I have a document with about 350 pages. I numbered the pages fine. I finished working and closed InDesign. In CC InDesign made some updates. Now when I insert "current page number", InDesign types in the letters "SS" which are not appropriate for my A Master. What's going on?

Hi there,
This is a know bug with the latest version of InDesign for text that uses the Word Ready composer. If you can change the composer to something other than this and it should fix it. See the following discussion for more details

If you don't have an option to change the composer than its better you rollback the version of your InDesign.
Update:- The fix for the bug is out in beta builds, so hopefully a fix should be out soon enough, see the link above for more details.

Seit dem Update auf 15.1 funktionieren in meinen Dokumenten die automatischen Seitenzahlen nicht mehr. Auf den Musterseite steht statt A nun ss und im Präsentationsmodus statt den Korrekten Seitenzahlen nun ebenfalls ss.

Bei Rückkehr zur Vorgängerversion besteht das Problem nicht mehr und alles wird korrekt durchnumeriert.

Hat jemand ähnliche Probleme, oder noch besser: eine Lösung?

Buenos días.

Tengo un problema con la nueva versión de InDesign. Algunas variables de texto automatizadas me aparecen el pantalla como "ss" (páginación, notas documentos, etc.) de forma aleatoria, es decir, solo salen así "algunas" variables y no sé como evitarlo o donde mirar para evitarlo.

The InDesign development team is very well aware of the problem and is testing a fix.

As soon as they can verify that the fix works (and doesn't break anything else), a software update will be issued as soon as possible.
