Question

Indesign saving and corrupting files

Is anyone having trouble with saving InDesign files? 

I have been working on a project and as soon as I want to save my progress, the 'save as' pop up box will come up, and it will not allow me to save my file due to it being 'damaged'. 

Even if I open older files I've been working on, all of the images are corrupted. 

 

The only way I've been able to fix this and save my work is by restarting my laptop and re-opening InDesign. After I do this everything works until the next time I shut down my laptop. 

Any suggestions?

That's certainly odd behavior. Have you tried resetting InDesign's preferences?

Here are instructions on how to do that if you need them: Set preferences in Adobe InDesign

Is it just one file, or all files? Could it be related to a font your using or recently installed?
