Indesign Interface, Tools and menus have disappeared

I have come across a problem I have never seen before.

I opened Indesign CC tonight and all that I could see was the Mac Menu at the top with Indesign, File, Edit etc - but nothing else. The workspace, tool bars and icons are not to be seen.

Thinking it was a corrupt file I deleted Indesign and re-downloaded it. It made no difference. I also loaded Indesign CS5 and got the same problem.

When I did download the fresh version instead of “open program” the message I got was “up to date.”

Anyone know what I have done and how to correct the problem.

Thanks.

You probably hit the Tab key by accident. Click Tab again and see if you get back your menus.

Ellis,

I tried that, it made no difference.

What puzzels me is that I used the cleaner and deleted the program, including preferences, I then downloaded a fresh copy. I expected when I opened it up it would be back to default. But no, it returned to just the mac menu bar.

I even installed Indesign CS5, a different program, and it reacted the same way.

The program recognises files, open files and saves them, but I just cannot see them.

Thanks
