Since we updated to CC, I have a very good chance of this not working evey time I try it. Maybe 10% of the time, it will select the word/line as it should.  My prefs are identical for this feature as they have for the past several version of InDesign. We have the same problem on two Macs here.  My partner also has trouble with copy/paste in InDesign and Illustrator as well.     Anyone experiencing the same?   Message was edited by: bradboutwell - Typos     <Title renamed by MOD>

I am using Extended Script to create a dialog in InDesign. I’m reading data from a .csv file to get a list of names and for each name, checkboxes are created to let the user decide on some options in regard to each name before continuing with the script. Everything works perfectly fine in regard to the script, including the user’s choices with the options. However, given that all that clicking to check or uncheck checkboxes can be time-consuming and annoying, I would like to add buttons to my dialog that allow for toggling of all the checkboxes used for the same option for each name. I got the toggling logic done and it works like I want it to (which I know from the one version of this that works, see below) but I cannot get the dialog to actually show the changes made. When the user presses a button to toggle some checkbox groups, nothing happens. I use .update() on the dialog and I’ve also tried some other options such as moving the dialog, disabling and enabling it again,

I am updating my KIndle book...updates to the paperback are done. My first try on the INDD export to EPUB process was successful, but I don't like that it has justified the text margins. I recall that the designer, early on, showed me that version and I didn't like it. (Opening it in Apple Books, it looks fine--no justification.) He went back to work on a different solution. In closing out the project, they delivered individual PNG files, INDD files, and PDFs--warning me that their solution had been unusual. I think they created the ePUB files from the PNGs. Does this sound plausible? I have created PNGs of the 10 corrected pages and could work with those--but don't know how. Can someone direct me to a site with directions for this process? PNG to ePUB?? I have 2 attachements.   <Title renamed by MOD>  

I am editing a book in ID and have a strange wrapping issue. Take the line...Let us by all means explore together!"and by chance the final double quote comes at the very end of the line or rather just beyond it. In that event it wraps by itself as a lone character. I can fix this by making a small change to the tracking for that line but surely that should not be necessary. I would expect together!"to be treated as one word and kept together. Is there an option in the para style that will fix this?

Really hoping someone can help as my inDesign is essentially useless right now. I have tried everything to get inDesign working since the upgrade but nothing is correcting this bug/issue. Since upgrading the interface just ignores almost every command. I can't select swatches, can't change font types, and many other bizarre things. I can make changes if I just click like 20 times in the same place but nothing is working as it should. I have tried everything from importing my settings from my other instance of iD, to completely uninstalling the program and reinstalling. Here is a video of me trying to perform the simplest task on a completely fresh install.    I am beyond mad right now as I have wasted half a day already just trying to get back to some type of normality.    <Title renamed by MOD>

Bonjour,Impossible de mettre à jour le lien de révision message d'erreur "une erreur s'est produite lors de la mise à jour de l'artefact" Ce n'est pas la première fois que des problèmes sont constatés pour révision.Pourriez-vous m'indiquer la marche à suivre pour éviter de devoir tout fermer et redémarré en vain à chaque fois ?Merci !

Formatting newbie author, who, for some strange reason, hit the return key after EVERY SENTENCE. I just want to remove all those extra returns --ONE PER LINE--but leave the return that naturally goes at the end of the paragraph, which begins a new indented paragraph.I attach a screenshot of the situation I recreated with a chunk of text from one of my own books, so you can see what I mean. End of paragraph is, "you woke up"; "I fell," begins the next indented paragraph. Hard to see, since those other returns make everything indent. Anyway, I wondered if find/replacing beginning of paragraph with an asterisk (or hashtags) will allow me to find all of them after I somehow figure out how to remove all extra ones. Like a command, "Find and replace all hard returns, except when they precede an indented paragraph."

Howdy?I have a couple of completed manuscripts done in Indesign.I synced all my styles and chapters and made the books.All went well.However, I want to change or add some text to one of the chaptersand wonder if I have to re-sync for the changes to go through.I believe that is correct and the same process is used as the original syncing. Does this sound correct? Can anyone confirm that for me? Thanks

Hello, I am trying to align my text to the top of the frame, the lines are not aligned to the baseline grid, the text frame options were set to cap hight, but it still won't align. What am I misssing?   <Title renamed by MOD>  

I wonder if it is possible to create mini cells within a cell just to make a color of? How do you do this? See attached with the grey boxes filled under weeks of the month. 

