Questions

Hi all -- I have an indesign document published online because it has gifs in it. However when viewing the published link, the toolbar at the bottom of the browser window shows the page count as you change slides. Is there a way to hide the page count from that toolbar? When I am sharing the document through a zoom meeting I don't want people to know how many pages the document is total.   Alternatively, is there another way to save my document so I can present it with gifs but not published online?   Thanks!   <Title renamed by moderator>

which size is exactly same as demy size? a3?? 

I'm am working on a book cover and it's turned into a nightmare. Short story long, my former book distributer provided book cover templates created in Adobe InDesign which included crop marks and bleeds on the template. That way I knew EXACTLY where to place my title, images, and so forth because I could see where the cut off lines were. Now I work with a different distributer, and, unfortunately, their book cover template is not compatible with Adobe InDesign. So, I took the measurements from the template to create an InDesign document. The spine width is perfect, and I'm able to add the bleeds with InDesign, but NOT the crop marks. Just got my proof copy from Amazon. The title, at the top of the page, is nearly cut off. Yikes! Not having the crop marks visible on my document is a serious problem. It's my visual cue for knowing exactly where the top of my page will be will be cut off. Yeah, I get it that I can add the crop marks when I export my file. However, I need to see the printe

Is there a way to make my chapter numbers automatic when I apply the master page? For the chapter start page I have a separate master page and my Chapter number text box also inside that master page. Tried everything. But its not working. Someone please help. 

Somehow, changes have occurred in the latest versions as to how text wrap affects objects on separate layers. I used to be able to create a photo collage on a bottom layer, and then create a top layer with text wrapping around graphics only on that layer. Now it seems that text wraps around everything from top to bottom.  I understand that I can "ignore text wrap" for specific text objects, but that doesn't solve my problem. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.   <Title renamed by MOD>

I have a simple proof-of-concept document attached in which adding a footnote to the first line adds extra space below the second line if the third line is set to split columns.    Weird, huh?   Will someone take a look and tell me if this is really a bug, or if I'm hallucinating?   Thanks in advance!   <Title renamed by moderator>

I want to apply a GREP style to all occurences of "Times" where it occurs after "the" (or "The") and begins with a capital letter.As I am still new to GREP and learning (and have not come very far in this yet 😊) I would appreciate your help in formulating this.

In my linked word document I have a number of styles which also exist with the identical names in InDesign. When placing the text (and thus creating the link) I select as follows: My problem is that if I have placd the Paragraph Styles in groups, the styles are recreated as doubles when I update the word document. Does this mean it is not possible to group text styles if I want them to work with a linked word document?

I bought a HP Printer which works fine with many applications, but with InDesign, it prints just blank pages, not the document

I just got a Macbook Pro M1 Pro (16GB Memory) and I keep getting "Your system has run out of application memory" whilst using Adobe software. After about an hour of using InDesign and Illustrator simultaniously I get this pop-up and am forced to quit one of the programs to free up memory space. On activity monitor it shows InDesign using 70GB+ of memory with only 2 or 3 documents open after only a couple hours. I also noticed that when importing an image into an InDesign document, the application memory goes up a considerable amount. For example, importing a single 1MB image increased my InDesign application memory by 2GB. I previously had a 16GB Intel Macbook Pro and never had this issue. 

Hi everyone,Since updating InDesign to the latest version, I've noticed that a very important feature to me has stopped working.Previously, when I randomly moved an object, I could easily check the exact vertical and horizontal distances (in cm, inches, pt, pixels etc) it has moved by going to Object > Transform > Move. The window would display the vertical and horizontal coordinates of the last movement. However, now these fields are blank and no longer show the information.Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?Thank you!

Hi Community,I can't open Indesign and Illustrator since this morning. They both worked fine yesterday.I myself did some trouble shooting and can't seem to work. I have ran the other adobe apps and the following works well: Photoshop Beta/ Audiditon Pro / Premier Pro / Bridge 2024 / AcrobatI attached the error code in the following post.  Troubleshooting process:1. I deinstalled Indesign and reinstalled Beta / 19.5 / 18.0 each twice.2. I ran Disk Utility and processed the first aid3. I restart my computer in safe mode Indesign Error Report: Date/Time: 2024-08-09 13:47:52.271 -0700End time: 2024-08-09 13:49:30.519 -0700OS Version: macOS 14.5 (Build 23F79)Architecture: arm64eReport Version: 49Incident Identifier: EFADBAF8-BA7B-45FB-A813-773E151B759EData Source: StackshotsShared Cache: 3406AD1B-2469-30EB-9863-5DCE861E6DEA slid base address 0x180f44000, slide 0xf44000 (System Primary)Shared Cache: 03FF7F1F-0B2B-3DA3-9879-86BA9BC31444 slid base address 0x197590000, slide

Hi y'all!I am experiencing a strange "bug."I want the right running header (based on the chapter title paragraph style) to be in small caps, but it only works for the first six letters, and the rest are normal!I tried setting the text variable in the master page as small caps, but nothing changed.Here is a screenshot.  Any ideas for a fix or workaround? Thank you!

