InDesign 2021 keeps crashing randomly. Its getting quite frustrating now and I have a several deadlines fast approaching. I've attached the crash report

Apple iMac 2020 5K retina 27

CPU: 3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7

Memory: 72 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

Storage: 2TB SSD

GPU: AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT 8 GB

I suggest first of all you reset the InDesign preferences.

1) Close InDesign
2) Double click on Adobe InDesign's icon to launch it
3) QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (for Windows) or CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift (for Mac OS X)
4) When a dialog appears, ask you “Delete InDesign Preference Files?” Click Yes.

(If you don't see the question do it again.)

Thanks for the reply, I've done the above and will keep an eye on behaviour this morning. Thanks
