Paragraph Styles not applying to selection

Hi,

 

I've contacted Adobe support but they could only advise uninstall and install Indesign.

 

I don't know what is stopping the styles from applying to a body of text.

 

I have created a video which I've uploaded to Dropbox, and can be downloaded here.

 

Any thoughts on this?

Hi @Taso Katsionis , im having exactly the same issues with some palettes in InDesign and the guys on remote support could not help me either. Please let me know if the machine rebuild works for you or if you discover another solution. Thanks!

 


If you're using Magnet, disable it. 

 

Magnet consistently turns out to be the culprit of various issues in InDesign, including the ones you describe. 

 

There are several recent threads like these ones:

Did you check if the layer is locked or if the object with the text is locked?

Hi Willi,

Nothing is locked, I just created a simple text box with placeholder text... and then I've applied para styles.

I also just finished a remote support session a few minutes ago, and they cannot solve... going higher up possibly.

Taso.