Please note - I have lots of experience with PhotoShop but am very new to InDesign. I have some pages that were created for me by a graphic designer and all I want to do is edit one single word in the document. I can select the text using the type tool, but when I start typing the new word it loses all formatting. The other thing that I notice that is odd is that I can get a type cursor to start before the word or after the word, yet it will not allow me to place a type cursor within the word itself.Is there something I am missing that is preventing me from simply updating the existing text and retaining the same formatting? I have read all the help articles on editing text in InDesign and still cannot figure this out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have an issue with my threaded text frames. The text frames are threaded on my master page and ID is set to automatically add pages at the end of the text paragraph (first setting under automatic text flow). When I place my text, the text is placed in order on each page. But when I now format and break text to the next page, it sometimes happens that the text is not moved to the next page but jumps several pages to the end (like 2, 3, 5, 4). I can't really recreate it, sometimes it happens, sometimes it is still in order. Can someone help if I need to use a different setting or if this is a bug? Thanks!   <Title renamed by moderator>

Strange when a spread is not aligned. Pages are the same format.Is there a hidden feature?

This is going to drive me NUTS. Where the heck did my master/parent pages go?  There no longer at the top like they usually are. When I click on the dropdown (three bars), the option "Parent Options" is grayed out, so I can't even click on it.  No other option makes sense. How can I get them to come back? I appreciate any ideas, TIA.

Dear friends,is thare a way to set the Ctrl - space bar input in inDesigh as it was in Page Maker? I.e. for switching between the two latest controls? It would be very usefull.Thank you. 

Is there a way to return to a source link for a text anchored item in InDesign? For example, I have a glossary at the back of my publication, which I've linked with text anchors... once a reader clicks on the term in the book, they are directed to the appropriate glossary location but there is no way to get back to the page they were originally in. Is there a function to be able to return to the source spot wihout having to create a new text anchor? I have over 150 terms so trying to avoid having to do all this manually.    <Title renamed by moderator>  

Hello,  I'm running the latest version on InDesign on a MacBook Pro. A file i worked on last week, now won't load the font I was using (Bliss 2). It appears 'pinked out' and the dialogue box says it's not installed. FontBook now doesn't 'see' any of my 3rd party fonts, but if I try and re-install them, it says that they are already there. I can Duplicate, or Skip, but the 'Replace' function is greyed out on the dialogue box. I tried Illustrator and it seems to have no problem at all seeing them. Any suggestions to fix it very welcome. Thank you.  

Since indesign dialog windows remain behind the indesign program, none of the keys are active. Shouldn't the dialog window always be at the front? I've been facing this problem for a few versions.

Hi everyone,I'm experiencing a strange bug (I think?) where the third digit in the page numbering does not 'follow' the type of numbers I have set (all numbers should be proportional lining, the last digit remains at the default setting). There are no GREP styles used, no character styles applied.Has anyone else encountered this issue or a solution? The font is Syne.Thanks in advance!

Hi all,I'm trying to export a simple InDesign file with three photos, a bit of text and a gradient to a jpg file but the jpg file is blank - just a white sheet. It saves fine as a png. Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong? 

After using InDesign for a day or two, the right hand tool menus show nothing, they are empty.Mostly Character, Gradient, Effects and a few more. Things I have already done to try to remedy the issue have been: reset preferences, force quit, uninstall and then re-install. After a few days it happens again. Really annoying. It has been happening for almost a year now. Even after wiping my computer last year, and reformatting my computer (for other reasons). It happens again after 1-3 days.I have been a Graphic Designer for over 30 years, InDesign's performance just gets worse and worse ever since it has turned into Creative Cloud only software. Don't tell me I need a newer model computer.Working on a 2019 iMac with Sonoma 14. Adobe InDesign 2024 V19.5

I imported a text from Word file  and most of the last lines are cutted in the middle, with the rest of the line on the next page. How can I correct that ??
