Questions

I'm trying to create an index for a catalogue I'm creating, the index is creating fine but if the word is on multiple consecutive pages, it is puting each individual page number and I would like to know if there is a way to contract it down to the first and last number in the sequence, for example it currently says 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and I'd like it to say 1-7 is this possible and if so how do I do it. Thanks in advance.

Hello, In the past, I installed my Indesign to English (Arabic). I have experienced a lot of problems with this, but now I want to switch it back to Dutch (left to right). So I uninstalled and reinstalled it in Dutch, but... The option for Arabic text are still there, and a lot is going wrong in my text-elements. I placed a Word document, and look at what happens to all comma's and full stops. Also the numers are still all in Arabic. I don't know how to get them right. I jsut want my Indesign to act normal again.... What can I do??

Hi, I want to add the selected page to the section that starts on the next page (543). I thought I could just drag the little arrow above to the page, but it won't work. Need some help pls 

I have a client supplied Indd file. It's set up and an entirely CMYK document with no transparencies, overprints or anything else, so in the Indd file itself everything is all fine and dandy, but when I export a PDF one element has a transparency applied.  For whatever reason, a box with only a black fill 0/0/0/100, acquires an overprint setting that shows in the final print pdf. Opened in Ai/Rip software, overprint is switched on, but not in Indd. What could cause this setting to be applied and, is there a solution? Attached are screen grabs of the affected piece.

I'm creating Indesign files using a data merge, all information going in is just text except one, which is a link to an illustrator file. Basically, when I create the data merge, the image I want links perfectly and places the image/link at the exact size of the Illustrator document. However when our freelancer creates the same file with the same data merge, the link places the image into the box and essentially makes it fit to the height/width of the box. How do I fix this? Would there be some setting I may have placed on my Indesign that he wouldn't have? This is what the master file looks like: This is how it brings across the image when I create it:*The red box represents the text in the image, but when selecting the image inside the box, it shows that its all the way touching the edges of the box* This is how the file turns out when our freelancer does the exact same thing as me: 

I am designing a book with lots of copy and images.  All of sudden some of my pages have turned the color of the pasteboard, grey, and the pagination says PB rather than the next consecutive number. This is a new issue on top of all the other issues I have been having, like crashing all the time and then huge splshes of color go across my document.  I"m on an iMac intel and also used a new MacBook Pro with the Apple 2chip.  

Hola a todos, tengo problemas con la visualización de las imágenes desde las últimas versiones. Especialmente desde la última actualización. Adjunto varias capturas, ya que el tema es recurrente de manera aleatoria. Es decir, me ocurre, o no me ocurre con archivos que tienen una sola imágen y con publicaciones que tienen 200 imágenes. Llevo trabajando con Indesign más de 15 años y nunca me había ocurrido esto. Creo que no tiene nada que ver con la resolución de las imágenes ni con ninguno de los 3 modos de visualización del rendimiento de visualización de la app. (He probado las distintas opciones.) Tampoco creo que tenga nada que ver con las preferencias de Indesign, apartado del rendimiento de visualización. (He probado todas las opciones). El asunto ha ido a más cuando, a parte de no visualizar bien las imágenes, (aparecen con un dominante color negro y lineas de varios colores en vertical...y la imagen que debiera ocupar todo el cuadro del contenido, figura a la izquierda arriba en

InDesign is making an error sound when I try to use a colour swatch and won't let me change the colour for a fill or stroke line. The object tends to move slightly when I click on it too. Not sure how to fix these things as they never happened before!I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting my computer, and deleting my preferences.  

Hi all,   I have a gif that is not looping when I publish it to an online link-- it starts playing and then stops at the last frame.  None of the other gifs in the deck are affected-- this has never happened before. Does anyone have any guidance? Thanks!     <Title renamed bu MOD>

I drew a picture in Adobe Fresco and then uploaded that into InDesign and added to text for a project I am working on. When I uploaded the Fresco document, it's high quality and when I look at the download on my computer, it's high quality. But, when I export the document I made from InDesign, it's low quality and every thing I try to do to fix it doesn't work. How do I export high quality documets from InDesign?  btw I am working on Windows 11

Liebe Community, ich möchte meiner Tabelle abgerundete Ecken geben. Das habe ich auch schon mit Objekt > Eckenoptionen geschafft. Nun ist es leider so, dass ich farbige Spalten und Zeilen habe und die abgerundeten Ecken hier nicht funktionieren. Es wird nur auf dem Textrahmen angepasst. Ansicht im Anhang. Gibt es hierfür eine Lösung? Vielen Dank!

