No, I'm not using a middle eastern version---but that's a moot point. To be clear, the TEXT itself is not backward. If you look at the images, it shows that the THREADING is attaching on opposite places. Compare the two photos and you should see what I mean. Also, i don't see any options in TYPE>STORY. I'm not using story for anything. THis is a PLACED document (Novel), using shift-click to autoflow. As I said, I've done this hundreds of times without this issue and I am stumped about why the threading attaches at different locations--like it's mirroring the correct attachment. ... View more

The options for UI scaling are greyed out. Also, I have adjusted the scaling on my computer several times, to no avail. RIght now, it is at 150% and 1920x1080. (see screenshot). Is there another setting that will make the interface panels and text larger? I've lost three days of work again because I can't read the small type. ... View more

The original point i made, YES. The problem needs to be addressed by updating the antiquated InDesign coding. Which they haven't done for MANY YEARS. I will always defend myself against this sort of derisive treatment. And why is it that when a woman (or anyone else you deem a lesser) doesn't fall at your feet in admiration, or points out that you are not answering the question asked, you respond that she is nasty or abusive? Do you think a woman should not stand up for herself against you, oh Master of All Things? Please. Other people have experience and expertise that doesn't disappear when they ask a specific question about something. I've been doing this for 35 years, so climb down off your high horse, mister man. For future reference, you should not respond to questions you invent, so that you can place yourself above others. If you cannot answer the question asked, then please keep your opinions to yourself. ... View more

If it's my TV BEING USED AS A MONITOR that is the problem, in your estimation, then why do all my other programs work just fine on the legibility issue? You continue to ignore this pertinent detail. I can see all the other menu text and panel text on every other program I use. It is only InDesign that has this problem.   Let me just say that when I come to any forum for help or insight, and am ignored, insulted, and the problem never gets addressed, I do tend to lose my patience. My demeanor is a product of that. I notice your continued sexism and condescension and ad hominem comments have been clear on other posts here and on KDP. Hypocrisy, much? Since you seem incapable of addressing the actual issue I have posted about, but instead feel it necessary to be sexist, haughty, passive-aggressive, and elitist, please don't bother replying at all. ...

I'd like to ask you all to dial back the condescension, please. First, the Roku IS 4k. Second, I REQUIRE InDesign for my work. Third, I also have certain disabilities that mean I have to work from a recliner, with a rolling desk over it, with the monitor about four feet or so away, and I have to use a bigger screen and larger text and images because of my visual limitations. But even if I didn't have these special needs, a slew of other users without these limitations have dealt with this issue for many, many years, and have repeatedly pleaded for a solution, to no avail. While your point about monitors being better is well taken, it's not applicable to the problem I posted. I realize that monitors are intrinsically different from TVs, though newer TVs are way better than they used to be. BUT ALL THIS MISSES THE POINT.  This has nothing to do with the TV. I don't have display problems in InDesign, per se. Everything is perfectly clear, and the color matching seems as good as my previous computer monitors. THE POINT IS, the fonts are too small on the panels and toolbars. The option for adjusting them is also greyed out, apparently because ID can't work with my PC settings on 150 to 175% for scale of text, apps and other items, and 1920x1080 resolution. All my other programs have NO PROBLEM WITH THIS. And it's not hyperbole for me to say I have worked with and continue to use hundreds of programs over the years, and use probably twenty or more on a daily basis as an indie author and publisher. I frankly can't afford a large monitor, so I use the Roku TV, and have for years, with no problem at all, EXCEPT FOR THE UI of InDesign. As I said, My other programs, including Adobe programs, DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. It's only InDesign. ... View more

I'm using a 40" Smart Roku TV, with Full HD (1080p) Resolution, and my laptop is plugged into it with an HDMI cable. Also, note that this problem does not exist with any of the 100 other programs I've used on this device. Not even with Photoshop. ... View more

My choice is greyed out on that, and NO, I can't reduce my resolution, as I use a large screen TV monitor by necessity. SO this is NOT A SOLUTION, and we have been asking for it for 20 years. The ID team doesn't care.   ... View more

Not true, in this case. I can't even use that scaling, as it is greyed out. And certainly not for the size of panel text. The only solutions include changing my resolution, which I can't do, because I am disabled, and work from a recliner, using a large TV for a monitor. My work requires a large screen, anyway (so does my vision). This has been an issue for something like 20 years, and people have continually complained and requested this feature and fix, and the InDesign team does not care. They have never done a thing about it. If there was another program that would handle the publishing I do, I would be using it. As it is, I’m stuck with ID. ... View more

No one EVER solves this. Those of us who work on TV monitors (for the large size) can never get the panels text (among other things) to scale up so they are legible. This causes great eyestrain and is just terrible, over all. This problem has been around for about 20 years, and the folks at InDesign don't care. They have never fixed it. ... View more

As i said above, WHAT I’M DOING is right-clicking, and i get that style group box, and that's ALL I GET... That's WHY I'm having to double-click to get into the edit panel. (this has never happened before, and I've been using ID for YEARS. I have 63 books, and have created most of them in it). And I hope i don't have to annihilate my preferences each time there's an issue. That seems to be the go-to solution for everything. Hopefully it will resolve, and it's just a glitch. Thanks. ...

okay, it opens the panel if i double-click the style name, but i STILL want to know why the right click doesnt' work anymore. ... View more

yes, I'm using the plus sign to create the styles, but as you can see in the screenshot, i was getting sent to that box when i did it, to add it to a style group. I'm not sure what that was about, but it seems to be working now.   ... View more

I created a fresh document, and noticed there is what looks like a group style created automatically (basic paragraph)--is that a GROUP? ... View more

Now, I can't create a new paragraph style, as it demands i place it in a style group, nor can i load styles from other documents. This has got me dead in the water. Can I remove the group style option altogether?? I NEVER want to use it. ... View more

okay, in case this helps anyone else, i got everything to work. Here are my notes: Malwarebytes was apparently locking the file. (I was so mad, I got rid of it, cancelled my subscription--no one should be able to lock you out of your own files). i did go to properties for my publishing folder and did the right click TAKE OWNERSHIP for all of them. Don't know if that mattered. When i opened the docx file in WPS writer, error message said the file was locked by another program. These files are compiled from Scrivener. I tried recompiling in both formats, with the same result--file was locked in WPS, and also couldn't load the cursor and place in ID. I pulled up scrivener file for a different book to test it, compiled to docx, created fresh ebook file from default, and placed, and it worked.   So, i figured there was some sort of corruption in the file I had trouble with. I don't know what was MB and what was maybe a corrupt scriv file. (it was fine a few days ago). After all that, I finally decided to find the epub file (which was the one used for previous publishing), loaded the epub version into calibre, converted it to docx, and when i placed that in indesign it worked, and also did the autoflow. ...

UPDATE: I tried this with an .rtf version of the file, the cursor loaded, but the text frames were not automatically created as usual. And there is no overset text indicated by a red X. When i click on that spot anyway, the cursor loads again, but shift-clicking onto the second page has the same result. It's like autoflow is turned off.   ... View more
