In find and replace, the ability to find within a 'story' or to the 'end of story' has disappeared - meaing you have to F&R the whole document - which isnt useful! Please can you resinstate it, and let me know why it was removed? Or is this just a glitch?

Works fine for me on the latest version of InDesign. See this screengrab

Try trashing your preferences if that does not work try reinstalling the software.

I'm on Indesign 20.4.1. This has been a consitent bug for maybe 7-8 years now. Restarting Indesign always fixes it but I fail to undertstand why Adobe keeps sleeping on this bug for so long.

Hello @ajx981,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Could you share more information, like a link to a sample file, after uploading it to a file-sharing service, along with a small screen recording of your exact workflow, and the problem, so I can check this with the team?

Looking forward to your response.

You need to select the textframe and then the option should appear, "End Of Story" option appears when you place the cursor inside a text frame i.e. inside the story.

That doesnt work anymore - yes, it used to be exactly that but now it's stopped working!

As you can see, the text frame is slected, but there is no "story" or "to End of Story" option.

Weird.

Did you find any way around this other than reisntalling the software for the umpteenth time?
