Text Formatting loss - 1.7.0.162 (split)


Recommended Posts

Just installed this update. Opened a docuument that was created in the previous version (less than an hour before I updated) and it has lost the text formatting amongst other things on half the document (first two pages OK, pages 3 and 4 wrecked).

Mac OS 10.12.6.

It looks like your styles have got mixed up and all of the text with your 'Body' style has a decoration applied - looks like the default 'Box' style, for what its worth. Is there any chance of getting  your document?

The file is at work - I'll get it to you tomorrow - is there a direct route to do this or shall I attach to a message? Nothing private in the file.

Just use the "Drag files here to attach, or choose files... " thing at the bottom of the reply box. The browser will figure it out for you and give us a link.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Will do. I think what's happened is that I changed a number of text style presets to suit my work and the update overwrote them. Not sure why the styles were OK in part of the document but not others. File follows later.

Hi rogershuff,

I have opened your file in the 2 previous builds and the file looks the same (with added decoration to the text frame) in each build. I've not seen any other posts with the same issue yet so this has a few of us in the office curious! 

Have you imported any text styles at all?

No - I set up some text styles from scratch to match those I use in InDesign. Having duplicated the file and re-applied the styles, things seemed OK. I'll report any future oddities. Thanks for your input.

I have tried to get consistent line above text for footnotes without success and now find that all new text boxes start and continue to be indented. I reverted to a previous file saved 12 hours prior and find the same problem, all new text boxes are indented about 2mm.

If you applied text characteristics directly to the text, you probably changed the default characteristics of the Text Frame Tool.

Instead, you should define a character or paragraph style, and apply that to the footnote text. That should leave the Text Frame default alone.
