InDesign won't Save!!!!

Indesign won't Save and won't 'Undo'.
It will work like 'normal'  this for the first 5 mins or so, then as I start to get into the flow and time passes,
all of a sudden these basic fucntions no longer work.
I try 'Save' and nothing happens. The little stupid asterick * remains there in the window title.

If I attempt to close the file, the window pops up with the options : 'Don't save', 'Save As' or 'Save'. The only option that works is 'Don't Save.' I've lost countless amount of work and time on this BS behaviour. I'm over it. I shoudl get couple of months of subscription refund for this crap.

I have to constantly redo work.

 

I have unistalled and reinstalled all Adobe products - still happens!

I'm runnng the latest everything.

What version of ID do you have? Are you install all available updates?

Did you try to "clean" your publication with idml method? Save as .idml, open this .idml, re-save as new .indd and try to work with that new indd.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about your experience. I see you've tried clean installation of the app, but it did not help. I'd request you to share the version of the OS & InDesign.

Also, please try the suggestions given on this community post & let u know if they make a difference. Looking forward to your response.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh
