New Here ,
Jan 29, 2025 Jan 29, 2025

I have the InDesign 20 and everytime I try to move a table, it crashes completly. I have no idea what is happening, the document is not that big.
Yes, I tried to clean the preferences, Reinstall, I don't have any plugins, it is update in my windows 11, my computer is good enough. I can't see any way to run this app. Can somebody help me? Thank you.

If it is only happening in the one document, it might be a corrupt document. Many folks try this remedy: export the InDesign document out to IDML. Then, re-open the IDML and Save-As to a new filename. This might cure the corruption. After, try to move the table and see if it is still crashing.

Also, you might consult this long list of a troubleshooting compendium.

It happens with more than one document, but not all of them from my book. Sometimes it is just with one table, sometimes with more than one. Changing to IDML didn't resolve the problem 😞 but thank you answering everyone.

Corrupted / duplicated font might be a problem.

 

Some people report problems after the latest Windows 11 update.

I also think it could be something related to that. Do you know how to correct it?

Hi @luana_moraes_1284,

 

Just following up to see if the issue has been resolved after trying the suggestions from our experts. Were you able to fix the problem by exporting the file as IDML, checking for corrupt fonts, or recreating the table?

Additionally, we’ve been receiving reports about issues related to the latest Windows 11 update from Microsoft (Microsoft cumulative update KB5050094). Users have mentioned that after installing this update, they are unable to move objects using the Selection tool, especially on a second monitor. While I am not certain if this applies to your case, you may want to try uninstalling this update (if it’s installed) to see if it makes a difference. Steps you can follow:
1. Open Settings on your Windows 11 PC.
2. Go to Windows Update > Update history.
3. Scroll down and click Uninstall updates under the "Related settings" section.
4. Locate Microsoft cumulative update KB5050094 in the list.
5. Click Uninstall and follow the on-screen instructions.
6. Restart your computer and check if the issue persists.

 

Looking forward to your update! Let me know if you still need any assistance.

 

^

Abhishek

Sometimes tables can become corrupt, I did a lot of table work in a previous job about 10-15 years ago - and I remember sometimes tables would become unstable - only solution was to extract the table and recreate it.

Have you updated to 20.1?

 

As @Mike Witherell suggested - try IDMLing to fix your document.
