My InDesign 2018 crashes when I open an existing document and try to do any thing with type which includes: Selecting a font from the font menu to change a font or when trying to change a font through the Type>Find Font menu. This happen with any font I am trying to change and I do not get a crash report.

I would try these things, in order:

  • I would look to see if you have any commercial plug-ins that need to be updated. For example, font management plug-ins are notorious for this kind of thing.
  • Rebuild your preferences settings. This doesn't fix everything, but it can clean up a bunch of weirdness. This is especially true if the problem started soon after upgrading your version of InDesign. (You can learn how to do this here: https://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php  )
  • If that doesn't work, then try logging in to a different user account (even a guest account) on your computer and launching InDesign. If the problem goes away, it's probably something in your user account, not InDesign itself.
