Question

InDesign(ME) Composer can not show CJK Composer

Dears,

When I do desktop publishing with CJK languages on InDesign ME,  I can not find CJK Composer, as Image 1. It is very important to Asian languages.

But In the Preferences -> Advance Type -> Default Composer, As Image 2, we can find Japanese Composer.

I really need both six alternatives to do global languages.

Could some friend help it, many thanks

Kind regard,

Lisa Li

    Hi Lisa,

    don't know if the Japanese Composers should be visible in a MENA version of InDesign.

    You could apply two different Japanese Paragraph composers to selected text with two different ExtendScript (JavaScript) scripts:

    // When text is selected:

    // Single Line Japanese Paragraph Composer

    app.selection[0].composer = "$ID/HL Single J";

    // When text is selected:

    // Japanese Paragraph Composer

    app.selection[0].composer = "$ID/HL Composer J";

    After the script's action you could build a new paragraph style out of the selected text.

    From my German InDesign CC 2019:

    Regards,
    Uwe
