That is an odd format. Superscipting the pennies usually doesn’t need a decimal. The prices look better without. GREP Style could apply a format to make the decimal effectively invisible. Make the szie 0.1 pt and horizontal scaling 1%, then fill with none.   I used the Numerator form of Myriad for the cents, not superscript. This puts the top of the cents in line with the dollars. The decimal is still there (it needs to be for the cents formatting to work).   ... View more

100 pages is not that large. I routinely work on files in the 100 pp – 200 pp range. What does concern me is that the images are embedded. Are you pasting graphics from another source, such as Illustrator? Or are they graphics created in InDesign? Generally it is a good idea to keep placed files linked. It requires keeping track of the source files and making sure they travel with the InDesign file for anyone editing it, but it is much easier to troubleshoot and keeps the main file size more manageable. ...

The parenthesis indicates the kerning value is from the font’s metrics: it was designed that way.   If you don't want that kerning you will have to manually change it or change the kerning to either a specific value or Optical. You can create a character style with only Optical kerning applied, then use a GREP Style to apply it to every .” and ,”.   Here I created an Optical kerning character style and used GREP to apply it to  (\.|\,)”     ...

A few problems: You are using a return to separate lines, which makes each line its own paragraph. There is no way to use Nested Styles or Line Styles to format this way since each paragraph is always the first line. Either change the returns to line breaks (Shift + Return) or use different paragraph styles for each line and use the Next Style attribute to assign the next style. You can then select a range of text and right-click on the style for the first paragraph and select Apply [style] then Next Style. To set this up make sure each style has a Next Style attribute in its definition, including having the last style setup to use the first style again. You appear to be using Basic Paragraph Style. This is not well known (and not agreed by power users) but it is my belief that using this style is a bad idea, especially if you also edit the style. Better to never use the style, never change it from the application default, and never base any styles on Basic Paragraph Style. Doing any of these will often cause text copied between documents to change formatting in unwanted and unexpected ways. You are using multiple tabs to align text. Don’t. Use the tab ruler to set tab positions and use one tab. This makes it easier to make adjustments to the position of tabbed text and keep text aligned when formatting or content changes. ...

Only today I see this error message when launching InDesign 20.2 for MacOS (Apple Silicon): Never seen it before.

The menu appears then disappears, making it impossilbe to select anything in the menu.   I rebooted and deleted then re-installed InDesign, but it doesn't fix it. Anyone else seen this problem?

If every page has one and only one text frame and you want that frame on each page to have the same dimentions and posiiton, then: Create an Object Style to define the position and size of the frame, Use Find/Change to apply the Object Style to all text frames. You can then adjust any unwanted frames affected, like titles and page number on the Parent page.   Here I created an Object Style that only defines the size and position for a frame…   Then I used Find Change to search for any text frame with one column 9that way in can only affect text frames) and apply the “Primary text frame” Object Style.…   Good luck ...

I usually save all my Photoshop files in either TIF or PSD or PDF formats. TIF is for any image with no transparency (The layers panel shows only the Background layer). PSD is for images with trasparency or layers. PDF is for images that have vectors that I want to preserve. There's no practical difference between most formats, but by saving flattened images as TIF I know what images have transparency and might need extra attention. ... View more

You can look up the RGB or CMYK equivalents of PANTONE solid colours and use them to define a swatch. Since this is a spot (solid) colour it won’t matter if your colour definition is different from the one PANTONE provides.   If you have older versions of InDesign or Illustrator they will include PANTONE swatches.

If I am working on a long document with full justification I usully make at least one Tight variant and at least one Loose variant of my body copy styles. This is primarily to allow me to add or remove a line as needed for length or appearance.   Full justification works by taking the space that would appear at the end of the line (if using left justified text) and distributing it evenly across the line. This can be dome by adding all the extra space between each word, by adding all the extra space between each character, or by streching the characters using horizontal scaling, or some combination of the three.   Remember there are three attributes you can play with. It looks like you are unhappy with lots of word spacing, so try making the maximum word spacing lower and adding more character spacing. You can also add horizontal scaling. 1% up or down will not be noticeable and it adds one more way to adjust spacing.   In the top image I used InDesign’s default spacing, which only allows for changes to word spacing. In the bottom image I reduced the range for word spacing and added a bit for character spacing and horizontal justification. As it turns out each line breaks in the same place, but the way the space is distributed is different. ... View more
