Indesign and creating epub docs so I apologize ahead of time for the gaps in my learning. I have a paperback version of a book ublished on Amazon (I did not do the publishing/design work), and I'm attempting to publish a Kindle version on my own. So far I have done the following-1. Opened my two final draft files for my paperback, the cover final and interior final.2. I made a few font substitutions as needed.3. Exported both the cover and interior files as ePub reflowable. 4. Opened both files in Kindle Previewer. Most of  the interior looks good in Kindle Previewer. The exception is that the table of contents somehow now appears at the end of the book instead of at the beginning. Also the title page merges with the copyright page instead of being separate pages. I also have photo caption pages at the end which now are all spread out and sloppy.  The cover design looks fantastic in Indesign and looks good to go. In Previewer t

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! I will present my problem first and add all the long-winded details below in case that helps or anyone can relate: Can someone please dumb down the new cloud/storage changes for me?Adobe support by chat and phone yielded mediocre results on my end, but I still do not understand the overall gist and how we'll work on our pages each week going forward. I have no idea what I saved and where. >>Please keep in mind, we aren't exactly idiots, but we are painfully ignorant regarding inDesign. We learned just enough trial by fire to ultimately produce desired result each week, and because my standards and time available seem to hover at low... what we were doing was a win for me. We are VERY aware we do not come close to fully utilizing this software. We (myself and one coworker/friend) own a (still-in-print!) weekly newspaper in a very small town. When we took over in 2018 the owner was still physically COPYING AND PASTING every item to
