I am typing content into a text box and nothing shows up. The cursor does not advance but when I look at the layers on the page, it shows exactly what I typed as an error??? I have tried changing the font color and style?

Maybe this sounds strange to you now, but since you have shared almost nothing in the way of additional information:
Does the error still occur if you restart your computer, then open InDesign as the only program and try to write in a new document in a text frame?

Also please provide more information about your system: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using. Have there been any recent changes in your system (new OS or InDesign version)?

Hi @SDPC Front30922455i8hg,

 

We are sorry to hear you are unable to see the text in InDesign. To assist further, please share the below details-

 

  • Would you mind telling us if it's happening with every text frame in this file? Please try creating a new text frame and then type content and see if it has the same behavior.
  • Is it happening with this specific file or all files?
  • The version of InDesign and the specification of your operating system.
  • Please share a screenshot of the behavior for better understanding.
  • Please ensure that the text frame containing the text is not hidden.

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika
