I need to insert pages into the middle of a document that has continuous text flow between pages.Each of the new pages has one text frame. I have connected those two pages together. But I can find no way to connect preceding pages to the input of the first new page’s frame, and the output of the last new page’s frame to the input of the subsequent page.Any attempt to link the frames with the input or output handles creates a new text frame on the clicked-on page. I found that to connect the two new pages I had to Shift-click each one’s text frame so they were both selected; but this is impossible with the preceding or subsequent pages.Any insights appreciated!The two pages in the middle need to be inserted into the flow. 

I installed the latest update to version 21, and InDesign won't launch. It doesn't give any errors, but it won't start. It doesn't do anything at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. Version 20 works perfectly, even the beta version 20.6. I tried reinstalling it by deleting the preferences, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling the Creative app and reinstalling InDesign, but that didn't work.Bridge does the same thing, but it gives me error OXC0000142. InDesign, on the other hand, doesn't have any errors. Old Bridge works, but the beta version doesn't I have windows 11 last updatedWhat can I do?Thanks a lotNicola

I have chosen some regular text, and I want to get the horizontalOffset of the first character after the longest character '：'.The horizontal offset of the word I circled in the picture.May I ask how to write the code? Thank you very much. 

I made a document on Apple pages and I want to transfer it to indesign. I want the background and everything that was in pages into indesign like copy and paste. And I wanna edit the text and the images and elements. If there is a zero cost solution pls let me know thank you

I am having a problem with a file I received from another designer. Specifically, she used the Barlow font family from Adobe Fonts for some of the text treatments, however, even when I activate all the available font families she linked to on Adobe Fonts, some of the font variations are being found but two of the font variations are not being found. See below image. Given that these fonts should be the same ones from Adobe Fonts, how do I resolve the issue? Is it possible that this issue is related to the operating system (I am on a Windows PC)? 

File A  File B Hi everyone,I'm trying to reproduce the paragraph/tab formatting from one InDesign document in another.I've attached two screenshots:File A = the correctly formatted document File B = the document I'm trying to formatIn File A, the section entries are formatted so that:the section number (e.g. 3.) is positioned at approximately 2p9 the section title (e.g. Right to information) begins at approximately 3p0 the Tabs panel shows tab stops at 2p9 and 3p0 the Paragraph panel shows Left Indent = 3p0 and First Line Indent = -3p0In File B, I have set the Paragraph panel to the same values:Left Indent = 3p0 First Line Indent = -3p0File B also appears to have tab stops at 2p9 and 3p0.However, I cannot reproduce the behaviour of File A.For example, in File B I have:4. Central Registrar.If I place the cursor after 4. and press Tab, the tab character is inserted, but the text after the tab does not jump to the 3p0 tab stop.The same happens when I try inserting a tab before the section

So I have sets of illustration in separated artboard (same layer) in Illustrator. But when I am importing it to InDesign, some parts of the illustration is missing. It occurs on some illustration, especially reused graphic asset from Freepik. Funny enough, this isn't happening using the previous version of Indesign. Right now I am using the current latest 21.0 (not beta). What I have done for the workaround;saved into a new file, only the error artboard. not working.saved the error artboard into EPS, works. But I wish everything works in native format.  

I want to develop a plugin similar to Word's Track Changes feature. Looking for clear guidance on where to start.It should include the following functionalities: Building a Plugin Panel: The panel interface should roughly look like this: a. dropdownlists to view changes from version XXX to version YYY. b. An "Add" button to create a new version. c. An "Accept All Changes" button. d. A toggle to enable/disable Track Changes. e. A "Deletion Show State" toggle: Toggles the display of deleted text between a small red dot and strikethrough text. Deletion Tracking: When text is deleted in real-time, a small red dot marker should be generated. Clicking the "Deletion Show State" button on the panel should toggle the visibility of the deleted text, displaying it with a strikethrough effect. (Note: This should be a custom visual effect, not InDesign's built-in strikethrough formatting.) Insertion Tracking: Newly added text should be displayed with an underline. (Note: Just like the deletions

Ich wünsche mir eine Aufgabenliste, die man ggf. sogar abhaken kann.Damit kann ich in jedem Dokument sehen, welche Aufgabennoch offen sind.  

I have documents with “Page A of #” on the Parent page.  If I add a page to the document, I currently need to manually change the Parent Page.  Is there a way to automatically update the number of pages - the “of #” - when a new page is added to the document?

I am finding that my computer is heating up to an unusual level and the fans are activating when I use InDesign, even though the tasks I’m performing are very basic and not at all demanding of the processor.My computer is a MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro chip, purchased in April this year, so it should easily be capable of performing these tasks without needing to activate the fans to cool itself down.My version of InDesign is definitely up to date and I have tried uninstalling InDesign and reinstalling.Is anyone else finding that Indesign is putting unreasonable demands on their processor? 

I’ve done this before, but now I can’t get it to work (Windows 11 Pro; InDesign: 21.5.1). The font is Aviano Flare. I want to always substitute a specific “A” glyph. None of the Open Type Stylistic Sets work. How do I set up a new one? Also, do I need a style for both upper- and lowercase “As”? What am I forgetting or doing wrong? Many thanks for your help! 

