It doesn't help really. I've been experiencing the same issue since upgrading to Windows 11 last month. I run a printing company, we print strictly digitally and the sizes and designs that we print are SO varied that it is impossible to do any kind of catch-all presets. Somebody fom Adobe needs to be setting down with somebody from Microsoft and get this fixed.

Since Adobe aparently had a falling out with Pantone, I know there are ways to still design with PMS colors but how?

Frequently, when I open an InDesign document my keyboard shortcuts won't work. I can execute the commands the the File menu, etc. but not by shortcut. If I close the document, not the program but just the document, and re-open they work fine. Sounds like a bug to me.

Create a MS Excel Spreadsheet. On the top row make column headers alphabetic -a-b-c, etc. Make your columns beginning in row 2 start with the numbers you want to insert first. Click and drag down to what should be the last number for that column.For instance, if your going 1-500, you'll actually drag down to select everything to and including row 501. Go up to the right and select Fill, Series and step by one. That will fill the entire column with you numbers. Save the file as an excel csv file or Macintosh csv, whichever system you're running. Open InDesign and select "data merge" and choose the CSV file you created. Create a textbox on the InDesign document and then click on the merged data selection. It will fill that box with an <<a>>, click Preview and it will show the number. If doing a multiple-up print, create additional text boxes as necessary and click on the different column headers from your csv document. Select "create merged document" and InDesign will create the the sequentially numbered document for you, then all you gotta do is print.

I tried resetting everything I know how. I restarted the program and even went farther by restarting the computers. I've got the same issue on both the PC and the MAC. I have only two tickets per sheet and only two numbers per ticket, it shouldn't take a half hour or more to do this merge. It never did up until a coupla weeks ago. Is there something in the preferences that I should be looking at in particualr? Steve

As a commercial printer I use the data merge feature often, merging numbers from columns using a MS Excel spreadsheet to place numbers on raffle tickets. The last two or three times I've done this in just the last coupla weeks, it has taken up to a half hour to create the merged document. We're only talking about 250 pages, the merge has never taken more than a minute and now, it takes at least a half hour or more. Any idea if something in the last update affected this?

Thanks but never mind. I figured it out using a data merge from an excel spreadsheet.

I am printing invoices that have a pre-assigned number on them. Numbers will run 11500-11999. It is on NCR paper (Non-Carbon Repeating) 2-part, white/yellow. (So, each number has to print twice.) I just can't figure out how to get that sequential numbering inserted into the already created document.

I am trying to figure out how to apply numbering to a form (an Invoice) in InDesign and print digitally. (The numbering I'm talking about would be equivalent to crash numbering using traditional printing methods.) I have absolutely no clue how to set up the numbering, nor how to make sure that when I print I get the numbers printed on each copy of the NCR. Any help is appreciated.
