Text Boxes Not Editable in InDesign After a Period of Time

[Saya1241]

Hallo, seit einiger Zeit habe ich das Problem, dass sich Textboxen in Indesign nach einer unbestimmten Zeit nicht mehr vernünftig bearbeiten lassen. Ich kann weder die Größe noch den Inhalt verändern, ich habe nur die Möglichkeit, die Box per Klick aufzunehmen und an anderer Stelle wieder abzulegen. Nur ein Neustart von Indesign kann das Problem beheben. Weiß jemand, wie man das Problem beheben kann?

Hi @Saya1241,

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble editing text boxes in InDesign. That sounds frustrating, especially when it disrupts your workflow.

To assist you in a better way, would you mind sharing a bit more information on this? 

1. Please tell us about your InDesign version and the details of the operating system you use.

2, Does this problem occur with all documents or just specific ones?

3. Couls you share a screen recording of the whole workflow till the issue? It would be helpful. 

We're here to help and will wait for your response. 

Thank you,
