Unable to Reset Zero Point to Top-Left Corner in InDesign v19.4

Hi all.
I'm really having trouble doing something bvery, very simple for some reason it just won't work for me.

The issue is that I cannot reset zero point to 0-0 on top left hand corner of ANY page.
ID v19.4

I've tried the standard :
1. "double click" to reset.
2. Drag to the point I wish 0 to be.

But even when I do this an image still shows co-ordinates nto "0"
See screen shots below.
You'll see the image location as
X = 106.5mm and Y = 0

This is even after I've dragged the Zero point to the desired location. It just won't work for me.

As a side note, I also noticed at the same time this issue arose that when I adjust an image/text box the size increases equally on the left and right hand side of the box itself rather than the default of just expanding out to the right hand side.

I'm just a bot lost tbh

Thanks


Thank you

You've selected top-center reference point - not the top-left:

 

So the X value is half of the width of your object. 

 

The same goes for your width problem - as your reference point is middle of the width - width is increased proportionally on both sides.

Hi @SayersHome,

 

I’m sorry to hear about the frustration you’re experiencing with resetting the zero point in InDesign. I’d recommend updating to version 19.5 first to see if the issue persists.

 

Additionally, does this issue occur in a specific document or across all your files? If it’s happening everywhere, it might be worth resetting your preferences, as that often resolves these types of issues. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.

 

Best,

Anshul Saini
