InDesign issue fixed why was it broken?

[Guest]

I just purchased the design package cs5 included Photoshop, illustrator, and indesign.

Photoshop and illustrator worked as they have in the past with no problems. This is the first time I have used InDesign and it did not work.

Most of the mouse clicks did not do anything etc. After reading the help forums, I changed to my default font size ( the 60 year old eyes liked the larger fonts), and fixed the problem.

Now why would one product need the fix while other products work? I have around 4 to 7 hours invested in finding that issue, with the frustration of the broken software.

I should add I started with Photoshop; CS2 when it was new, and I can hold my own, I can sell my work. I have 3 months with Illustrator and I am learning fast.

I am not a rank beginer as I go back to before Microsloth.

So I shall say it Adobe should not have this issue with InDesign.

If I sound frustrated sorry for that, but I do feel better for it.

Thank you

Thank you for the response, this comment came from to many hours of

frustration, so in the future will post to the product forum. That said

Adobe has always provided me with excellent products and services.