Hello. When one of our staff is using Share for review and creates a link, it works for a while, and then the document looses the link. The link is gone, even though she has saved the document. And when se recreates the link, it disappears again after a while. Anyone else who has had this problem and have a solution?Is there a setting we are missing? I doubt it since it works for all others at our office. Best Regars Fredrik

Since I use indesign 2025 I can no longer replace a word (Find and Replace - Zoeken/wijzigen) with a new word across the entire document. Is there an update coming that will work properly?       <Title renamed by MOD>

good morning, indesign keeps crashing for the last four days out of the blue, without having ‘touched’ anything, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program dozens of times, deleted preferences, deleted the application from everywhere on the pc even emptied the recycle bin, I have also deleted the application cache.I have also used adobe creative cloud cleaner tool and followed the instructions.I have also tried installing earlier versions than the latest and also indesign beta, I have rebooted the pc and also turned off. Indesign always shows a crash, my pc is MacBook Pro M4 and other people with the same pc do not experience this problem, I don't think it is the problem, I kindly request your assistance, urgently.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Since one of the last updates, I can no longer insert pages into an Indesign document without the text frames on the following pages shifting to the right or left. I know the following discussion (https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/new-spread-in-document-causes-all-text-frames-after-the-new-page-to-move-toward/m-p/10713049), but the solution does not work. Any ideas? 

Hello everyone,I'm currently working on developing an extension for InDesign that involves performing actions within the application. However, I've encountered an issue with one particular action, which involves fetching an EPS file and adding/placing it into the active document in InDesign. Unfortunately, the results haven't been satisfactory.When attempting to open an EPS file using InDesign, I receive an alert message stating, "Cannot open the file 'filename.eps'. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format (EPS in this case), a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."This prompts me to inquire: does Adobe InDesign support EPS files? If so, could someone kindly provide guidance on how to open or import an EPS file and place it within the document?Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Help! I can't change the fill color from the color swatch in InDesign (Imac 2020 intel). I don't know what happened. I have reinstalled InDesign 20.01 and also 19.5.1.It doesn't work with both.Do you know what happened? Thanks a lot...

I work under indesign 2023 and the application just crashes. So I uninstalled it from creative cloud but couldn't reinstall it because the previous versions are no longer offered. I cannot install the new version because I am under Catalina. I'm very bothered because I have to finish a project to send to the printer tomorrow morning and I can't work anymore. can you help me?

For example, the following expression that looks for spaces at the beginning and end of a paragraph:(^[[:blank:]]+)|([[:blank:]]+$)I'm trying to add to this the case of end-of-article, end-of-table-cell spaces.(^[[:blank:]]+)|([[:blank:]]+$)|([[:blank:]]+\Z)The result failed.But it's OK for you to separate two separate executions of ([[:blank:]]+\Z).Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hallo Zusammen,ein Kollege hat mich gefragt, ob man Illustrator in Indesign bearbeiten kann.Ehrlich gesagt habe ich das noch nie gemacht, da ich meine Dokumente gleich in Indesign an lege.Hintergrund: Da mein Kollege kein Indesign hatte bis vor kurzem bat er die Firma, welche die Montageanleitungen erstellte, diese in Illustrator zu erstellen. Jetzt hat er Indesign bekommen und steht vor dem Problem, dass er sich in Illustrator nicht auskennt und die Dateien in Indesign ändern möchte. Gibt es da eine Möglichkeit, oder muss ich ihm die Datei in Illustrator ändern und dann ins Indesign kopieren und abspeichern?

V15.0.2 I’ve noticed a strange behaviour: only on some pages and with some elements i either cannot manually override (Mac; Shift+Command+click) single items at all,or, when it’s possible, they duplicate and the locked object from the master page stays locked. Unlocking will spawn 10+ items of the same object, the original can’t be deleted. Neither is it locked on the master page, nor is the option "Allow Master item overrides" deactivated, nor is the layer locked.Reading a bit about this version, i gather it’s a bug. I CAN override ALL items and delete single objects, so it’s only a minor nuisance, but of course in certain situations this can come back to bite you in the ass. Any help appreciated!cheersHarry
