      Hello:
      I have an INDD doc that is locking up (spinning beach ball of death). Whenever I try running find & replace or spell check on the doc INDD locks up. I’ve tried saving the file under a new file name and exporting as an IDML file. When I open the IDML file INDD locks up. I’ve experimented with other files. No issues with them. Any suggestions?

      Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
      Carol

      That’s odd and rare… but resetting your preferences often helps with this. More information here:

      I am having the same issue with mine. It suddenly locks up when I try to move pages or find/replace fonts. I’m trying the preferences reset now.
