Hi All, 

 

Thanks for taking the time to look at this. 

 

I am unable to explain why, or how; InDesign now Slects the free transform 'pen' tool when I wish to view print mode as per the shortcut Shift+W. 

 

Any advice? 

 

Windows 11. 

Most current InDesign update.

    Hi @Harvey289420872u4b:

     

    You are showing us a screen shot of the Adobe Illustrator toolbar and in Illustrator Shift+W is the shortcut for the Width tool, which is selected in your image. Please try the shortcut in InDesign.
