An update to Adobe InDesign 5.0.2 and Adobe InCopy 5.0.2 has been posted today on the Adobe website. As of this writing, the update is not yet available from Adobe Updater. Sadly, it does not fix the Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) problems with InDesign (see below).
Here is the link for the Mac and for Windows.
Here is a brief summary of the bug fixes. A longer set of Release Notes is available on the links shown:
This update fixes known issues with Anchored Objects, Character Alignment, Step and Repeat, Indexing and Table of Contents, Text and Fonts, Dictionaries, Color, Scripting, Graphics Import/Export, InDesign Interchange files (INX), XML, Library files, and Printing, as well as other miscellaneous issues.
The note goes on to say:
This update does not address recently identified issues running Adobe InDesign CS3 on Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5.1). Known issues include the following:
? Users are unable to hide InDesign CS3 using the cmd+h keyboard shortcut.
? InDesign CS3 may unexpectedly quit when using the Place, Save, Save As or Export commands using either the OS or Adobe dialog boxes.Unfortunately, there are no workarounds for these known issues. Adobe and Apple are working closely to provide fixes. Initial testing indicates that these fixes should be provided through an update to Mac OS X Leopard. Consequently, it is not part of the InDesign CS3 5.0.2 update. No public schedule for these fixes is available at this time, but both companies understand their urgency and are working to address this. InDesign CS3 is compliant with Mac OS X Leopard as stated in the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Mac OS X Leopard FAQ which can be located at: www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf.
Mac rumor sites reported today that another update to Leopard is expected soon, perhaps as early as this Friday. Hopefully, this may fix InDesign’s Leopard problems.
