Reply To: Corrupted ID file – Cannot globally modify styles

IDML is the best way to remove corruption in the file itself. If that doesn’t work, then I’d start wondering about elements inside the document. For example: are there any fonts used in this file that aren’t in other? what if you delete all the images, Save As, and then try changes? What if you try deleting all the color swatches, then do a Save As, and then try changes? I know those are crazy, radical things, but it may be helpful in identifying what part of the file is messed up.

When you say you erase the old style, do you mean you delete it and when it says it’s in use, you choose the new style? If you try replacing it with some other old style that was already there, does that work?
