What's the shortcut to remove all character formatting?   <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi All, i'm suffering from a weird problem: nothing wants to use the original folder exept the export command. When i try to replace an image the program navigates me to the last used folder. Same when i try to package a document.  I've tried to delete all the preferences. ALL of them. I've emptied all the cache. ALL. Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign: the newly installed app tried to package into the last used folder (!?). The Preferences>File Handling> Default Relink folder menu does nothing. I can switch it but nothing happens... Same issue with other apps (Illustrator, PS, etc.).   I feel i'm stucked with the problem. Please HELP!    Regards,Balazs

I have some ExtendScripts to import XML files into a template. They were developed some years ago using InDesign CS6. They worked fine.Currently I'm using InDesign 19.5. When importing an XML file it is adding a dot at the end of each paragraph. I don't know how to avoid that, as the XML text already has the dots and it is duplicating the dot.My input file is something like this:<paragraph>Text paragraph 1.</paragraph> <aid3:br/> <paragraph>Text paragraph 2.</paragraph> <aid3:br/>I have realized that removing the <aid3:br> tag it does not add the dot, but it neither adds the line break. I just want the line break to be added.I have these configuration properties:with (app.documents[0].xmlImportPreferences) { importToSelected = false; importStyle = importType; createLinkToXML = false; allowTransform = false; repeatTextElements = true; ignoreUnmatcherIncoming = false; importTextIntoTables = true; ign

Dear Community, In the process of teaching myself InDesign, I can't seem to get any further than the placement of a manuscript (Word Doc). Each time I try -- and there have been many attempts! -- the text refuses to snap to the guides. I've tried aligning it as well as I possibly can: when I pull it down to the lower righthand corner, I do see that tiny red square with the cross inside, but when I click on it, a little box appears that says "rectangle" and asks for "options"! From then on it's pretty hopeless, and whatever I do, I create new objects (rectangles 😉 ). Which obviously isn't my intention. Also curious is that the text itself remains highlighted, as if it's in some kind of "limbo." Does this sound familiar? I've looked around on Internet (and here) and tried various suggestions, but nothing has worked so far.  All my settings seem to be accurate. I've even tried using different texts, thinking that perhaps the fault was with the text itself. I hope so

I'm hoping there's a script for this one but I can't find it after Google searching. I have an object frame on a page and need to copy and paste it into a new file but the new file needs to resize itself to the exact size of the object frame being copied. This will save time in checking measurements for multiple object frames. One at a time is great, but the abilitiy to select multiple object frames at once and it creates multiple Indesign files for each object frame at their respective exact sizes would be even better. The new pages need to have 3 mm bleed added to the page. If it can also add 3 mm bleed to the object frame as part of the same script even better. But Robert at ID-Tasker has already helped me with this amazing script "Resize height and width of multiple sized objects by adding the same measurement to each object" which I can use after it's created the new page file with the framed object. After bleed and fitting image to frame and naming/saving

Hello, I'm building document in ID and have specific question I couldn't address myself: I'm using Paragraph style to build automatic Table of Contents. Some pages in my ebook doesn't have place for Header, or any other text, because they are full-page picture. How can I still include title of such page in ToC?  Let's say it will just say "Poster" My idea for workaround is to place some white (invisible) header undernath the poster, for ToC to cath it, but perhaps there is cleaner way to do that? Any tips?

Why does text wrap work when the graphic frame that TW is applied to is at the top margin, but there is additional space added when the graphic frame is further down the page? It doesn't appear to be related to leading or space after a paragraph. In the image below, the bottom graphic frame is within a paragraph, but the same thing happens when a frame is between paragraphs. And sometimes moving the graphic frame DOWN brings the text UP, but not to the top of the defined text wrap.   

as this old content of pluginconfig.txt dosnt work any more after 19.4, I wonder what it should be instead. Havnt found any examples that makes this clear... =Path=Exclude:Plug-Ins:UI:InCopyFileActions.InDesignPlugin:Plug-Ins:UI:InCopyFileActionsUI.InDesignPlugin

Hey, I have a problem - Table of contents does not include Headers defined by Parent pages. I set up document with a couple of parent pages, containing headers, that shall be included in Table of contents. Unfortunately, none of headers placed thanks to parent page are included in ToC. If I insert standard text paragraph next to the one applied by parent, and asign the style that should be included in ToC - it works (such a header will be included in ToC).I set up section markers but this doesnt seem to change anything in problem - if I create a header outside of Parent page, it will fetch Section marker as the one from parent page, but the independent one  will be included in table of contents, and parent-placed one not. Any tips how to solve this? Additional question - if I have pages with no place for header, but would still like to have this page included in table of contents, with some title, can I just add White title at the bottom of such a page, and include

