Generative Expand is grayed out (not working) in Indesign 19.5.

What a bummer.

Hi Peter,

Please select a frame which has an image and empty space to enable Generative Expand feature.

Thanks

Generative Expand is still grayed out for me also, even with the box selected with an graphic inside.

does the box have empty space or does image fill the frame? it will be grayed out if the latter is true

Great!

I'm delighted with case-transformation in the Find/Change dialog box.

I wish it had a small-articles-word-list to add as exceptions, just like current scripts have.

[Jean-Claude Tremblay]

We can create a small-articles-word-list by using a Negative LookAhead place before the \w+.

FInd:

\b(?!(at?|and?|but|by|for|in|nor|o[fnr]|the|to|up|with)\b)\w+

Change:

\u$0

Here, for the words: a, at, an, and, but, by, for, in, nor, of, on, or, the, to, up, with

Since it took so many years to add a history panel it must have been an extremely complicated task programmatically.
I am full of appreciation for Adobe.

[Alastair L]

i wouldn't equate time spent wait for a FR added with time taken to develop said FR 🙂

[headTrix Training]

How cool! Generative expand is everywhere! I'm sure this is gonna be a big change for Indesign!

[ungatara]
