What InDesign version are you using (exactly)? Have you tried restoring your InDesign preferences? Here's how: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/

One way to do it is to select the empty graphic frame and choose Object > Fitting > Frame-Fitting Options: The dialog lets you set between different methods of fitting and filling; where the picture is aligned to the frame; and any cropping choices. Then place the picture and all the operations will be performed.

@robert, The poster is talking about the Page tool. The Page tool is in InDesign. Is there a Page tool in Adobe Express? - I don't use Express but it seems doubtful.

Steve Werner · ‎Feb 10, 2025

@robert, the poster didn't say there was an "online version" of InDesign. I think he was referring to InDesign online forums/social media by context.

Steve Werner · ‎Feb 10, 2025

The Page tool is tremendously useful. Before it was created, there was no way to have more than one page size or page orientation in a document. I teaach about it in my UC Berkeley Extension InDesign class about using it for creating multi-panel brochures and book and magazine covers. I'd call it an intermediate to advanced tool and it wouldn't be necessary for working with simpler documents.

The Span Columns command is also found in the Control panel menu

I have exactly the same setup on my 2021 M1 MacBook Pro, 14" laptop and have no such problems. There was no screeen sizing issues when I updated to InDesign 20.1. You might try restoring your InDesign preferences. You can do this from Preferences > General down at the bottom of the screen. See if that makes a difference.

Steve Werner · ‎Feb 06, 2025

Start by telling us: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using.

Steve Werner · ‎Feb 06, 2025

What operating system are you running? You might try restoring your InDesign preferences. Since you're using a recent InDesign version you can choose that from the bottom of Preferences > General.

Pantone will provide those swatches for you if you pay for them: https://www.pantone.com/products/digital/pantone-connect-for-adobe-creative-cloud/

If the position of the frames was created by positioning them on parent (master) pages for all your pages, just check the parent pages. If they were manually positioned, create an object style which specifies the positioning. If you (or someone else) can create a script, the object style could be applied quickly to all the pages. If not, apply the object style page by page.

I'm using InDesign 20.1 on a Mac Book Pro (Sequoia 15.3), and my Paragraph Styles panel shows Select All Unused: You might try restoring your InDesign preferences.

Steve Werner · ‎Jan 28, 2025

Also: Exactly what operating system are you using?

Steve Werner · ‎Jan 08, 2025

Pattern fills are not a feature in InDesign. You examples are all from Illustrator which does very well with pattern fills.

Steve Werner · ‎Jan 08, 2025

Thanks for the quick script!

Steve Werner · ‎Jan 08, 2025

There's no built-in way do that in InDesign. You (or someone else) might write a script.

Steve Werner · ‎Jan 08, 2025

I agree with Bill. It's highly likely you were scammed, unfortunately.

Steve Werner · ‎Jan 06, 2025

Just like I said above. In your other document: Choose the Object Styles panel and from its panel menu, choose Load Object Styles. Navigate to the document that has the object style(s) you need (the one you're showing) and you'll be given the option to select "Sizing for Icons".

Steve Werner · ‎Jan 06, 2025

In your other document, choose the Object Styles panel and from its panel menu, choose Load Object Styles. Navigate to the document that has the object style(s) you need and select them and they will be imported.

Steve Werner · ‎Jan 06, 2025

Object Styles are usually created for frames (graphic, type or undefined). Create a frame using the attributes you want to include. Choose the Object Style panel (if not open, choose Window. > Styles > Object Styles), from the panel menu, choose New Object Style.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 28, 2024

There are no changes in the way Illustrator files are placed in InDesign 2025 versus previous versions. When you choose Import Options, the choices are the same:

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

I agree with @Frans v.d. Geest . I have no problems dragging an InDesign file onto InDesign 2025 to open it.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

Sorry, but Adobe only supplies the current version of their applications (now 2025) and the previous version (2023). The 2023 version is not available for downloading.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

You said, "you still have to export it [the template] locally first". I could just drag the template file from its location on my local drive into the CC Library panel.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

You should be able to share the template with your colleagues by using the Share feature:

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

However, INDT is one of the allowed file formats for saving to the CC Library so you'll have to "make do" with that method.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

Apparently an INDT format is not allowed to be saved as a Cloud document as you can see in this dialog box when I try it.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 24, 2024

What you have created are called Document Presets. You should be able to view your Document Presets in File > Document Presets > Define. In that dialog box, you should be able to edit the names of the presets: You could preced the names with a pair of numbers in numberic order. I believe that should let you control the order.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 23, 2024

The problem is that Distiller doesn't understand transparency. It only understands the PostScript language which never supported transparency. There's usually no reason to convert images from RGB to CMYK in Photoshop before placing in InDesign. That's also an ancient technique. Place the RGB images into InDesign and choose File > Export > Adobe PDF and export as PDF/X-4.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 23, 2024

Apparently there is a. bug in InDesign 20.0 that I had not heard of but it's apparently a bug I had not heard of: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/issue-with-constrain-proportions-in-indesign-2025-20-0/td-p/14933789
