InDesign CS 3 - swatches disappear

[ariecht]

Hello,

I am in InDesign CS3 and suddenly my swatches are all gone. When I click on the swatches tab, it's empty. When I try to load swatchs by going to "applications - adobe indesign - presets - swatches" they're all grayed out.

Also, if I go to the color picker and "add to swatches" it doesn't get added. The swatches panel remains blank.

I tried trashing the InDesign preference file, (which I hope was "com.adobe.indesign.plist" I can't seem to find it anymore after relaunching the program), quitting and restarting, but still no swatches.

On a MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.6.

Any suggestions?

hi ariecht, you've stumbled into the forum where we talk about issues related to the forums themselves. you'll probably want to repost your question in the inDesign forum:

Thanks for the heads up. I've really had a hard time finding my way through this forum. I don't know why, but I find it quite confusing. The help is great once you can find the right place.
