Indesign 2020 file opens off screen

[ateague70]

I upgraded to indesign 2020 and even before this my files open off screen and much larger than my monitor. I thought this would have been fixed in the 2020 version. Anyone know a fix for this?

I am using Windows 10

So I tried everything even working full screen, and files still open HUGE, like 2 monitors worth, and off the screen. I attached a shot of how files open when in full screen. will Indesign ever fix this? is there somewhere i can report this?

Have you tried reseting the workspace?

If you can't see the workspace, double-click on the title bar area.

Once it resets, close ID and reopen.

I guess maybe because I dont work with indesign full screen, I need to access files on my desktop and like to easily see whats there.

I prefer to keep my programs maximized (on both my Mac and Windows computers).

It looks like you are on Windows 10*, so to swtich to the desktop quickly, try these techniques to see if you like one:

• Click in the lower-right corner to switch to the desktop
• Press Windows key + D (for desktop)
• Use the File Explorer in the Taskbar after opening a folder and setting to the desktop (and keep it open)

As an aside, I also like to dock my panels and create custom workspaces. That way the panels don't cover up my document.

*Screen shots are really small on uHD monitors, so it's hard to tell.

Edit > Preferences > Interface > Panels > Open Documents as Tabs.

Make sure it's selected.

I do not use the tab function, it is just a personal preference. It still should not open like that.

If you turn it on, you can then drag the window to where you want it.
