Hi all,

My Indesign is really quite advanced. It's showing a really advanced date:

Any ideas?

Maybe InDesign didn't like 2017 any better than I did, and has high hopes that 2018 will be a better year?

When I use the default format, it reads it just fine. When I manually enter "YYYY," it changes to 2018. It will be interesting to check again tomorrow and see if the bug is still there.

My preview matches what shows in the file. However, there is definitely a date bug going on for today's date since this is December 31, 2017!
