Paragraph Style Window Not Working

  • January 9, 2023

Hi!

I'm working in several InDesign files that have a variety of paragraph styles. I typically access them through the Paragraph Styles window, but for some reason the window does not show anything, including the bottom toolbar (add/delete/clear overrides/etc):

 

However, my paragraph styles are visible in the drop down menu from the toolbar when the text tool is selected/in use:

 

I've tried closing/reopening the window, restarting InDesign, restarting my computer, etc. The Character Styles window is having the same issue, but the Cell Styles and and Object Styles windows are functioning properly. InDesign is showing it is up to date (Version 18.1). I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise. The first time I encountered this issue was halfway through the work day on Friday and it is still an issue today/Monday morning. It's happening with every file I'm opening, and all of these files were working just fine last week. Any help would be appreciated!

    Well Rishabh, that person spun on, but I came here with the same problem, and I'll share that your page was exactly what was needed. One more person had their workflow unstuck here.
    Thanks!

      When you're having problems viewing the content of panels, it often helps to restore your InDesign preferences. Try this:
