Questions

In Microsoft Word, when you create a mail merge, there's an option called <<next record>>. What's the equivalent of that in indesign so that I can have more than one field per page? Until now, all I have been able to accomplish was to get each text box on my page start from the beginning of my list so that they all said the same thing instead of them being a continuous thread.

How likely is it that you would recommend INDESIGN...?This is a bit funny 😄when I start INDESIGN this morning it shows me the screen "How likely is it that you would recommend INDESIGN..." and then it froze the image on the screen and I had to force close indesign.Apple M1 32GB, Sonoma 14.7

For the love of god, can the AI popups please stop? Not just in InDesign, but also Illustrator, Photoshop, everything?Make AI features a dropdown menu, like everything else. If they keep getting in my way while I'm trying to work, I'm going to lose my mind. Sincerely, a longtime designer about to leave Adobe from all this nonsense

Hi I'm looking for a script that will flip all objects on all pages of the document on the unlocked layers only. I have a script that I found here that will flip only the object selected but that is very tedious (and can also be done with the transform tool)  when I'm dealing with 250+ page documents. Thanks for any leads!

Whenever I try to change the default font to a different one in InDesign and click on the arrow my file just freezes and the only way to shut it down is through the task manager.

ID CS2. I'm trying to figure out how to turn off automatic text wrapping. Every time I place a graphic or draw a text frame in this particular document it automatically has a text wrap applied. I'd like to be the one who decides when I want a text wrap. Must be a setting I flipped on somewhere without meaning to.

After updating Indesign, it has lost all the preset color profiles. They are still available in Photoshop and Illustrator, but I am unable to export pdf:s from Indesign with other color profiles than the defaults that Indesign has. Also it does not load profiles even if I try to load them manually. Has anyone the same problem, and how have you handled it? I need to use uncoated for newspaper advertising, so this is really a problem. 

Hi all,So I am tasked to make edits to an existing 100+ government report, that was originally created by some ooutside agency. Some of these edits ares deleting/adding and reordering endnotes. For some reason in this document someone edited in some manual endnote and not the "Insert endnote" along the way. I am trying to fix that. So I deleted the Endnote pages at the end of the docment, all the manual ends in the body as well and started from #1 and redid them. All was well until i went to insert endnote #16.... when i do that in this document, it automatically makes #16 > #14 and makes the original #14, #15 above it into #15 and #16. So now 14 is below 15 and 16. And if I go to add what would be originally #17 it makes that one #15 and renumbers the 15 and 16 above it to 17 and 18... #14 stays tho in what should be the #16 endnote. What am i missing? Is there some underlying setting or macro or something that is dictating this. I figured removing the original endnotes and st

I am trying to export an InDesign file to PDF and am receiving two error messages.  First - "This document contains links to files/URL(s) that are not accessible.  Please check your network connectivity or the original source of content."  Second - Failed to Export the PDF file."  Preflight window there are no errors.  Links window are to the placed photos.  I can't find a URL or email address in the document that is not correctly associated under the hyperlinks window with the real URL or email address. I have read to export as a mark up file and have done that, but to no avail, continue to receive the error message.  Document is a two page bulletin to be emailed to a group.  Operating system is Windows 10 Pro.

How do I create an interactive checkbox inside a table and have control over its alignment with other checkboxes and make the spacing equal between other boxes? 

Greetings, I seem to have encountered a strange issue with an InDesign file, where there is an object on a Master Page in one of the book files, that I want to remove, yet I cannot even select it (not even using force-select), see screenshot below for more detail. It's as if it is embedded into the page/background somehow, even though it's a text box as far as I can tell. I tried deleting the Master Pages with that item, then importing Master Pages without that object from other files in the Book, but then said object magically appears on the newly imported Master Pages as well, even though it's not there in any other file within the Book. Any ideas? It's the "Return to Table of Contents" box.  

I want to make a multilevel list in the following manner: I. Title1.1 Subtitle1.2 Subtitle1.3 SubtitleII. Title2.1 Subtitle2.2 Subtitle However, if I set the first-level numbering format to I, II, III, and second-level numbering to 1, 2, 3, 4 with the numbering as ^1.^2^t, it will display I.1, I.2, I.3, and so on instead of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3. Is there any way to "override" the parent numbering style when referencing it? If not, I think it is a quite common scenario and I would like to add this feature. 

Creating some stuff in this indesign 2025, it's a nightmare, everything lags, it runs slowly, moving fonts and paragraphs jumps, I did all the things like resetting settings etc.   why doesn't it run as smoothly as illustrator?   my computer macbook pro m2 max, 96gb ram.     <Title renamed by MOD>

I was just asked to take over a coffee-table book design project for a client in Guatemala. The original designer sent me the packaged inDesign file a couple days ago, and I find that of the 170+ images (photographs) in the book, the vast majority have effective ppi at significantly less than 300. Most are in the 200 – 285 effective ppi range, but many are less than 200 effective ppi and a few are 91. In my years doing book design, including a couple dozen coffee-table books for artists and photographers, I have stuck to the standard of 300 effective ppi on all images placed in an inDesign file. In the rare case when I haven’t had access to an original image that could meet that standard, I’ve used the PhotoShop Preserve Details resample function to boost an image to 300 effective ppi. However, I’ve never dared to do that with an image that was less than 290 effective ppi to start with, assuming a large boost would make the image look altered. I brought up the resolution issu

After I updated my IOS with Sequoia and Indesign, the new version of Indesign is horrible, I can't work because it crashes ALL THE TIME! Anyone else having this problem?

Why must bullets and numbers keyed in as part of a text block in InDesign be converted to text before covering to path, unlike in Illustrator? The User Manual teaches how it is done but not the rationale for this extra step.
