      There is a bug in Mac InDesign CS4 and CS5 which causes InDesign to crash when text containing variables is copied.

      Can someone with Mac InDesign CS5.5 please test this out for me:

      1. create a variable, or use one already created by Adobe

      2. insert it into some text

      3. copy the text

      4a. try pasting it into another part of the same document

      4b. try pasting it into an external document, for example an Excel file.

      Hopefully InDesign won't crash and you will be able to tell me whether it is fixed or not! If variables do not cause InDesign 5.5 to crash when copied then it might be worthwhile for me to upgrade to CS5.5.

      Thanks for any help.
