Trashing prefs has been the accepted answer for 25 years. A post can be marked as correct by a moderator or the original poster.   As for your issues, too many variables from fonts, 3rd party plugins, drivers, etc. Honestly, I get the frustration but I doubt you're going to see anything change. ...

I'm sorry but corrupt prefs are just a way of life with this software. If you want to report it as a bug or feature request, do it here: Adobe InDesign.   And I don't work for Adobe; I'm just a lowly volunteer. And finally, I've been using InDesign since 1999 (well before cc libraries) and I have not once had to reset my preferences due to any kind of corruption. You're free to disagree but I'm telling you based on my experience that the chances of every single user avoiding preference corruption is zero.   If you're running into these issues constantly, I suggest looking deeper into your system configurations. ...

Short answer: Nobody here can help. You can throw yourself on the mercy of Adobe but I doubt using the "my computer is old" argument is going to get you anywhere with them.   And please, in the future, for your own benefit, do not re-open old discussions. It's a good way to have your issue ignorned since many people won't even see it.   I'm going to lock this to avoid any future confusion. ... View more

I missed this part of the discussion which is why I just brought it up myself.   I think of the OP's purpose Word would be much easier than bringing a mess of OCRed text into InDesign. I suppose, if the OP has a full CC subscription, the tools in InCopy might work out as well.    So, I guess the question for @Ira Glunts is how experienced were you with Pagemaker? To be honest here, it's quite a jump to InDesign but at least it's a foundation. ... View more

I'd echo what Brad is saying here about getting someone with experience involved and taking it one step further, I'd be tempted to do the editing of the OCRed text in Word (save the PDF as DOCX) and then start thinking about style with InDesign after doing the cleanup there. Word is built for the editorial part of this job.   One other thing, you've gotten the attention of some of the top folks here, but you might want to start splitting this into separate discussions for specific questions. This could start getting confusing and something could get lost in the mix. ... View more