Okay, I don't know if anyone else has this problem; however, I keep having it, and it's really annoying and frustrating because for some reason the Contextual Task Bar in Illustrator or InDesign keeps acting up by only moving in one place up and down not all over the screen like it should be and I've tried to save all my stuff, exit out, and reopen as well as turning it off in the Window section of both applications and nothing and I have no idea how to fix this so if anyone knows a permant solution to this please tell me cause I'm lost and I would really appericate it so much! Thanks so much in advance!-vevegirl13

I have looked at the issues but the posts are 11 years old . I have tried to sort and it’s still happening. ANY ideas welcome.It’s something within resolution, double screen I THINK but i have tried multiple options. Any ideas?

"Hi everyone,I recently switched to a new MacBook and I am trying to set up my workflow. I have several ongoing projects that were created using InDesign 2024 (version 19.x).To ensure the layout and formatting of these existing files remain perfectly intact, I do not want to convert them to the latest version of InDesign at this stage. I specifically need to install the 2024 version on my new machine to continue working on these files.However, when I check the 'Other Versions' section in the Creative Cloud Desktop app, the 2024 version is not listed or available for download. I have searched through various Adobe help pages but haven't found a direct download link or a way to make it appear in the app.Could someone please guide me on how to access and install InDesign 2024 on a new macOS system?Thank you in advance for your help!"

We're experiencing an issue when attempting to relink missing assets stored on an SMB network share.EnvironmentAdobe InDesign (Latest Version)Files stored on an SMB network share.macOS (Fully up to date)The ProblemWhen a linked file is missing and we choose Relink in InDesign, searching for the filename returns no results, even though the file exists on the SMB share.However:Finder can locate the file immediately.Spotlight also finds the file without any issues.Screenshot 1 Attached – InDesign Relink search returns no resultsWhat We Have TriedWe found a script that can be run from within InDesign.

I’ve been using a competing vector program for creating braille signage and wondered if there was any plans on having this be something Illustrator or Indesign could incorporate natively so that I can stop using the other program entirely? The workflow currently with adobe products is:go to some conversion web page like brailletranslator.org paste text in for the conversion, copy results go back into my Indesign doc using a braille font with a CA Standard paragraph style (that I’ve created)This works for making 1-10 signs, but I’d prefer to have this be something I was able to merge from a CSV file as we typically need to create 100 individual signs at a time--which the competing program will also not do. It does however have a TEXT TO BRAILLE and BRAILLE TO TEXT option from the TEXT menu and a panel that looks a little like this:  

This feature was installed without my knowing it. It slows down my workflow because it takes forever to do a conversion and the cancel button doesn't work. I've accidentally activated it about four times today. I want to turn it off/uninstall it, but the Adobe page describing the feature doesn't tell me how. It's a beta, so I should be able to opt out. Anyone know how?

Hoping that someone can   help me. I have  several documents that all have numbered paaragraphs. I'm creatign an index so would like the index reference to not only show the page but also the paragraph. I see there is an option for  custom cross refeernce - but I don't know how to  add the  paragraph number. And in this index I only want to reference the first occurrence of  the item.  Any scripts would be most useful and appreciated.- so for example the bolded word Cape North needs to be indexed - it is on page2-11 and paragraph number 11, South Point - page 2-11, para #8.  and so on. In fact , all the bolded words need to be indexed. It seems like a script  should be possible for this. 

Hello everyone,I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) running macOS Catalina 10.15.7.The latest versions of InDesign in Creative Cloud are not compatible with my OS, and the "Other Versions" option is not available in my account.I urgently need to install InDesign 16.4 (or any 16.x version compatible with Catalina).If anyone still has access to the official .dmg installer for this version, could you please share the download link?I have an active Creative Cloud subscription, so I will activate the software legally - I only need the installer itself.Thank you in advance for your help!Best regards,Junna

Since updating to InDesign 21.5, exporting/saving a story as InCopy (ICML) can omit a table's column width dataEnvironment: InDesign 21.5, Windows.Is this a known/tracked bug, and is a fix scheduled? Is there a recommended workaround in the meantime?

Mac, OS Tahoe 26.3.1 (a)In the past I have had this problem with Illustrator and Photoshop. Now it sometimes appears with InDesign as well. If I try to drag the active window to another place on my screen, by dragging from the top of the window, it disappears behind all other apps currently open. Oddly, any free floating palettes stay on top. If I can still see a part of the window, I can click on it to bring it back to the front. If not, I have to go to the dock to bring it forward. Nothing is lost so this is an annoyance rather than a real problem, but why does it happen and why is it now happening with ID as well as the others? 

Since this post seems to be marked as resolved after the Adobe Community update and it isn’t resolved, I’m creating a new post and linking to the old one. All the relevant information can be found here (at least all of the information that survived the Adobe Community update -- there are several missing posts). Long story short -- when you install Windows Security updates, some system fonts -- Times New Roman for me -- throw a missing font error in InDesign. This error only goes away if you uninstall the Windows Security update. More detailed info can be found in the linked post.This issue has been going on for literally months, since last November, and we’ve got bupkis to show for it -- less than bupkis now that some of the original posts have been nerfed with the Adobe Community update and the original thread appears dead. Adobe. Please. Help. This is beyond frustrating now...
