InDesign and multiple monitors

New Here ,
Mar 29, 2018 Mar 29, 2018

I have looked for threads about this and haven't seen any, so here goes.

I am running InDesign 13.1 on a MacPro running OS 10.13.3.

I have three Dell monitors, the right one is vertical and it has the OS Menu bar and some [long] InDesign palettes.

The center is horizontal and holds the Application Frame, the left monitor is horizontal and holds a number of InDesign palettes.

I want the Application Frame to open on my center monitor at launch -- it opens on my right-most monitor so I have to move it every morning.

I know it CAN work because it works for Photoshop [19.1.2] and Illustrator [22.1] plus it DID work with InDesign 2017 [12.1.0].

I have saved a custom workspace many times to no avail.

It worked with InDesign 2017, so is it an InDesign 2018 thing?

Any ideas?

Gracias

HI Gunzablazin8591,

Ideally InDesign and other Adobe applications too, should open on the monitor where it was closed last time.

  • Open Adobe InDesign.
  • Drag the InDesign window to the monitor you would like it to open on when launched.
  • Make certain the window is not maximized.
  • Close Adobe InDesign.
  • TEST: The next time you open Adobe InDesign it should open in your desired monitor.

If it is not opening on desired monitor , please try setting the second monitor as your primary screen  and check how it work

On a mac I found a simple solution. Click F3 to open mission control. Now you can move Indesign in its whole to the monitor you want.

Have you tied the F3 trick? That reveals all the applications you have open. Then, you find the InDesign window and drag it to the monitor you want. It's super simple but not apparent at all. I found it by changing my question slightly.

It's NOT the correct answer for me.

Then start a new discussion with details on your problem. This discussion is more than five years old and I'm going to lock it to avoid any further confusion.
