Question

InDesign dialog box is tiny

Hi,

 

I was wondering if there is any way to increase the size of the dialog boxes in InDesign (open file, save document, place etc etc). Currently mine takes up a tiny portion of my screen and I have to resize it every time so I can use it – see attached image.

 

[Screen shot removed at OP's request]

 

Ideally I'd like to set it to be the same size every time to save me doing this. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Rob

This is a HUGE problem for me. Constantly, every day, I have to resize dialog boxes within every Adobe program because they are so small, I can only see the first few files or folders per location.  It is maddening.  I am on Mac OS Big Sur.  Is anyone else having this problem??

Can you use InDesign on a laptop? I need two 27"" screens...

You may open Mac OS preferences, monitor and change the scale of windows, as depicte in the screenshot:

I've just realised this is probably an OSX problem, rather than an InDesign issue, so this post may be in the wrong place. Any solutions are still much appreciated!
