Questions

I'm experiencing what appears to be a bug in InDesign for Windows (InDesign 21.4.1).After updating to InDesign 21.x, I can no longer drag selected text to another position.Here's what I've confirmed: Object frames can be dragged normally. Only text drag-and-drop is affected. This happens in multiple documents, including newly created ones. Resetting Preferences did not fix the issue. The most interesting part is that, on Master Pages, drag-and-drop works on the right-hand page, but does not work on the left-hand page. Another Japanese user reported exactly the same issue on the Adobe Community forum several months ago, and the discussion remains unresolved. Is this a known bug? Can anyone reproduce this issue on Windows?The issue started after updating to InDesign 21.x. After downgrading to InDesign 19.x, text drag-and-drop works normally again.I also contacted Adobe Support by phone, but the issue could not be resolved. *Here's the Japanese thread describing the same issue. 

Bonjour Adobe,Je souhaite signaler un problème que nous avons rencontré avec InDesign 25 concernant la Fusion de données.Depuis la mise à jour, il est impossible de charger une source de données (.txt). Dès la sélection du fichier, InDesign affiche le message :« La source de données sélectionnée contient un ou plusieurs noms de champs vides. »Après de nombreux tests, nous pouvons confirmer que le problème ne vient pas des fichiers de données :test avec plusieurs fichiers .txt, y compris un fichier minimal (nom / Test) ; test avec plusieurs documents InDesign ; réinitialisation des préférences ; réinstallation complète d'InDesign.Nous avons également comparé plusieurs configurations :InDesign 25 : le problème est reproductible. Version précédente d'InDesign : les mêmes fichiers fonctionnent immédiatement. Tests réalisés sur Windows et macOS, avec le même constat.La seule solution que nous avons trouvée est de revenir à la version précédente d'InDesign.Pouvez-vous vérifier s'il s'agit d'

Hola, tengo un problema a ver si alguien me puede ayudar. Estoy haciendo un libro de matemáticas, utilizo el editor de fórmulas de indd. Cuando empaqueto las fórmulas quedan como .svg, como es para impresión, debería poder obtener un .tif, o un .eps...  cuando exporto a pdf, aunque incruste perfil CMYK, la fórmula se exporta en RGB, por lo que el pdf sale con error. He intentado cambiar la extensión... no sé cómo solucionarlo y no encuentro en foros una solución. ¿alguien sabe cómo hacerlo? 

Question: Since the spacing of the last line has not changed, special handling is needed. Do I feel a bit clumsy in my current way of thinking?Do you have a simpler science?Target: Current text box.Status: cursor in line (not selected)Original Leading: 20.8 points.Operation result: Set the line spacing in the current text box to 19.35;Exception: The last line spacing is still 20.8 (special handling required)/** @Function Add a line and apply new line spacing**/var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0];//Insert point to select the entire text boxif (item.constructor.name == "InsertionPoint" && item.parent.constructor.name == "Story") { item.parentTextFrames[0].texts[0].select();}//Setting line spacing: An extra line has not been selected at this timenewItem = d.selection[0];var oLinesNum = newItem.lines.length;for (i = 0; i < oLinesNum; i++) { newItem.lines[i].leading = 19.35}Later, I added this paragraph and was able to handle the last line, but I always

Le document final se compose de plusieurs chapitres, chacun possédant ses notes (notes de fin) dont la numérotation automatique est insérée dans le corps du chapitre après le mot concerné sous la forme d’un appel de note. Je souhaiterai en plus, en début de chaque note, insérer automatiquement le numéro de la page où se trouve cet appel de note.Est-ce possible et comment ?

I am teaching an introduction to Design in journalism for my undergraduate students. What are some good tutorials they can watch?

I am constantly having to call our IT Department to fix an issue with even opening InDesign up. They say without Adobe making a “Patch” to fix the problem, we will continue to have these issues. Please, Adobe, fix my InDesign issue once and for all. I use it all day, every day for my job.

