Question

Wondering if a prior version would be more reliable as changes are not saved apparently by CC.

WIndows 10, InDesign CC

Over and over I am finding InDesign to be unstable/unreliable. I have put my CC folder in Drive D (is that a problem) which is cavernous - I just moved it there as a supposed solution to my overly full Drive C but I continue to have the problem of saved files not saving. I know the file has been saved because of creating a pdf of some of the changed pages for a proofreader plus I LOOKED at where and what I was saving, doing "save as".

I have reset preferences as recommended.

Would it be better to go on ebay and find an older (non-CC) version?

Would this version of an INDD file work in an older InDesign version?

This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)

Let's go back to this statement..."I just moved it there as a supposed solution to my overly full Drive C". We had a similar issue with someone the forum last week, and tried everything we could think of. He solved the issue himself by making more space available on the drive where InDesign was installed.

I just noticed something odd. The previous worker laboring on this file created an Alternate Layout.

Under the pages panel, I can see that one is called: Letter V and the other is called: ...W Alternate Layout.

I did a search for an unusual phrase in a 2-page spread that I added just today (again).

Stangely, the new 2-page spread that I added today is in Letter V but NOT in W Alternate Layout. I wonder why.

Could this be related to my problem?

Is your document to be printed, if so, has it been set up with Print as the intent.

1 - Yes, it will be printed. The printer wants the InDesign file converted to PDF. I didn't know about "setting up Print as the intent". Hopefully, the prior person did that. How do I check on that?

2 - I am puzzling over which layout is which and I cannot find where the parameters are listed. I want the one for 8.5"x11" as that is the one I will want. I am afraid that I don't know which one I have been working from.

Is it InDesign version 13.0.1?

And which way is it "unstable"?

Does your equipment match the system requirements?

2017.1 of InDesign, 12.1.0.56

I can edit and save but later those 'saves' are gone, except in pdf - if I exported. I should not continue my project at this point (150+pages into it) until I can know that my time is not wasted.

Here are the systems items that I found and it looks like that part is okay:

Intel(R) Core™ i7-3770 CPU @3.4GHz 3.40 GHz

64-bit operating system

Microsoft Windows 10

32 GB of installed RAM

.99 TB of available hard-disk space on Drive "D"

1920x1080 Resolution, 2 monitors

Available Graphics memory 18412MB

Adobe® Flash® Player 28

So you create an InDesign document, add text and images and you then Save and name it and subsequently you can't find that document. You also exported a copy of that document to PDF and you can find that – is that correct?
