    Use Find/Change to search for ^a and leave the Change to field blank. Click Change All. That deletes all anchored objects.

    That is super weird. Does it happen on all documents, or just some?
    Maybe export the document as IDML and then open the IDML file and see if the problem goes away?

    Wasim: Have you tried holding down the Shift key when you click with the Place cursor? That auto-flows and adds pages as necessary.

    Did you try to change the encoding?
    Looks like you can do that from the Save As dialog box? https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=80660

    Wow that sounds terrible and really frustrating. I don’t know what PXM is, but my guess is that you’re using some kind of script or plug-in to import that content? Maybe that is causing the problem.

    In general, hyperlinks should not just disappear like that. It is possible that there was some kind of document corruption, so you could try exporting the file as IDML and then opening that IDML file again, just to clean it up. But again, normally that should not be necessary.

    Yes, that “:” character is typically the invisible character, which is often used by plug-in developers… and Adobe, too! For example, if you make an index entry, you may also see that.

    Both Peter and Kai are expert scripters, so if you do need to rewrite the script to redefine what “empty” means, I’m sure someone here can help. :-)

    Bob Levine has a pretty good write-up of something like this in issue 108:

    Yes, the second issue I mentioned — where the profile mismatch checkbox is turned off, but the color management policy was set to Convert to Working Space — would affect the file without any warning. Dangerous!

    Actually, I just tested and the Profile Mismatch dialog box (when opening a document) doesn’t offer “convert to profile”… my mistake.

    But if the color management policies (inside Edit > Color Settings) were set to Convert to Working Space, this problem might happen when you opened a document. Swatches could change. (Not normally that dramatically, but certainly enough to be a shock.) In general, you want the policies to be set to Preserve Numbers (ignore linked profiles).

    Wow, that is very strange. Another way color swatches can change is if you choose Edit > Convert to Profile. Or if your color settings are set to show a dialog box if the color profile is different (than the file you’re opening) and someone chooses Convert to Profile. These are rare, but they could happen. In general, there are very few good reasons to use Convert to Profile (and many reasons not to).
