Question

Character styles freeze when I try to enter and edit (change a font.)

Weird: Suddenly my character styles panel does not allow any style to be edited. What could have happened?

Clarification: I click on Character Style 1 (eg) and nothing happens. Iclick again and I receive an error sound.

What operating system?

What version of InDesign?

All files or just one particular file?

 

One step that is common fix is to reset your preferences

Delete InDesign preferences with shortcuts
  1. Windows: Shift+Ctrl+Alt.
  2. Mac OS: Shift+Control+Option+Command.

If just one file try File>Export and choose IDML

Open that (opens in InDesign)

Thank you.

The Shift+Ctrl+Alt did nothing (although Windows 10 Pro did ask for permission to change this PC when I launched ID.)

 

I am using a current uptodate .subscription of the MENA Ver.

This is happening to all files in all languages.
