I've had text pasting problems for a long, long time, and could never find a solution on Adobe's website. Yet I'm finally able to find it on a 3-year-old blog. Adobe's "customer service" is pathetic.

They're running into something else. (Font corruption, preferences corruption, or something else...). Yes, CS3 has some bugs, but Paolo, I think your company has some kind of other issue it needs to figure out. Anyone who is having 20 crashes a day (or even 3) is not running into bugs in CS3.

It’s not the weather. After all, it’s a typical beautiful day here on the outskirts of Seattle — oppressive near-rain gray, just the way I like it. No, once again my frustration turns to InDesign. As you all know, I love InDesign, but love is like a magnet: It can repulse as quickly as it attracts. So forgive me a short IDSGOM, which may be educational to some readers.

Just select the story you want to edit and choose Edit > Edit in Story Editor. ID will open a narrow window with all the text in that story and you can just scroll down.

Recently, I've resorted to saving a book as a pdf and proofing it with (Mac) Preview. I then jump back into InDesign to make corrections. Here are two fixes. 1. Why doesn't ID have feature that allows us to display L/R pages as one vertical page flow like Adobe Reader. Master pages take care of L/R differences. All I want to do is see my text without moving left and then right to keep what I'm editing on screen. 99% of the time I don't care about seeing a two-page spread as a two-page spread. 2. Why isn't there an view option to fit and keep the width of a frame on screen like there is for a single page or two page spread? Our books typically have wide margins, so a single-page and two-page display often leaves type too small to proof. We need to be able to choose to see the entire width of a text frame and keep all of it on screen as a scroll through a document. Why does editing in InDesign have to be such a pain?

There is a Data Merge feature built-in to InDesign CS2. (See the last issue of <a href="http://www.indesignmag.com" rel="nofollow">InDesign Magazine</a>.) It is only if you need more features that you would need plug-ins such as <a href="http://www.emsoftware.com" rel="nofollow">Em Software's InData</a> or <a href="http://www.teacupsoftware.com" rel="nofollow">Teacup Software's DataLinker</a>.

You want to repeat this (listing). You copy carriage return, bullet and the special space(s). You end a paragraph, you are pasting, hoping that you can continue with writing right away. What happens? Carriage return and bullet - fine. But the extra space: missing. ID deletes spaces pasted at the end of a text. Faulty programming because of faulty thinking! Have a look into QuarkXPress 3.x: XPress is also handling spaces via cutting and pasting in the necessary intelligent manner as ID - but is very conscious about spaces at the end of text: These are never deleted automatically!