InDesign becomes unresponsive and crashes ALL the time!!! It is my go-to program for my design documentation, but I am unable to complete a single presentation document without the software crashing at least once! I'm a Mac user and keep both my Mac and Creative Cloud apps up to date, has anyone else had similar problems?    I use a combination of image files (jpeg, png and pdf) and Adobe fonts in my documents.

I shared an Indesign file to a colleague who used the "replace text" function to make changes.Is it possible to add text replacements just by clicking a button in the "review" panel, and not by copying and pasting each piece of modification?Best regards,

Does anyone have suggestion for an excellent up to date YouTube tutofrial covering how to convert an InDesign document that was designed for print to ePub? I found 2 good tutorials (below) but they are 9 years and 7 years old respectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBiOheSPECYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DdGXxvoRBs

I have a text frame and I want to move the ruler origin to the top left coordinates of the textframe. i.e move the zero mark to Top Left side of the text frame. I know it can be done manually but I need this in my code. Here is the code which I have writtten but for some reason it is not setting the value. var myDoc = app.activeDocument; // Ensure there is a selected text frame if (app.selection.length !== 1 || !(app.selection[0] instanceof TextFrame)) { alert("Please select a single text frame."); } else { var textFrame = app.selection[0]; var txtBounds = textFrame.geometricBounds; var txt_y = txtBounds[0].toFixed(2); var txt_x = txtBounds[1].toFixed(2); rulerOrigin = [txt_y,txt_x]; myDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin=rulerOrigin; I am getting following error:Error Number: 30477Error String: Invalid value for set property 'rulerOrigin'. Expected RulerOrigin enumerator, but received ("336.00", "103.20").

Bonjour, je souhaite supprimer la partie "Polices récemment utilisées" dans le menu déroulant Polices de Indesign afin, je l'espère, d'atteindre la position de la police sélectionnée dans l'ordre alphabétique. Tout cela pour faire mes recherches de début de projet en faisant un tour complet de mes polices. En effet, ce "Polices récemment utilisées" me ramène toujours en haut de la liste charge à moi de retouver la police sélesctionnée et les suivantes à tester. Il doit y avoir un endroit pour configurer cela, le menu déroulant de d'illustrator est conforme à mes attentes, mais je ne trouve pas comment faire… Merci 

I was working on my design portfolio when Indesign suddenly crashed. Although my file is saved on the creative cloud, every time I try to open it, Indesign crashes straightaway (this happens only with this file). Then I tried to download the file from the cloud, however, an error occurred each time so it won't download at all. It says that my file is 700mb so I'm sure everything is still there. Can someone please help me as the file is for my uni assignment? Thanks!

I am working on a little book with my friend. I used Adobe Illustrator to make the cover and in the pricess of working with InDesign to make the book. I am new to KDP book formatting, but have used these programs before - there is so much murky information out there its a bit overwhelming.  I was hoping to receive some help to make sure that I am starting out with the right dimensions/template for the print version interior pages of the book.  Interior pages: Black and White only with no bleed. (Small black and white images at each chapter.)  Paperback trim size: 5 x 7.5 inches (custom size)Page Count: 24-150 pagesInside margins: 0.5 inchesOutside margins: 0.5 inches  Also posting here the document size etc.  Also any free resources to learn about this process (design with Acrobat programs to publish with Amazon for both print and ebook) would be awesome - it has been a steep learning curve for sure.  Thanks so much! 

Hello!I put a multi-author anthology together last month and using tutorials got it so that one of my Master page types always took the author name from "Section" on the right-hand page header. I am not sure what that tutorial was, I seem to have lost it. Now, I have deleted an extra page that was occurring halfway through, and although I've successfully applied the right master pages everywhere after the subsequent pages got shuffled forward, the first instance of the master page in each story now has the wrong author name. I need to change what sections apply to ehich pages, but I'm not sure where to do this. Can anyone help please?

Hi! I can call an ExtendScript script from a command line or batch file just by using its path, but is there a way to pass parameters to the script? Thanks. -Rick

Is there a script to set all columns of a table at once to a specified width value?I have almost 50 tables with column widths that need to be adjusted to the same value.I can only use the align to reference line method for now, as too many is quite time consuming.It would be nice to have a script to set it.It can set how many columns there are and specify the width of each column.Thank you.

Hello everyone,I recently upgraded to Indesign 2023 (v. 18.1) and I can not scale the user interface in the Preferences menu because the slider is greyed out. I know I should try downscaling the resolution of my monitor but it did not work. Is there anyone who found a fix? Thanks for any kind of help!
