Yesterday I hit command-F to bring up Find/Change. Nothing happened. Selected it from the edit menu. Same. I quit InDesign and restarted it. Same. Restarted the Mac and ran Disk Warrior. Restarted again. Same. Works fine on the MacBook Pro. Any suggestions what I’ve done to disable it and how I can get it back?
My guess is that InDesign is opening it, but it’s off screen for some reason. Sometimes weird things happen. Try rebuilding your preferences: https://creativepro.com/resources/faq
Thanks for the reply. Did that. Nothing happened, apart from the background shade changing. Still no dialog. Tried logging in as another user and Find/Change works there, so clearly a problem with my main user. I’ll have to do some more digging.
And as an aside, InDesign 5 on the same machine does NOT have the problem.
Ah! Spoke too soon. Just redid the rebuilt preferences and Find/Change is back again. Probably one of my fingers failed to hold down the CTRL key.
