Question

Indesign won't default to high quality display

I've downloaded indesign onto a new laptop and display performance keeps defaulting back to typical.

 

I have amended my preferences to select high quality as default view; view settings is also high quality; as are raster images, vector graphics and transparency.

 

However, whenever I open any document, the default display is showing as typical. 

 

Should I check or uncheck preserve object-level display settings, and enable anti-aliasing? I have tried both and neither seems to make any difference.

 

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

 

TIA

This is a Document preference. So if you set it to High without any open documents it becomes the default for every new document. If you open a document that had Typical set, it will keep that Typical setting. Solution: change it to High in that document and then save the document to make it stick.

    Thanks. I always need to change display performance to high quality in my documents for publishing or printing, but after I've saved, closed and opened them again, it's defaulted back to typical display.