Hello,I have used the PlaceMultipagePDF script to import a pdf into InDesign. However, all the pdf pages have a bleed and trim marks included which means that when they have been imported in the actual content is off-center.Is there a way to center-align to page ALL of the pdf pages in the document at once?I have tried using the AligntoPage script but that still only seems to align one page at a time.Many thanks in advanceHanniel

Hi, I'm an architectural student, currently working on my portfolio. In this portfolio, there are many drawings with specific line weights. When I export to PDF directly from AutoCAD and view the drawings in Adobe Acrobat, the line weights are properly displayed. HOWEVER, Here's my problem;If I place the  AutoCAD-PDFs in an InDesign document and export them again with absolute maximum PDF quality, the line weights are then displayed incorrectly in Acrobat (they all get a lot thicker and a bit messy). The line weight information is not lost though, which can be seen by printing the PDF on paper or zooming in while in Acrobat. This means that the PDF files made by Indesign have a different script for how they are to be viewed on-screen. Now I know that some of you might say that I need to use the setting "Fix Hairlines" in Adobe Acrobat. Even though that works, I don't want to rely on the assumption that people viewing

Hi!I would like to create an InDesign file with the same specifications from the attached PDF print template.What is the best way to do this? I have already tried importing the PDF, but it fails when creating the print mark and the print mark area. It is also difficult to define the exact printable area with auxiliary lines. Is there a simple solution for importing the dimensions in exactly the same way?Thank you very much!

In dumping some text from Word into ID, not a good practice I grant, I noticed some strange differences in the para marks that I have not noticed before. I have done an attached screenshot and annotated the various marks. The usual para mark I see in automatically entered text is the one in the green circle. However some of the para marks are bigger and examples are the red circles. I then noticed that the paras ending with the red circle mark leave slightly more leading before the last line (which of course I don't want).And then I see there is a third variety in the clue circle.The para style for all these paras is identical and very vanilla, separating the paras with a 3mm Space After.I would be grateful for an explanation of the different types, whether I should/could change one for another, and how to correct the 'last line leading' anomaly with the red circles. 

Hello! Since I've been using InDesign 2025, the software automatically puts numbers in brackets (e.g. (8)) in superscript and I can't figure out how to deactivate it. Clicking on the superscript button doesn't work to change the character back to regular body text. Has anyone encountered the same problem?

I am primarily a developer with limited knowledge of InDesign but I have run across a problem that I have attempted to solve in multiple ways but have yet to figure out.  We have documents in four languages.  The English and Spanish documents accurately export to HTML and PDF.  But when it comes to Chinese text, I have some issues: 1)  If I export a document in simplified Chinese to PDF, the text appears correctly until I copy and paste it, it then reverts to traditional Chinese when pasted to a new dopcument.2) If I export the document to HTML, it only displays as traditional chinese. This seems like a font issue.  The traditional chinese documents uses a font called MHeiHK and the simplified uses a font called MHeiHKS.  Those fonts are referenced in the InDesign document and appear in the css of the respective documents: MHeiHK in traditional chinese and MHeiHKS in simplified chinese.  I have used both legacy HTML format and the newer HTML

I have Split Document (EPUB only) selected and it's not holding when split document based on paragraph style export tags is selected. Anythoughts on why?

I'd love to be able to rearrange blank document presets in InDesign.   The four options that show on the new document popup are presets that I'll never ever have to use (Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Letter-Half). I'd much rather re-order the presets to show A3, A4, A5, A6 first etc.     <Title renamed by MOD>

We are an advertising agency and work with an imac mini (model A2816) with Sonoma. We work with Adobe programs. Unfortunately, the Finder crashes very often. This usually happens when we place files like images from our server into an Adobe program or drag data from the server onto the desk, but also simply while working. All programs crash and the Finder. The Finder cannot be restarted either, so we have to restart the imac. We've tried everything but nothing helped. Unfortunately, a reboot on Ventura is not possible. Anyone else having these problems?

Is it possible to find character text, e.g. Italic, and convert it into text written in “quotation marks”?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi,I have a circle of 8mm and I would like to write a number inside it from 1 digit to 3 digits.Single digit will be in different font size, double digit in a different size and 3 digits in a different size. The issue I am facing here is that I can see lot of space inside the circle but the moment I increase the font size, there is a an overset text. I have also changed the baseline to fixed. Screenshot and idml attached. What can be done to increase the font size without overset text. I am planning to use Numbering list option to populate the numbers inside the circle. Thanks
