I've been working with an indesign file for a few weeks. Everything was fine, but then I opened it and all of the tools were grayed out. I am not able to select anything, and do any more work on the file. How do I fix this?

I have already tried restarting my computer, restarting my program, and picking an older saved version of what I am working on.

Thanks

That's very odd. Did you try trashing preferences?

Resulved this issue by selecting a different workspace. The work space I was in "Essentials Classic" already had all the tools in the tool bar with most of them hidden behind other tools.

This worked, used right hand to press all 3keys while invoking with left. Thank you!
