Hi, I need to create a table where there is one, two, and then four columns. However, I can't seem to create this without affecting the other columns. For example, if I add four columns, all the rows have four columns. Is there a way to achieve this in InDesign?Thank you!  

Still newby here....I want to important images to my ID document but they are always in a container which drives me crazy when i want to move them or resize them. Can I import or place them without the whole container thing....thank you-- SF

Is anyone else having difficulty moving text frames/boxes or when trying to move a placed image in a frame?Every time I do this the frame or image I am trying to move jumps to the right hand side of the screen and the only way for me to move them is to click and drag to the far left.

Working in InDesign 2024, version 19.5.2 (MAC) - unable to upgrade to 2025 as I would need to get the new M series. I literally just downloaded an image from the web, which is RGB and 72ppi. In the links it does show up as RGB and 72 actual PPI and a higher effective PPI.    If I was saving this for the web, sure it's marginally ok... but if I wanted to save this for a commercial printers, I should be saving the images at CMYK and 300 ppi... and it would get flagged if I attempted to 'package' this file But, I was wondering why my 'Preflight Panel' isn't showing up as errors. I have other files where overset text is there, and even the Preflight Panel' or the 'bottom here' gets flagged.  Questions:1. Why isn't my preflight  panel working or at the bottom of my app frame not showing the errors,e ven though my document is set for 'Print' presets. 

Hi gang, I am reading a lot of user posts about InDesign not being able to move objects on the 2nd monitor.   Is it related to the Windows 11 update KB5050094 patch issue?  Or is it a cross-platform issue? Or is it more an InDesign version issue? Or is it a new issue on its own?

Hi, everyone.I have a problem with Publish Online that I´ve searched all over the web and still didn´t find an answer. I am uploading a few ePubs from InDesign CC to Adobe Publish Online with the DOWNLOAD PDF option enabled. However, when someone tries to download the file, the browser opens a new tab with a the message Bad Request displayed. I´ve tryed different browsers, and even desabled my antivirus when uploading the ePubs, but still didn´t work. Can someone help me, please?

There are no parent page thumbnails in the pagepanel in Indesign 20.1. Still, “show thumbnails” is checked in the panal options. Is this a bug?

I'm having real trouble with InDesign with moving objects or text frames. When I use Select to click and drag /move anything, rather than it move from it's current location, it seems to automatically relocate and move from a position way over to the right/down???I have tried resetting my preferences. The only way I have resolved the problem was to uninstall and reinstall the software completely... This solved the problem for about 10min but the issue has come back?!! Any help much appreciated as I have failed to find anything about this problem online. The screenshot I have shown is where I have used Select and clicked in the centre of the square (blue outline shows where it then 'jumps' to). The problem started with both versions I had installed of InDesign.It's not an issue with my mouse as I have no problems with other software including Adobe Photoshop etc.PLEASE HELP!!!   THANKS  

I've written some Texts and Greps in my FindChangeByList file. Now I'm willing to have a dialog box, in order to see the number of changes at the end of running it. How can I have that?

Ich habe in InDesign ein automatisches Inhaltsverzeichnis erstellt. Nun hat sich der Umbruch nochmal gändert. Muss ich ein neues Inhaltsverzeichnis generieren oder gibt es eine Funktion, wie sich die Seitenzahlen im aktuellen INHVZ automatisch ändern?

This problem just popped up today. I've been using Indesign since 2001, so a long time user and familiar with how it works. Indesign was updated 18 days ago, so I doubt it was related to anything in the update. I have two monitors: 43 inch 4k TV and a 23 inch monitor. The issue is this: I made the indesign window moveable and moved it to the 2nd monitor. Suddenly the window is like glued to the right side and I can't move it back to the left. I can resize the window using the left side of the window left or right, but the right side is absolutely glued to the right and it is so far right that I can't see much of the window. I changed the display settings of Windows to use only one monitor (the 43 inch), but it's the same issue. In order to get back to something I can use, I have to restart Indesign and trash the user preferrences (CTRL-ALT-SHIFT). Then if I keep indesign in full screen mode, it works ok, but I can't change to a moveable indesign window or the problem starts all over ag

Good grief - how do you turn this adjustment thing off? There is no selecting or deselecting option. And, yes, I followed the link Steve posted.

Hi grep and script experts;I want to select all paragraphs that start with a number and end with "END". But I can't select all of them because there is a table in the paragraph. Can you help me? 

Olá pessoal! Tudo bem? Ontem eu estava editando um documento de ebook no Indesign (versão mais recente) e upei ele na nuvem enquanto limpava memória pro meu computador (ele tem 9GB). Então quando fui baixar hoje novamente, ele simplesmente não finaliza o download e aponta erro na sincronização. Já fiz de tudo, reinstalei os programas, a creative cloud. Vi se era hardware, testei em outros computadores e tudo mais. Mas sempre dá o mesmo erro. Não sei o que fazer, o pior é que as duas copias estao na nuvem e nenhuma baixa  

I'm currently building a new InDesign template for our monthly journals, and I'm encountering an infuriating bug with text boxes that feature rounded corners. Now I'm well aware that the corners can start to mess with your inset spacing when using a large radius for your rounded corners, but in this case the radius is very small (just 0p4 radius with inset spacing of 0p6). The problem I keep encountering is that the top margin/inset space fluctuates by at least a full point depending on the size of the text box, which just shouldn't happen. Even changing the radius to just 1 point does not resolve the issue. Just changing the size of the text box with the handle bars in real time, you can see the text in the box jump up and down as the top margin keeps changing. And of course removing the rounded corners effect immediately fixes the problem, so it's obviously tied to that.Now of course there are plenty of work arounds for this, like just creating the box with the rounded corners separa

When I export a PDF from InDesign 2025, I get a file that is dimensionally larger than the InDesign file.It should be identical in size.How can I control the PDF export to be the correct / identical dimensions? When I export as a JPEG and open it in Photoshop, I get a file that is exactly the 297mm wide that it should be (A4 landscape) . Exporting as a PDF and I get a PDF that is about 384mm wide, so a linear scaling of almost exactly 130%. It is driving me nuts! I've tried exporting as CS4, opening in InDesign 2024, exactly the same. I have searched here and on the web, and found lots of suggestions about turning crop marks and bleed, etc on and off, but it's not that. (and lots of AI-generated nonsense that is talking about controlling file size of a PDF output, not dimensional size) Do you have any thoughts on what might be causing this madness, and even better, how to correct it? Many Thanks Stephen

I have a green background box and have placed a pair of photos with the background removed, which are mean to allow the green background to be visible and uniform across the entire file. The images and background appear accurate and uniform in indesign but when I export as a pdf and print, there is a slight, but noticable tint difference between the image boundary boxes and the background, producing a slightly darker box around each image. Any ideas if this is a print, export, pdf or indesign issue?

   El viernes pasado compré e instalé InDesign 2023. Ese día y el día siguiente el programa funcionó bien (es cierto que salía un error relacionado con Adobe Cloud, pero eso no me impedía usar el programa). Hoy, al ir a abrir un archivo me ha sucedido lo que se indica aquí. He probado a desinstalar e instalar tanto el programa como Adobe Cloud y sigue apareciendo el problema. No sólo al abrir un archivo, sino también al abrir el propio programa.

I work on Wall Calendars. Each month has a photo and a description. On the back of the calendar there is shown once again the 12 month pictures (much smaller) and their descriptions. Is there any way to make it so that when I add the picture and description to the Month page, it automatically creates the smaller instance and text on the last page. I know I can copy paste, but I am creating many different calendars and I want to save time any way I can. I am using the latest version of InDesign.
