InDesign CC 2018 crashes - new index entry

[chrisd75736168]

Working in a single chapter of 1300 page book. InDesign CC 2018 crashes every time I try to create a new index entry. I've installed the BugFxes for Mac, deleted preferences, restarted machine, etc. Trying to create new index entry crashes each chapter even when working in each chapter individually. InDesign CC 2017 did not have this problem. Any assistance or suggestions are appreciated.

In the meantime, use CC 2017. You can save your CC 2018 document to IDML (File > Save As > InDesign CS4 or Later [IDML]) and open in CC 2017 until the issue is resolved with an update.

How soon could there be an update to resolve this issue???

You're the only person who has posted such an issue on this forum. Because there are other issues going on as well, you're advised to go back to CC 2017 in the meantime.

Ahhh… good news on a deadline…

[Steve Werner]

It's probably worth reminding you NOT to do an update when you're on deadline.

I'm not an Adobe employee. That is my view from my thirty plus years in the graphic arts business.

Understood. 25+ Years under my belt as well. Just moving too fast under the gun and forgot the basics.
