Make sure to also reboot your computer and relaunch InDesign. If you've done all that and you're still having problems let us know.

Hi Courtney,
Sorry to hear about your experience. In addition to suggestions given by Rob & Scott, I'd recommend following steps below to reset preferences of Adobe InDesign:
**Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and InDesign will launch with default settings. This way all your old settings will be saved in .old folders and InDesign will recreate new folders with default settings.
Let us know if it helps.