Indesign crashes when exporting to PDF interactive when it was working fine a few months ago. published direct to my computer, contains 2 hyperlinks. Indesign Version 21.5.1This is frustrating as I am trying to keep my team working on Indesign instead of using AI to do reports. And I am losing the battle when we cannot do a simple task as exporting a pdf (single page) : this is killing our productivity. I have an apple silicon M2 Max chipOS version 14.3.1 (23D60)I hope you /someone can help me sort this out.Much appreciated. 

Can anyone explain to me why every single time there is an update to InDesign or Bridge on my machine, i immediately get the Application error 0xc0000142 unable to start correctly? I know that simply repairing Visual C++ Redistributable will fix the issue, but in my instance, that is an admin task that we are not able to accomplish without getting our IT Helpdesk involved. So basically everytime I update, I am dead in the water until my helpdesk team can get on it. It is just silly.  And yes, we have uninstalled and reinstalled both the Adobe programs and the latest C++ packages. What is the deal and how to correct this?

I updated to InDesgin V20.0 on a Mac and no matter what tool I select, the cursor/mouse pointer arrow changes to a hand with index finger pointing (see image below). This is very confusing and hard to adapt to. I also can't tell what tool I'm using by looking at the pointer as it's always the hand icon. I'd like to switch it back to the former arrow pointer or the tool that's being used but can't figure out how. Anyone else having htis issue or figured out a workaround?    <Title renamed by MOD>

When I select Paragraph or Text in InDesign file It will take time to select and then take time to deselect.Slow performance for each task why?

Depois que atualizei o INDD para a versão mais recente o desfazer parou de funcionar propriamenteSe voce fizer 10 ações ele some com as primeiras na aba historico e ficam só as 4 ultimas mais ou menos, só da para desfazer 4 açõesJa apaguei cache, remontei o cache, reinstalei e nada resolveuEu tenho 32 de ram, então não deve ser por causa de pouca memoria, mesmo porque até então funcionava muito bemAlguem tem alguma luz? Obrigado! 

Hi Adobe Team,As someone with years of experience using Photoshop and Illustrator, I find it frustrating that InDesign lacks certain standard mouse features found in these programs. This inconsistency creates unnecessary friction and makes the workflow less intuitive.Zooming with the Scroll Wheel: In InDesign, zooming requires holding the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key while scrolling. This extra step is not required in other Adobe programs and adds an unnecessary layer to memorization and workflow. Direct zooming with the scroll wheel would align InDesign with industry standards and significantly improve usability.Middle Mouse Button for the Hand Tool: Many design programs allow users to pan by clicking and holding the middle mouse button (scroll wheel). In InDesign, this functionality is missing, forcing reliance on the Spacebar. Adding support for the middle mouse button to pan would make navigation faster and more intuitive.These features are essential for a seamless user experi

While working with images, InDesign displays a continuous blue spinning indicator. Image frames cannot be resized reliably, numeric dimension changes stop responding, and InDesign eventually freezes and must be closed through Task Manager.Troubleshooting completedRebuilt and fully updated Windows 11 -- Dell Precision 5570 running Windows 11Installed current Dell-supported drivers.Installed the Dell NVIDIA RTX A2000 8 GB driver.Reinstalled Creative Cloud, InDesign, and all required Adobe applications.Confirmed the issue persists after the rebuild and reinstall.Could I please confirm:Whether this is a current known InDesign issue. Which versions are affected. Whether a fix or supported workaround is available. Whether InDesign is expected to invoke cmd.exe. Which logs or diagnostic files should be collected.

