For example:Frame 1 Text linked to InCopy Frame 2 Table linked to Excel Frame 3 Text linked to InCopy   I get it to work but when I try to thread the frames the link to Excel dissapears.

Hello, I hope you can help me becsuse this is driving me nuts and I cant figure it out. I want to create an EPUB book with indesign and so far I have managed to solve all issues by looking around / YouTube / ChatGPT etc. but I cant solve this one. So what I simply want is a text besides an image. If I place an image and then place a textbox besides it, it will look fine in InDesign but after converting and reading in an eReader the text will appear below the image. And if I make a text box and place inside a table and then an image to the left, and a text to the right that actually works BUT then the table gets split across 2 pages. I also had  to put a text box inside the table which is also in a text box so the image wouldnt get distorted in an eReader. Also the whole text box will overalap with the previous content in my document, althought thats only a nuissance for me because after converting thats fine. And if I anchor the textbox to inline then I dont ha

Currently this is more an irritant that anything — but I worry it will lead to something more problematic. Whenever I launch InDesign (19.4.0.63) the application opens an old file. This happens whether I launch InDesign from either the Dock or Applications folder OR if I open an exisiting file (which launches InDesign). What I've tried thus far: Deleted the .idlk file — there was one the first time I experienced this problem but now doesn't appear to be one in that folder. (I've experienced before if a file crashes the .idlk file lingers, but it's always gone away on relaunch or ever so rarely i've had to manually delete it).Tried saving (overwriting) the file when closing InDesign after being prompted (which I am each time).Tried saving the file w/ a new name.in /username/library/preferences I deleted the Adobe InDesign folder and com.adobe.InDesign.plistRan Apple Disk Utility. None of these have worked. Any thoughts on how to fix this issue?Thanks in advance!

This slightly edited version of indesigns standart example script AddGuides.jsx does nothing different, but it remembers the dialogs setting into an activeDocuments script label and next time opens the AddGuide dialog with the last used settings. Nice, if you use it often. Copy and Paste the below code into AddGuides.jsx as replacement or save as new script AddGuides2.jsx.Enjoy. Stephan main(); function main(){ //Make certain that user interaction (display of dialogs, etc.) is turned on. app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll; var _ObjectList = new Array; if (app.documents.length != 0){ if (app.selection.length != 0){ for(var _Counter = 0;_Counter < app.selection.length; _Counter++){ switch (app.selection[_Counter].constructor.name){ case "Rectangle": case "Oval": case "Polygon": case "TextFrame": case "Group": case "Button": case "GraphicLine": _ObjectList.push

Hallo, ich habe beim starten von InDesign 2023 (18.0) das Problem, dass das Programm beim starten einfriert.Es gibt zunächst eine Fehlermeldung, die sofort von einem schwarzen Fenster überdeckt wird. Neu-Installation hat nicht geholfen.Das Problem tritt an mehreren Rechnern (Win 10, Win 11) auf. Allerdings nur dann, wenn der Rechner Anbindung an das Internet hat. Wenn ich die Verbindung trenne, wird das Programm einwandfrei gestartet.  

  Hello everyone,   We are almost through half this year, and I cannot imagine how quickly time has flown in this (almost) post-covid world. People in most parts of the the world are back to their offices, travel routines, and meeting friends and family.    And YES!, Adobe is celebrating pride month, so June just gets even better. We will also be celebrating fatherhood this month, and all you fathers and father figures, take a bow!   Movie fiction has eulogized the essence of paternal love through Mufasa in Lion King, King Triton in the Little Mermaid,  Frederick Little in Stuart Little, and several such movies that we recommend for your playlist this month.If you aren't in traveling distance to meet your father this year, we suggest creating a photo book in InDesign as a gift to your father using Andrea's tutorial in this newsletter. What could be more heartwarming than a collection of your favourite moments with your favourite person?   If you wan

I updated to the most recent version of InDesign and now my files have a severe lag time. I've noticed this happens in a few different scenarios: If open a file that was created in an older version of InDesign (even the previous version 19.4) If I start a new file in 19.5 - the program works fine. But once I start adding images into the file, anything I try to do, move, click, right click - has a 20-30 second lag time.   Is anyone else having this issue and if so - is there a way to fix this? When I downgrade to 19.4 - all of the issues disapper, so I know this has to be an issue with 19.5.   <Title renamed by MOD>   Things I've already tried: Restarting computer Uninstalling/Reinstalling 19.5 Resetting Preferences on Quit

