Hello community!I have a huge table that spreads over 40 pages in an InDesign file.   This morning after opening the file again, the table looks empty and uneditable.   However, if I right-click and do "Edit from copy Editor" I can see all the content.   Does anyone have an idea how to revert the table to the previous appearance?   Here is what I tried so far:1. export imdl 2. export template file 3. Copy/paste the table onto other files 4. delete all the other spreads to see if display performance was causing the issue Please help me guys!     <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hi,I'm trying to create peg labels for a children's classroom.I want to merge my .csv class list into an indesign document where I have 6 peg labels per page.HOWEVER - Each label has a picture of a rocket behind the name but the rockets are different colours which is where I'm getting stuck:a) Creating a multiple merge gives me the same coloured rocket duplicated across the page.b) Merging the names into 6 text boxes on top of pre-drawn rockets gives me the same name repeated 6 times. The only way I can see to make it work is to link the rocket background image as a merged image, i.e. create a colum of linked imafes in my .csv file. Is there a way to achieve this without having separate linked images? Thanks

Hi! I am working on putting Arabic text into an InDesign document that is currently in English. I've switched my Language preferences to English/Arabic and reinstalled the InDesign app. I'm trying to copy, cut and paste the Arabic translation from Word into the InDesign document, but when I paste the selected text it shows up as blank. Any help troubleshooting is much appreciated as I have limited experience with InDesign. Thanks! 

Hi InDesign Community, Recently, I have had issues with printing InDesign documents.  We have our brand gold colour which is CMYK: C35, M45, Y90, K30 For some reason, when I export the PDF it looks a gold colour, however, when I go to print, it turns out a dark green colour instead.  Would anyone know the reason for this inconsistency? Could it be the print settings when I export the document? Or if anybody has had this issue before with certain colour codes and how they fixed it? Thanks so much!     <Title renamed by MOD>

Hello, Today I had to configure Apple Mail on my Macbook (M2) that I didn't use before.  The funny gift was if Apple Mail is open in InDesign some shortcuts doesn't work, like space bar (hand tool) ora duplicate object holding down Alt.If I close Apple Mail the InDesign shortcuts start working again. Have you ever notice that? The same thing is happening with my colleagues Best,Francesco

Hello everyone, Im running a Mac Studio M2 Ultra with an XDR display. When I go through my INDD file clicking on links and such the display tries to preview but it gives me  black (no preview). Then if I move my mouse the black preview is almost attached to it and I can move it around just by moving my mouse. Seems like a video card issue to me. I tried recording it using "Screen Recording" (Command/Shift/5) but of course it works perfect when I have it recording. As soon as I turn off the Screen Recording it goes right back to flaching big blocks of black. I recorded it with my phone. Im going to post those. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a long document with chapters. Each chapter has different color elements. One of those is the headings in the chapter are that color. Rather than creating a style for ever single chapter, I was wondering if there was a way to have the base paragraph style and then character styles to change the color. Is there some way to automate applying the character styles based on chapter?  Something like  if chapter is 1 apply chapter 1 heading style, if 2 then apply chapter 2 heading style.  Maybe GREP or a script but i'm no good at writing either of those. Any suggestions?

Hello,  I'm having trouble with the colour picker.    If I want to colour a box / circle etc black, it responds by making the colour grey.  If I want to colour the box pink, it responds by making the colour green.    I'd read up online and a few suggestions were to clear the cache (which I did).    It's a bit annoying as I can't continue with my work.    Does anyone know what to do?   Many Thanks.   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hallo,ich habe ein Inhaltsverzeichnis aus verschiedenen Überschriften im InDesign Dokument erstellt. Hier habe ich verschiedene Ebenen und verschiedene Absatzformate benutzt. Ich habe nun das Problem, das die Überschriften nicht in der richtigen Reihenfolge angezeigt werden. Auch durch schieben in eine andere Ebene wird die Sortierung nicht in der richtigen Reihenfolge dargestellt. Hat jemand einen Tipp an welchem Punkt ich hier noch etwas einstellen kann um die Sortierung zu beeinflussen?

I'm trying to create header images for a document I'm designing for work, and figured I'd use the Text to Image function, since it's worked well for me in the past and I wanted to save time by not hand drawing something as minor as a header. Prompts are getting me the right images and style is exactly what I'm looking for, but it absolutely refuses to honor the dimensions of the frame I've created, despite selecting "frame dimensions" in the drop down. I've done this probably 50 times before with frames of all shapes and sizes, and it's worked well.   Because it's a header image, it's 7.5" x 1.5", so long and narrow. The best it can do is 7.5" x 4.275" and can't be cropped to fit without losing so much the image is unreadable (mountains on one side, descending into plains).   I've tried it in Photoshop as well, with the same issues. Being able to use Text to Image for odd sizes like this would be incredibly helpful. If it only honors aspect ratio, why have a frame dimension o

I am building a template for a clientThe template was designed originally in FrameMaker by my supervisor. It was visually approved by the client so design decisions are final. I need to build an InDesign template required by the client for quick adjustments and translationsI have found a way to create a Table of Contents using multiple Paragraph Styles and I am able to update master page headers using a running header through Character Styles and a text variable. Unfortunately, due to the document design being concrete, I'm running into problems with how the template is to be built and I could use some guidanceMy original thought was to have a chapter introduction using a 'Heading' Paragraph style, and dividing each chapter into sections using a 'Sub Heading' Paragraph Style as this would allow the Table of Contents to automate properly and handle linking to each section. Because the designs are concrete, I am unable to add a chapter introduction. So now I have to figure out a way to i

Hi There, When I publish my InDesign documents online to share for review with my client, they are automatically shared with cp_system_user@adobe.com and cp_system_client@adobe.com (see attachment). Can anyone tell me why? And where I can delete these users to share with? Kind regards, Dineke

Hi Everyone,  I dont know where the disconnect is happening in InDesign 2024 new update - but whenever I place logo pngs that were perfect in previous versions of indesign, they place blurry & pixelated as if the link were broken. I guarantee links are correct, high quality display is selected - and the image files were placing perfectly before. Is anyone else experiencing this issue in InDesign?    While Im on the topic, when I export jpgs and pngs from InDesign as well - they export low quality at Max 300 ppi - and I was told I have to now export at 2400ppi (which makes the file huge and unable to use on some platforms).
