Lately can't open my documents from within InDesign

[defaultckg23kv7usdd]

Is anyone else finding that they can no longer open their documents from within indesign? As a work around I have double click on the document in the finder or drag onto the indesign icon in the dock. This is happening with documents recently created too. It is really slowing down my workflow.

Try resetting your preferences:

Windows: Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
macOS: While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.

@defaultckg23kv7usdd

The latest version of Sonoma is 14.3.1 - maybe it will help if you upgrade?

[defaultckg23kv7usdd]

Thanks Robert, I thought I was up to date but will look into that.

[BobLevine]

14.3 fixes a lot of issues connected to InDesign.

Thanks so much for your help Bob,

I will try to get up to date with the operating system at the end of the day 😊