HELP!    I need a copy of Adobe EDITIONS 2022.   Would you believe that Adobe doesn't have a copy they could give me.   Why do I need Editions 2022?  (Anything older than EDITIONS 4.5.)    My computer runs on  6 GPS.   I need 8 GPS to operate the 2024 Indesign.  So they gave me 2022.   BUT THE 2024 EDITIONS doesn't work properly.     Please help me!   If you have a copy, please message me [private info removed]   Thank you!   Richard de Montebello     <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hello!I am German and frequently travelling with my Computer to Spain. This year I am here for +60 days.All of a sudden my CS6 does not work.Yes, I know it is an old version... but I was working with it for the last 9 years. No issues ever! I have been to Spain about four weeks ago - for then already 30 days.Suddendly I had this massage comming up: I could not work with Indesign anymore.Then I went to Germany, deinstallend InDesign - took the license out of the creative cloud. Then installed Indesign newly, added the licenses - and could work without any issues... I did not have this issue during the last nine years... even when I was travelling. But I did never travel more than 30 days... Now I am back to Spain. I opened Indesign - and the whole trouble occored again. It seems I am not able to use InDesign in Spain - though I have got a valid license. I checked the license with the Adobe support - all correct. The support told me he can not see any problems with my acco

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me—I want to position a page item in the layout window, eg. in the center of the window, but preferably anywhere in the window.   Constraints are: 1. Do not disturb the layout window (or if you do, put it back exactly), and 2. Do not disturb the clipboard.   Is this possible? - Mark   P.S. I was wondering if CoordinateSpaces might extend to the layoutWindow, but it doesn't seem to. @Marc Autret I would be grateful to hear your thoughts as I know you've done a lot of work in this area.

Hey all!Apart from everything 'Adobe' being very slow and laggy on my new Mac Studio with 32 Gb ram, Indesign continues to get stuck on 'Creating PDF and IDML'.  Strangely enough there is no indication that Indesign is stick: when i force quite it doesn't show Indesign as unresponsive. Does anyone had this problem too and found a solution? thank you! 

Do you know of a script, utility or method to extract a list of all spelling errors, according to InDesign’s spellchecking engine, detected inside a document or a bunch of documents?

Hello, I am currently having an issue with Turkish characters in my InDesign document. When I open a new document, Turkish characters appear correctly in the Lato font, but in my current document, Turkish characters are showing as question marks. How can I fix this? Thank you.

I have some old plugins, that never will be upgraded, so I need to have the possibility running the old version of InDesign. It's running flawless on my M1 Mac with Ventura 13.5, but would like to have the new M3, that ships with Sonomera - but if that OS can't run the 2020 version, it's no good. So, does anybody know the answer to my question? Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi! I'm an InDesign newbie, and I'm trying to set the space before a heading to 0p6. However, it will only let me set it to 0p8 or 0. It seems to be connected with the grid lines—the heading appears to hop from one line to another, no matter what value I set in the "space before" box. Attached is a screenshot of the heading I'm trying to adjust ("Naming"). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had set up various continuous project libraries and they always worked great. I have assets (logos in ai format) that were always transparent backgrounds. Today for some reason, all the assets have a white background (think jpeg), when I open the graphic files in illustrator, there's no background color. This is particularly more annoying that InDesign is the primary culprit.  Has anyone had anything like this happen and if so how did you correct it?

Hello everyoneI have been using Blurb for book printing for several years--never had a problem, until now: Uploaded a book, got a message from Blurb saying that they could not print the book "due to a problem printing the file".They then say "This error is occurring due to corrupt fonts that do not correctly embed in your file which is causing issues at our print partners."The fonts in question are from Adobe fonts, the book is created in inDesign. I have not noticed any problems with the fonts. They look fine to me, they print locally and inDesign preflight does not detect any problems with them. The PDF file that gets sent to Blurb also looks perfect.I have used the fonts in question before in a book printed by Blurb and they worked fine. My first thought was that this must be a problem at Blurb but I have difficulties convincing them. No surprise there.Questions:- Has anyone come across this particular problem before and- what can I do to resolve it (other than outlining or replacin

I have a document that has quite a few paragaph borders but the different paragraphs in the border aren't merging properly. I have to change one of the paragraph's styles and then undo for it to work properly. It happens on quite a few pages and I will fix it but when I scroll to another page and return the problem will be back. All I am doing is fixing the same problem over and over. Does anyone know what I can do to avoid this problem.    Please see screenshot.   <Title renamed by MOD>

I would like to easily ensure that numbers are spaced vertically and horizontally exactly the same for each entry on a list with many number.. Some steps may have more than one line, buy the number should attach to the first line of text all the same. I have anchored the images to text, but i still need a good method for spacing it without eyeballing it.  

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone would happen to know how to fix this issue. I am using InDesign and have a doube page spread. When I zoom in, the page automatically scrolls to the left. When i go to use the scroll bar at the bottom to scroll it back over right, it won't let me select it. So i'm not able to scroll horizontally, but i can scroll vertically just fine. I have been looking into how to fix it and tried everything. Changed my mouse, did CTR+ALT+SHIFT when opening, closed and opened the app, and reset my computer. What else can I try? It's only in Indesign that this happens, and not just on one file, I have opened other files to test too and it won't top doing this, thanks 

Hello, I was supposed to translate INDD files from InDesign in SDL Trados, so this file had to be saved as IDML file.Now that the translation is complete, I needed to open these IDML file back in InDesign. I discovered that some texts that I translated in Trados are missing in InDesign now.  Could it be that my options in Trados were not set well before importing the indd file before translation or should I have changed something in InDesign, please? Thank you for any advice.
