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 All.

I just updated to the brand new verson of Indesign (15.1, Catalina).

Now all my documents display "ss" instead of the current page.

Any clues?

Or did Adobe do it it again.....?

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about your experience. This issue has been reported by a few other users as well. Please upvote this issue here (https://bit.ly/3d5xer9) and please select Adobe Paragraph Composer instead of Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer(https://adobe.ly/3hCCSEH). Hope it helps.

Regards,

Ashutosh

I'm sure not as sorry as I am.

I have a deadline to get a large book out tonight.

This will no longer happen, because I have no page numbers.

Changing composers will not help me because it's a Hebrew-English document and will get even more messed up.

Thanks again Adobe.

Did you update today to v 15.1? If so, I recommend rolling back to 15.0.3 for now. Use the CC Desktop app to reinstall 15.0.3 and if you need help, just ask us here.

I just upgraded this afternoon to 15.1. It came out today. Everything i see when searching is years old. Can you give me a better clue?

I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but after the update today (16 July) InDesign 15.1 suddenly has all "current page number" markers put the letters "ss" instead of the page numbers. This is on master pages as well as if you put the marker on the page in a text frame itself. It's very strange, because this happens when opening any document, and in the previous version of InDesign, the page number appeared there.

This is a known issue with the World Ready Paragraph composer. AFAIK, there's no workaround beyond switching to the standard paragraph or line composer and Adobe is aware of it.

Hi ElishevaH,

this is a known bug with InDesign 15.1.0.25.

All text variables, also Current Page Number, show "ss" in every instance.

Caused by the following paragraph composers:

Adobe World-Ready Single-line Composer
Adobe World-Ready Composer

Currently the only known workaround is to use one of the following paragraph composers:

Adobe Single-line Composer
Adobe Paragraph Composer
Adobe Japanese Single-line Composer
Adobe Japanese Paragraph Compose

If you do text composition with Hebrew or Arabic then this is no option at all.

In that case revert back to InDesign 15.0.3 until the issue is fixed.

Bonjour,

Suite à la mise à jour de InDesign CC 2020 - version 15.1.x64...

Je rencontre un problème avec les notes de bas de page ainsi que pour les numérotation de page !

Tout est bien configuré pour numéroter les notes mais au lieu d'un chiffre, c'est "ss" qui s'affiche en référence dans le texte et dans la note de bas de page.
Idem pour les folios de pages.
J'ai tenté de reprendre toutes les options, sans succès.
Toutes mes anciennes notes et anciennes numérotaions ont été remplacées par "ss" !!!

Auriez-vous une piste ?

En vous remerciant,

Bonne journée

Hello,

Following the update of InDesign CC 2020 - version 15.1.x64 ...

I am having a problem with the footnotes as well as with the page numbering!

Everything is well configured to number the notes but instead of a number, it is "ss" which is displayed as a reference in the text and in the footnote.
Ditto for page folios.
I tried to take back all the options, without success.
All my old notes and numbering have been replaced by "ss" !!!

Do you have a lead?

Thanking you,

Have a good day

Merci beaucoup pour cette réponse...

Effectivement, cela solutionne le problème !

Il faut choisir "Compositeur ligne simple Adobe" dans les options de"Paragraphe" et le problème est résolu.
Lorsqu'ill s'agit d'un "style de Paragraphe", il faut faire cette modification à la rubrique "Justification". !!!
Encore merci et bonne journée

I just upgraded to 15.1 and produced a test document and included page numbers via the Master pages without any issue.

Maybe you should reset your InDesign Preferences.

I use text vraiables (form paragraph style) in a document and they worked correctly.

I think thay I have an update (I have the release 15.1 x64 actually) and text variables does not work. The text "ss" is displayed in palce of the real value of the paragraph.

I have a big mistake with text variables. When I create a new document with text varuable, thst works correctly.

When I open an existing dociment then text variables does not work ! It display "ss" when I insert the variable in place of the variable name.