For example, I select multiple objects, and then call functions that are suitable for the content of the framework.There are two ways, which one is more efficient (more scientific)?var d = app.activeDocument;var item = d.selection[0]; var items = d.selection; var sel = items;// 00001 outer loopfor (var i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) { frameFitToContent(sel[i])}function frameFitToContent(s) { s.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);}// 00002 internal circulation----frameFitToContent(items);function frameFitToContent(sel) { for (var i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) { sel[i].fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT); }} 

Hi everyone. I am looking for a way to make a keyboard shortcut to “Break link to paragraph style”. I have tried to do it the usual way, but when I use the new shortcut, it changes (its not kept as it is). Does anyone have a solution for this? 

Hi everyone,I'm formatting a document in InDesign and I'm trying to create a hanging indent for numbered sections.For example, I have this section:17. Amalgamation or transfer of assets and liabilities or division of multi-State co-operative societiesAt the moment, when the text wraps, I get:17. Amalgamation or transfer of assets and liabilities or division of multi-State co-operative societiesWhat I want is for the “o” in “operative” to start directly underneath the “A” in “Amalgamation”, like this:17. Amalgamation or transfer of assets and liabilities or division of multi-State co-      operative societiesMy current Paragraph settings are:Left Indent: 3p0 First Line Indent: 0p0I have also attached a screenshot showing my Paragraph panel.Could someone please explain what setting I need to change to make the wrapped line start exactly at exactly below of “Amalgamation”?I'm not trying to change the font or spacing between the words — I only want the wrapped line to align with the first

I need to insert pages into the middle of a document that has continuous text flow between pages.Each of the new pages has one text frame. I have connected those two pages together. But I can find no way to connect preceding pages to the input of the first new page’s frame, and the output of the last new page’s frame to the input of the subsequent page.Any attempt to link the frames with the input or output handles creates a new text frame on the clicked-on page. I found that to connect the two new pages I had to Shift-click each one’s text frame so they were both selected; but this is impossible with the preceding or subsequent pages.Any insights appreciated!The two pages in the middle need to be inserted into the flow. 

I have chosen some regular text, and I want to get the horizontalOffset of the first character after the longest character '：'.The horizontal offset of the word I circled in the picture.May I ask how to write the code? Thank you very much. 

I made a document on Apple pages and I want to transfer it to indesign. I want the background and everything that was in pages into indesign like copy and paste. And I wanna edit the text and the images and elements. If there is a zero cost solution pls let me know thank you

File A  File B Hi everyone,I'm trying to reproduce the paragraph/tab formatting from one InDesign document in another.I've attached two screenshots:File A = the correctly formatted document File B = the document I'm trying to formatIn File A, the section entries are formatted so that:the section number (e.g. 3.) is positioned at approximately 2p9 the section title (e.g. Right to information) begins at approximately 3p0 the Tabs panel shows tab stops at 2p9 and 3p0 the Paragraph panel shows Left Indent = 3p0 and First Line Indent = -3p0In File B, I have set the Paragraph panel to the same values:Left Indent = 3p0 First Line Indent = -3p0File B also appears to have tab stops at 2p9 and 3p0.However, I cannot reproduce the behaviour of File A.For example, in File B I have:4. Central Registrar.If I place the cursor after 4. and press Tab, the tab character is inserted, but the text after the tab does not jump to the 3p0 tab stop.The same happens when I try inserting a tab before the section

I want to develop a plugin similar to Word's Track Changes feature. Looking for clear guidance on where to start.It should include the following functionalities: Building a Plugin Panel: The panel interface should roughly look like this: a. dropdownlists to view changes from version XXX to version YYY. b. An "Add" button to create a new version. c. An "Accept All Changes" button. d. A toggle to enable/disable Track Changes. e. A "Deletion Show State" toggle: Toggles the display of deleted text between a small red dot and strikethrough text. Deletion Tracking: When text is deleted in real-time, a small red dot marker should be generated. Clicking the "Deletion Show State" button on the panel should toggle the visibility of the deleted text, displaying it with a strikethrough effect. (Note: This should be a custom visual effect, not InDesign's built-in strikethrough formatting.) Insertion Tracking: Newly added text should be displayed with an underline. (Note: Just like the deletions
