      My main document has been set in Arial – I have converted a text box to an interactive button to be used as ‘Combo Box’ however the text is appearing in Times New Roman – can you tell me how I set the ‘Combo Box’ to use the same typeface as the rest of the document.

      Thanks

      Marc

      Yup, this is a known limitation in InDesign. See this third-party commercial script:

      FormMagic


      (If you buy it, tell them InDesignSecrets sent you.) :-)

      ok thank you – can you tell me how I add a script?

      I have worked out window – utilities – script but not sure what to do then!

      Here’s how to install a script in InDesign: https://creativepro.com/how-to-install-scripts-in-indesign.php

      However, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t that an Acrobat script? That is a different beast entirely. I’m sure id-extras has installation instructions.

      That is under File Menu > Action Wizard > Edit Actions > Import
      I’m talking about Acrobat X Pro.

      FormMagic is actually 2 scripts: One is for InDesign, one for Acrobat. Both are needed. The InDesign script is installed as usual, and the Acrobat script has to be placed in a particular folder for Acrobat to see it.

      If you download the Free edition, there’s a text file with the necessary installation instructions for both Mac and Windows. If you need help with the installation, send us an email: admin [at] id-extras.com

      Has there been an update to this issue yet in CC2018. Been 3 years since the last post and I was kinda hoping it’s been fixed – but can’t find anything online to suggest it has been. Does anyone know?

      No, I don’t think there is any change on this feature in InDesign CC 2018.
